    No.

    You, like other conservatives, are hooked on the ravenous red meat of outrage. And instead of trying to move away from outrage politics, you defend it. And more importantly, you do so while claiming to be of a different ideology because you’ve noticed that the word “conservative” is no longer looked well upon in some social circles.

      Oh okay, so we’re going to make judgements? Fine fine.

      I’m definitely conservative, socially and fiscally, however there’s policies from the left that I can get on board with. Because policies are more important than mouth pieces and stupid chit like DEI hires pretending to be actual leaders of anything.

      Unlike you and your ilk, I’m willing to go outside the safe zone (fkn lol) and interact with people who have different opinions. Only cowards stay in their little bubbles chit talking day in and day out. And that’s a knock at both leftists and rightists.

      The fact that you have a problem with Libs of TikTok exposing degenerates says a helluva a lot. But I’m also not surprised in this day and age. Just like the right has crazies defending other crazies, so does the left.

      Anyway, enough off topic, I have no care to further entertain you.

        I’m a Republican. This area is outside my safe zone. But outrage politics affects us all and I judge people who engage in it harshly.

        But sure. Judge me harder daddy. I haven’t stated my opinion yet, I’m simply pointing out that you’re engaging in outrage politics and you probably shouldn’t be flexing on that.

        Just a bit more cause you’re entertaining as hell?

        What policies “from the left” could you get on board with?

          I mean, when people point out that Joe Biden is a Neocon who supports Israel and USAs rightful dominant place in the world… Erm I agree with that and want to vote for him.

          I’m a Neocon. And proud of it and can defend a lot of my positions.


          What pisses me off about the new wave of conservatives is that it’s all reactionary. There is no guiding philosophy.

          With regards to neoconservatives: I know we get a bad rap since Bush. But events like Ukraine show the importance of us being the stalwart defenders and stepping up to challenges around the world.

          But thats the thing. I’ll tell you that while proudly wearing my colors as a Neocon. This ‘Libs of TikTok’ bullshit is just fucking awful politics. We can’t actually work or talk around our issues when people are pretending to be on the wrong sides of debates

          Politics shouldn’t be about ‘owning’ the other side. Politics should be about effectively communicating our beliefs to each other, especially our disagreements. And finding compromises where possible.


          Anyway, it’s Joever to some extent so I guess all in on Kamala. She’s still acceptable to my philosophy if only because Trump + JD Vance is such a bad choice. So y’all got my vote this year, at least temporarily.
