      Just look for a poll about what policies they support.

      If you ask them for a label they’ll say conservative. But a poll that asks about specific policies will show they support progressive ones.

      If I linked a single poll, people would say I cherry picked or keep sea Lioning me for more.

        This is generally true of conservatives / GOP voters as a whole (though, of course, there are always exceptions).

        When you ask them about policies without words or phrases they have been taught to react to, they almost always support … maybe not progressive ideas, but moderately liberal ones. When asked about healthcare, for instance, they react strongly against “Obamacare” and “ACA” and now, “individual mandate”. But explain what the ACA does, and how it works, and how insurance companies have to spend certain percentage of their revenue on healthcare instead of profits, and conservatives love it.

        They don’t get upset until they hear words or phrases the media has told them to get upset about.

      I was ki da feeling like

      Did you post this from an iPhone? I feel like there’s a bug in the dimensions of the touch target for the N key because I often end up with an errant space on that specific key. I’ve not filed a bug report because I’m not sure if it’s just me.
