    I assure you that if that was the case this culture war nonsense wouldn’t exist and Americans would have a decent quality of life

      Americans would have a decent quality of life if they would let the progressives make some policies. Progressive policies are wildly popular and generally serve to improve the quality of life for the average person.

      The right has adopted talking about culture war issues 24/7 like it is their fucking job. Why? Because conservative policies are unpopular as fuck across the board, and are a non-starter for the majority of the country. Republicans abandoned a policy first platform a long time ago, and similarly the world is abandoning the small minded sycophants that make up their electorate.

      Get a grip, you are embarrassing yourself…Nobody here is buying the bullshit you’re trying to sell. You must have forgotten this ain’t Reddit.

        OR maybe it’s because conservatives are more concerned about social issues than economic ones because… Well, that’s what conservatives do by definition

          You literally just argued that the “left” or more specifically progressives were the ones focusing on culture war issues. Moving the goal posts when someone calls you out on your bullshit is exactly what I would expect.

          The entire conservative psychological warfare doctrine is based around never engaging with the substance of any issues because you know you can’t fucking win. Get Wrekt ✌️

            I love how you didn’t answer the lastest comment in the thread and instead “answered” an older one just to get the “gotcha”

      How are you so fucking dumb you can’t wrap your mind around the concept of minority groups?

      Not everyone on the left is a prog, but you knew that of course. Weak attempt at trolling, sad

        Yes, minority groups deserve the same rights and protections as all citizens. Anyone who says they shouldn’t is a huge motherfucker
