            Purity testing is a good thing, quality control is as important for political movements as it is for food

        The people you disagree with are far right… or far left, depending upon your political orientation.

        the majority of people are not far right.

        the issue is that people who are far right, are far more likely to run for office than moderate candidates are. and run better campaigns, and win more votes.

          I don’t know. I ask because I cannot explain anyone even tolerating Trump’s actions in any way unless they are far right. I still know people defending his actions… Anyone opposing him in any way, the rest of America thinks is “far left”. So it’s a weird time…

            You are captured by the false media narrative that you are one thing or the other.

            The vast majority of voters are neither far right or far left. They are moderate. However, moderate people dont’ get any airtime because the extremists here, and everywhere else, paint everyone as either FOR or AGAIN things.

            Moderate voters went for Trump because he offered them a better platform to vote for, especially economically. And Trump’s tanking now that his policies are showing to be horrible. But he has 2.5 more years in office.

              They’re not moderate, they’re the people who will say “they just need to drop a bomb on that neighborhood” talking about the black neighborhood of course. They love acting moderate in public but they really want genocide against brown people and they want poor people without healthcare to be left in the street to die. Trump is doing exactly what they’ve been saying in private for decades.
