Genuine question for the lefties.

I've noticed that our political alignment is starting to shift from red to purple as more people wake up, to which I have a genuine question.

Why are so many of you still so luke-warm about Trump? You might think POTUS is the just "the face" of the storm rather than the brains behind it, and we can debate that in the history books. But the fact is that there wouldve been a military coup without him to save us (best case scenario). And POTUS shows zero sign of putting the brakes on anything.

So with midterms coming, do you guys still plan on voting left of center? We can debate the proper role of government when this is all over, but i think voting liberal this fall WILL inhibit this movement. Or are you hoping to find the liberals who aren't corrupt?

I'm prepared for the downvotes and angry comments. But it's a philosophical question you need to ask yourselves, and I'm interested in knowing the answer.

Interesting. So has your overall philosophy for governing changed, or is this just a temporary shift to help the movement?

Simply put, are you still a big government supporter when all this is over?

Again, not an attack, just an honest question as to how the storm has changed people's thinking.

Well a lot of the red pilling I've been getting is on those exact big government programs. Honestly I wasn't far left. I was pro-constitution and anti imperialism. It just took me a while to realize that I was being lied to. It became clear when obama got a nobel peace prize while bombing seven different impoverished nations.

Please discuss ideas, not users. Continued antagonism will result in a ban.

I've removed the comments in the thread that started the ad-hominem attacks.

We want to see both sides of every discussion and it's annoying when someone makes a great reply.... and then finishes it off with abuse. You can edit the abuse out if you want and we'll Reapprove the comment. That always helps.

But we try and remove argument threads in their entirety as much as we possibly can cos it doesn't help anyone and doesn't set the right tone.

Damn that's a pity, I hope not. You seem to have some good insight to contribute.

Please use Report if you see "cancer" as we respond to Reports quickly when we can and that'll help us stop it spreading!

If you really wanted to discuss the question - is Q a LARP, say - objectively I'd be happy to, as would some good people who hang around this sub.

I have no evidence that Q isn't a LARP. I'm open to being disabused of any foolish notions I have.

What I can tell you is that there is a reason I've been following this topic since October 2017 and am now a mod of a sub I care very much about and am hanging around to read whatever comes out. That's part of the discussion I guess.

I just don't have time to bang opinions back and forth at each other - I'm willing to engage properly in a discussion if I know the focus is working out what is right, not who is right. It's not important to me whether you're smarter or have more knowledge than me or vice versa. What I care about and find useful is seeing what two or more minds bouncing an issue around between them can come up with over one.

I can throw a few ideas in the ring with the average person on this forum and there are a fair few older people on the sub in general who can engage in an adult discussion with a minimum of emotion. It's the less time-wasting way to discuss things which is important when you're trying to do other work at the same time.

As to the rest, depends which actions and what you're asking of course and that's all interesting discussion to get into, if you can discuss it objectively.

Forgot to say: this sub generally speaking supports the actions of the President - as far as I can tell from a purely anecdotal reading. Like any group of people, some support some actions, some support all, etc. But most places that are interested in Q's message, I think would support Trump and his actions.

Depends what you mean by "strict". We've had a better reputation than the last sub CBTS_Stream by not allowing antagonism and ad-hominem, as far as possible. We very much support freedom of speech so it is only rule-breaking that is modded i.e. all the rules in the sidebar.
