Conservative ideology of maybe twenty years ago would likely have a lot better chance at meaningful discussion as opposed to right now. At this time, the political right in the US have thrown full-throated support for policies that many people (rightfully) feel are abhorrent.

For less repugnant topics, say, fiscal responsibility, that one is also a tough one to talk about seeing as the right is trying to gut every social program they can think of while doing all they can to cut taxes for the rich.

I know there are sane conservatives out there, but until that party steers their ship away from bigotry, hatred, and destroying the middle and lower class, you'll probably not find a lot of discussion. Which is a shame because I think we do need two strong parties with differing viewpoints, but when the other viewpoint is rampant discrimination and further enriching the wealthy.

That was a damn fine rant that I wish a lot more people would see. Thank you for speaking your mind about it and...whatever it's worth, I'm sorry you have to try an exist alongside these knuckle-dragging hate-mongers.

It's there with a long press. I missed it too at first.

That's the one. May your day be brighter with more kittens while doomscrolling the news.

I had a similar one but for the former president. I still have it installed and it always confuses me for a second until I remember it.
