And beyond, if they don't change their ways... Because millions of people just like me will refuse to support their ideology that has gone off the rails and directly into crazytown.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a staunch liberal. Here's what I realized recently: The left takes things way too far.

I'm in favor of police reform... But defending the police and labeling them all murderers, racists and cowards is absolutely ridiculous.

I have nothing but love and respect for the LGBTQ community, and I wish them all a happy Pride Month. But I don't want kids at a drag show where sexually suggestive signs are up and those ladies are twerking. Nor do I want my child reading pornographic material in middle school because everyone is too afraid to call it what it is for fear of being labeled a bigot.

I do my best to understand the plight of the un-housed. I think there should be far more social programs to mitigate what I see as a national crisis... But allowing them to take over entire cities and turn it into a warzone that looks like a third world country and isn't safe for anyone is far from the answer.

I stand with anyone that identifies as trans-gendered. I think it takes a lot of courage and strength to live one's authentic self and wish all adults or even those close to adulthood a happy, safe journey in that regard... But allowing little children to pick their identity and/or giving them hormone therapy? Absolutely unacceptable.

I support the BLM movement completely... But taking over swaths of entire cities, fire-bombing police stations and hurting people does nothing for this cause.

I believe Climate Change is a real thing. The evidence is overwhelming... But to punish Americans and make them do the heavy lifting which may or may not change a thing while other countries have zero interest in doing the same.... is unfathomable to me.

I understand that we have a higher incarceration rate than nearly anywhere else and think this should be looked at and solved. But allowing soft on crime prosecutors to take over is absolutely bullshit. And heaving the Squad talk about abolishing prisons makes me want to vomit.

I believe in immigration and think that immigrants were and are the backbone of our country... But understand that there needs to be a process. People are just flooding into our borders and anyone that says this could be problematic is deemed a racist. Absolutely ridiculous.

There are so many people just like me that are tired of this nonsense, and will abandon the left now, that I think it will spell real disaster for what was once a reasonable party with a lot of good ideas and frankly, the moral high ground. Now it's a cesspool of wokeness where idiocy rules and everything is racist, sexist or homophobic.

Honestly, I hope the left learns a hard lesson.

Wow. if it has taken you this long to realize all of the above, then you are not very bright, are you?

You have made your bed, now you can lie in it.

I don't think it has anything to do with being bright, but rather endorsing an ideology that I believed in and in many ways still do... But also one that's been hijacked by an extremist faction.

we were all like this once. Good on him for admitting it and seeing the light . It took me a while to figure it out as well, considering how my people are always supposed to vote Dem
 
Well if you are being real nice points TS. The left is too scared to stand up to their radicals that dictate the talking points
I am one of those people, unfortunately. If I put this on my facebook, I'd be met with an unbelievable amount of fury... And become a pariah in my social circles. I guess what I'm saying is that there's a lot of people like me that are tired of this bullshit that just aren't going to say anything, but will vote the other way. And I think it's going to take the left by surprise.

Both sides need to take a hard look at themselves.
 
I also think people are going to vote directly for what is effecting them. The economy is the big one so the Dems are out as they are running the show right now and we are watching it crash and burn

The big issue of the last election was the pandemic. Everyone though Biden had an out for us and Trump didnt handle it correct. Everyone was effected by the pandemic.
 
Democrats care more about identity politics than they do the struggle that a huge % of the population are currently facing in just putting enough food in their fridge.

They love to claim they're all about the people but anyone with a 3 digit IQ scoffs at that notion.

You're not wrong.

Yea maybe some of you guys are getting bullied into submission. Someone will call you not a real democrat or real liberal like bill mahr, Rogan, ect. I have no issues calling out right wingers as I’m a conservative. They say some dumb stuff and dumb ideas,
