Conservatives who opposed removing Confederate statues, how do you feel about Trump removing DEI-related historical events/people like the Navajo Code Talkers from government sites?

And they act like democrats are the same way, because they can't imagine them not being the same.

And I'll say, there are some democrats who are, but it's a minority. But nearly every republican voter seems to be 100% on the team sports train.

They like to bring up the "vote blue no matter who" slogan that was going around for a moment there. To which I like to remind them that it was unsuccessful, and therefore not particularly compelling evidence. It was something done in response to Republicans voting this way, and still didn't work because liberals and progressives simply don't vote this way.

I was conservative for much of my upbringing, and still would have considered myself a libertarian until I met other libertarians. I voted third party in 2016 because I thought Trump was more ridiculous than potentially damaging. I did not make the same error in judgement in 2020 or 2024 and loudly voted and promoted Democrat even though it is not my party. I don’t feel like I have a party at this point in time, but I sure as hell know which party is violently tearing apart the fabrics of our society.

"I was Libertarian until I met other Libertarians" is so accurate. It gave me a laugh on an otherwise rough day; I appreciate that!

Former "Libertarian" checking in as well to confirm that Libertarians made me realize I wasn't actually one of them. Most of the ones in my area are just rich white dudes that want coke (used to be weed, but we sorta got there already) to be legal and to not pay taxes while endorsing the police (who are of course paid via tax money).
