You always start with the position on the far end of your argument so you have room to negotiate... The difference is when you characterize all decenting views as evil
they would say that about people on the right, but people on the right dont want to radically change the culture in LA or New York if they dont live there. Progressives want to change the culture of every consevative State in the US and will only stop when every city and town agrees with their opinions on religion, free markets, sexual morality, immigration etc.
Both sides play that game though " they gonna put you back in chains" vs "they are going to start murdering babies"
Saying the right doesn't want to change LA or NY is not entirely true and to what degree it is true its relatively recent
Yeah I'd like LA to NOT BE a plague infested hell-hole
build the california wall
Don't forget the right was for prohibition, anti gay marriage, etc
Im saying most of the right would not lose sleep over these states doing what they want as long as they leave everyone else alone. They would want them to become conservative but I dont think you would see fake crimes to support a narrative and things like that
I dont think the religious right will back off of antiabortion just because it crosses state lines
They may be against roe vs wade, but i dont believe thats the end game
They will still see it as murder
I recommend watching the Prohibition PBS documentary, Putz, you'll find prohibition a product of progressiveness, a belief that infested both parties at the time
And do you think the metaphor of leftists roaming the countryside looking for wrongthinkers (shooting survivers) is wrong
not a lot of left wingers getting purged from companies
I know prohibition was wet vs dry, not left vs right, my point was it was still a view that existed on the right that was pushed as a moral necessity for the country. States rights didnt matter
The one thing i can say for prohibition is that it was done by ammendement which was fhe correct method unlike the war on drugs
Progressivism is openly totalitarian. Conservativism by its very nature, is not. Live and let live has been the compromising motto for the Right. The Left overall, and certainly now more than ever, does not buy into that notion.
But the republucans are not a party of state rights. Its just am alignment of convinence at the moment
Ah, I see. Still I think it unfair to push moral necessity as something belonging to the right. I think you can look at the current pearl-clutching oh-wont-someone-please-think-of-the-children culture infesting the left right now as proof that moral hawkish proclivities belong to all mankind
The GOP is a joke atm. Full of cowards and do-nothings. So don't get me confused.
They have never failed to disappoint me.

On or about 16 June 2Ø16 I was interviewed by a bar owner. She asked if I owned a gun. I told her I did not.
She asked if I had problems working around gays; I did not, I'd served with gays in the militry.
Then she said, *"If someone comes in here to do a Pulse, kill him or die trying."*
¿Hoax? I doubt it... The threat was never carried out. Thank God they picked him up, whether he meant to do it or not.
Neo-cons gotta go. Just saying.
my point was never about the GOP and I havent seen rightists going after left wing small business owners in other states to destoy them for wrongthink

At least not for over 70 years.
@Mandatory Carry I am glad nothing happened, to be clear, but I find some things fishy about it is all.
GET IN HERE AND WATCH THIS HISTORICAL INTERVIEW WITH SANGMOORE'S HONG KONG CORRESPONDENT

@Purple Thinking Cap
¿That he drove 3 states?
@Mandatory Carry What? Do you think I'm talking about the Pulse Night Club guy? The article is about a Fresno native threatening the FAB Club under the name Maga Shooter
@Mandatory Carry He said the Club should change its name to "Pulse"
@Deleted User will do that. If you havent checked China uncensored has a lot of interesting coverage on Hong Kong. They are soft censored by youtube so you know they are good 😉
@Purple Thinking Cap
Oh. I thought you were reffering to the *"kill him or die trying"* story. ... You wouldn't have been the first to challenge that story... I had to break down and pretend to be getting a new job last year over it. 😠
@Mandatory Carry Can honestly say I don't know that one
@Mandatory Carry hold on, I'm stupid, you're referring to your previous comment
We all do it once in a while.
Yes
No I find it amusing
Sometimes I find stuff that i dislike amusing
So, same
