I’m a conservative. I don’t mind the liberal stuff here. It’s good to learn the other side, but I don’t want a liberal echo chamber. I’d like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    All of your right leaning opinions listed are not opinions at all - they are Republican talking points, written and promoted by Republicans whose life experience (abortion for example) often flies in the face of these statements.

    How you think they fit with the rest of your statements is beyond me. Do you just drool and nod at Fox News?

      With all due respect, you’re very condescending and snobby. You act like you know his beliefs better than he does, that superiority complex looks ugly on you.

      You think insulting people for having certain views is going to be helpful in this dialogue? You think mocking someone who’s having a conversation with you in good faith is productive?

      Grow up, quit being so smug and childish.

      Hey I understand the frustration, but the person you’re replying too seems to me to be offering up their understanding of things in good faith, and if your goal is to maje the world better—good faith discussion is going to go a lot further in that.

      Although if your goal is just to feel good dunking on that person, then I suppose this comment serves that goal, but I want to believe you do actually care about trying to make things better.
