  That's quite an admission. Would you say your feelings are objective?

    Observation, not admission. The fact remains that you can't argue with feelings.

  I honestly don’t mean this as an insult or to be demeaning. I find this comment extremely illuminating and I don’t think it should be downvoted. What you’re seeing here is exactly how cult members speak about their in-group versus out-group. It is a deeply emotional and all-encompassing experience, just like gryfft describes. Agreed, no truer answer, and not something that can be argued with for people who feel this way. I appreciate someone coming out and just saying this instead of playing whack-a-mole on policies which clearly are totally secondary to the emotional overwhelm described above.

      > The left wants prostitution, drugs, crime to be legalized. What’s wrong with prostitution being legalized? Brothels and sex work has been a thing since humans existed. Can’t speak for drugs, except we have been asking for Cannabis to be taken off the scheduled list. Nobody is asking for crime to be legalized. In fact in the Bay we have been extremely mad about how SF and their DA has been treating crime, same goes for the Oakland DA.

      There's a few kooks pointing guns at people, and should be arrested for doing so. The idea it's a movement or supported by liberals is delusional nonsense promoted by the disinformation of whatever your news source is. How do you explain the vast majority of Republicans supporting Ukraine over Russia, and in just a few weeks of Trump revealing his full throated support for Russia, most Republicans now support Russia? You think that's normal? Who is the Trump equivalent cult leader of the left who has flipped people around that quickly?

      How about Trump pardoning Ross Ulbricht? The dude was a massive drug dealer. How about pardoning J6 convicts? We all watched the crimes on TV, they had due process and trials.

He is delivering on what he promised and I support all of the things he promised. I was a democrat for 40 years of my 45 year old life.

  So prices are down, jobs are up, and the wars are over?

  Is there a scorecard I can look at somewhere of promises-made, promises-kept, new-policies-never-promised?

  This would be more interesting if you elaborated on a couple of promises and what you see as delivering.

      > We treat criminals like children and society falls. We treat them like criminals and society survives. Thoughts on Trump not being sentenced as an equal to a normal citizen despite being lawfully convicted?

      > I've seen at least 3 people in my community [no longer feeling safe to express themselves and engage in harmless acts of personal freedom due to the implied coercive threat of a police state] it's like the sociopathic cherry to top off your other favorite things like child labor, child starvation, bathroom genital inspectors for your wife and daughter, and mass layoffs of black people and veterans.
