I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    Let’s see if we can find any differences. Which party supports gun laws? Which party supports women’s rights to bodily autonomy? Which party supports mail in ballots? Which party believes that there was an attempted insurrection on Jan 6, 2021? Which party does not tout the ‘stollen’ election lie? Which party knows ‘stollen’ is not how you spell stolen? (Just a little joke to break up the wall of text.

    Now for a few other points which may help you see if they’re both the same…

    Which party refuses to even discuss putting any limits on gun rights? Which party believes a single cell nonviable organism trump’s a woman’s right to bodily autonomy? Which party thinks mail in ballots are an absolute no-go? Which party believes what happened on Jan 6 was a “peaceful protest”? Which party tells its constituents that the 2020 election was stolen?

    And last, but most importantly of all, which party has closed ranks around a past president who tried to overthrow the counting of the electoral counts, who has been caught on several audio recordings pressuring state officials to throw out their electoral votes?

    Maybe it’s just me, but I see a BIG difference.

      Which party supports genocide in Palestine and continuously providing weapons around the world?

      Which party is incapable of recognizing the relationship between all of our military spending, and worsening conditions at home?

      Which party wants to continue acting like the world oceans are theirs and no one else has any right to control over them?

      Which party is willing to use force to enforce the view above?

      I’m old enough that I remember a time when the US was at peace (not that it was peaceful), and there was actual political debates around foreign policy, rather than a bipartisan consensus that if you stayed from will get you called a dictator-of-the-month sympathizer.

      Right, this is what it means to have a sober and comprehensive look at the issues that separate the parties. Nobody who says both parties are the same ever seems capable of participating in this type of conversation, they just talk in memes.
