I’ve changed my own direction over the years.

These days you’re more likely to find me seeking a means of reaching out to groups of Americans who tend to lean democrat. I simply show respect, explain why I’m a conservative, and how conservatism will be good for them.

I’ve made a lot of unlikely friends that way and that just gives me a chance to promote conservatism even more.

good for you! i have been trying to do the same too... for me, it's trying to live out the second greatest commandment as Jesus described to Nicodemus in Matthew 22:39--love your neighbor as yourself...

it is not easy...

Funny, I’ve been doing the same thing.
Showing Democrat-leaning voters that conservatives are normal people who care about America can be powerful.
The uber-left are hopeless but so far, they are a minority.

I agree 100%.

I have never been a real liberal, but it was there somewhat in the past. My family is almost all democrats. I find both parties, have in part sold out to a smaller section of their membership, at the “top”.

There is a big swatch of people who are somewhere in the middle. In fact, a majority I would say.

Continue reaching out to those people.

There is a segment you will never connect with, but do not lose sight of the fact there is a huge segment of America right now which is not particularly happy with either party.

Reach out to them.

Dems are moving ever to the left. Communism, government, and more control.

Our side however has our own vulnerabilities, and they have become quite large. Mainly we need to support American jobs.

Bigtime.

Neither party is 100% right. Just keep supporting what is.

I’m spending too much time at FR. Your post was at the bottom of the screen and your screen name was cut off. While reading your post, I thought, this has to be from Cripplecreek. Sure enough, it was. I commend you for reaching out.

I have surprised a few liberals with my attitude and generosity over the years but they still listen to the media and think we want to “starve grandma” and continue our “war on women”. Most are stuck in their group think.
