Leftism is indeed a lie.
One of the things Ive always respected about the Right, or at least Conservatives, is their clarity when it comes to their intent. There’s no hidden agenda. When a conservative stands against abortion it’s because they are against the killing of the unborn, not because “they want to control women’s bodies.”
Being a centrist, I’ve never identified as a conservative. Despite the difference in politics on a few issues, I’ve always preferred this site and conservatives in general over the Left. I’ve been lurking and occasionally posting in the comments since 2002. Never once was I booted out for having a difference of opinion. Sure ppl argue, but it’s never become tribal.
I used to defend the Left. Not anymore. Y’all were right.... about a lot of things. The biggest thing You were right about, and I was wrong, was gay rights / trans rights and how soon the pedophiles would show up demanding to be “accepted”. I used to think that was insane. I was wrong.
I’ve been meaning to make a post about this for awhile so I thought I would drop it here. There are more things you all were right about but there’s no point in detailing them all. The main thing I hope you all to know, despite being a filthy fence sitter, when push comes to shove I’m on your side. The Left have truly exposed themselves as the maniacs they are.
Welcome to the party Pal!
You might guess from my screen name that I was not always conservative.
The main issue that got me to question the left was abortion. They claim to be compassionate, but they support lying to women and killing their babies for profit? How do moral people do that? Questioning the left’s promotion of abortion got me to question many of the other policies they claim are compassionate. In the end, I concluded that every policy is meant to control people and concentrate more power in the political realm.
Anyway, congratulations on your growth, and I hope that you continue to enlighten your views.
Hey,
I was an agnostic/atheist for 40 years!
