Didba 5,531 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I posted the article in the smack talk thread but I was interested in starting a discussion on how different sects of conservatives will react since Trump is calling for protests similar to Jan. 6th. I think some conservatives will say good riddance and throw weight behind DeSantis. Others will probably be protesting like Trump requested. thoughts?

The Democrats give we conservatives no choice. Not true. The democrats gave conservatives like yourself no choice but not all conservatives saw it your way. My Dad is conservative. Voted for Trump in 2016, and Biden in 2020. First time in his life to vote democrat. He told me he’d vote Biden in and then vote him out in 2024 but he refused to vote for Trump ever again. My Mother was the same way. They are in their 60s. Edited March 19, 2023 by Didba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably see mostly peaceful riots where conservatives burn and loot across the nation. Strictly after 5PM local time though. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The democrats gave conservatives like yourself no choice but not all conservatives saw it your way. It's rare for all of any group to see things the same way. People looked at Trump, didn't like what they saw and refused to consider the disaster that electing Joe & the Ho would be. "There's a limit to how much damage can be done in four years". Whatever that limit is, there clearly has been a gracious plenty of disaster so far and they've got almost two years left to do even more damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still looking for a definition of what conservative means,,, politically. You defined the term as "far right extremists".

I’ll agree with your first sentence and apply it’s substance to the last sentence! Thanks for the reasonable, relatively serious response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of crazy snake oil type stuff I’ve had to warn my mom about because her sister told her it was “healthy” is insane. she had my mom about to nebulize hydrogen peroxide to “protect from Covid”. Had to send my mom several articles from hospitals about the dangers of inhaling peroxide. my aunt got it from some Dr. Ox wannabe quack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
