      I am a Republican and I hate their stance on electric cars, walkable cities, etc. For some reason, the party has taken an ignorant and hard stance against electric.

      Could you look at other stances too? It’s not just this.

          Did you, self-declared “very moderate” Republican, vote for Trump either time?

          Because, historically, Hillary and Biden would be considered very moderate Republicans.

                  The only reason so many people are “obsessed” with him is because all 350M or so of us saw exactly the sort of person he is, and exactly the sort of damage he could do as president. Some people liked that. Most of us were horrified, and were additionally horrified by the fraction of people who did actually genuinely like him because of the things he did and continues to do. It’s a litmus test.

                  But yes - you’re nominally right, so let’s put the man aside for a moment. Personally, I’m still curious which current, national-level GOP policies you continue to find compelling.

                  Please present evidence that I have an “obsession” with Trump. Unless that was a lie. Was it a lie?

                  Two posts is not an obsession.

          • No exceptions for rape and incest.
          • Supporting 1/6
          • Observation of them being worse for the economy after investigating state of economy for decades
          • Closing of majority-black voting poll locations.

          And this is a short list

            No exceptions for rape and incest.

            The alternative currently being no restrictions whatsoever, which, statistically speaking, is more relevant than a small % worth of exceptions. Make me Supreme overlord of the universe and you bet you’ll have a few exceptions.

            Supporting 1/6

            Burn the fucking government to the ground for all I care.

            Observation of them being worse for the economy after investigating state of economy for decades

            OK and? I’m not playing some strategy game here. Optimizing existence isn’t the goal. “the economy” isn’t some God we must appease.

            Closing of majority-black voting poll locations.

            Pretty fucking bottom of the barrel shit to be deciding a vote based on. Decide polling locations by throwing a dart at a map for all I care.
