I love it how people are like: Lebron spoke out in support of Hillary! How great it is when athletes use their influence for good! But when Tom Brady supports Trump, everyone’s just like “Tom Brady needs to shut up and just play football!”

Yes Reagan grew the government (mostly in the military sector), but he cut regulations and the corporate tax rate, encouraging growth. GW had a gridlocked gov’t 3/4ths of his presidency, and no one wanted to compromise.

Red states also have small deficits comparatively to blue ones, which is a good thing.

Trickle down economics vs. high-tax theory is an interesting case where neither party is right. Believe it or not, the rate of taxes on the weathly has shown no correlation with economic growth.

But that’s what I’m saying, many of these beliefs aren’t based of off blatant falsehoods. The blatant lies, like the “massive voter fraud” and “massive crowd sizes” aren’t believed by a majority of republicans and don’t form a core part of their ideology. What does is the belief in religious rights, small government,…

Yeah, that’s why the whole idea of succession is ridiculous.

Really? My beliefs are that sometimes republicans are right, and sometimes democrats are right. It’s about taking the best qualities from both parties and making a better union for it. You’re just looking for an excuse to completely ignore what the other side says. The fact that a good deal of believe republicans can…

I go on Fox News and I see just that, news. It’s from a conservative slant, but no more than this website is from a liberal slant. The reason you believe your news is better than Fox or whatever is because you think you’re “right”, and that their articles express “crazy views” and “false news” that you believe to be…

He vetoed both of their spending bills which caused the government to shut down. But there was compromise during his terms.

Dangerous is a little much. The halt on immigration is a bad solution to a legitiment problem, not the sign of evil myopic white Christians hating everyone else. Trump isn’t “evil” for having views different than yours. Considering all his advisers have been telling him to shape up and he has’t, I very much doubt that…

Well both candidates kind of sucked this go round. The real problem is the primary system, which nominates either a solid red-republican or a solid-blue democrat instead of a moderate to unite the country.

Yep. And both sides won’t listen to the other.

I’m not talking about racism, I’m sure you’ve been exposed to enough of that.

Because it exposes people to views and opinions they haven’t heard before.

Yeah, I agree there’s a lot of misinformation out there. People seem to believe what they want, not what’s true. Anyways, thanks for discussing your views with me, I hope this discussion was as informative to you as it was to me

He got about 47% percent of the vote, with record numbers of voters voting. I think part of the reason he got elected was because blue-collar workers voted for him, instead of in the democratic ones they had normally voted. I know a lot of my Republican friends were appalled when he was nominated, but excused voting…

I mean some of their views are wrong, but so are some leftist views. The ones that believe the “alternate facts” normally constitute a minority of conservatives.

Well you really can’t discount their beliefs unless you understand them. Republicans don’t believe that Muslims are a threat (which is wrong), but that immigrant Muslims are more likely to be a threat (which is true but the real issue is on how this should be addressed). And that climate change is happening (which is…

Like Obamacare. Not saying it was a bad thing, but he didn’t take republican worries into account (that it would place undo burdens on small businesses and that religious minorities would have to pay for abortions, ect.) when he wrote it. No compromise there.

Of course. Right-wing extremism is a problem. Racism in any form is a crutch for those looking for someone to blame. However, I don’t believe Trump was voted into office by the alt-right. The alt-right consists of less than 1% of the population. It’s unfair to link all Trump voters with the alt-right, just as it’s…
