Robert Morrow is trying way too hard. He is also the Platonic ideal of a Trump voter.

Trump: What’s San Francisco famous for again? Curry? I love Indian food! I love Indians! I deal with the Indians all the time.

1 loaf of whole grain bread with the most amount of grains?

Oh, he wants Trump Bread. The classiest, grainiest bread on the market. No Mexican buyers, please.

Probably Medicine, Eugene.

If we’re wishing (to put this in perspective, I am super cheap) I would pay $200 to see President Obama debate Donald Trump.

I can’t see a downside. Bernie is a pro, and he’ll dismantle Trump piece by tiny piece. Upside for the Dems, a much more public version of Elizabeth Warren’s Twitter war with El Drumpfo. If, by some longshot, Bernie became the nominee, he’ll have already embarrassed the Donald on a national stage. If the more likely…

Well, he is a self-proclaimed billionaire that won’t release his taxes to prove it.

I also grew up in rural KY in a Southern Baptist church, but somehow my family remained democrats when most evangelical Christians turned republican. In the words of my grandfather, “Republicans only care about rich people.”

The republican party of today, of the last few decades even, is not a party of conservatives. The last president to have a balanced budget was Clinton, a Democrat. Conservatism is about controlling the reach of government. The current Republican party is about expanding the reach of faux-conservative ideals like…

I disagree that a conservative voice is needed to consider budgets and the Constitutionality of laws. It’s true that conservatives wave around the idea of fiscal responsibility and use political rhetoric to claim the Constitution as their own, but they are demonstrably not better on budgets or the Constitution.

This is an excellent piece, and very similar to my political evolution throughout my 30's.

Actually- I’m not white, I’m definitely not rich and a member of the lgbtq community. I didn’t have a fully formed ideology at 18 but I was raised to question and research information on my own.

I wish I could have been apolitical at 18.

For me it was Katrina. I remember the moment precisely, sitting in my parents’ kitchen while home for the weekend, and staring at black people who’d been sitting on a fucking bridge for multiple days, including children, and thinking “this would not be happening if they were white.” That was the first moment towards…

“If you’re not a liberal when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative when you’re 40, you have no head.”

I don’t make a secret of my liberal politics to my neighbors, but I don’t broadcast them unsolicited, either. I’d rather wait until I have a solid reason to bring them up

It’s nice when people talk about how fiscally conservative their policies are and then when you point out that free birth control prevents expensive health care and welfare costs down the line, for people they don’t want reproducing anyway, or how free/cheap public housing for the homeless drives down spending for…

Loved this. It so so so sums up my life politically—I grew up in rural Kentucky in a very conservative Southern Baptist family. When I registered to vote when I was 18, I registered Independent, but still voted Republican with my parents. When I was a freshman in college I was on the email list for the campus pro-life…
