This previous thread is not exactly the same, but has some overlap with your proposal: > [@My job as a Republican](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-job-as-a-republican/966838): > > My prediction is that by post 2 this will be turned into an anti-Trump thread. At least I’m going to try. I consider myself a moderate Republican meaning fiscally conservative and recognizing the deficit/debt problem is due to both sides of the aisle but I am a social progressive/libertarian. I am pro-choice. I don’t care if you smoke weed. Public schools are the greatest invention this country has ever come up with (besides the Cinnabon) and we need to eliminate any and all public funding … The amount of snark and attempts at shitposty derailment it attracted, I think, is perhaps instructive, in terms of how difficult it would be to keep such a discussion on track and what it could potentially achieve as far as productive dialogue. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-want-to-start-a-thread-but-i-think-i-will-need-moderator-support/980583)._
