Let me be real clear: this message board does NOT need conservatives

Or we could be grownups and look at each issue individually, recognizing that even terrible leaders sometimes do something worth supporting.

For example, the Abraham Accords were a very good thing, and Democrats appear to be rejecting or ignoring them for the simple reason that they were a Trump thing.

Biden undid Trump’s border controls because Orange Man Bad, and now there is a disaster at the border about ten times greater than what Trump had. I’m still waiting for AOC to put on her white crying suit and put on another performance at the gates of one of those new facilities that have been opened to house all the kids in cages.

I can think Biden is a lying, plagiarizing, unintelligent bully who has lost a step due to age, while still approving of his stance against defunding the police and being tough on China.

I can generally like right-wing policies while admitting that Donald Trump is a sleazy, lying misogynist who abuses people verbally as a standard tactic and stabs his friends in the back when they are no longer useful to him.

And you can like Democrats while admitting that perhaps spending several trillion dollars on ‘infrastructure’ while the economy is overheating and there are resource shortages and inflation is not such a good idea right now, and that Andrew Cuomo shouldn’t have put all those COVID patients in nursing homes and covered it up, or serially groped his female staff.

Blind partisanship is for suckers. If you always reflexively take ‘your’ team’s side on every issue, you are being played.

And that’s why you need conservatives here - to occasionally remind you that there is another point of view so you don’t become a blind idealogue.
