The further left or right you go, the more they are the same. Aka. Horse-shoe political theory.

Center-right leaning individuals definitely do not wish to destroy democracy anymore than center-left.

Just because someone is conservative also doesn't mean they agree with all the agenda's pushed forth by the conservative side like abortion either... Or even adhere to various conspiracy theories.
The binary Left vs Right is a silly debate and I would love for political discussions to move on from that and move onto debating various policies and legislature on a merits basis rather than simply shutting it down because their opponents pushed it.

Obviously the media plays a big role... I.E. Fox vs CNN can propagate fake information just as readily as each other... And they love to sensationalize and "rally" their support base... It's what helps make them money in the end.

As for January 6th... Trump should be jailed just for that without question.

Peaceful protest is a democratic right across the globe in free societies... Storming the capital and rallying your fan-base to do it is blatantly illegal.

At least with regards the United States, the horseshoe is highly imbalanced.  We have a far right but no far left.  Especially in our government.

And even with the spectrum we do have, there is also a difference in their vociferous natures.  Our far right is extremely blusterous and violent. Our farthest left is pretty meek and quiet.

This dichotomy causes issues with public perceptions. Since our middle left is louder than our farthest left, the middle left become seen as our full representation of what is on the left. Conversely, since our far right is louder than our middle right, the the far right become seen as our full representation of what is on the right.

My worry is that, as alluded to, the far right isn't just getting louder but getting power. The far right isn't just taking over the public perception of what is on the right but it's laws that go beyond just mere perception.

Abortion Proves Winning Strategy for Alabama Democrat - POLITICO

Trump +1 district.

This is why I think Democrats will win, women are pissed at Republicans.

Once again an example of polling being broken too, I wouldn't doom over any polls coming out this far out from election.

Oh please hire only people who believe the election was stolen

Only the best and brightest here in the RNC.

If you're a conservative who supports abortion rights, you'll hold your nose and vote Republican anyway. The Republican Party is ruled by evangelicals from the South and Midwest, and criminalizing abortion is now baked into the party's DNA. For fiscal conservatives, aboriton rights and women's health are very small sacrifices made for tax cuts, deregulation, and shielding from liability/prosecution when people are hurt or killed by deregulation.

For that same reason, conservatives who denounced Trump in 2020 will overwhelmingly vote for him again in 2024. Just as one example, Nelson Pelz, a billionaire conservative activist who is trying to oust Bob Iger at Disney, said in 2020 that he regretted voting for Trump. Just a week ago, Pelz said that he was going to vote for Trump but wasn't "happy" about it, citing Biden's age as a concern. Trump is less than four years younger than Biden, and Pelz himself is two years older than Biden. Pelz had supported Ron DeSantis until DeSantis completely crashed and burned in the primaries. 

"Center right" individuals in the United States consider tax cuts and deregulation far more important than democracy. They don't want to destroy democracy, but they will willingly collaborate with those who do, as long as they get what they want. 

more like 1650s, if they had their way.

Say it in Chinese????

Presumably a very weak attempt to imply the speaker was acting on behalf of the Chinese government.

Swalwell had ties to a Chinese woman named Fang Fang who was a suspected spy. After a two year investigation, the House Ethics Committee dropped its investigation of him. 

Wonder who that was? Bobo? Anna Paulina Luna? 

Ahhhh, I was right. It was the Lunatic. She's the Lauren Boebert of Florida.
