The same could be said about us here. That’s the problem with American politics at the moment. To stay in power, the people IN power have chosen to drive a wedge between the electorate which pushes everyone either left or right. There are no centrists anymore. Think about it, we can Centrists “Rinos” - I don’t know what the Dems call them.

But I wonder where people like JFK, IKE and Truman would fall in today’s political spectrum.

I disagree. Sure, we have flame wars here. But not about identity politics.

Personally, I think homosexuals are mentally ill and I try to stay away from them. But I would (figuratively) embrace any Homosexuals For Trump cadre that showed up. I would stand with them. Likewise, I think the ghetto culture is very self-destructive. But any Blacks who want to vote for lower taxes or RKBA is my brother. I could go on and on.

I don't chase anyone. I don't persecute anyone. I don't reject anyone. But I do reject ideas if I think they are bad ideas.

The Democrats basically want to kill anyone who disagrees with them. That's why they are different from us. That's why they are dangerous.

All three would be considered right-wing, bigoted troglodytes.

Gay marriage? GTFO.

Gay anything? GTFO.

Abortion on demand, paid for by taxpayers? GTFO

Allowing Commies on US campuses?

Commies in Hollywood?

Commies to tear apart big cities?

Pretty much any 2018 mainstream "liberal" position would be considered lunacy by these three people.
