Generally liberals are pro choice, pro gun control, fight for social equality and believe the government should do all it can to ensure the well being of it's citizens. They are also for environmental regulation and fight for social justice.
Conservatives are pro life, pro business, anti gun control, they believe the government does to much or is ineffective and should stay out of our lives for the most part. They are generally more hesitant to equality. They are pro big military and usually very nationalistic and are more likely to be religious
WHY do you WANT to belong to EITHER group? Why not be ideologically independent?
No matter what you THINK you are you are going to be attacked , harassed, insulted, defamed and INTENTIONALLY provoked by everyone SIMPLY because you you do NOT agree with them and trying to objective and unbiased and NEUTRAL.. if you can be an EMOTIONALLY MATURE ADULT and agree to disagree about ANYTHING, especially politics OR religion?faith or anything else. SOMEONE is going to despise, and only YOU can decide whether you are going to be sheep and follow the herd or be an independent and loner and follow your own path because you Can USE YOUR GRAIN AND your freewill, and your are NOT AFRAID to do that..
Yes. I was politically confused and pathetic for very long time. but after one of my hometowns got flooded catastrophically by Katrina and it seemed like wl Bush didn't CARE, i was furious.. i know realize w. bush was probably just to emotionally in shock and numb, not that he didn't care.. I grew up in greater New Orleans AND the Oklahoma panhandle.. The New Orleans I grew up in is GONE, FOREVER.. Even before Katrina, in my head was a was and i am a 4th generation Oklahoman.
The republican party of the 1980s is NOT the Republican party of TODAY , the southern Democrats are few and Far between and the Surviving Southern Democrats have learned how to compromise TO SURVIVE. and the CURRENT Democratic party is NOT the Same Democratic party of the 1970s, EXCLUDING the Southern Democrats... The ony thing that wiped the memory of the Civil War./ War between the States in the Deep south was katrina, and not EVERYONE has forgotten.
Be independent. the ONLY reason i declared a party was so i can vote in primary and local elections.. I NEVER vote straight party tickets. I've even turned in my ballot and asked for another one when i realized i WAS almost voting a straight party ticket.. I voted for an idiot as governor of Louisiana in 1971 only because i was acquainted with his youngest daughter, but he did not win.
Use YOUR brain and free will. You don't sign your ballots and no one should be able to figure out WHO you voted for or WHAT you voted for or against.. you can also choose NOT to vote as form of political protest. I know someone who did not vote at all in 2016 because she could not stand EITHER candidate..
No matter WHAT you choose, someone is going to despise or hate you..
Imagine that someone gets cancer and will die without treatment, but they're also poor and can't afford the extensive costs of treatment. Would you (a) want a system of government in place with proper safety nets such that a person like this could still receive treatment, or (b) just let them die because poor people are only poor because they're degenerate and lazy and brought it upon themselves.
If you chose A, you're a liberal. If you chose B, you're a conservative.
