Who is Aqua Copper?
Oops - need to edit! LOL
Edited. LOL Copper and Aqua were right next to each other on my alaphet list. I had copper as R and Aqua as CL

It’s an interesting exercise, and I have to assume your point of reference is TNCR itself. Surely in Canada Renauda is center right if not just plain old right.
George is more conservative than Horace in most respects. He’s just not Trumpist.
But Horace makes sympathetic noises about single payer healthcare, for example, that you’d never hear George make.
Anyway, besides quibbles like that it seems pretty good.
Only non-witches get due process.

Correct.
On some people, I just wasn't sure. Somethings I thought the were one side or the other, but wasn't too sure so just guessed!! LOL

Well yeah but you'd be incapable of establishing what 'Trumpist' means beyond 'doesn't share my visceral hatred of the man'.

I think a better word for his followers would be 'Trumpeter'.
I was only joking

I think an even better word for his supporter (not followers) would be AMERICANS.
Calling Trump supporters "followers" is insulting. It implies we are members of a cult. The cult is the Left, those suffering from TDS are the cultists.
-
So, anybody who doesn't support him isn't a real American. Right, nothing cult-like there, at all.

I have no idea what I'd label myself as anymore. There's no prominent platform out there that doesn't subscribe to a Yellow Dog ideology, so to hell with all of them.
CL or no, I'll say this for nothing: I'm far more comfortable hanging with Trumpists these days than anyone woke.
Please love yourself.

The only reason the visceral, destructive hatred of Trump isn't shameful is because all the people who feel it are surrounded by people who also feel it. These sorts of things only become shameful with historical perspective, if ever.
Education is extremely important.

I didn't say that. You're the one drawing lines, not me.
But now that you mention it, let's consider the actions of your side of the aisle and see how American they are.. burning flags, infanticide, attempting to make us a Socialist country, chanting "fuck America", and on an on. That's the side you're on, whether you are willing to admit it or not. And that's not American.
-
That's not actually the side I'm on, at all.
I know that would simplify things, but that doesn't make it true.

Whatever you say, Larry. Always the voice of reason.
You paint anybody who doesn't agree with you as an imbecile, or an extremist, or both.
