The only thing I want to see come back from the past is the higher tax rate on corporations, millionaires and billionaires.

A wise person once said, “People don’t become more conservative as they age: They simply fail to progress.” Progressive ideas take a long time to come to fruition, because it takes time to build majorities to override the folks stuck in the past.

My least favorite contradiction in terms is "Conservative Christian." Jesus was so progressive that we're still not living up to his standards 2000 years later.

Conservatives have been on the wrong side of just about every issue. Tax rates. Smoking. Seat belt laws. Environmental regulation. For-profit healthcare. Public education. Every single issue, they have been wrong.

When you hear someone admit to being "right-minded, " it is safe to assume that they are also "closed-minded." That has been my experience.

I had right wingers tell me the confederates were liberals. They also said FDR was a conservative fighting the socialism of Germany.

[NoNameHasBeenFound]

Then they bring up "Well Lincoln freed the slaves and he was a Republican" but conveniently forget that that happened some time before the party switch.

Today's conservatives want us back in the 50's. To them, it's the best time in America. Whenever I hear that crap, I let them know they watched too many "Leave it to Beaver" reruns when we were young. America was never like that.

Pure truth, here. Thank you for doing this.

I had this realization when I was 11 years old and I’m still wondering how most people didn’t

When those groups can't get their way they usually turn violent also. It culminated in the OK City bombing and then the attack on the capitol.

So good. So true. Conservatives call us woke and socialists and snowflakes. They tell us we're stupid for voting with our emotions.

It seems people are beginning to understand that staying in the past isn't helpful to anyone. It's just makes us a big stagnant pool of smelly, murky water. Our society, our people, our world is changing and evolving. We Are Not Going Back 💙🌊🎉💕

All you have to understand about conservatives is fascism. Later have a great day, vote blue. Thanks DB

[RamblinRick_]

Conservatives are all about Me, Me. Me. No social conscience or responsibility. Liberals are all about We, We, We. Liberals are inclusive, Conservatives, exclusive.

[j.rileyindependentproductions]

I agree with you completely. A lot of Conservatives try pointing at Lincoln-era Republicans when talking about history books, conveniently ignoring that the Republicans of that era were (for the era) Progressive, not Conservative as they are now.

[scotjohnston]

It's almost as if some force was trying to hold back the human race.

[SkeletonChrist]

Ya gotta roll with the changes.

END MAGA 2024

[GenerationX]

Defending the status quo usually puts you on the wrong side of history.

[Chris_Donovan]

Despite being older, I admit to not being interested in politics until Trump, progressive that he is, WOKE me up to just how dangerous MAGA is. In retrospect, I was wrong for being complacent, but it seems like the politicians on the Left have been historically slow to shout out just how ignorant, racist and sexist the Right has always been. Much to my surprise, it's the minority women who have loudly called them out on all of it recently.

Question, when ever has a republican administration ever balanced the federal debt? Unlike multiple efforts by the Democrat party .
