Comment by TrickDacy@lemmy.world on U.S. EO to take all power under office of President

Think this is effectively where the US stops pretending democracy is still a thing

So you’re saying you’re actually not conservative?

God the political discourse on lemmy has fallen off a cliff in terms of quality

Looks like you’re owning up to being conservative. Thanks for your input, rando

I am a conservative because I criticized you? You learn something new every day

You’re mad that I made a pretty safe assumption about conservatives.

im not angry, just bewildered. im just a spectator commenting on your tribalistic behaviour causing you to instantly call me a conservative because i said your commentary is garbage, and quite frankly that’s an understatement. i hope you understand that this behaviour is one of the reasons why the democrats lost the election and that partisanism is a construct designed to make you angry and be divided from your neighbours, and you have clearly fallen for it.

To say that most people who are responded to this way are conservatives destroying society is an understatement.

I’m not all that concerned with you holier-than-thou takes here either. If you don’t see the problems for what they are, I don’t really need to have conversations with you just being smug the whole time.

Okay. Well show me I’m wrong and tell us your stance on Putin and specifically the war in Ukraine.

Putin is a tyrant, and Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine should keep all their territory, and Russia should pay for all Ukraine’s wartime debts.

Thanks for that response. I apologize for my assumption and I’m happy I’m wrong. With this said, how do you feel Trump is handling Putin currently?

He knows he has to say that or you will eviscerate him. Conservatives lie about their true feelings when they think it will negatively impact them. They have no courage.

I’ve all but given up on bridging the divide, but something in me wants to find one “conservative” person who is sane and honest but just somehow honestly has a huge blind spot

Not well tbh. But he’s handling other things better. You win some, you lose some.

Alright. What is an example of something he handled well?
