How long do you want to ignore this user?

Yep, all sorts of surveys showing how radical republicans have become...
...yet none are willing to clearly define how they draw what "the middle" is. I like to ask them why the chart doesn't look like mine instead.
LOL
Doesn't that median party line need to be drawn quite a bit further to the left?

From Elon's Twitter thread...
Not sure I agree with that.
My views have remained consistent - they used to be considered center but with the radical pulling the whole spectrum left, I'm now probably pretty hard conservative but not extreme.
I am however aggressive against radicals in the left - not because I have equally radical views but because I'm generally just fed up with what they are doing to this country.
Being aggressively anti-leftist doesn't mean you have extremely conservative views.

But the extremes on both sides get the airtime. The truth is there…most of the country is in the center or just to the left or right of center, and are ignored.

Elon should tell everyone that he's coming out with a new version of the blue check. It's a blue B, which means you have been verified as a billionaire.
Heads would explode again.

This quote from Atlas Shrugged feels particularly poignant. It's speaking of Nat Taggart, the original founder of the company, and Dagny's ancestor.
"Just remember that he represented a code for existence which - for a brief span in all human history - drove slavery out of the civilized world. Remember it, when you feel baffled by the nature of his enemies."

Wtf even was that post? A back patting statement on personal politics completely out of the blue, completely unprompted and not relevant at all to the discussion not topic of the thread. What synapses need to fire in order to make a post like that? The brain is wild.

I'm in the same boat. In both my circle of longtime friends and in my friend groups at A&M I have long been a bit to the left and use to feel I was relatively center compared to average American public. I'm now relatively hard right compared to what I hear and see regularly.

It's difficult to believe how some basic views went from centrist to "alt right" in like 20 years
Examples:
"What you do in your bedroom isn't necessarily my business and I won't ask about it. But don't ask me to comment about how lovely and normal it is either and perhaps stop talking about it non-stop"
"No, I don't really think it's my obligation to pay enough taxes for the non-working to have a universal expendable income"
"Pay for you own college, and if you do it with debt you should pay it back - not me"
"No, impressionable kids shouldn't be given life altering treatment like sex changes or hormone therapy that alters their development"
"A parent should have the final word on anything taught to their young kid about sex or any other topic"
"Two parent homes should be the goal - as the data shows they correlate with pretty much every positive outcome"
"People shouldn't be categorical judged negatively because they were born white"
"Let's not allow people to kill babies in most circumstances"
"If you want to infringe upon rights for private gun ownership, you'll need to lawfully change the constitution where it explicitly says you cannot"
"I don't think the US can take on the 5 billion people in the world who live in what the US defines as poverty. So we probably do need to control our borders."
I know, I'm probably being put on an FBI watchlist for saying such radical beliefs.

Where do you think that puts Tanya on the "crazy/hot" graph?

Glad to see Lawrence putting his pennies to work. Disappointed to see the Saudis still involved.
I think she was stoned.

Elon looks... Different than I remember...
If Twitter acquisition completes, company will be super focused on hardcore software engineering, design, infosec & server hardware https://t.co/m2HseK0TXl

New York Times has managed to piss off Elon's Mom.
Job interest increased?
Weird.
We were left to believe no one would want to work there.

I thought he was married and had kids, the youngest with some super weird name
He's been married. And he has kids.
But he's a bit of a playboy.
Heck, he banged Amber Heard in Johnny Depp's condo.

"Alt-right"? Do you realize that's a left-wing term? Why are you (who have never been left-wing correct?) defining yourself based on the left's narrative? Of course by the left's viewpoint you're a raging right wing extremist. Their viewpoint is only extreme because THEY'VE gone far left.FrioAg 00 said:

The left has such a stranglehold on our culture that we really have to consciously consider our wording unless you want your world view dictated by the left.
