Is there such a thing as a moderate in US politics anymore?

You're one or the other
Basically, the issues have become too important for fence straddling. A racist and misogynist is [b]president[/b], and he’s been selecting a like-minded cabinet since he was elected. Anyone who is okay with that is not a moderate, they’re an apologist for fascism.

@bijouxbroussard I respectfully disagree. I consider myself a Moderate Independent. I do not support Trump at all though.

@bijouxbroussard I don't think Trump is a good President, but I am not a Fascist. I do not believe in Totalitarianism in any form.

I think moderates, regardless of whether leaning left or right, are the new silent majority. The lane in the middle gets wider the more polarized the country becomes. Unfortunately, voices of reason that believe in concepts like compromise, statesmanship, civility, and collaboration are being completely drowned out by the blustering fringes. I don't see a path out of this tailspin, which is why I truly believe this country is entering its death throes. It may take a generation or two, but I don't see things as sustainable on its current trajectory. I really have lost all faith in this country and its people.

@SW-User When the house falls, you can bet your ass I'll be fighting for what's left. You're right about the instability, it's what Putin wanted. There's gonna be a world war after our civil war.

@Sarin so republicans invented the electoral college? You get an F in history.
Sarin · 26-30, M
@MasterLee Conservatives did, in fact. That F stands for Fuck conservatives.

I’m a moderate dem. but caucus with liberals against a common enemy, the Trumparians.
