Regardless of which side of the political aisle you are in, what is one hot take you have that would get you cancelled in your own party?

I feel like I’m going to ruffle a lot of feathers with this one, but somebody’s gotta say it.
You cannot scream nonstop about foreign countries like Israel having so much influence over our elections and our policies and in the same breath, tell us that we should be making Palestine and the people of Gaza our #1 priority in our elections over our own interests. I see leftists do this all the time and it gives me whiplash every single time. Babe, you are doing the exact same thing you are criticizing both Democrats and Republicans for doing with Israel. The only difference is that both parties are getting paid to support Israel’s interests. You are promoting Palestine’s interests over what is good for Americans for free. I don’t want to be the United States of Israel, but I’m not trying to become the United States of Palestine either. If we’re against foreign influence, let’s actually be against it. All of it, not just the versions of it we don’t like.

That there are in fact some things government is good at doing, that shouldn't be handled by the free market, as long as there are checks and balances.

Also, I think if you vote to go to war, you need to be on the front lines.

Also, I can want to have nice beaches, clean water, and fresh air and not be an eco-terrorist.

@Mcmarie90 All fair and reasonable points, but yeah… I can see all these being some spicy takes in Conservativeland.
