now it's was a necessary evil

I'm sorry that you hate people who support the defense of Ukraine. What they have in common with Vietnam war protesters is the idea that invaders should be resisted and countries left to make their own choices.

Who yells at you for not liking microplastics in your water? It's been liberals who have been fighting encroaching plastics for many decades. Which conservatives are on the anti-plastic bandwagon??

it used to be question everything now it's only question conservatives

Mostly it's question the status quo, which is currently labeled "conservative" but is actually tRumpist.

● Can you explain why we need a $4 trillion tax cut when spending cuts amount to maybe $160 billion?
● Can you explain why we shouldn't continue to give our children the MMR & TDaP vaccines?
● Can you explain why 3 million acres of national forests need to be sold?
● Can you explain why tRump's national police force needs to keep their names and faces secret?
● Can you explain why our Consumer Financial Protection Bureau needed to be eliminated?

If you resent being questioned, if you can't mount a logical defense of current "conservative" policies, if your only response is whataboutism and attacks, then you need to think real hard about why you support things you can't explain or defend.

BTW, one strong thread of leftism that's been around from the first Earth Day until now is conservation, including clean air and clean water. And you & I both know who's working hard to roll back those environmental regulations and log and stripmine our national forests.

@ElwoodBlues i never said i hate people i dont hate anyone i got yelled that for saying microplastics and fluoride should not be in the water
and no I am not a Donald Trump fan but what I am saying is we should criticize everything not just conservatives is the corporate man the government versus us the people

@meltingflowers I'm guessing you got yelled at about fluoride and not microplastics. And you can't say who yelled at you?

what I am saying is we should criticize everything

I'm saying we should START by criticizing the policies we have the best chance of changing. And since you can't defend those policies, you should be joining me in criticizing them. In your original statement, you clearly want to criticize leftists and leave conservatives alone. Are you now changing that?
