And stereotype them as well?

That is a lie!
Can someone explain to me what the hell a charging station is? Because I'm seeing in my mind a place people are pulling over and charging their devices, which is something I can totally see someone coming up with and people going for. Do they have a drive through (NO! I am NOT spelling it 'thru', bite me.) $tarbuck$ at these places? If that's the case, I'm parking in front of one in an 18 wheeler. People be sipping their triple latte no foam machiatto half soy (etc) and be like "no she didn't!"

Also, what the hell is wrong with you people?

Well, I guess you'd fit right in around here after all. Lot's of people loving trucks, and cars too, and many of them race (but not your kind of race ...stock car races). Lot of antique/classic car lovers around here too.

They don't. Why do liberals view everything through a lens of hate? Dare to disagree with anything a liberal says, no matter how trivial and the response is always the same "you hate XYZ!".

Other than that, the terms “liberal” and “conservative” mean nothing.
As has often been demonstrated, the masses embrace opposing party policies when they believe that their party supports them.

If I hear that anyone aligns 100% with whatever group, I write them off mentally, they hold no interest to me.

I can no longer identify with either group, nor do I want to.
Soulmates.

It seems it's impossible to fathom for 80% of America that two persons can disagree and both be patriotic, respectful Americans.

This working stiff with a 401k has seen wealth coming down to me at a rate faster than a trickle. O

and they love to live in their own bubble.

It's not about blue states vs red states. Why are cities so liberal, why rural areas so conservative? If you look at where the money is being made it's in the cities, not the rural areas. Most rural areas are absolutely dead outside of those with oil fields.

Fade. Scandinavians are poorer and have shorter lives than Scandinavian Americans. Chew on that fact.

The world is a much worse place due to the welfare states.

Any person in their right mind should be more concerned about providing for themselves and their family first.
This is the problem I have with conservatism its ultimately only about yourself or your family other people are not important and should not receive help.

You automatically translate everything into extreme nonsense.

I can tolerate people who are misinformed, but I have little patience for people who are misinformed while making up their own version of what others are saying as if nobody in here can actually read for themselves.

Even though you're anonymous, you'd do well to have some self-respect.
