United States | News & Politics

It’s a very large country dominated by few sources of news that at best, will give an idea about what some of the population is feeling.

Social media is not much better an indicator. Usually with a very small percentage of people participating who probably don’t fit the demographic of any large group of people.

More so, opinion polls can be inaccurate at this time because most people don’t reply to spam calls, text or mail.

In my area most people are not political at all, the people I know who identify as conservative either don’t care, know or support what is happening. Most people I know who identify as not conservative are out of the loop or cynical.

Regardless, most of either persuasion would regard my comments and this thread as odd. Meanwhile I am sure I can tune into, and read about, how evil liberals or conservatives can be.

Neither label applies to most. When I grew up, many years ago, conservative to me meant going to church once a week and not robbing banks, and liberals were seen as promoting reading and planting trees.

People really have not changed that much, but those words certainly did. I miss the old definitions, and am not making any sort of political comment here

What are you talking about? Conservative used to just mean people who wanted to protect and conserve the American way of life and the American political and economic systems..... Which oppress minorities and enrich the owner class lol

It means many things to different people, its an overused word. Now, its a bad word
