I really enjoy this app but it’s really true that if you hold anything other than the One Correct Opinion you get insulted, shouted down, and ratioed. Obviously a feature not a bug for you guys, but interesting to observe.

Disdain of core traditions, hypocritical virtue signalling, causing chaos, etc. They won't focus on uplifting the poor, even though it would help ethnic minorities.
But ah, I guess I should have stuck to talking about the flaws in the economic left instead.

Both sides lack key communitarian values and glorify toxic individualism. One has rugged individualism, the other has blue haired individualism.

Red hats are standard fascists. But some parts of the blue coalition are so incredibly alternative fascist that if the red hats made room for them, they'd jump ship ASAP.

I will never support "abolishing" any government agency or department, not even the CIA with its hellish history; the most I can do is support the unmasking, defunding, (temporary) firing, imprisonment, retraining of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Y'all are not supposed to say that. But technically, Melania Trump is very close to being like Natasha Fatale.
[Bonus: I don't support any models or former models, because of my "war on the entertainment industry."]

Who told you that? All debts must be repaid for the purpose of justice. If crime can be deterred, (or someone can be rehabilitated, as you mentioned) that's a nice bonus.
Next you'll say you want to abolish capital punishment.

Yes, conservatives definitely need to shush more often, but they're the only people who understand that the justice system must be punitive, and that Gambler's Mindset (and gambling) is vice. | Separate conservatives from fascists, even though conservatives are rare nowadays.

Yes, I'm sure the FBI majorly messed up in its first 22 years, they should have abolished that too. Actually, the United States may have messed up in its first 22 years too...unpatriotic.

ICE is only 22 yo. It is not an essential part of our history, and it is not doing what it was created for. SHUT it down, and investigate any officers who violated our rights!!!
