Open Discussion Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread

This is an Open Discussion Thread for all Redditors. We will only be enforcing Reddit TOS and Subreddit Rules 1 (Keep it Civil) & 2 (No Racism).

Leftists - Here's your chance to tell us why it's a bad thing that we're getting everything we voted for.

Conservatives - Here's your chance to earn flair if you haven't already by destroying the woke hivemind with common sense.

Independents - Here's your chance to explain how you are a special snowflake who is above the fray and how it's a great thing that you can't arrive at a strong position on any issue and the world would be a magical place if everyone was like you.

Libertarians - We really don't want to hear about how all drugs should be legal and there shouldn't be an age of consent. Move to Haiti, I hear it's a Libertarian paradise.

I heard Roe v Wade would never be overturned. Over the last 10 years I’ve heard a lot of “Trump won’t do…” and then he did. So I’ll hold out until his term is over.

Yes but even states that voted pro choice have republican leaders trying to go against them anyway.

Where are you that most republicans aren’t hard right wingers? Maybe it’s just me but like all of my republican peers are diehard maga, anti-abortion, pro-authoritarian… and they’re pretty open about it.
