By the way, I know that CNN isn’t even really news anymore but it’s easily accessible to everyone.

    Nice to see some reasonable and grounded conservative content. I don’t agree with most conservative social and economic positions, but I can respect someone who supports them in good faith. Pretty much everything I see coming from people who consider themselves conservative in the US today is…not that. I guess this is what you get when Fox News becomes the core of your party

      The loudest people are often the most extreme, and that shows up most in American conservatives. The vast majority of conservatives are moderates which is why it’s currently so easy for Democrats to get more conservatives to sometimes vote for them.

        Unfortunately the politicians representing them now don’t seem to be. I wish we could somehow get a party that supports conservative policies with reasonable people and sound politics. Not this cult-like anti-truth, anti-science, fear-based messaging we have now. The US really needs a system that supports more than 2 parties

    I always find it suspicious when people make a big deal out of how conservative they are, but turn around and find CNN as their top choice for this kind of thing. Like, he couldn’t find a single other place to publish your opinion? Always makes me question whether people like him are actually still supporting conservative ideals, or if they’ve just flipped and want to trick other people into following them
