RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.
Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.

The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

If that was true then you'd be able to demonstrate the math cacluating how much life exists elsewhere in the galaxy. You can't because they are all guesses. GIGO. <---I mentioned that before along with Fermi's Paradox. The fact remains you, like me, have faith the math is a reasonable assumption althought the Fermi question should give everyone pause.
Secondly since you've declared as fact that God doesn't exist, not simply "disbelieve", it means you are an atheist who has faith in something he cannot prove. Good luck with that!
BTW, it's fine to "disbelieve" there is no force behind creation of the universe and/or no existence beyond the mortal one. Stating it as fact without evidence is as unreasonable as a Televangelist declaring Jonah spent 3 days inside the belly of a whale.

It is an emotional judgement, not a scientific one, for you to believe that the RWNJs on this forum are typical "Modern conservatives" who do, indeed, display a distinct level of paranoia, schizophrenia, a shit ton of phobias and all the classiness of Irritated Bowel Syndrome.

I do not doubt that’s all you see.
In his book “1776” David McCullough wrote what made George Washington a great man: "He had the salient quality of being able to see things the way they were instead of the way he wanted them to be."
Most people see things the way they want them to be instead of the way they are. Which doesn’t make them, or you, bad. It just makes you average. Good luck with COVID!

As far as the bolded is concerned, it's been a while since the left has passed anything that works well.
Gay marriage might have been a more recent win for them, but plenty of younger conservatives had no problem with that. That was more of a generational issue than most.
Medicare for All is a terrible idea. Now, if the proposal is to convert our healthcare system into something that is more like the French system, then that would probably work.
Well it's a lot harder to pass left-wing policy in America. The Right is able to use the fear of multiracialism to get people to resist change, which is what happened with the rise of Trump. But when the Left does accomplish something, it's generally well-received. The ACA wasn't great, because Obama had to keep the Capitalists happy, but it worked pretty well and most Americans ended up embracing it.
That's part of how the Right becomes more liberal. Each generation is more liberal than the last, including among Conservatives. Younger Conservatives didn't have a problem with Catholic immigration, but that couldn't really happen until enough of the old generation died off. Then when we did let in Catholics in large numbers and the world didn't end, Catholic immigration became so normal, that's it's no longer a political issue. The exact same thing happened with gay marriage.
And like clockwork, younger Conservatives are more open to trans rights and making healthcare more affordable. Eventually, these things will happen on a large-scale, most Conservatives will decide they like them, and then they will no longer be considered political issues.
