Rightist posters, Positions and idelogy?

[538Electoral]

Obviously inspired by the leftist thread:

Talk about your political framework. So, you're a rightist. Are you a "Trumpist" or a "Never-Trumper" or perhaps not even that conservative? What defines your belief system and how far right do your beliefs go?


Talk about women's rights, minority rights, gay rights and trans rights. Are you a feminist? What are your thoughts on Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement? Do you support affirmative action? Is the gender pay gap a real problem? Do you have any thoughts on intersectionality? Are all white people subconsciously culturally racist? Can oppressed people without power be considered racist? Is cultural appropriation a bad thing and/or a problem?


Talk about "social justice warriors (SJWs)", safe spaces and trigger warnings. Are these things okay or are they too authoritarian? How much diversity and inclusion should be required as opposed to encouraged (EDIT - equality of opportunity VS equality of outcome)? If (for example) gay latinos are allowed a safe space, is it only fair that straight caucasians are provided one too? Should white people feel guilty about their privilege?


Talk about immigration, both legal and illegal. Is too much immigration disruptive to our cultural values? Should permanent residency be on the table for anybody who lives here illegally? What about DREAMers and children born here who's parents had come here illegally (which is currently legal)? What should the policies be on deportation and detention centers? How negatively would America be affected by "open borders" soft laws and loose enforcement? Should illegal immigrants receive medical care if we adopt single payer and they aren't paying in? How do we "solve" illegal immigration long-term?


Talk about America's role in the world and what it's goals should be. Should we be using the military to punish naughty governments? Should we leave the UN or work closer with them? Is our relationship with Saudi Arabia appropriate with all the unethical things they do? Is America too friendly with Israel to the point that they aliemate Palestine? Is it possuble to be against Netanyahu's Israel occupying Palestinian land without being anti-semetic? How do you feel about the BDS movement? How do you feel about free trade agreements?


Talk about climate change and the future. What level of urgency is needed and what type of plan? Do you like the idea of a Green New Deal? Would the infrastructure part of the plan be a big boost the economy? How do you feel about nuclear energy? Do you support carbon taxes and/or cap and trade systems? Should we be willing to let the economy suffer to reduce emissions?


Talk about health care and what it means to you. Is it a luxury or a human right? Do you believe in single payer? Should hospitals be privatized or public facilities? Should dental and ocular health be covered under single payer? Does having a private option (for basic care) work or ruin everything? Are "death panels" and long wait times a real issue or mostly right wing talking pointz? Do we need more government control over pharmaceutical costs?


Talk about worker's rights in America, including unions and minimum wage. Do unions in America need to focus on their members more instead of benefitting themselves? Are you pro-union? What perks would unions offer instead if single payer is implimented? How high should the minimum wage be? Should all full time workers be able to afford shelter and food? Does a high minimum wage lead to businesses leaving a country and damaging the economy?



Talk about the role of the government in providing certain things for all of it's citizens. We have roads, police, fire departments and an army, but what else should be provided? Is it moral and practical for the multi-millionaires to pay extra to ensure certain things for everyone else? Will that ruin the economy as postulated in the theory of "trickle down economics"? If taxes are raised on corporations, will they leave and damage the economy?


Talk about who you think holds the power in America. Is it the legislators? The Illuminati or some secret government (jews, extraterrestrials, the ultra-rich)?  The corporations and the oligarchs? Do politicians really represent their voters or do the donors and lobbyists call the shots in Washington and tell Pelosi and McConnell what they can and cannot do? Is government corruption fixable without a massive overhaul of the law and the establishment?


Talk about government control of our speech and bodies. Are you pro-choice or pro-life? Do you support assisted suicide? How strongly do you support free speech and where do you draw the line? What are your thoughts on making it illegal (discrimination) to use a trans person's wrong pronouns?  What are your thoughts on letting fascists speak at college campuses, providing they do not incite or promote violence? Do you think the Social Justice Warrior and Cancel Culture movements are at times too authoritarian by advocating censorship, or do you agree with the censorship?


Talk about your views on drug laws, gun laws, prostitution and the prison system. Should marijuana be decriminalized (or legalized)? Should all drugs or most be legalized or decriminalized? Are non-violent drug sentences too harsh in America? Should a citizen be allosed to own a functional army tank or nuclear warhead? Do you think there is a serious problem with the private prison industry lobbying Washington to keep prisoners flowing in and providing profits? Should a prison provide mostly punishment or mostly rehabilitation?

My takes:


Talk about your political framework. So, you're a rightist. Are you a "Trumpist" or a "Never-Trumper" or perhaps not even that conservative? What defines your belief system and how far right do your beliefs go?

I'm a Trump populist. I believe in most of Trump's policies and am an ardent supporter of him for this years election.


Talk about women's rights, minority rights, gay rights and trans rights. Are you a feminist? What are your thoughts on Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement? Do you support affirmative action? Is the gender pay gap a real problem? Do you have any thoughts on intersectionality? Are all white people subconsciously culturally racist? Can oppressed people without power be considered racist? Is cultural appropriation a bad thing and/or a problem?

I believe in equal rights for everyone but sometimes I think protests about said things can go too far. I do not support affirmative action and I don't believe the gender pay gap is that big of a problem. Of course not all whites are "subconciously culturally racist" and yes oppressed people without power can very well be racist just as anyone could. and I do in fact believe cultural appropriation is a problem.


Talk about "social justice warriors (SJWs)", safe spaces and trigger warnings. Are these things okay or are they too authoritarian? How much diversity and inclusion should be required as opposed to encouraged (EDIT - equality of opportunity VS equality of outcome)? If (for example) gay latinos are allowed a safe space, is it only fair that straight caucasians are provided one too? Should white people feel guilty about their privilege?

I think some SJW's, safe spaces and trigger warnings are too authoritarian. Not all whites have privilege and some minorities very much do. Everyone has the right to feel proud of their privilege as long as they worked hard to obtain said privilege.


Talk about immigration, both legal and illegal. Is too much immigration disruptive to our cultural values? Should permanent residency be on the table for anybody who lives here illegally? What about DREAMers and children born here who's parents had come here illegally (which is currently legal)? What should the policies be on deportation and detention centers? How negatively would America be affected by "open borders" soft laws and loose enforcement? Should illegal immigrants receive medical care if we adopt single payer and they aren't paying in? How do we "solve" illegal immigration long-term?

I'm mostly Trumpist on immigration. I do not think anyone who comes here illegally should have a path to citizenship unless they work for it. I do agree that too much immigration is bad for our culture and I do believe dreamers should be counted as illegals though the children should be allowed to stay in good foster homes and then they should be allowed to stay as adults if they can prove they won't commit crime and get a job. I like most of the current deportation laws as currently is and I believe the country would be negatively affected by open borders, soft laws and loose enforcement. We should solve illegal immigration by building a wall and leaving South and Central America.


Talk about America's role in the world and what it's goals should be. Should we be using the military to punish naughty governments? Should we leave the UN or work closer with them? Is our relationship with Saudi Arabia appropriate with all the unethical things they do? Is America too friendly with Israel to the point that they alienate Palestine? Is it possible to be against Netanyahu's Israel occupying Palestinian land without being anti-semitic? How do you feel about the BDS movement? How do you feel about free trade agreements?

Foreign policy tends to be the issue I agree with leftists on the most. Our goal should be a close partnership with everyone to make the world a better place. I think we should not use our military against anyone who doesn't attack us first. We should step down from the UN and I think we should end our partnership with Saudi Arabia. I think we are too friendly with Israel and we should admit both sides are guilty of wrongdoing and should have a two state system. It is possible to be against the Israeli government without being anti-semitic. I think BDS protesters have a good point but said protests can go too far and I think free-trade deals like NAFTA haven't done the country much good.


Talk about climate change and the future. What level of urgency is needed and what type of plan? Do you like the idea of a Green New Deal? Would the infrastructure part of the plan be a big boost the economy? How do you feel about nuclear energy? Do you support carbon taxes and/or cap and trade systems? Should we be willing to let the economy suffer to reduce emissions?

I have mixed opinions on climate change. While it's real and should be solved. I don't support carbon taxes and other things. We should not let the economy suffer to reduce emissions but look for other ways to do so instead.


Talk about health care and what it means to you. Is it a luxury or a human right? Do you believe in single payer? Should hospitals be privatized or public facilities? Should dental and ocular health be covered under single payer? Does having a private option (for basic care) work or ruin everything? Are "death panels" and long wait times a real issue or mostly right wing talking points? Do we need more government control over pharmaceutical costs?

Health care is a human right but I don't believe in single payer. Hospitals should be available to the public and I don't think dental and ocular work should be single payer. private options could be a good or bad thing depending on any number of factors. Death panels and long wait times are real issues. (I've had to wait over 5 hours to get a tooth pulled at the dentist before for instance) and governments should be allowed to control pharmaceutical costs as needed.


Talk about worker's rights in America, including unions and minimum wage. Do unions in America need to focus on their members more instead of benefitting themselves? Are you pro-union? What perks would unions offer instead if single payer is implimented? How high should the minimum wage be? Should all full time workers be able to afford shelter and food? Does a high minimum wage lead to businesses leaving a country and damaging the economy?

I am anti-union and I think the minimum wage should be about $10 or so. It being too high could well lead to business leaving.



Talk about the role of the government in providing certain things for all of it's citizens. We have roads, police, fire departments and an army, but what else should be provided? Is it moral and practical for the multi-millionaires to pay extra to ensure certain things for everyone else? Will that ruin the economy as postulated in the theory of "trickle down economics"? If taxes are raised on corporations, will they leave and damage the economy?

I think the government provides nicely as is and I'm mixed on whether it is moral and practical for billionaires and multi millionaires to pay extra. It may or may not ruin the economy and corporations may well leave if taxes are raised.


Talk about who you think holds the power in America. Is it the legislators? The Illuminati or some secret government (jews, extraterrestrials, the ultra-rich)?  The corporations and the oligarchs? Do politicians really represent their voters or do the donors and lobbyists call the shots in Washington and tell Pelosi and McConnell what they can and cannot do? Is government corruption fixable without a massive overhaul of the law and the establishment?

It could well be the Rothschilds. I'm not sure what goes on behind the scenes.


Talk about government control of our speech and bodies. Are you pro-choice or pro-life? Do you support assisted suicide? How strongly do you support free speech and where do you draw the line? What are your thoughts on making it illegal (discrimination) to use a trans person's wrong pronouns?  What are your thoughts on letting fascists speak at college campuses, providing they do not incite or promote violence? Do you think the Social Justice Warrior and Cancel Culture movements are at times too authoritarian by advocating censorship, or do you agree with the censorship?

I'm mostly pro-choice and do not support assisted suicide. I very much believe in free speech and I draw the line at speeches that threaten to hurt or kill someone. I don't have an opinion on trans person's wrong pronouns and I guess I'd be okay with letting fascists speak at campuses if they do not promote or incite violence. I think SJW's and CC's can be too authoritarian and I do not agree with their censorship.


Talk about your views on drug laws, gun laws, prostitution and the prison system. Should marijuana be decriminalized (or legalized)? Should all drugs or most be legalized or decriminalized? Are non-violent drug sentences too harsh in America? Should a citizen be allowed to own a functional army tank or nuclear warhead? Do you think there is a serious problem with the private prison industry lobbying Washington to keep prisoners flowing in and providing profits? Should a prison provide mostly punishment or mostly rehabilitation?

I think marijuana laws are up to the states and most drugs should remain illegal. I think non-violent drug sentences should be a year or less and citizens should not be allowed to own tanks or warheads obviously. I don't have an opinion of private prisons and I do believe that prisons should provide punishment to most prisoners and rehabilitation to criminals who've committed more minor crimes and drugs/alcohol.
