Hi everyone this is my first post on this site. Just a quick background of me I have been politically influenced because I lived in California growing up then moved to Ohio and will soon be going to the University of Oregon. I'm more progressive/liberal on social issues because I support gay rights, believe in climate change, support of public education, and Asian Awareness stuff. But I'm more conservative on 2A where I'll defend your right to own a gun, but personally won't own one, I'm Pro-Life but will make the exception to cases of rape, incest, and underage pregnancies, and now I'm anti-war bring our troops home. This is the first election cycle where I'll be able to vote. In the primary cycle, I was a Tulsi supporter because I felt like she had a good message. But what got me off the fence as a moderate was that the democratic party went so far to the left in such a short time that felt politically homeless. When I look to the left with a lot of my "friends" just pushing woke left trash that is regurgitated posts on Instagram where they only cite the ACLU and Feminist Instagram pages. And when I challenge their idea they call me racist, sexist, etc. Then when I look to Trump supporters they can actually have a rational conversation where I can change my mind on many issues. But what got me to "jump off the fence" was when my friend said that I should vote Biden because I'm Asian after I posted a Free Hong Kong post. And I got fed up and said that I'm not the Democrat's pet and I don't need a white liberal telling me what to do. Even though I disagree with Trump on some issues I fully support him now. Thank you if you read this post and look forward to having some political conversations.
