Where did I say Tulsi was a Southern Democrat? She’s probably like the few remaining fiscal conservatives like Cheney, Romney, or McCain.
To so vehemently stand against progressive policies is to stand against traditional conservatism. To my knowledge, Gabbard does not. She does see identify politics as a problem and making sure progressive policies do not diminish the individual or give more authority to federal of global policies. She didn’t jump on the abortion and anti-trans agenda like the new Republicans have. Even the moderate Republicans understand that banning abortion completely was a mistake, and allowed for exceptions. My vote is with them, not these extremist fringe ignorant republicans who wouldn’t know the difference between a cervix or an ovary.
A lot of modern Republicans are against progressive polices much in the same but way Southern Democrats were from 150 years ago. And they make the same arguments for states rights and religious freedoms that the Klan did. That’s why it’s so important for liberal Republicans, their voters, and media to remind us that Democrats were for slavery, segregation, and keeping immigrants out at all cost etc. but their policies today do not reflect that at all. Modern Republicans policies on the other hand…
