Look at who is today defining and manipulating public opinion -- it is the media, Hollywood, the deep state, and the Democrats.
Of course, no two people are identical, we have DNA do we not? But the LEFT you are apart of is characterized by a hatred of Trump, and look at what happens when someone like Kanye decides to differ. Look at how Omarosa is now their heroine. The media defines people -- loving or hating them -- by their connection with Trump.
You are doing the same with me. You are unable to objectively discuss the facts of issues, rather you espouse the media line wholeheartedly. Case in point was Charlottesville. You joined the media craze in deciding that Trump and all his supporters are affirmed racists, nazis, bigots, supremacists, KKK, etc. You have no evidence of this -- but neither do you need it -- because you just swallow the media message without discernment. Apparently you lost all your discernment when you left the faith -- yet you condemn all others like me for what you do. Romans 2.1
Look at how many Dems and Repubs have flipped their position just in the last decade in order to support Obama Progressivism and oppose Trump. At one time many supported secure borders, wanted a wall, opposed gay marriage, opposed abortion, supported marriage, embassy in Jerusalem, strong military, support for police, support for ICE, etc ... the list goes on and on.
You many say that there is diversity on both sides, but on major issues the Left are like lemmings headed towards the cliff. To be a conservative today often one must be willing to be an outcast from their own society.

Well I'm happy to learn that you're not a Theocrat. Cuz I was under the impression that you voted for Donald Trump mainly because in order to get elected he said he would nominate judges and support legislation favored by your brand of Christianity including discriminating against lgbtq people, ending women's right to choose to have abortions, and widespread repression of non-believers. That sounds like a Theocratic legislative and judicial agenda to me. If you weren't a blind partisan you would see that both sides of the political spectrum are manipulating public opinion. It's ironic to me that you accuse me of being unable to objectively discuss facts because when I post facts you don't respond. You just skip over those posts. Like when I showed that the right-wing extremists have committed far more violence than antifa. You just ignored the post. Oh by the way that lemmings story that you used as a metaphor is fake news.
Lemmings have become the subject of a widely popular misconception that they commit mass suicide when they migrate by jumping off cliffs. This urban myth became widespread after this behavior was shown in the Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness (film) in 1958. However, the animals in the film are not wild animals jumping off the cliff voluntarily, rather they were bought by the producers and pushed over the edge of the cliff. Instead of suicidal behavior, what explains the drastic fluctuations in population size are environmental factors such as whether the right kind of snow is available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming#Misconceptions If it were true you would be a lemming living in a glass house throwing a stone.
