Leftists are the crazy people who follow AOC and her "squad" of nutcases, Buttigieg, that crazy mayor in Chicago, etc., who are determined to ruin this country. There is absolutely nothing they say or believe that is helpful to this country and it's people. 

For the first time in his life my FIL has no idea who he will vote for. He's finally realized the leftists have hijacked the Democratic party and he will have no part of advancing their idiocy. A lot of Republicans feel the same about the far right Trump humpers who have hijacked their party. 

As a Libertarian I never have someone to vote for who can actually win and do something. If DeSantis ever runs for higher office he will likely have my vote, otherwise I'm not sure who will get it.

I hear you loud and clear. You have never been one of the people I worry about around these parts.  I know your opinions aren't extreme and I know you prefer getting along to violence.
