on Politically homeless? {Where do you think your political beliefs best align?} in politics

You have an understandable feeling. The first election I ever voted in was for Ross Perot in 1992. It seemed like we are on the cusp of some big third party breakouts but it was downhill from there. I have mostly voted GOP with some other exceptions like Ron Paul. At the State level here in California it was straight CA GOP. The reason for that was because I am kinda "right wingy" but also because I have just watched the CA DNC accumulate more and more power and the only actual opposition party, as weak and feckless as it is, is the CA GOP.  I would point out that back in 1992 I was in the National Guard and living in Long Beach. The Republican governor moved swiftly on the first day of the LA Riots and within a few hours I was at the armory..eventually running around Compton with a M16 and a few other places. Flash forward a few decades during BLMtifa and watching DNC Governors just let their cities burn.  Politics sucks and is sleazy and usual just damage control. My dad had it worse. He was born in Berlin in 1928, German Dad and a Polish Mom. By 1945 he found himself smack dab at the center of a collapsing short lived Empire with like 3 other Empires trying to kill him. His dad did not survive the war.

on My unfiltered thoughts as a Christian former Trump supporter in uspolitics

I am not buying it. The "Christian" president we had in 2000 seemed far worse. So much so that even I did not vote for him the second time in 2004....not that I voted Democrat. We all remember the prayer meetings while deciding to invade Iraq. The swamp is full of sleaze..always has been, always will be. Do not look for perfection, you will not find it. So far I have no regrets for voting for Trump. For Goodness Sake...those of living in the SF Bay Area have had to gaze at the sleaze and stupidity of Harris for decades. As far as the apocalyptic predictions..give it a rest.  You can infer anything you want. My dad was born in Berlin in 1928...got thrown into the Battle of Berlin when he was 17. German dad, Polish mom...neither of which joined "The Party" but it is not like Weimar Berlin was running on all cylinders. For my dad and his family WW2 was the apocalypse....just not THE APOCALYPSE.  That will happen when it happens and it might be thousand of years from now. I think what has happened is we are so used to losing it is hard to ever accept that there is even a little bit of winning. It is good to be skeptical but won't we don't need are peeps deflating everyone out of a purity test, killing the energy of the America First movement.
