I was born a poor Black Child... Nah, just kidding, I'm White but grew up poor. Born in 1960. My Father worked as a dairy farmer, my Mother didn't work. I'm the youngest of 4 boys. In 1970 my Father had a heart attack and was disabled and could no longer work. My Mother picked up a job picking mushrooms (no shit) part time because she still had to care for my Father, Brothers and me. We got Gov. Assistance, food stamps, no cash benefits. That was back when you had to go to the welfare office to pick up your food stamps, then go to the distribution center for your Gub'ment cheese. (2 lb block) and powdered milk, canned shredded chicken and pork. I realized years later that my mother was an awesome cook because the meals she was able to pull out of that shit were amazing. Because we were on welfare we got lunch tokens for school lunch. Being 10 years old and wearing hand me downs was bad enough but then they called you out into the hall to receive your token, and every kid in class knew who the welfare kid was. I got into a lot of fights. This lasted until I quit school at 16 and my Parents signed off for me to enlist. I left 3 months later when I turned 17. And although those years were pretty bad, I look back and am thankful that we had what we had. Politically, I'm a Conservative. Small Government and personal responsibility is high on my list. That being said, I realize, through my own experiences that Government assistance is important and that people who need it should have access to it. What I don't approve of is generations on assistance. Kids, teaching their kids, teaching their kids how to scam the system. The system itself, makes it difficult to get off of assistance. We need reform. I voted for Trump. He wasn't my first choice, I was leaning toward Johnson and being a Vet, couldn't vote for that lying whore of a dog Clinton and Sanders was to far left. Johnson was a flake. Unprepared in the debates. Clueless. Stein? Nah. That Left Trump. Hey, I voted for Reagan so... I'm am pleasantly surprised at trump. He is pretty much upholding his campaign promises despite the push back for the RINOs and the deceitful media. I expect to vote for him again in the upcoming Presidential Election. Democrats have no one.
Oh yeah, I'm married and have three girls. 32, 20 and 18. I also own several handguns and am licensed for concealed carry. My oldest carries also and so will my two youngest when they turn 21. They will not become victims. I also like cats, I have one. His name is Stoopid. I Kayak fish, mostly salt water, Striper, Flounder, Black Sea Bass and Tautog. Long walks on the beach and holding hands, quiet moonlight dinners and snuggling.

Innvertigo said: I'm a 35 year old white male (German/Italian/English). I'm a traditional Libertarian, though I haven't always been a Libertarian, I used to be a conservative in the 90's. Well I was a conservative as far as the definition describes and not what it is today. I'm not a lover of the left/democrat philosophy and up until our current president I'm no lover of the Republicans neither. I'm not a very compassionate person towards people who can do things but won't for any reason. I've been interested in politics since I was 21 and have voted in every election since I was 18, however I don't normally vote in local elections.
As far as education goes I have a BS in Architecture and an MBA from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!)with a concentration is Human Resources. I work as an Architect at a large company and actually enjoy it. I've lived in Michigan my entire life with the exception of my military service where I lived in Washington and Oklahoma. I have a wife and no kids but she's expecting our fist child soon.
I am heavily into sports, Hockey, Football (American), snowboarding, hunting and fishing. I love snowboarding since I was about 18 though I don't do half as many tricks as I used to. I used to be on this site quite a bit but now my work only allows me a few posts a day. I've been hunting since I was 13 and been fishing all of my life.
My turn ons are puppies, kittens and walks on the beach Turn offs: liberals, Birkenstock sandals and vegetarians
Where did you go mate?
I was reading random posts from way back and I ended up reading a bunch of your political posts.
What do you think of politics today?

Waiting for the newbies, like you, to post about yourself.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Lets to a small negromancy with this post:
Male 29 years Old Spanish, part castillian, part basque and part andalusie that for some reason is the part blonde with blue eyes. Studied Mechanical engineering, ended up as a software developer. However i spent most of my teenage years having problems with authority, now that i earn enough is different i guess. I prefer to avoid labels, but since everyone is labeling themselves: I am kinda far-left oriented more into the anarchist side that the socialist one.

born in the UK, immigrant parents father from Netherlands and Mother from Turkey, currently studying in college. I think maybe names/labels are not such a good thing but maybe they are convenient in this case so, i guess i could be called anarchist communalist idealist. I think revolutions are always called too late and by then it is already too late. My turkish background leads me to be quite into kurdish communism but I don't believe in the eventual dissolution of power. Socialism although less idealistic is simply a convenience escape to what is necessary. I think regulation is no means to solve any problems. Regulation shouldn't be necessary there shouldn't have been an opportunity in the first place for corporations to become so expansive, which is the reason why 'regulation' was invented. People talk about separation of powers as if they balance things out now that is abused powers learn to take shots from each other and will find infinite ingenious ways to exploit each other for them eventually leading to a champion. We are well on our way to finding out who the champion will be and we are narrowed down to only to less than a hundred competitors likely of winning at this stage. We have come to the point where there is no more rooms on the final battling ground of the giants, and hopefully by then all our problems will be solved by war.

35, Male, Utah.
Republican Mormon until 2008.
Ex-Mormon liberal until about 2015.
Centrist/Libertarian since then. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
The reason I left the left was because I realized they're as religious as religious people are, just without the religion. In our modern climate, the political left is the party of censorship, cancel culture, heretics, heresy, dogma, heathens and apostates, etc...
I never thought I'd see the day where the party of censorship wasn't religious republicans but liberal leftists, but here we are.
My biggest platform is anti censorship and the exposure of what is truthful and real. Psychedelics help bring me here.
Yoroshiku.

I am a skunk. I live deep in the forest. My age is indeterminate—we skunks don’t keep track of that sort of thing. I can say that I’m old enough to have forgotten most of my early skunk childhood, but not so old yet that it has all started coming back to me. I grew up in a comfortable burrow beneath a knoll located in a wildflower be-speckled clearing. At the time, it was considered one of the nicer parts of the forest.
My mother and father were staunch supporters of the Raccoon party. Raccoons pretty much ran the show for most of my life. The Deer are now in charge. Neither the Raccoons nor the Deer do what actually needs to be done, and on this point most woodland creatures can agree. Our bipartisan system is beginning to show cracks. I’ve met rabbits who are pro-hawk, a bear who expressed sport hunter sympathies, and squirrels and chipmunks who have banded together into a formidable Green/Marxist bloc.
I’m registered as a supporter of the Deer, although, my ideological affiliation most closely coincides with the chipmunks and squirrels. It is apparent to most animals that both the Deer and the Raccoons are in the pocket of Big Human. Our forest is beset on all sides by the steady creep of urban development (my aforementioned childhood knoll is now a retail center parking lot). The Raccoons claim the human problem is simultaneously nonexistent and that it will solve itself; the Deer believe we still have plenty of time to engineer a solution to force the humans to relent.
We all go about our business as if no great change is afoot: we dig for insects, we munch the grass and herbaceous plants, we drink from the burbling stream. The gentle stirring of the wilderness lulls us into a placid forgetfulness, a bucolic reverie that is only dispelled by fluke currents that snatch up and deliver into the forest’s midst some singular, noisome moment of human tumult. All animals awaken then to the reality of a situation in process, each of us equally cognizant of the revolutionary pulse underscoring the static quietude of the wild.

Yeah, white men are having to face consequences for their offensive remarks and abhorrent actions for basically the first time in history...and we can't have that. Totally unacceptable.
It's not cancel culture, it's consequences culture. You are entitled to your opinions, but you have to accept the consequences that come with them.
The days of white men being able to say and do whatever they want free from fallout are coming to an end...thank fucking god.
And all the "censorship" the right is complaining about isn't coming from the government or democratic politicians, it's being done by private citizens and private corporations. They are exercising THEIR constitutional rights.
Meanwhile LEO and their militia buddies and harassing, beating, and jailing reporters and covering it up...actually violating the 1st amendment, but let's not focus on that.
I mean...the left has its own set of values and ideals, just without the imaginary man in the sky? Is that what you are saying? How unbelievable....
