It's silly to say their ideology is in the center, but they're not shackled to partisanship in the way that you are.
I’m hardly shackled. I don’t always vote “R”. I’ve voted “I” several times. I actually strongly argued AGAINST Trump before his election. There were several candidates I preferred. This isn’t about political dogma in every respect for me. It’s about truth, reality, and moving forward in the best way possible.
Than I don't really know what your issue would be with protestors. If you're truly independent and not wanting it to be about parties, I'd think you'd find a lot of common ground with the person who wants both Trump and de Blasio to pack their bags. That person at least has shown they're willing to call out their own.
I have zero issue with Trump not being President. I don’t love him at all. I like him a million times better than anybody the Dems have paraded around over the last year. And he’s infinitely better than Biden. But there are plenty of people I’d much rather have the job.

I’m a supporter for sure. That doesn’t mean I condone or believe all his rhetoric. It means I think he’s better than anything the left has to offer, and there are no other viable choices.
So which is it? Sounds like you have at least one issue.

It's clearly not true that PhatJ has any serious issue with Trump being president. At least he hasn't shown that.

Imagine ascribing any positive qualities to a man like Donald Trump, let alone making the sweeping declaration that an entire political demographic cannot possibly rise above the sheer perfection that is Trump.

Also being pro-Israel is bad. Encouraging Bibi's settler state is probably one of the most ethically repugnant things Trump has done.

Yup. It is ethically repugnant in a time when you can get away with it.

Id rather many other republicans be president than Trump. I’d rather Trump than any of the potential Dems. Is that easy enough for you to understand?

So it IS political dogma, then. Since you’ll never vote democrat.

I think we're sad that you still love Trump enough to vote for him. Especially as you put it, you have been known to vote independent. If you hate the two party system, perhaps your vote could be utilized in a ....manner in which i approve ;)

Didn’t say that. And I have voted Dem before. I said Trump is better than anything the Dems are offering at this point. But there are absolutely Republicans and independents I’d prefer.

You mean the economy that he promised wouldn’t recover when he left office. The one he admitted was a mess and said Trump didn’t have a magic wand to fix?
