Followup


The topics that dominated conversation the past month or so have been:
presidential race
gun control/Orlando
transgender issues
Brexit

I would have put myself in the L camp because I tended to agree with the L's on most of these, though historically I vote R.

So the camps may split a little differently this month than they would in a normal election year. There are non-partisan reasons to hate both Clinton and Trump, and the other three issues do not split across standard lines except gun control (though there is 'softness' amongst the R's on this board on that topic).

One of the features of this board is that not a lot of time is spent piling on one-sided debates. So sometimes the 'camp' you are perceived to be in may be no more than that you hate Hillary more than you fear Trump, or that you hold 2A to be sacred vs. thinking a national gun registry is overdue, or think transgenders are mentally ill or normal, or think Orlando was about Islamic radicalism or gun control, and those were the topics this month
