I do not support the new direction of the "America First" movement. The Nazi Germany like foreign policy of invading and conquering countries around the world, to steal resources, and in Trump's case, to make big corporations richer and abandoning regular citizens, is not what Conservative values are about.

Conservatism is about putting an end to decades of endless wars, engaging in diplomacy and respecting international laws and defending ourselves when we are attacked or if we have evidence that we're about to be attacked, it's peace through strength, Conservativism is about putting an end to the Neo con ideology of nation building and illegal occupations.

Conservativism is about caring for your fellow Americans, keeping Government out of your front yard, keeping it small, so small that you can't even tell it exists, and embracing a Christian way of life of morals.

The new direction of 'America First' is no longer aimed to see regular citizens prosper or international peace, 'America First' is now aimed to enrich oil executives and embracing the Bush/Cheney doctrine of endless wars.

The new 'America First' Policies, especially in foreign policy, is now all about catering to Trump's ego and his rich Corporate friends.

This, is something that I cannot support, President Trump and his Regime, are corporate snakes and this new 'America First', will never align to my Conservative values.

Dominicane Look. I get your stance regarding Conservatism. But the GOP and Republican values are not mutually exclusive to Christianity. Especially the Far-right version of Jesus teachings. This country doesn't need some regressive puritanical dogma and government trying to legislate morality is nothing more than fascism masquerading as righteousness. You post Reagan but even he knew his party was being highjacked by extremists but tried to hold the middle ground. Keep the faith brother, but don't force that faith on others who may respectfully disagree.

Lately, When I express my genuine thoughts and concerns, it feels like a form of punishment.

This happens both at work, in meetings where input is supposedly valued, and in my personal life. My attempts to voice a concern or a different perspective are often dismissed as pessimism, exaggeration, or even egomania. It seems I am being penalized simply for having an opinion and for caring enough to be concerned.

Increasingly, I feel that I am being passively silenced—not with a direct command, but with subtle cues and reactions that make thinking feel like a forbidden act. I am being reduced to a sounding board, a wall for others to shout at, with no expectation of a reciprocal conversation. My role is not to contribute, but to absorb.

And then, people wonder. They wonder why I am burning out, why my energy and creativity have evaporated, why my motivation has dwindled to nothing. They don't see the cumulative weight of being silenced.
I notice that the situation is gradually affecting my body. I currently only sleep with a tight chest and painful breathing, and I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing.

i too was valued at some point

You have value,remember that.

So I do not know who this is going to resonate with but I figured what the hell. You will NEVER be good enough for some people.you will NEVER be wanted by some people,you will NEVER be loved by some people, you will never be accepted by some people, you will NEVER be seen by some people and quite honestly that is just fine. That is THEIR problem,NOT yours. When people make you feel small and insignificant those are not your people, that is not your crowd. You have value, you have worth and you matter and their thoughts on who they believe you are or expect you to be is bullshit. Live your life to be happy,not to fit in so the wrong people love and accept you.

Video games that I would consider my favorite. I had to think long and hard for this one. Some are ones that I play currently, some might be from when I was a young teen, some of them are of sentimental value to me, some are childhood favorites, etc. The very first one listed is MY all time favorite video game. If you have any questions about why I like(d) them or what I think of other games, ask.

Now that Trump will be back at the wheel, it's time to get back to good old fashioned family values, the likes you would find in a 1950's or early 60's sitcom. With JD Vance as his wingman and his Catholic goon squad legislating morality in the Supreme Court, it shouldn't take long to abolish all debauchery, sin, drugs, and just fun of any kind.
