I miss republicans.

I saw that article a while ago, and strangely enough, said something like that just the other day.
Those guys were my dad.
I remember the arguments we had, 3 teenagers in the 70s/early 80s who thought they knew everything, vs him.
Never about religion or social mores, always about the line between government and free enterprise, about the war, and US foreign policy, about freedom vis a vis equality.
Those are the discussions I want to have with people from the other side.
Not about creationism in schools, or why defending white supremacist is OK now, or the “real America”. No “leftists hate America”, or “right wingers are evil fools”
Honest arguments on differences that actually take having a world view that has been thought through.
Real opinions or real matters that count.
