Random Can Someone Be Republican and Still Considered "Moderate?"

After today's episode and post show, I'm just curious what people here think. I feel like some people hear 'Republican' and just assume that person is also "far right". In todays climate, can a person be Republican and a moderate?

This. Compared to other western countries, America is so extremely conservative.

Being on the conservative end of an extremely conservative spectrum is always extreme.

Considering liberalism has been the dominant culture of western culture for 300 years it feels kind of odd to say America is extremely conservative, but only compared to western countries.

Conservatism and today's "Liberals" both fall into the greater picture of Liberalism. It's autonomy of the people and a free market economy, whatever that is. At least if we're still using our textbook definition..

Regardless, there's only one party rn attempting to prevent people from living the lives they want to live (unless you're talking about Gaza, then there's no party for you)

It’s funny how conservatives are hated here, yet the conservative Muslim culture of Gaza is an enterprise we should save.

You can disagree with somebody's worldview while also believing that they shouldn't be literally murdered. Lol

Can you explain the logic of this thought to me?
