Yes I am.

Agreed.

This is where you go off the rails, and with Kingsley's letter...you're not alone. The correct analogy is one of political party affiliation. I'm a conservative. I want good outcomes for our nation probably similar to most liberals. But I'm used to being told by liberals that what I really want is to starve children by canceling school lunches and lynch people of color because conservatism is really just all about racism.
When you call my participation in a democratic process (joining the DPA) "like moving to Iran", it's the same eye rolling level of hyperbole most conservatives have become accustomed to. It doesn't move the ball at all, and it never will.
