Former president George H. W. Bush died

And I myself lean more towards conservatism, but I don't let that define every single one of my beliefs or whom I'll associate with, and am perfectly open to seeing what people believe and why they believe them, and weigh that against my own beliefs. People who define themselves by their politics, however, can and will start a flame war, even if there is only one of said type of person in a chat. And in that case, it's best to just ignore them, as it's nigh-impossible to sway someone who takes such a wishy-washy field as an objective indicator of "absolute good" or "absolute evil." Anyways, there doesn't really seem to be anyone like that here.
