Most people are more concerned about not getting four more years of Joe Biden.
The primaries are over and if you don’t like the GOP pick, you can always go to an opposition site that will embrace your opinion and applaud you for being so bright.
I hear this constant howling about how this place is is decline.
Why is this?
It is always declared “in decline” if someone disagrees with the poster and argues with his opinion. That means that everyone still here is old, mean, and stupid because they don’t agree.
Your words “true believers” “primary cause/Trump supporters” exposes you as being the problem you gripe about.
If you want to oppose Trump there are places to do that. Fighting him here on this site, at this point, is kind of considered working for the other side so you are going to get a lot of flak.
The other guy being the "orange freak" as you call him?
Someone upthread mentioned there being a hard core group of #nevertrump stay behinds on this site...I guess that includes you.
RL, much of the atmosphere here is toxic. And there is an overabundance of religious threads, probably one in four.
You can find me a Larry Schweikart on Substack, where I have free writings 1x to 2x a week and higher-analysis subscription writings 1x to 2x a week. Also I have “Larry’s Commentary” which is political commentary, about 15 min MWF, at the Wild world of Politics, “Insider” subscription. (www.wildworldofpolitics.com)
BTW, with Ash Epp and Seth Keshel we will do LIVE ELECTION NIGHT STREAMING COVERAGE again this election night!
There has been a lot of back and forth On this thread. However, the one person I haven’t heard from yet is the one I really want to hear from...
Jim Robinson, the Founder of Free Republic.
If anyone’s opinions on what goes on with FR should be respected and adhered to, it is his.
Period.
If I was Jim Robinson for a day, I would borrow 2 features from Facebook - "Like" and "Block".
I've been around here long enough to avoid replying to posts from certain folks, but still some surprises.
Re: mumble bummer. +1000.
It is honor to correspond with a plank owner. I’ve seen some 98 and 99 posters, but don’t recall 97 posters..

I’m still very new here, compared to other members. Please indulge me when I suggest it might not just be this platform but also society as a whole that has deteriorated.
Just my two cents.
you forgot amen.
You are completely insane. Totally insane. Everyone, everybody can watch that clip and draw their own conclusion with as much accuracy and authority as the writer on that clip.
Why don’t you just give it up.
yes! I have a few imbeciles I avoid, and will not respond to. It sure would be easier if I did not even have to see their drivel.
and a like button would help also.
I came along a couple of years later, but you may recall that there was a point where DU was urging on their website for their trolls to sign up here and be disruptive. I think many did and the zot took care oc some of them. But, like spies trying to blend in to the public, I suspect a few of them are still here creating the chaos that is being complained of. Or maybe creating the complaints.
Either way, I am pretty sure the Trump haters do not support any conservative or even libertarian candidate. They are really all uniparty trolls since no even nose holder alternative has even been offered against the Orange Devil.
I believ you hit the nail on it’s head.
I don’t care if he pooped or didn’t poop. I wouldn’t waste a bit of time defending him.
I do know he probably pooped at some time that day. lol
Hi LS, thank you very much. I will check out those references you sent...hope all is well!
I understand your observation about the atmosphere. As I stated, I occasionally contribute to that atmosphere, though I strive not to.
I have long had a theory: “We are all Assh*les”.
I formed it while driving the roadways of this country. And it isn’t just one locality, as some here like to think. It is everywhere.
You may drive carefully and politely 98% of the time. But that one time you pull out into traffic and misjudge the speed of an oncoming car causing the driver of the other car to apply the brakes and blow their horn, you become an assh*le. If millions of people are driving their cars on the road, and everyone commits one act a day that causes a problem to someone else...then there are millions of normally good and polite people who become assh*les to others while driving their cars around each day.
Same dynamic here.
At your service! :-)
