I think you all would agree.
As I wrote elsewhere:
It’s kinda amazing that the Deep State can ring a bell and we salivate like a Pavlovian dog.
You think we’d know better by now.
Elon and Vivek said their piece, and were rebuked.
They lack the perspective of the natural Born citizen.
A repeated lie often overcomes the truth.
but
the opposite is also true. Repeated truth often overcomes lies.
The point being that those that understand your point, need to step up with more rational thought posts and gentle/humorous challenges to those that need it.
We lead by example.
100%!
On a conservative site, individual people should be able to tone down their political rhetoric, not ramp it up, argue logically, and not need excessive admin moderation.
The mean and nasty are a comin’ for ya. Ya traitor!
just kidding 😉😉
I am a numbers guy and I would like FR to be discussing the merits of this post. Are these numbers accurate or biased?

Excellent post…
I’m interested being the only white person in a team of H1Bs from India.
My situation is tenuous and it shouldn’t be.
They are a cabal. They look out for themselves.
They put their visas above performance!!!!!!!!
I try not to get into arguments on anything. I just accept that some people are argumentative and move on.............
Something like that.
I have noticed an increase in name calling and personal attacks lately, but only from a few.
bttt
Ukraine/Russia. Trump/DeSantis. Less Filling/Tastes Great.
Stop it.
This type of upchuck makes you look stupid.
(A return to mean?)
Folks have strong opinions on lots of stuff. They do not agree on the benefits/harm ratios.
We are not “one family”. We are Individuals, with loyalties and prejudices.
Info sources that flat out lie to the people are part of it. Lies by omission or lies by false data have been the norm.
Finding those items we all agree on is tough work. But sometimes, magic happens.
MAHA can’t be honestly argued against. Clean, safe, toxic free food? Healthy lifestyles? Defeating crony biz/gov cartels? All good things.
Deep thanks on this thread.
I have a big problem with personal attacks. Much as I’ve enjoyed FR and the tree house, the nastiness is overwhelming now.
We survived those terrible Clinton years and Obama years and Biden years, and I’ve been so much looking forward to exulting over Trump’s return and every historical event that will be pulling our society back from the brink of destruction. But instead of joy at his imminent return, it’s soul destroying vitriol aimed at one another. And it makes no sense. We’re all on the same side. We just differ in details.
We’re not in Europe murdering one another over religion minutae. We’re in the best country about to have the best president and life now is about hope, not despair.
I largely agree. I have generally not waded in on this. But I feel that the Left/Deep State saw an opening for division, exploited it fully, and set us on each other.
If you are just now noticing, you haven’t been watching the Ukraine war threads.
If by "of late" you mean "starting about 25 years ago," then I'd have to agree with you.
Correct.
The H1b Visa thing is real and medium sized. The Deep State would love us to have a civil war over it in order to split us irretrievably.
Don’t let them have it. We can disagree, and set aside this one issue while we:
DESTROY THE DEEP STATE
CLOSE THE BORDER
EJECT LAWBREAKERS
ENFORCE THE LAW
DESTROY DEI
CUT SPENDING
CUT TAXES
GET OUT OF UKRAINE
And a hundred other things that matter more than H1b visas.
