I made the mistake of opening the thread expecting to see a bunch of conservatives having a discussion. Instead, I see a bunch of 1st grade playground bickering no doubt egged on by at least a couple of professional provocateurs.
The addition of professional sports to the everyday lives of Americans was one of the most insidious methods of subversion because now most people approach any subject like pro sports fandom: “I arbitrarily chose a sportsball team to call ‘mine’ and now I defend that team and spit on all others for no logical reason other than to scratch my tribal itch like a damn caveman.”
Gov DeSantiss is my gov and has been awesome especially after Ian. I do like how he handles his press conferences. I didn’t see the exchange regarding this issue, but since this early I’ve grown reservations about certain aspects of his character.
Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit had an especially damning article May 11th that raised serious allegations about one of his pacs. He has never denounced the article and has yet to respond to my letter regarding it. I’m also upset that he has accepted the support of GOP establishment like the Bush family , Paul Ryan etc.,
Full disclosure, I’m a a Trump supporter and America First voter. And yes, there seems to be an extensive amount of insults, name calling, fight picking just to score points for ones side. I myself have been called a Trump cultist and nearly had to report one poster to moderators for harassment. Sad isn’t it.
Fair enough. But if you wade through these discussions you’ll find that many (not all) of the posters have reasons for why they support one candidate over another. In some instances the reasons are disingenuous and nothing more than an excuse to mask a personal like or dislike for one of the candidates. But in many, maybe even most cases, the strong feelings are based on some degree of reasoned reflection.
The issues matter, so emotions can run high, and articulating the reasons you support one candidate over another is not always easy. And often we’ve had these same discussions with one another on other threads, so there’s the personal frustration that comes from repeatedly clashing with certain individuals and seemingly making little headway.
