Conservative Politics - Civil Discourse Only [CLOSED]

1

With my previous attempt at civil discourse pertaining to the political landscape in this Nation failing miserably, mostly due to a small handful of troublemakers, and with the previous thread nearing 20k posts (at which point it will be auto-closed - thanks to @ThunderThighs for the heads up) we’re going to try something new.

As much as I despise the concept of so-called “safe spaces” - the liberals already have a “safe space” of their own that they refuse to participate in (here) - that place is a ghost town with only one (maybe two?) participants. No… they would rather come to my threads - me, someone who most of them have on their “Ignore” lists - and bully and harass every single Conservative who even DARES to post in my threads, to the point that not a single one ever hangs around. Not that I blame them in the least. So much for love and unity and “tolerance,” amirite?

Anyway… long story short (yeah, I know, too late for that…)

This thread is designated as a Conservative haven. As such, I don’t expect much traffic - diversity of thought is, after all, a hallmark of a civilized society. But… Woot needs somewhere to send it’s trouble makers - myself included. So… There are now TWO Politics threads.

Choose…

Hating the concept of safe places yet making your own was the laugh I needed for today.

But seriously – you do you. I hope this safe place is indeed exactly that for your group.

Because you all have been SO loving towards “magats” as you like to call us. Get off your holier-than-thou cloud. Do not attack people and expect us to not reply in kind.

Not mocking. Pointing out fact.

Not accusing. Stating it outright. The evidence is right there in the previous threads for all to see.

Again. Not implying. Stating it plainly, outright. Again. The evidence is there in the previous threads for all to see.

This is a new thread. If you want to start out fresh, on new ground… great. If not, I meant every word I said.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up accurately what’s going on.

Nothing wrong with an accurate portrait of the facts.

If that’s demeaning, that’s on you. You know I like hanging out with you and you’ve got a great sense of humor. I mean that bro.

Honestly whatever and their 10 different profiles is the reason I stopped posting on the other.
It’s like a kindergarten crush that kicks your chair when you pass them.

Every single I posted ANYTHING, it was like flies on food outside on a hot humid day.

Some words, yes. I just leave out vowels. It gets the point across and bypasses the Woot Nanny State regulations.

HOPEFULLY this thread will be different :crossed_fingers: but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
