Except it's not fine. Social media proved an effective propoganda tool last time around. I haven't seen any mass Exodus from it, the most avid Facebook users I know are conservative nutters.

When I say that's fine. I mean it's fine for you to have your opinion. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. I don't know what it is based on or anything else.

There is no mass exodus. Not that I've seen. I can say that I live in a place where you can take a needle on the street and put a blue D in front of it and it would beat the most left leaning independent. I quit facebook ( I checked it like once a week to check on relatives) I was bombarded by crazy shit from my left wing family and friends. So my experience with facebook is it's a bunch of socialist nutjobs.

I have to eat. Have a nice evening.

Oh, People need to grow a fuckin skin

Interesting comment you made about being "bombarded by "crazy shit"? from my left wing family and friends."

I too used to have a Facebook acc't and got bombarded by "crazy shit" but it was from my right wing friends and came to the same conclusion you did only it was those conservative nutjobs that did it for me.

My left wing friends didn't post anything or hardly anything political at all. They posted the usual family oriented stuff, hobbies and at my age, talk of health related things dominated the exchanges.

edit - I never really took notice of that last notion I mentioned, but now I'm wondering why.

What he doesn't realize is that he's the crazy relative that everyone can barely stand. If his relatives were indeed posting "crazy" stuff (something I don't believe because righties have a habit of making up their own reality), they were probably doing it to show him how far gone he was. That "crazy" shit was probably facts and reality but to a righty you might as well be from Mars.

I am tolerant, believe me.. But tolerance is seen as weakness to exploit by many..

I have a very good friend who is also a Trump loyalist. He expressed that same exasperation he felt when most everyone he engages in political discussions with (including me) as to why most anyone he talks to thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with him that he thinks Trump is a really effective president that is doing great things for the country. He is very disappointed that his own wife (a retired higher math prof) and daughter (psychiatrist) tried to convince him why he was wrong to think that way. I pressed him once and asked him what specific things Trump has done that has personally benefited him in a significant kind of way and that's when he accused me of arguing semantics. lol

Agreed. And it's sad that there are folks who would operate that way. It spans the gamut of being exploited from "oh uhhh could you do this little favor me" (over and over again) yet when asking that person for a favor they act as if they hardly know you and they're going wayyyy out of their way to accommodate but "well OK".......to "hey look, you're a really cool guy and all so I was wondering if you could step out of the way so I can get that promotion we're both trying for because my wife's expecting soon, I'm back on my rent blah blah blah"......

According to Pcgeek if a country has a single resident of a different ethnic group then disparaging someone based on their national origin isn’t racist.

So by this logic if you say ‘I hate African-Americans’ you’re not racist because some people from Africa are white.

I’m not kidding. He really made this argument.

Not kidding, no I didn't.

Dude, still waiting so we can have your answer on the record...


Trump saying a federal judge is incapable of doing his job because he is Mexican from your point of view is not racist?

I'll just stick to this one thing.


In his opinion it was a conflict of interest involved in that case.

Two things

1. That is not what he said. You are lying for him. Nice job.

2. So we have on the record, Trump has not done anything racist since taking office, not even using ethnicity to question a federal judges fitness for office.

Primary definition of racism of most sources.
"Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. "

This tells us everything people need to know about your predilections for racism.

I think one of the most interesting parallels between Nazism and Trump is that in the 1930's establishment conservatives in Germany viewed Hitler as a buffoon, but one they could control. They hated the liberals so much and were so afraid of them coming to power that they figured he was worth it.

Sounds awfully familiar.

There are two reasons I wouldn't want to push the parallels too far.

One is that history never really repeats itself, the conditions are always changing.

And the other is that I've known too many people (most of them now no longer with us) who were anticipating the 'new 1930s' (and the final showdown between socialism and barbarism, I guess a bit like that between neo and Agent Smith? ) since at least the late 1940s. They'd have loved Trump, to them he'd be a like a harbinger of the End Times and the inevitable socialist Rapture.

However, what you say does bring to mind the relationship between Trumpery and the Koch Brothers. I mean, they spent an ill-gotten fortune trying to create a movement to shift the political landscape in a callous mad-libertarian direction, and some of that probably helped produce Trumpery.

But when their ideology met reality, it's not so much that 'reality won', as that their ideology and reality shagged each other and produced a bastard chimera that doesn't look much like either of its parents.

It _is_ a little bit similar to the industrialists and aristocrats who thought they could use Hitler and got something that didn't go according to plan. It's different in that the Kochs never directly supported or funded Trump, indeed I think they never could stand him, they just inadvertently helped create the climate that produced him.

@Starbuck1975 you can give me all the downvotes you want. It wont change my ratio at all because you are in the minority. Sucks being a minority doesnt it?
Poor baby, always whining about downvotes. Unlike you, I don’t care about profile ratings. Only insecure posters do. Enjoy your safe space rating privilege, snowflake.

For someone who doesn’t care you seem be highly retaliatory in how you leave them.

Guess you do care even if you won’t be honest enough to own it.
