How do you all do it???

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Therein lies your problem - you still assume it's worth saving, or that all of us even want to save it.

I do not want to share a nation with people who have demonized me as a racist and a Nazi for daring to have a differing opinion.
I do not want to share a nation with people who weaponize the DOJ against their political opponents.
I do not want to share a nation with people who support and condone riots which destroy lives and livelihoods.
I do not want to share a nation with people who demand mob justice and kangaroo courts.
I do not want to share a nation with people who wish to treat concerned parents as domestic terrorists.
I do not want to share a nation with people who seek to corrupt innocent children with their deviant, sexual perversions.
I do not want to share a nation with people who butcher babies in the womb.
I do not want to share a nation with people who vilify righteousness and venerate criminality.

There is no longer any middle ground to be had. I will not compromise on my principles. These people are not my countrymen, they are my enemies. I want nothing to do with them and I will reciprocate every aspersion they cast until this country inevitably splits up and we go our separate ways.

It's time for a divorce.

I remember joining this forum and it was political bickering over policy and ideas with a bit of "racism" or "sjw shit" mixed in here or there.

Now about 9 years later and it's just hate and anger in every thread. We have lost focus on the things that matter and that isn't unique to USMB.
Families are breaking apart, friendships are lost and all for what?

We all want the same basic things.
Happiness
Personal success
The best for our kids/grandkids
Politicians that respect us
Safety

Those are the things that should bind us together, not the latest green policy or voter ID law. Those things are perhipial and unrelated to the list above.
There is not a person on this forum I couldn't sit and have a drink with. NOT ONE. There is common ground to be found if you want to find it. Problem is we all (including myself) look for the crack to fit our argument into.

Rittenhouse won't save our nation. Floyd memorials won't save our nation. Our actions and words will.

One of the things that attracted me here is that you can actually call a liar a liar and an idiot an idiot. Pretty much all they ask is that you tie it to the thread topic and their posts on the topic. Is it too much to ask.

I get tired of seeing good threads ruined when someone on the right and someone on the left are going back and forth, as idiots, just name calling and challenging, over and over again. Sometimes, once or twice, I can understand it but I've seen it go for pages and pages until I end up unsubscribing because there's no actual content being posted any longer.

It seems to me that the mods have two choices: change the rules to disallow all rudeness or spend their evenings cleaning up threads instead of participating in threads... or choice 3 of doing nothing.

But of those three, it seems that if choice 2 doesn't go away then choice 1 will be chosen. Don't ruin the forum and dont ruin threads. Try to stay at least somewhat on topic.

**** off

All I'm gonna say

And you're the OP? So now you should be able to answer the question in your title: how do you do it?

 

[MinTrut]

If you don’t see conservatives acting like total loons on a daily basis. You need to open your eyes.

Oh, there are some crazy conservatives out there altight.

But it's not REMOTELY comparable to what I've seen among Democrats as SOP for FIVE YEARS and counting.

This place is just fine as is. More rules and more enforcement would ruin what makes this place fun.

What about it? A handful of criminals speak for half of America?

If that's so then don't be upset when you get lumped with neo-nazis and mass murderers.

Call me anything you want. You are hemorrhaging credibility and terrified.

If we could all agree that it's the government which is the problem, and not us little people, that would be a great start, LOL

Leftists HAVE the government they stole and agree with.

Good post. Something that needed to be said.

As was stated above, the division is purposeful, by design. The more we fight each other the more those in charge can get away with.

A divided populous is far easier to control than a united one

 

[Harpy Eagle]

^ Best answer.

You call this the best answer, yet the post right before it you willfully and joyfully join in on the dividing part.

I'm old enough to remember when most dems on the state/local level here in Virginia were Blue Dogs and they valued our freedoms like 2A and the gop was roundly despised as just being in it for the money. In fact back then they controlled the local banks and credit.

I still think the gop is just in it for the money but all the blue-dog dems were replaced with howling socialists by the time Reagan was elected to his second term and it never got any better.

Virginians came out in record numbers against Fast Terry and voted for Youngkin not because we like the RPV (gop), no far from it, but because we hate socialism and the trampling of our basic rights.

You have one party or group of people that wants to Fundamentally Destroy America and Build Back Better......in other words, Create a Socialist Globalist Fascist "WOKE" State stripped of it's Sovereignty and Constitutional Rights.

Then you have another party or group of people that wants to preserve The Union, Preserve Individual Liberties and Constitutional Rights.

It is Conservatives and Patriots who are WOKE, not The Left. The Left is Blind, following a Dark Path to Perdition. They are deluded and self deceived believing even their own lies. They are committed mindless zealots.

It's THE RIGHT that is "WOKE" to the fact that we are in a Civil War and that we have sat back too long and thought The Left was just playing politics. The Left will tell you that you are silly for believing anything else but that it's just "Politics."

Russian Collusion was not "Politics," it was a well planned orchestrated, multifaceted bureaucratic coup based entirely on propaganda and lies.

"It's just a conspiracy," they say, as they daily chip away at your rights. "Relax, this won't hurt a bit, it's just politics, after all, we are all in this together and we know what is best for you."

Nothing The Left has been doing for the past two decades or more is about politics anymore or is what is "best for you." They have a playbook, and they are following it to execute the plan. It's about dissolving The Union in favor of a Globalist Oligarchy.

When "WOKE" and faced with THAT FACT, The Right knows it's time to resist, not compromise. Diplomacy is irrelevant, when the other side thinks you should just die over a mandate, be fired from your job, be homeless and destitute simply because you disagree with them.

Quite simply The Left has declared war on The Right much like The Nazis declared The Jews to be sub-humans, and unworthy of human dignity and human rights.

When you are branded an "Unredeemable Deplorable" that is no different than saying you are a "Dirty Jew".

I have seen The Left call us Lepers, Vermin, and declare that the sooner we die off, the better off they will all be. Save The Planet, Kill a Conservative? Yes, they actually believe that WE are a PROBLEM in need of a FINAL SOLUTION.

It was Al Gore who said "The Planet has a Fever, and People are The Virus." He meant that. Greta Thornburg, Bill Gates, all these people think Human Beings especially those that disagree with them are a threat to Planet Earth.

There is no room for compromise with such people. "Nothing new is under the sun." said Solomon. Nazism is alive and real today, only it's a new so called "Woke" DemNazism, and anyone who is aware on The Right KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS.

It's Fascists and Nazis and Marxists who are always blind to the Evil they do thinking they do The World a Favor, and its only when you later uncover the graves do you see that these were Soulless, Evil, Mindless, Useful Idiots carrying out Evil Plans. It's not just "Politics!" They were just following Orders, Right?

John 16:2
In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter

Isaiah 10:1-4
1 Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,

2 to deprive the poor of fair treatment and withhold justice from the oppressed of My people, to make widows their prey and orphans their plunder.

3 What will you do on the day of reckoning when devastation comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?

4 Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

You have about a dozen people here who refer to the President as a pedophile... start your crusade with them.

I'm not dividing anything, and I'm not at all joyful about lunatic Democrat sedition, terrorism and fascism.

I'm pointing out the obvious, which is that Democrats are behaving in an exceptionally dangerous and deranged fashion.

And this doesn't contradict the comments I praised.

You, as a somewhat more reasonable Democrat, should not struggle to grasp this.

And now Cuomo is a hair sniffer just like Faux Joe.

This very post is dividing us by painting the Dems with this broad brush.

You, as a somewhat more reasonable Democrat, should not struggle to grasp this.

And this just proves my point. I am not a Dem, voted for one Dem POTUS in my lifetime and that was not even this century. But in your world there are only Repub and Dems, your mind cannot allow for anything else to exist, as then you cannot demonize half the country.
