I absolutely don’t care what any athlete or entertainer’s political views are. They are paid to entertain me with their talents. That’s it as far as I’m concerned.

You can appreciate their talents. Joe is just being Joe. It’s not like he had a prior history like Brees. Brees refused to kneel for his personal reasons then just bent the knee in the end. And wearing a dudes name that not only committed sexual battery but also picked up a knife to attack the cop with.

He’s a sell out. This isn’t some new phenomenon. This has been a thing for a while. Just now the main issues pushed are gender identity and race. Identify politics.

We are living in economic misery. The cause and solution are both political.

It doesnt feel like it was always like this. Im almost at nearing the end of middle age.

In the early 2000s we got along with nearly everyone. Except most adults.

Today. Its like you need to know my political affliations before we can move on.

It confuses me sometimes.

Maybe I’ll rephrase. There’s a large proponent of people who would have been OK with democracy being shredded, now that inflation and gas prices have risen.

really? how would “shredding democracy” improve gas prices and inflation? based on your in depth studies of OT poster patterns, what are some of the solutions that have been offered?

What? I’m not agreeing with the statement. I’m casting a shadow of guilt on people who are stead fast Trump supporters. The frick is wrong with you?

People that have their heads in the sand and aren't pissed are the reason this has happened. Apathy is the real enemy. They win every second we live in a bubble and are too afraid to lose what we have to fight for something bigger.

If you start a thread about cute puppies there will be some snarky and unintelligent political comment within the first page.

That’s just life on the internet now.

Yeah pretty much.

If you say anything that someone disagrees with, you can quickly get sent to HR if not get dragged through the mud

don’t deflect. this was your exact statement:

quote:

Currently people are OK with democracy being shredded if it meant inflation and gas prices didn’t rise.


what does that mean? what examples of this do you have? if you can’t answer this you are no better than the people you are accusing of being politically polarized.

Superman was a closet homosexual, not unlike yourself I’m sure. But yeah, let’s play this game. Where did I say that? Do you have a another question? Are you willing to contribute other than emoji responses? Do you enjoy your boyfriend making coffee in the AM, or is that your thing?

You mean the same Steve Bannon that was arrested along with the countless other witch hunts the Dems have waged against people who are on the opposite aisle like sicking the IRS on conservative businesses, being fired for having a differing opinion, or almost getting assassinated during a baseball practice or right outside of kavanaughs house. I think you meant to the right of Steve bannon

It takes effort to be happy and effort to think about things differently and from different perspectives.

Most here are lazy and blame the Jews or the blacks. It is kind of scary TBH. Boarderline genocide discussion.
