re: Are opposing views welcome here?

Oh i know. I cant even talk about why i reasonably dislike rick burgess without getting attacked.

What is a women?

Do you have anything of benefit to add?

You wrote in 4 paragraphs what could have been asked in 2 sentences

this board merely a conservative echo chamber or are opposing views welcome here?

I'd guess its:

5% Left
10% Independent
85% Right

Within the Right 75% are "Trump can do no wrong, frick any opposite views" types.

Just look at responses. Its never about the subject, its all ad hom attacks with the majority being "Youre a lib" "You weren't going to vote for Trump anyway" or "TDS"

What is your stance on the open border?

I'm against an open border.

Do you have an opposing view or was this just a wordy way of insulting the board?

---

It's not my sole intent. It's just lagniappe.

You have numerous posts in your history on this board.

That's true. I do. I used to post here much more often. It just gets tiresome. So many responses are just pure ad hominem.


I'll say that this thread appears to me to be very welcoming.

That’s only a handful. Most on here are really good people and engage. I will say, I have yet to see any of our left-leaning posters engage in or verbalize what policies they’re supporting this go around.

Your 1A freedom of speech to express your views is more respected here than anywhere else I know. As always, your Constitutional protections only protect against consequences from the government, as it should be. You can say whatever you want here, but if it is marxist/socialist bullshite, you're going to get called on it.

The ad hom "attacks" aren't nearly as prevalent as you pretend, and usually come after one or several people have tried to talk sense to the leftist, but they refuse to accept facts. Then you have to factor in the number of posters who are known leftist/marxist/socialists, who are known to ignore reason and facts regularly, if not daily. Most people aren't going to waste their breath on the true believers, but rather point out their idiocy and ignorance, and move on.

Just don’t question or contradict Q. That’ll get you banned with the quickness. Ask me how I know.

Bring your views. I’d love to hear them. But be factual and honest don’t bring brainwashed propaganda talk that the tv beats into your brain.

They used to be.

post 2016, this board went full Qanon, MAGA, anti-everything that isn't fellating Trump.

Before that, it was a somewhat reasonable conservative and right-leaning Libertarian board with the occasional crazies.

Toothpick would be considered a sane moderate to some of these cats.
