I don't care if he posts here or not, but Rex has always been full of shite. Not surprised that a couple of morons would find him entertaining, though.

Since Trump's election, this board has become AT LEAST 25-30% liberal. And no, I'm not counting non-liberal Never-Trumpers in that total.

People need to stop pretending this board is 90% conservative


Let me try to help you understand then. During the election, most of the people that dabble in politics but spend most of their time either on the rant, OT, ODB, etc came here because they were inspired to do so and it was convenient to check in. Now that Trump is in, they don't really care anymore about disputing with the dems. So in short, yeah the poli board right now is probably mostly liberal dems, but that's just because they are mad and trying to fight Trump because he beat Hillary and they are butt hurt.

I'm still considering the idea that he was a republican troll the entire time, pulling off one of the greatest acts in internet history.

I mean, he is literally a generic republican based on demographics. White, age 30-65, southern, CFO.

True, but he was clearly an exception to the rule. For one thing, nobody would keep up a charade like that for that long. Secondly, he could be intensely passionate about his beliefs. Hence, multiple banning ( not that he was the only one to experience that).

Several consistant liberal posters. It seems many are one hit wonders who do the splash and dash only trying for a gotcha post with no follow up or personal opinions on the topic.

While I am not a habitual poster I do follow the board more than I should and do not agree with most of their viewpoints.

Having said that, I do enjoy and appreciate those who actually put the effort into sharing their own point of view on the topic at hand. That certainly lends for a different perspective on the topic and helps understand their position.

Yea I have noticed this too. They all created accounts about one year ago or more, but didn't post on poliboard until after the inauguration. Greatest Success is another poster who is an example of this, or Lone DMG and 9th life.


I never paid any attention to this place, stuck to SEC and Gaming all these years. This place to me was mostly for that. Anything else, I went to larger forums.

But on a whim, sometime around the inauguration, I clicked here.

Now, I'm used to the crazy shenanigans of SEC rant, and I'll give ya'll credit. Bama fans and LSU fans have fellowship here, together. It's just sad that it's in the neverending belief of a thin skinned con-man. It's puzzling, watching tons of people jump through hoops made out of tin.

But hey, I don't understand how anyone can be a Tennessee fan, but they just exist. Can't do anything about that, either.

Maybe with his constant crazy tweets, which lead to constant cries for investigations, it'll just end up being 4 years of "Governmental Shutdown" and maybe that's just for the best. But maybe, that's exactly how the Russians win, which going by a topic from today, more people than I'd thought would be ok with that.

So I continue to be completely confused by this place.

March was a busy videogame month, so yeah, posting slows down, and this isn't my main board.

Your quote was from another poster but yet you replied to mine.

I also am confused "but mainly" with your second to last paragraph.

Chalk that up to this boards setup. Had that post to respond to, but kept reading until the end (at that point, your post), and I hit the nearest reply button to continue on. Something I always forget about this place.

Well to be honest most here have no idea of the distinction between progressive fascist and liberals in the first place.

I respectfully disagree with liberals on many issues but the current crop of progressives are a clear and present danger to our nation IMHO.

I considered myself liberal a decade ago. I'm embarrassed about that. The Left has gone so nuts that I do believe they want to turn the country into a third world communist shithole.

The extreme wing of both parties are a threat, just different brands of poison, fractional politics is killing this great country.

The folks that would only vote for this or that party or agree with one or the other on every single issue are our nations biggest problem and promote the status quo in DC.

Both groups prey on simpletons and use snake oil mixed with race mongering to keep their dullards in line.

I miss intellectual "conservatives". Maybe you need to teach half the board how to write a coherent sentence. Its all about posting a link to a Right wing tabloid and everyone else states a half-brained response. PT is a very conservative board.
