liberal's don't engage due to the rage of this board IMO. Trump supporters on this board love a good progressive bashing and tend not to care about facts just like the liberal posters and the gotcha post about Trump. I have come to expect this from most post. Some of the tax reform post have been informative but now that bill is in committee it will change and lead to more debate.

Well. Frankly. I would prefer more actual debate where my position isn't assumed to only exist because Trump.

I mean I've been here for friggin 9 years and you have posters assuming i just discovered i like reduced taxes last year

Maybe less lazy assumptions are in order

I'm an occasional poster but really long time reader.

What's keeping decent liberals away is the sec rant levels of trolling that defines our political discourse today. The libs who post now mostly troll. The majority of conservatives are here for the libtears.

The divide here isn't really liberals and conservatives, its the liberals and conservatives who prefer discourse without trolling and the liberals and conservatives who'd rather troll.

I submit that on the RARE occasion a liberal chooses to engage me and manage to go 3 posts without using some form of ism, i enjoy it

Absent that, when all i see is one troll tread after the other, the only rational response is to tweak them

but lazy assumptions are what draw us to this place of political discourse.

You have libtards on here like AUbased, Iosh, Navtiger74, DisplacedBuckeye, buckeye_vol,and ASUrob; this place wants rational discourse. But libtards only show in force when they are like "GOT 'EM!" and run away when it turns out to be nothing.

I would prefer not to troll, but we have 10 threads a day where the sum total of the OP is "We Love Our POTUS", 15 twitter threads a day and if you dare disagree with a Trump position you're either melting or a cuck. Ohh, and then let us not forget the daily "Serious Question for Libz:" thread where the subject is some god awful strawman like "What is it you like about raping children?" What is enticing about engaging with that kind of nonsense?

It was NOT like this prior to this election. It was nothing like this as a matter of fact. The place was invaded by neckbeard 4channers which, in turn, brought out the lib trolls en masse.

It's why I keep coming to this board.

This board is not conservative. Many posters abandoned conservatism long ago.

Its more anti progressive in its orientation. Its one huge prog/anti prog trollfest.

Whatever it is, I’m sure we can all agree that it isn’t a forum for serious or honest debate.

Let’s conduct ourselves accordingly.

With a little bit of scientific research I have come to the conclusion that this board is about 3/4 some sort of "conservative"

----
About 3/4 "conservative"
About 1/12 "liberal"
and about 1/8 realist, not carrying quite as much either way
Also - ~100% Troll
-----

+/- 1/8 due to sample size

I don’t agree with the original statement whatsoever but to say that people of the KKK in 2017 vote democratic is asinine to say the least. It sucks but they definitely side with Republicans these days.


POTUS said that both sides are to blame and he's right!

LOL This board is overwhelmingly conservative.


Maybe by threads posted, but not by amount of posters.

There is a shite load of liberal posters on here. At least 40-50.

which would put the "conservative" posters as high as 360 to 450... nah, there are a lot less than 40-50 "liberal" posters.

Now if you consider not blowing off the god emporer every chance you get in hopes of getting a load on your face as "liberal" - then sure, those numbers might be a "little" higher.

I could probably come up with fewer than 15 truly lib posters off the top of my head.

Another 30 or so anti-Trump posters, maybe.
