From lurking here for many, many years prior to actually posting...

I always thought this place was nothing but trolling

There are so few conservative leaning boards that you leftist assholes have few options for trolling.

Nothing but?
Really? That's what you thought?

See, that is so interesting because I can cite dozens of posters, right off hand, who have been posting here for years, and who have never posted anything that could legitimately be considered as anything close to a "troll".

My experience here is that, with very few exceptions, the board is a very unfamiliar milieu for libs accustomed to working within friendly echo chambers, and given that, they have trouble carrying on a debate here in an intellectual context. When their intellectual arguments are undercut badly, they resort, trolling, invectives, and sophomoric opining.

There are exceptions. Decatur, for example, is capable of forming high-quality arguments. I respect that, and I respect the fact that quality liberal arguments made here are antithetically outnumbered, which increases the challenge for those expressing such viewpoints.

That's it precisely. They have never had to defend their ideas, and they seem unaware of how pathetically bad their posts are. And true that long time posters do much better.

The group you feel safe in here is shrinking by the day. People are realizing they got scammed by a great conman and are abandoning the red hats.

It isn’t an increase in board members, it’s the board members realizing they drank the kool aid of a conman.

What is the definition of a troll?

quote:

Why the desperation all of a sudden?


desperation (Merriam-Webster)
noun
des·?per·?a·?tion ?de-sp?-'ra-sh?n
Synonyms of desperation
1
: loss of hope and surrender to despair
2
: a state of hopelessness leading to rashness

The question includes an assumption.

Just my uneducated guess, which I reserve to right to modify with better knowledge, America is now at war, or in a major military conflict, which brings more overall interest, concern, and opinions in general.

Any time it’s life and death, success or failure involved for our nation, they show up to celebrate death and failure.

Trump has 100% approval among MAGA Republicans. This isn’t an exaggeration but an actual poll. Trump’s base is as solid as ever.

Of course this is a bad troll account using the repeated ole “this is not what we voted for” BS as always. It is a broken record now - and the same quotes used in every political board around the country. If it’s not this, it’s Epstein, if not that, it’s Bondi. If not Bondi, it is something else. That makes these quotes complete BS.

One thing we know for sure is the President may be questioned at times by us, but no one is going to vote for the trannies and open border fanatics again.

Not sure why the admins. are allowing for-sure troll accounts like this. Unless they are the ones trying to drive traffic (which would be a lowlife move), one would think they would knock them off.

The posters want us to stop going to Conservative-leaning sites like this. This the reason they keep posting. This can’t be lost on the site runners.

It's fun, Just say "Ukraine too right" when they say we should stop spending so much hard earned tax dollars on Iran. Shuts em up 9 outta 10 times.

You would think, that after years if watching President Trump, that we would all know what hyperbole is and what it looks like.

There are more like a handful and some that do get shite on constantly.
Concise arguments one does not like =/= trolling.

Dude, this board is an echo chamber. And there is hardly ever any intellectual responses from the regular peanut gallery if they disagree. Just a few slur-based quips for the upvote dopamine fix. See the other reponse post to this very post you responded to. Only reason Cubbies gets so many pages is everyone loves to bash her for the dopemine.

Outside of Decatur and Clark14, are there any true leftists here? VOR...maybe, but I haven't seen him actually do anything but a driveby. Tboy...maybe but he is a dumb VOR.

I have seen many right wingers get called leftists every day. That sir is trolling. The bulk of the posters here have little to no ability to form any type of useful argument.

I don’t know what is more disconcerting: the fact that you think this is a pride point or that you think anyone else would think it’s a pride point.

I think I bring up some interesting/thoughtful topics. A handful of posters engage in good faith imo.


Oh and I’m omw home from the northshore. My turn to enjoy milky white bland serenity.

Sorry I used you as an example, but I find it funny that the only other topics that get as many pages as yours are those dealing with religion. So basically the people here love to not only prove their level of faith, but show it by bashing you because I guess bashing those they disagree with is saintly.

And NC_Tiger thinks this isn't a troll site.

Amazing.

I don't think any of those are actual leftists. Cubbies and Tboy are probably center left and that's as far as anyone here really goes. I know that may as well be Mao to the poli board but we don't have any "leftists" here that I can think of. Certainly none that put forward respected and intellectual leftist arguments.

ETA that's not to say the arguments that the more liberal posters share aren't educated; I'm just saying no one here is defending the theory of exploitation of labor or anything.
