You’re better than this. I go out of my way to avoid “nuh uh,” which one would think would be more respectful to the first poster than it would be dismissive, because I took the time to think about it further than “nuh uh.”

BLM and LGBTQ movement along with democrat politicians and their media calling everyone that disagreed with them racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. started this cycle we are in before Trump was ever elected president.

99% of the time, whatever dims are accusing you of is what they themselves are guilty of.

Exhibit A would be a few of Trump's recent social media posts about Desantis.

Do you think it’s really possible that you’re as smart and wise as you hold yourself out to be? With the condescension and arrogance and “I’m here to tell you Trump idiots that I’m more enlightened and evolved than you are!” I’m just not thinking that’s the way a truly intelligent person operates, a person who is fully confident in their own levels of intellect and wisdom. When I notice someone hammering on it like you do, whether it be aggressive or passive, first thing I think is, that person isn’t intelligent or wise at all.

You don't know me. I'm a pretty reasonable guy. There are people here that are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to being political hacks. I don't group you in with them. But you did run away in a thread that obviously showed Trump lying. I'm no one important. I'm just some guy just like you are. Why is it so difficult just to be honest about things? I believe you have it in you to do that. Reflect for a few minutes and ask yourself what you're really about. Are you a puppet for a politician that doesn't care about you or are you interested in the truth. I'll give you a benefit of a doubt all day every day that you're interested in the truth. So dog in and honestly seek the truth. You'll be a better man for it and we can agree to disagree about who we should vote for or if we should vote at all. Use your own brain and the gifts that you've been given to make your choice. You don't need to be told by a movement who to vote for.

Racism isn't hard wired. It's taught.

I don’t know you, correct, but I do know that you have the belief that other peoples’ opinions and viewpoints that are in opposition to yours are “lies.” Even in your post here you completely disregard the concept of differing opinions and the general “rules of the road” for debating differing opinions, and instead go to the idea that opinions different than mine is a lie. You made sweeping generalizations containing that exact thing right there throughout your post.
Don’t know what else to tell you. Have no animosity towards you of course, and I’m sure you feel the same. It is what it is. The ancient art of opinion debate is becoming extinct.
P.S. I didn’t “run” from any thread. I’ve got plenty of confidence in myself that there is no “run” in me. But if I think the endeavor in the moment is useless and tiring, I certainly have no problem cutting bait.

Racism is just another form of tribalism.
Sorry, but I agree with OP. It's hard wired.

Opinions and facts are different things. Sorry for the accusation. There were definitely lies by Trump in a previous thread that you were in and you didn't acknowledge them. Hence me saying why you ran from there.
Posted on 8/27/23 at 3:07 am to Powerman
Well, no, I didn’t run from anything, particularly in this case because I never even read the material at issue. As I recall, mine was general commentary spurred by a subsequent post further within the thread. Feel free to re-quote it here and we’ll see.

Maybe you should start reading the material before responding? Especially when it's really short and easy to digest.
Here is the thread I'm referring to
You don't need to read any further than the OP to see that Trump is spouting nothing but stupid lies
