Has this board ever changed your political views?


Or is this board nothing more then people going back and forth saying "You're wrong.... No... YOU'RE WRONG!"



reply

I can’t speak for others but I’ve seen many who’ve benefited from the education we on the right have provided. Some have even thanked me personally.

A better description of this board would be, one side providing cogent arguments backed by facts and evidence. And the other side in a perpetual tantrum screaming orange man bad.

With one doggielemming loser copying and pasting faster than you can say Kinkos. Every group has one. It’s nice we can all sit back and laugh at his perpetual anger and irrelevance.

reply

So would say the folks on the left are throwing temper tantrums while the folks on the right are reasonable and logical?

reply

No one has thanked GD5150 for anything - personally or publicly. Ever.

Very good answer and right to the point! 👏🏻👏🏻

“With one doggielemming loser copying and pasting faster than you can say Kinkos” Hilarious!!

Your statement made me think about a herd of cattle. If a few go over a cliff...they all follow! I learned last night if cattle are in a barn which happens to catch on fire, they don’t try to escape...they just stand there and cry “moo”! Sad & pitiful. I equate those pitiful cattle with democrat lemmings. 😔😟

Makes you wonder how he knows what I’m doing when he has me on ignore. Proves what a liar he is, once again.

reply

No, in fact it has reinforced mine, due to seeing what kind of people follow the other side of the aisle. Who wants to be in a party where everyone's an immature, entitle brat; or a psycho who demands the world bow to their madness; or someone who accuses the other side of the very things they are doing; or people who are so damned stupid, they want to betray America to her enemies, and are too stupid to realize that turning America into a socialist backwater will not benefit anybody?

reply

That's the whole point.

Your opinion wasn't changed.

It just seems pointless. Nothing but belittling others on both sides.



reply

Yeah, but you'll notice I'm not as noisy about it as some of the others. In fact, I've been mostly quiet for the past few weeks, save for a stray comment here or there. Don't believe me? Look at my post count compared to a certain quadrupedal fecal pile.

Conservatives have changed my mind about certain things, but they weren't from this board. I've encountered perhaps two or three intelligent foreign conservatives here. One or two have said things which were insightful. Unfortunately, too many American conservatives on this board don't value education and it shows.

Anyway, it's not just about trying to change political views which is unlikely. I don't mind learning different viewpoints.

And it's also about correcting misinformation.

Lastly, a few people link news and information here and I use it as a shortcut to find out the latest.

Opinions change. When it happens, they either leave or don't come around as much.

More right-wingers have either disappeared or became scarce than left-wingers have. We don't see thrillhouse or his socks any more. Chilone moved to general. Quinto kept begging me to move to this board, then he disappeared. Destinata was a more moderate right-winger and left the Trump board before it was shifted to here. It probably got too difficult for him/her to keep defending Trump. Amerigirl and Gd5150 only post for their echo chamber. I never see them have a back-and-forth discussion with anyone else. It's almost always a 'one and done' if you reply to them and aren't part of their clique. Every discussion with Sandman devolves into him spamming emojis and repeatedly saying "pray tell" in an attempt to annoy you. Krl is really the only one on here that will have a back-and-forth discussion but he disappears for a couple weeks at a time as if he needs to bone up on right-wing talking points before returning.

It seems the only die-hard Trumpers that stick around do it to troll or be as annoying as possible to those who disagree.

reply

Great answer. I find it rather frightening that the Republicans are only represented by T-rumptard extremists on this forum. There are no true Republicans here who speak out against T-rump ( and they’re out in the world, thank God) just the ones who drank all the Kool Aid. But once he’s out, they’ll slither back into oblivion once again. Just like the Tea Baggers.

reply

True. Destinata is the only real republican I can think of. Unless of course you count Keelai ;)
