Clint Eastwood is a legend, though.

You're on your way!

I thought Doc was older than Clint.

No one is telling you what you can and can't do with your body. As long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses. . . . I don't care if you do or don't bake gay cakes, get snipped or reproduce like a rabbit, swallow pills by the handful or maintain total sobriety, attend church every day and twice on Sundays or are militantly atheist, or lust after Milo or Maddow in your heart. I fully support your right to lecture at any venue that will take you, regardless of how much I hate what you say. In fact, I would defend your right to say it as much as I would defend my moral clone.

Fuck off with the gaslighting. That's exactly what you do when you try to force people to participate in a wedding, or buy abortion pills, or even to intimidate them into not going to a lecture lest the democratic party militia physically attack them while the democratic party police chief and mayor order the police to let it happen.

You have been gaslighting people for so long you probably don't even see it anymore.

YOU are the ones who do this shit. You are not the protagonists of this story. Maybe that's a hard reality for you to accept, but it's true.

I'm thinking I misplaced my Secret Decoder Ring that I got when I sold my soul after joining The Left.

Seriously, the "Left" is no more a monolithic group than the "Right" is. The Alt-Right, the John Birch Society, the National Chamber of Commerce, the Tea Party, the RNC, the Southern Baptist Convention, the NRA, the Libertarian Party, are all commonly lumped into this thing we call the Right, but they are all different.

Still, most people of whatever political bent have nowhere to go as both major parties have morphed into pseudo-political organizations masking a giant con of the Oligarchic Elites, and the Corptocracy.

We get to be individuals because we think that way. We are individualist. Because the left is collectivist surprise suprise you get thought of that way. Why is the concept of "only as strong as your weakest link" so hard for you guys? The crazies are running your shit.

Perfect example of this is Obamacare. The Democrats all fell in line with whatever the plan was going to be. They didn't care to have their own input or even know what was in it before they voted for it.

Now the Republicans are working to repeal and replace it. So far in this process we have seen different groups with different ideas on what that should look like. The left thinks this is a disaster for the GOP because they are not all in lock step.

I've seen the same thing on political discussion forums that are dominated by hard left posters. The minute any one of them gets even a little bit out of line with the narrative, that poster is dog-piled with hate about how wrong they are. They usually fall back in line and the echo chamber returns to it's normal state. This is probably the kind of bubble/ echo chamber Ooky has been living in.

That's probably true but like I pointed out, she posted here. But her post was discombobulated, which is not normal for her, a sign of cognitive dissonance. Again, kudos to her.

Hey Ooky - Just FYI - I rarely post here, now. Most here have gotten so used to the taste of Trump's butt juice that they don't know that it tastes lousy. Perhaps one day they will get their mouth out of his ass, but until then, it's nonsense spew from the fringe right.

I'm over here hoping that some day we can get someone reasonable to run the country - the extremes on both sides are killing us. The 40% or so of us in the middle are horrified, and have been for years.

That kind of post is why nobody likes you Kath. Go back to reddit.

[Martin Hash]

Wow, just vitriol.

It really feels like the anti-Trumpers want to cast anyone else as evil & stupid so that they don't have to take our opinions into account. I take that personally, I'm neither evil nor stupid.

Nah - I don't hate. It's just sad. I have numerous conservative friends who voted for Trump. None of them have brown lips, though, like some around here. My MIL voted Trump and has voted R-team her whole life. She's having buyer's remorse, because she can see how awful this man is. She doesn't wish Hillary were there instead. I agree with her.

[TheReal_ND]

Its ok Kath. We know you're just salty from getting BTFO'd all year :snicker:

[Martin Hash]

There's lots of other topics besides Trump here. I post "Trump" only occasionally when I recognize a false narrative starting to build. In fact, that's how I see most people posting about him. My goodness, ssu is after Trump every day, and he gets his hits in pretty good. I can't even tell what posts set you off?

p.s. The big threads here currently are healthcare repeal & "corps are people."
