Look at the wave in voter registration for Gen Zers! Look at people like Mari Copeny (Little Miss Flint)! The Parkland activists! All of these Gen Zers are extremely patriotic.

All I get is some Democrat funded groups research and if that is the case I can show such research about #walkaway.

Infowars violated all of those companies' stated policies for content, and AJ is likely to lose his defamation trial
If it wasnt for double standards the left wouldn't have any at all.

I read the argument, "but you'll just get Pence," all the time, but that's what they want. Pence is a wussy Globalist neocon that Lefties can deal with. Trump, OTOH, is part of The Patriarchy, and he's a Nationalist. Trump represents OWGs. There's a lot of people, some on this forum, who hate OWGs. I don't like Trump as a person but he represents me in government.

p.s. "The Patriarchy" simply means meritocracy-based.

Doesn’t matter, any Trump supporters attacked by leftists are just protestors being addressed by counter-protesters. From the kid jacked for his MAGA hat to the road rager intentionally slamming into the guy with a Trump bumper sticker, they were being counter-protested. That’s all. The oracles have thus decreed.

Ooky is a damm smart cookie. And so is Kath. It’s just a shame that this board doesn’t allow their free speech and the right of rebuttal.
I must've missed where Martin banned them from the forum, deactivated their accounts, or deleted their posts.

If those didn't happen then I'm not sure how their free speech was "not allowed"?

If I were to post that I think Jesse Jackson is a race-baiting piece of shit, and you and a dozen others come back and reply to me that you disagree, you haven't "not allowed" my free speech. I may decide this place isn't worth my time and leave, stop posting, that is my free choice based on my own free will - you still will not have in any way "not allowed" my free speech since it was my choice to leave, right?

If you can't "take the heat" then maybe the internet isn't the place for you.

If, OTOH, you ban me from the forum, delete my account, etc - THEN, yes, you would be disallowing my free speech. That is active censorship. Typically this happens when one has no counterargument and/or are afraid of any other narrative but their own. It is not really a position of strength.

I'll say one thing, ooky knows when the gig is up and when to make herself scarce to preserve that sense of victimhood, unlike another liberal talking point poster who demands a PhD level symposium when a couple of post made the point and now they are just trying to bury the mistake like a dog with a bone.

NEGATIVE
I have actively engaged them, I have always welcomed them back to the board warmly.

I have no personal animus toward either of them. I'd like to see them around as regular posters. I actually have sympathy for anyone trying to post a minority opinion because often on DCF I was a lone voice telling the board back in 2007 that you shouldn't dismiss the people that like Palin as dumb hayseeds. Because I knew she was tapping into a lot of public dissatisfaction.............. those same people that liked what Palin was saying, elected Trump.

The last time Ooky came in here is when they thought Popodopulus was the smoking gun on Trump. She started a thread. I asked her honestly if she wanted a serious debate. She confirmed she did. She posted her points. I posted opposing points, with references. She walked away from the debate.

No doubt MHF is a rough place. But they have had their chance to make solid arguments, and are welcome to at any point.

Here's the problem Harry. The Left is just more wrong than right at this current point in time, they are out of step with the American public and the Left is trying to force their thoughts and policies on others, not persuade.

Not to quibble, but "at this current point in time?"
They have been that way for about 30 years.
