The Political Thread

[Y2Jayne]

I will go ahead and say no because that would be pretty fascist to dictate who can put who on ignore and for what reason. Everyone's entitled to place someone non-staff on ignore for whatever reason they want, even if it's hateful because we as staff aren't in a position to make presumptions based on something we tell people to use all the time when dealing with people you just don't want to deal with.

Would you really want staff dictating who people can or cannot ignore? Either everyone can ignore everyone, or nobody can ignore anyone, and frankly, the latter is more frustrating and depressing than just not having to see their stuff.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I'm sure something hateful will slip out soon anyway.

Ah, I miss re-read then, my bad, and I getcha now.

Lol, all good. I started to take it as a joke and go elsewhere with it, but didn't want to derail the thread anymore than I already have.

im in shock lol

most conservatives i come across that find out i am right of center - don't run away from discussion.
dude is acting like all the "so called liberals" - he hates so much.

LOL

It’s always embarrassing when certain conservatives will only entertain right of center people that follow their exact thought process when the right is probably the most diverse it’s ever been.

Paleocons
Neocons
Libertarians
Classical liberals (which honestly I believe most “conservatives” are closer to old school liberals, but the word was incorrectly associated with progressives and socialism.)
Fiscal conservative
National conservative
Traditional, Cultural and Social conservatives Etc.
There’s also America First / MAGA (which I think is starting to die out.)

are you a liberal by default in the US - if you are gay? - at least in the eyes of a Christian Conservative?.

Its like being a face in the UK - but a heel in the US - with the same character

To some people. In the US, Gay, women and POC who vote Republican or lean conservative are often mocked for not being real women, POC or traitors to the LGBT. Because certain people on the left truly believe these blocks to monolithic and if you step outside the left, you’re either selling out or hate yourself enough to be used and other derogatory stuff like that. Now of course there are bigots on the right that don’t want them on their side, either, but most people see and condemn bigotry. You’d be surprised how persuasive the thought of “traitors” to their gender, cause or skin color is in the states.

The word you're thinking of is pervasive

You think gay people should be allowed to marry regardless of religion, Blaze. You're far too extreme for American Southern Republicans

Glad you said southern.

Which wouldn't have applied to me because I have "never" been anti-abortion. The only thing I posted was a meme to piss off someone who was ranting.

Remember us Libertarians believe in personal freedom, as well as personal accountability.

Depends on which Libertarians. I know libertarians who say Abortion doesn’t apply because of the do no harm principle. Kane is one of them.

It is, thank you.

I'm never shocked when people from the left are up - ive been far less progressive at certain points.
but when people from the right discard me - i just shake my head
