April 5 protests

He's a fucking piece of shit authoritarian racist fascist horrific Trumpist, he runs away because he is a piece of shit that likes to live in a false reality created so he can justify his own evil nature and feel good about it. Like all the other worst people in human history. Who cares at this point. Trying to talk to him is as pointless as trying to talk to Trump himself.

Generally I post my opinion and leave it at that. It's not like I'm going to present an argument that will change anyone's mind.

Seems odd for a forum that is intended to be a place of discussion.

Generally you post lies and don't have the balls to back them up. At least if your positions were truthful it would be a good faith opinion but that's too much to expect. You don't get to post the earth is flat and not expect to be called out.

Greenman is a Nazi magat. He lies and is probablyy a Russian asset. He is sad. He craps in threads than runs like the useless coward he is. He can’t argue facts so he goes to the next conspiracy when called out.

You are a coward greenman. 👍🫡

People have reported facts that are a stark contrast to your opinions and u don’t acknowledge it.


You are the newsman/oan of atpn and no I am not even going to the level of Fox News

It is remarkable how angry or offended he is that people disagree with him on a discussion board.

Yes, when he ends up in an uncomfortable place he shuts down and runs away instead of re-evaluating his position. I’m pretty sure he blocked me because I wouldn’t let him run away from it.

Ah, yes, here it is, for posterity:

Ok, I seriously thought this was the Onion, but it is Mississippi , so I thought damn near anything is possible.

lol yes, there you go. When he's cornered he refuses to respond. If you press him to respond he becomes enraged - all on a discussion board he voluntarily participates in.

All these protests are great and the polling backing up all this negative sentiment is also great but where the fuck were these people when it came to voting in the election? Hell, where are all the counter protests and pro Trump rallies of significant size that show that there is any indication that half the country support Trump?

Is the right so full of cowards that they are unwilling to stand up for their principals or are they just so brainwashed and ignorant that they couldn’t support their principals even if they wanted to? Based on the righties here on this forum and their MO, it certainly seems like the latter.

For many years, some people have wrongly assumed that voting doesn't make that much of a difference. And there are also likely some that assumed Trump 2 might be somewhat like Trump 1 (yes, that is a brainless idea). Trump 2 is definitively showing that those ideas are very wrong, and who you vote for can matter a whole lot.

I just hope they bring that energy to Congress and their representatives offices. The fact that some Republican representatives are starting to balk is a good sign. I don't think they'll trickle over to the light, probably more of an enough to partner with the Dems all at once kind of thing once they get jittery enough. (Or at least, I would hope that would be the case, since nothing can be done in Congress without some defectors from the majority).

When I canvassed for Harris in Montgomery County PA I had a few people tell me they are not voting because their vote doesn’t make a difference. That sentiment is out there.

County went for Harris. State went for Trump

Those republicans include Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins, color me not impressed.

Yes, it's the latter, it's a cult. My partner's parents are intelligent people, but refuse to do any critical thinking when it comes to Herr Trump and his cabal of ghouls. Everything starts from "Trump is the greatest" and works backwards from there, allowing them to ignore all the wrongdoing.

I have a friend that was actually in a cult and has even had therapy to handle it (he grew up in it and managed to get out around age 15). I asked him if based on his past experience and what he knows about cults if it was fair to label maga republicans as a cult and proceeded to list off the various signs/requirements.

So yes, they are a cult.
