And CourtJester is going to Australia with spouse. I have warned the embassy. Just kidding!

SpikeTalon formed the Pro-Choice Group. Trajan61 has multiple personality disorder or is more than one person. BigPawBullets hasn't been around since he warned of January 6th. CourtJester throws grenade now & then. CaptainFeelGood posts some great jokes. They are very EXclusive & want their private club. We are inclusive & enjoy what immigrants bring to our country etc. When I feel the stress of living approaching, I relieve it by engaging with them until I realize I am interacting with the illogical & extreme. So I bail until the next contact. I really should go back to therapy. I usually don't vote in primaries, but I am considering vote for FORMER President Victim. That would ensure a defeat for the RepudliKlans the way the trend is going. Dare I?

I like to know my opposition. Another thing about them is that their sources are dubious. RT, NY Post, Washington Times, Newsmax. I do not find the rabid hatred of POC, or Gay folks or Judaics as the extreme sites. Kanye is mentally ill so he doesn't count. There still is sexism but it is not as fervent as before. So with hindsight I see massive progress in our nation since the '50s. & in that I think they are experiencing what the oppressed have always endured & that scares them. President Bankruptcy gave them the courage to express their opposition to America's progress toward a more perfect union. Giving others equality means they are losing dominance. As if something is being taken away as opposed to sharing. The illegals are taking jobs. Except that so many jobs are going unfilled. Americans do not want to clean toilets. That is what immigrants are for. The patriarchy doesn't want to share. I may be a 'po white cracker, but I am one up on POC or Gay folks or the persecuted du jour. That straight, Caucazoid men have to share power is seen as being less powerful. Competition for wealth is then greater, as there are more players. And women are no longer dependent on them other than to take the garbage out. "I was the only white, straight, Christian at the party". Well now you know what it feels like all the time for them.

There's one. Under that rock over there.

Maybe they are afraid of you. I try to post and I'm blocked. Then there are those who belittle and are so much better than me that they make me wanna cry for ruining my life and not becoming what they are. OMG! I could have been them and not me. If only I had of known and saved more when I was younger, etc.
Can I puke now?

They were always a minority here as I still think it is an oxymoron to be an "atheist Republican". The thing is, I found common ground on several issues. However, "they" will always fall back to the one or two issues that dominate their position. Money & gaining more of it. & they think that we eat babies, just before they are born. LOL. So I only interact to gage just how nuts each one is. Too much lead in their milk as a baby? Perhaps they left to join Truthsocial. I mean if one really wants the truth...........

I still engage with them as I also think that no communication is not healthy for either side. And I did squeeze a small concession off one, (no names) who admitted that Trump's treatment of Pence was shabby.

I think blocking is dumb. Neither party has a chance to expand their brain much. I engage where I think there might be an interest to grow but not more than that. Sometimes it is me who learns something.

Some blocking, but the fact that that are so few of them on the site discourages them over time.
