Yes, you are confused. You have no idea where I stand or what I support because I have not told you. What I have tried to share with you is that your MO is not helping you. I've scrolled through this thread and haven't posted, but I find it interesting that after 16 pages of posting, you are admitting that you have not shared where you stand or what you support.

Is this shit still going on? Don't you people ever sleep? I know! Everytime I come back to it, it's another page deep. Back and forth...I can't keep up. Almost worse than Twitter. 🤣

I gotta admit I'm kinda amused by the way you're being lumped in with 'the left' @dottyscrapper . Reminds me of all those that don't support Hillary get lumped in as a Trump supporter. I've been saying this for more than 2 years now. See how many threads are devoted to respecting the differences of all the people who just could not vote for Hillary?

I'm aware. Hard to miss. It's equivalent. Huh. Doesn’t seem at all equivalent to me. And it really looks like you missed it. Big time. Just my observations- take them or not - but that is how it comes across. I think “the left” is just shorthand for those on a particular side of opinion. Much like the “vagina” technicality in another thread. We all know the medical terms but there’s a common shorthand when referring to a particular female body part. Same here. Did anyone actually label dotty personally as “the left”?

I’m not really interested in playing your posting-back-and-forth-ad-nauseum games, so when you respond to this, I’ll let you have the last word. I shared how your recent posts related to those about @dottyscrapper and her political affiliation come across to me. All your word dissection after the fact doesn’t change that, for me. It actually just reinforces, for me, my initial impressions. You see things differently. Got it.

Reminds me of all those that don't support Hillary get lumped in as a Trump supporter. Ummm, not really. The amusement is because @dottyscrapper isn’t even American, yet some are so desperate to paint everyone who disagrees with them as being part of the “rabid liberal left” that they ignore the actual nationality of the poster. But if you want to make false equivalencies in your head, by all means go ahead. Free speech and all. Doesn’t make it seem like you are aware of who you are actually discussing things with, though. And you miss out on some of the references. (see above) It wasn’t even that. Taking the simplest/broadest definition of ‘the left’ as everyone with political views that tend left of centre, there are a whole bunch of us non-Americans who could legit be included in said ‘left’, me included. @dottyscrapper though? I don’t think she’d take offence if I suggest that she and I would both near fall over in shock if we ever voted for the same party. That’s the amusement. So the better analogy is that it’s just like someone who does support Hillary being lumped in as a Trump supporter. If you’re scratching your head at that? Well, quite. And for the avoidance of any doubt, my use of such an analogy is in no way a suggestion that Dotty is either of those things. She will understand that, of course. But when you’re also dealing with someone who attempts to answer a question about policy positions with examples of behaviour, and thinks it is the then baffled questioner who is being obtuse, even the clearest of clarity may not be enough.

Maybe mom26 should have ended her post after "raising her hand" like all the other right leaning peas did before her by just posting "yes". Was it really necessary for her to add that extra, she must have known it would have been like a red flag to a bull. How is that any different than... It's different for the obvious reason that it wasn't what I said. That was YOUR interpretation of what I posted and I've repeatedly given you an explanation that it was in reply to one specific post and not to the whole thread. How you could deduce "if she had just not voiced her opinion, we wouldn't have attacked her personally." from what I actually wrote is, quite frankly, beyond MY comprehension. I have no wish to continue with this discussion as it's pretty obvious that you are not seeking a clarification but to purposely be as obtuse as you possible can. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Oh I understand Jenny and I understood your "amusement" in your first post. Certainly no offence was taken and yes I think we'd both be on the floor. I don't think JC needs to ever think of rejoicing.

We can be right leaning without supporting the rhetoric of the administration. It seems some peas want the RL peas to start a coup to overthrow the government as a testament to our lack of support. I never assume that just because someone is right leaning, they support this administration. Although... if you wanted to go ahead with a coup, I would back you to the hilt, and honor you as a national treasure. 😂 🤪
