This is a trend I've noticed here and on Facebook. There are people who like to call liberals snowflakes, joke about safe spaces, and talk about triggering them. But the people who seem the most sensitive are the conservatives that don't like being challenged on their views. They are the ones that typically spew some nonsense, make some personal attacks, and hairflip out because people are "being mean to them". Engaging in a discussion, using data and logical reasoning, asking questions, etc. is not being mean. I think people either don't really have ways to back up their arguments or really know what they think because they just mimic what Fox news tells them or deep down they know that what they are defending is reprehensible but the tribalism/cult runs deep and it's hard to grapple with that.
And hot tip: if you don't like people responding to your posts and calling you out, then don't post racist/misogynistic/homophobic shit.

Since this started off as a bitch thread, even though OP deleted, you know what pisses me off? The trumpers who jump into the political threads and bitch and moan about those mean old Liberals and contribute no factual info. Stop opening the damned political threads and grow up. Most of those posters have vacated the political threads, thank goodness, but I am quite certain they still lurk. I am sure they have a super secret board where all the trumpers can fawn over the moron in the White House. Ask one of them to PM you the board URL and you too can join the trump love fest. Then you won't have to hear anything but your own myopic point of view. Yeah, the conservative board exists and they aren’t even secret any more about it. Elise went on about it not that long ago. And all you have to do is see that Carly miraculously posted to this thread a few posts above to know that discussions off-this-board happen.

I don’t see anything too “heated” so far (and I don’t do politics online). Just a whole lot of people disagreeing with you. You are also a very regular contributor to the board each day. You are friendly and pleasant and should you ever pop onto one of the political threads you would be listened to and treated very fairly I am sure!

I’m glad they did, on the phone it looked like the second to post had started it the way it was deleted. Deleting your posts for that reason is a chicken shit move, IMO. And no, that wasn’t heated. 😂😜

I don’t often post about politics on my Facebook, unless I’m feeling particularly riled. The two people who have deleted me on FB over politics were both conservative. One was even a Canadian conservative. Bless his heart for having Trumps back. 😏

And no one cares. That is a good place for them. I confession kinda miss arguing with them at times. Boy, I don't. I like to argue/debate with people who actually have a point of view and can back it up with some intelligent conversation. I haven't seen that happen from any trumpers. They just whine or lie or avoid the questions asked.

You know, you don't have to open the political threads. thats why they are labeled political. When I’m not up to it I scroll past. that's me. usually I seek them out. once in a while, when I can't take another minute of the madness that is trump and comp, I take a minute (or 2 or 12) and scroll on by.

Adding they always whine about being silenced all the while kept spewing their propaganda echo chamber! They left because they couldn’t defend the daily disaster, the lies, the gridding that this administration does. They had no facts/honesty to back up ridiculous claims.

I will be the first to post something that original OP will probably deem nasty.
Deleting the OP is cowardly, and shows a lack of conviction in her view.
Deleting the OP actually created the drama she claimed to dislike.
Enough said.

Well you better stay away from this board cuz Trump is gonna “spank dat liberal ass” again. This board will be just like this as long as the liberal tears are flowing! No need to have a conversation on this board if you are a Trump supporter, just go with the flow and rub it in! Go away. Go far, far away.

The thread remains unless admin deletes it, and that’s a very rare occurrence.

I never thought of it, because usually people delete when they perceive they’re being picked on. Maybe I’ll try a test thread late tonight when the rest of you are sleeping. If I remember to do it, I’ll report back.

If I remember to do it, I’ll report back. I quick did it. It disappeared. I think. Post was just labeled "test". It's gone. (I think) ETA my internet sucks especially this time of night. Surprised I got away with it without one of you catching me and chiming in before my server cooperated.
