    I think you're mixing up Gallifrey and Gilead together. It would be great to live in the former, but terrible to live in the latter. And I agree, we're much closer to the latter.

    Ehhh, hold your horses, Gallifrey can be pretty theocratic and horrible depending on the president.

    Wait y’all, we’re way over thinking this. These are college kids remember.

    If you are interested in getting drunk and getting laid, as most non-jesus freak college kids are, you’re probably NOT going to hang out with and date the jesus freaks.

    Funny thing about Dartmouth. There was a study way back in the ‘80s about the binge drinking culture there. Seems the number one social activity for male students was getting together and drinking until they’d vomit, or “powerboot.” Apparently females were not welcome at these events. “You want to go see your girlfriend instead of drinking with the guys? What are you, a faggot?” :lol:

    I have no doubt these were Young Republicans. :borg:

    Yeah that doesn't make sense, you always seem to be questioning your own and others beliefs and not partisanly sticking with one side.

    You proceed from a false assumption. Nothing can make @Tuttle happy. Nothing can reach down into the emptiness of his soul and say "Awwww, poor puppy! Somebody must love you!"

    On some points:

    Left says "I think we should have a generous posture toward refugees" and the right says "You're wrong" because that position isn't one that can be rationally characterized as evil.

    Right says "If refugees come here with their kids they are criminals who deserve to have their kids taken away and locked in cages and potentially not returned to them for years while the parents are sent to federal prison...they bring it on themselves" and the left says "that's evil" because...well...the math is obvious.

    Stop holding evil positions and you won't hear that so often. They aren't saying "evil" about tariff policy and shit like that.

    yeah, no one remembers those Obama brownshirt pics from 2009 at all.

    Or that he was going to declare martial law and suspend the elections...or that he was the fucking antichirst and various other bullshit...none of that ever happened.

    Actually I am, in point of fact, proof that stupid worldviews can be reformed.

    My entire post history from Day One to this one is exactly that process played out for you to see, you just are too heavily invested in your indoctrination - your own "bubble" to recognize it for what it is.

    FWIW, it's not like righties have always necessarily been like this. Remember when Trent Lott had to resign because he praised Strom Thurmonds failed presidential run at the guys 100th birthday party? What happened to that Republican party? :shrug:

    Yeah, there is: I don't hang out with any nuts. I get just what shoes is saying. I have a nephew I recently had to caution to research before repeating what sounds like 'conspiracy' theories.

    And my couple of 'leftie' friends go off the bend as often as they think I do but they've never called me bigot or misogynist, or evil or purposely meanspirited. Also, I specifically referred to my reading here on Wf, & as I mentioned I haven't ever logged into a facebook account so I've been spared those elements.

    I've never resorted to using the "evil" insult - and other remnants of conservaforge didn't/don't either in my observations - who am I forgetting?, probably they'd be religious extremists; not Bulldog. Did Chang use that label a lot back in the day?

    It can actually be dangerous to maintain friendships with conservative republicans as a person who might have diverse groups of friends. I have had friends threatened with being fired for associating with me outside of work. I have watched people with black and brown friends and sexual relations get passed over. That is not to mention the social pressure put on family members at church to get their relatives to conform to the proper conservative values.

    Conservatives often use social pressure as a weapon and force others to conform to their values in order to remain connected to a group. They use weapons such as exile and disowning family members to force conformity to their demands. Liberals are liberal and you cannot maintain liberal ideals like acceptance while hanging around with a bunch of people who run off those who they dislike.

    So when you come across republicans who would disrespect your friends or you because of their skin color, , gender identity, religion, nationality, sexuality, or whatever you either give up all that diversity or you let the Republican go their way because they are incompatible with everyone else. For instance I hang out with a lot of black people and I am not dragging around any friends with the traitorous southern swastika flag. It is a representation of slavery and racism. If you need to fly that shit I don't have time for you. There are millions of people I will never meet in this world. I am sure there are a bunch of them who are cool. I don't need to waste time on someone who clearly advertisises incompatibility with my values.

    I have also extended that to people who like Trump. If you are not disgusted by twitler's behavior at this poind then you can go to the back of the line.
