Thanks for bringing this up.
What I've noticed over the past year is that (some) people ... such as JO, SHINY, SECOND, and WISHY .... people who are otherwise sensible, mostly good-hearted people have become progressively more and more unhinged in their thinking. (Not you and THUGR, tho. You two are trolls and have been trolls for as long as I can remember. You don't get any credit for being anything other than a troll, and you might even be sockpuppets. And RF is the latest addition to the "troll farm".)

But using common sense, do you really believe that Russia would waste their resources planting a mole here, on this no-account scifi fansite, waiting for the day (14 years later) when "their" candidate might have a shot at the Presidency in order to reach a couple dozen people?

It's gotten to the point (JO, ARE YOU READING THIS?) where JO apparently thinks that KIKI, SIX, JSF, and I are all here at the behest of the FSB!

*******

Moral indignation/ outrage has short-circuited several common-sense units, I think. But what are people so outraged about? It's been such a scattering of the important and the trivial, it's hard to make sense of THE thing (or maybe the several issues) that are driving people. And please, don't say "Trump". That's not a good answer.

What I would like to do, for anyone who cares to answer what, specifically, drives them nuts about Trump, isn't to argue but to ASK QUESTIONS. I would like to keep on asking questions until I feel that you, or I, have gotten to the heart of the problem.

Are you specifically asking only reactionary Liberals, or also reasonable folk?

Most of what annoys me is what we already were afraid of before the Election.

It's hilarious watching you try to cover your asses after getting them handed to you.

lol.

What are you talking about?

Trump is president. His approval rating is on the rise even amidst the illegal immigration scandals. Supreme Court will be voting against ultra-liberal policies for generations after he dies. Democrats have doubled down on everything that got Trump elected in the first place and are losing... they probably won't even take the house back at this rate (which is bad for all of us, IMO).

In what world do you think your pathetic insults and constant hyperbolic cries of Nazism means you're handing anybody's ass to them?

Clown.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

Says the person who posts images of the mutilated corpses of children and says it's the same as posting sounds of children after they were separated from their parents, and then accuses other posters of being in snuff films. You set the standard for "lost their shit" on this board.

And don't think we haven't noticed you deflecting from the Russian bot fueled fakery that is the walk away BS. Nice try!

TROLL REPORT:

"Yesterday I posted about the fake “walk away” movement and was pounced upon constantly by “Trumpers” defending it. I checked now. ALL those accounts went inactive once it was night in Russia but day in the USA. And several have ceased to exist. Coincidence?

Nyet!"

It's a fact, not something that can be debated.

Oh, yeah, wow. Too bad this isn't Twitter, so your argument falls apart.

There are a lot of flash in the pan "movements". They flare up and die very quickly, without leaving any real impact, including those poor kids in FL who thought they were going to make a difference with gun control. Changing things in the USA is like running thru jello ... it takes persistence and lots and lots of energy. Even the #Metoo movement seems to have lost momentum.

My impression of #walkaway - which I already posted- is that this is more about self-recognition- recognition that people who have already "walked away" aren't alone, but part of a trend. But, as I posted, I don't think it will actually change many minds, since people have already divided up on the issue of left-wing authoritarianism.

Yep it has been confirmed, this is one more of many Russian propaganda troll threads. So let me be the first to suggest we just walk away.

I propose a counter effort, this one real though (of course). Actual registered Republicans who have had enough of this disgusting sack of sh*t represent us and will put their name on record. Such as George Will and on and on.
