Are There Any Republicans That Feel Welcome In This Part of the Forum?

[Red]

I just did a quick glance at the Trump thread and every single post is by a Democrat after 30 pages. How can you guys call others a cult when it's all you? @Red?

Cult-great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work

Dude, if you think any of my posts involving Trump is a demonstration of my “great DEVOTION to”…..Donald Trump, maybe we should create a new Trump thread and start over, lol.

I recall, way back in junior high and high school, loved American history so much. You know what they taught us in those bygone days, in yesteryear, lol? They taught us we were the guys who always wore the white hats. We were always on the side of “truth, justice, and the American way”( I think Superman stood for that specifically, lol)
Anyway, I sure bought in. Not long after, the Vietnam Era and Watergate kind of threw a monkey wrench in that idealistic, and, well…maybe the white hats was a stretch after all. It was called coming of age politically. For me, personally, it meant becoming radicalized, marching on Washington, and all those generational-enlivening events(you know, along with sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll, lol, hippies one and all).Entire generation went through that. And came out a tad jaded, or even woefully disillusioned on the other side.

But, then the Donald came along! And lo and behold, do you know what I rediscovered? I found out I was still idealistic toward my country! Unbelievable, I still thought we had something good going here, and along comes an authoritarian demagogue to remind me that a democracy could always go a lot further south than involving themselves in useless and wasteful wars, and more dangerous individuals could attain power than Richard Nixon.

You want to call it an obsession, that’s fine with me. I’m obsessed with the terrible crimes Donald Trump committed against the country I still love very, very much.
It hurts so very, very much to see all this happen to the country I still, apparently, hold to some pretty high ideals.

Arent you the one that pushed the Russia hoax for 7 years? Greatly devoted your life to a hoax? You know the Russia hoax that we now know was started as a political hit job? The hoax where Hillary with Obama blessings illegally obtained propaganda from a foreign agent who literally bought that info from Russia. Isn't that you? Didn't you sit here and push that hoax. Who's the threat? You fell for a blatant hoax. Crazy thing is... Hillary knew people like you would not question anything even though it was obvious. I tried to educate you about it a few weeks ago after you lied but you passive aggressively ran away per usual. I would be embarrassed if I were you too. You spent A LOT of time pushing your obsessive greatly devoted hoax that you embarrassingly fell for.

But hey... The only other people to arrest a political opponent during a race was the likes of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Arresting a political opponent is now ok with you. And I'm the threat? Not the ones following in Stalin's footprints. Not the ones that pushed a blatant and obvious hoax for 7 years. It's a ok for red avd Democrats to idiotically claim an election is stolen for 7 years but nobody else. Just you. Pushing your hoax is acceptable.

Funny thing about this thread is that republican posters who feel welcome on jazz fanz probably realize the toxicity of jazzy and dont feel welcome posting in this thread because they dont want to have anything to do with jazzy.

Yeah... That's definitely it. I remember the name as guys like you seem to obsess over this guy but I was curious who this guy is and it's most definitely his fault. The guy with 3 post since 2021 not the the victimizing bully referring to other posters as cultist everyday. It's not the ones who call others transphobes fault. It's not the poster calling Republicans white supremacists, racist, and all the other bigoted names you call them...it's a poster who hasn't posted in a year and a half. That's brilliant as usual fish. Well done.

That still doesn't explain why there's not a single Republican around here anymore though.

1. I can 99.99987% say the moderating crew has never made a decision on an infraction based on someone’s political affiliation. The site has existed for 25 years and I’m old so there’s a chance but the infractions given to my knowledge are based on the transaction and history of similar transactions at hand.

2. You want a single republican to come forward that feels safe. Fair. Isn’t the better question of a republican that does not? If anyone other than Steak feels this way, I would appreciate a DM.

3. Frankly I’m offended at the actions of Steak and others in recent threads. No secret. What’s the domain of this site? Good hell, let’s talk Jazz.

One more, related to my Jazz comment, we have the option to remove Gen Disc from your feed if you login. If anyone wants out of this cesspool, shoot me a DM too.

I like the general discussion forum, just not the political discussions. For example the Pete Peeve and Reverse Pet Peeve threads I always like to read. I wouldn't mind a political discussion thread that I could not have to see, but it's also not that big of a deal to just ignore those threads.

if you tried to have a decent political discussion then you are not jazzy fresh. Im sure that labeling other posters as liberal vultures with hypocritical BS is what you think is conducive to decent political discussions but others might not see it that way. Carry on.

Says the guy calling everyone cultist and alt accounts. You should look into the mirror of blatant hypocrisy. It's completely ok for you guys to call others names daily but when someone reacts in kind you play the victim.

And thank you Political... It's clear as day that not one single Republican feels welcome here. By all means though. If any other Republican feels different call me out. Sad thing is... Most have been literally bullied away so they are not around anymore. The proof is in the pudding... There are no conservatives here anymore. I mean... Where are they?

SteakNEggs, I believe it’s the kind of comment seen here, the respondent’s comments, in other words, that are the kind of attacks that go up your butt sideways. It’s very generalized, it’s not true, really. It’s the kind of generalization made in anger, without worry that it simply is wrong. I knew, the day of 1/6 itself, that many people outside the People’s House were there in the sincere belief that the election had been stolen, and their president, the rightful president in their heart and minds, was asking them to support him. They must have taken his beliefs very sincerely, and cared enough about their country to show up.

If you’ve ever seen The Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper interviewing Trump fans, at Trump rallies, he pokes fun at them, but in a gentle, not unkind way, and usually it goes right over their heads. Better that approach than the attitude expressed by the respondent to the tweet below.

And, you know, both sides go to generalizations like that, because of anger, because of frustration, because of fear of our nation’s situation. And you know what? Talk to many who respond it that manner, I’m certainly sure I have, and almost always immediately regret it, because I know better, and in my better moments, I know I know better, talk to those folks and so many know they are wrong, know they are overreaching, know that anger is driving their exaggerations and harsh, inaccurate generalizations. The kind left in anger by this respondent….



I like Kepler’s approach to Trump supporters. These poor folks….

There is a thread strictly dedicated to calling other posters transphobes. How is that right? Can I start a thread calling other posters names too? No... You may disagree but this is why the Republicans have left. Because it's ok and allowed to call people transphobes amongst other names around here with no merit other than bullying. It's acceptable for these guys to call Republicans all sorts of names such as cultist non-stop, every single day. Look at Red and page one... I mean... It may not seem like much to you but being called a transphobe for having a different opinion on the issue is NOT by any means civil. It's bullying plain and simple. It's a tactic to silence others. It's openly allowed though for what reason Jason? Then when someone calls other posters equally bad things... They get banned... For example what Al-O-Meter was banned for is no worse than calling someone a transphobe. It's not flattering at all, it's extremely insulting and it's not even frowned upon around here. It's literally allowed.

Am I wrong? Do you think calling other posters and Republicans cultist non stop is inviting? All because they support a candidate the posters here don't like? I'm surrounded by Trump supporters, to label these people cultist is nothing short of bigotry and hatred @Red by definition. These people sit and say how divisive Trump is but who's really being the divisive ones? You support a candidate, you are a cultist. You don't think children should get mutilated you are a transphobe. This type of behavior is this forum.

It's such a ridiculous and childish accusation lol. Because people believe Trump that they are a cult. How utterly dumb and petty Red. It's crazy how easily you can rationalize bigotry and hate all while crying complaining about Trump. You all are no different.

Especially when you all are literally trying to steal the next election by making up false crimes, like Russia, against Trump.

Here's one of the indictments against Trump where the FEC literally says there are no crimes. Yet you all have indicted him for it. You know... The DA that literally ran on taking down trump? Again... You are on the level of Nazi Germany with these tactics. I'm not calling you a Nazi but this is exaclty the type of **** Hitler did. Staling did. Mao did... YOu all have to dig up false crimes from 7 years ago.
