    I have no enemies on this forum.

    I do not dislike anyone here. Maybe some people dislikes me.

    This forum is more of a support group then a virtual battlefield. A place for people to express their opinions. Unlike Big Social Media, a small forum has no real influence.

    On Twitter, there are people with hundreds of thousands to tens of millions followers. Twitter is a virtual battleground. On Twitter, there are hordes of stalkers.
    Progressives are Passionate about establishing Totalitarian Tyranny.

    Conservatives are Apathetic about maintaining a Free Society.

    Never been there, or Facebook. or TikTok, or Twitter, so I wouldn't know. Do you think they or any other social media swing a lot of votes, or do they just reinforce herd stupidity already extant?

    I'm curious why the thread comment and query. Lots on here luv me, I can always tell, as they have nice things to say, and read my thoughts and opinions with deep and respectful interest.

    As for social media it usually reinforces rather than enlightens. Hate is more powerful than luv for many, especially anti democracy republicans. Autocracy found a home. I still have a Facebook account but rarely use it. Almost forgot I have twitter account too. I love to congratulate politicians who wish Trump was still their fearless leader. I guess draft dodgers aren't fearless though.

    I've read TikTok is full of hate kinda like 'Gab if you've ever viewed it. I seriously wonder if some of these sites are not RT funded or supported? I'll have to check it out.

    The irony for those of us who were here before the internet and even helped build it, is what a complex, ambivalent tool it has become. Hate dominates, cults proliferate, conspiracies are everywhere, but lots and lots of good stuff too if you look.

    I think others pretty much respond to you in the same vein that you respond to them.

    I am certainly not your enemy and often enjoy your perspective because it is different. I don't always agree and we both get that is fine.

    I think it further polarizes people. The sad thing is a lot of the comments that set SM abuzz are made by kids who then move on to the next cause of the day.

    I think most of the 'racism' is mostly put out by Democrats; it's their only gimmick any more and they need to keep it going, and so do black politicians. As Moynihan said, the lack middles class, as represented by Maxine Waters and Al Sharpton, need those ghettos full of hood rats to extort bennies for themselves from the govt., which is why they have no incentives change the 'culture' of drugs, violence, family destruction. The commies also need the artificial conflicts for their culture wars, and the 'elites' need it to push their 'We Know Best' totalitarian agenda. It's a shallow fake facade over a corrupt crime syndicate's own racist operations and promotes violence.

    I dont see how you "put out racism" When most black people have said the have experienced it and most black males have said they have been stopped multiple times for "tail lights" or suspicion it may ring true for them. I am guessing you are not black and actually understand it better than someone like them. But any chance to blame libs for something is noted and filed. Gimmicks are fun arent they. Imply most teachers are groomers or promoting gays or offering books full of perversion and CRT. Or claiming all elections are now stolen by dems and we need a mulititude of laws to protect the likes of good patriots or like fla where he made a commision to watch it when his entire 67 Supv, of ELections said it was the most secure election ever. Or gimmicks like making anti woke laws or now telling women with more certainty their uteruses are now govt property at times. Or gimiicks like telling your consituents (must not say cult must not say cult) that illegals are pouring over the border and the press is your enemy and anyone that disagrees with said leader must be a rino. Must be..........even a traitor..........gimmicks are fun.

    To be absolutely fair, FK, the sorts of things Midcan says about conservatives and Republicans are as nursery rhymes and love notes when compared with what some of the fringe Right-wing members say about liberals and Democrats every day of the week.
