How about a one-hour "censorship" free period?

Trump changed all that.

And your definition of ignorant individuals are those who disagree with your politics. Got it.

Nope, they are people who believe and say stupid things. Got it?

And YOU, in your superior wisdom, decide what is stupid. Got it.

Look man - if the Trump supporters in the politics forum are representative of Trump supporters overall, then I'm afraid it is an objective fact that you are a stupid group of people.

You are petty, mean, cruel, racist, stupid, incapable of making a logical argument. You are also irritating AF because your posts are 100% disruptive rather than furthering any substantive conversation.

Sorry that you feel those of us with ears, eyes, brains, and hearts aren't able to call it for what it is.

If you're trying to get normal people to abandon DCUM entirely then a one-hour MAGA MAGA MAGA free for all is a great idea. I can't wait to hear how many hats people have been persecuted over in that time.

Unbelievable. It is the liberals who are cruel, hateful and ARROGANT people who can only come up with insulting and untrue accusations (I'm "mean, cruel, racist, stupid, etc.') - which the moderator is only too thrilled to allow. (Let a conservative call a liberal a "lib," though, and all hell breaks loose.) The ironic thing is that it is YOU who are trying to drive off normal people who simply don't agree with leftist policies with your hate and venom. You honestly think that anyone who objects to your opinion of liberal policies doesn't have ears, brains, eyes, and heart? Good Lord....the arrogance among some of you is nauseating.

My fear is that the liberals on this forum are representative of how liberals actually think. If so, I am more convinced than ever that it would be a horror if one of them gets into power. If it were up to YOU, you'd probably have those of us who disagree with you wear yellow stars so you could more easily single us out for unfair treatment. Many of you libs already have said you wouldn't hire us, or let us into your house.

I am printing out this page to show to my moderate friends. Let them see what leftists really think of them.

Yes, he and his supporters celebrate ignorance.

Speaking about the fourth Category 5 hurricane during his presidency:
“But a Category 5 is something that -- I don't know that I've ever even heard the term other than I know it's there. ”

That's not true at all.

One example of a true statement that Jeff took down.

Oh, please....there are hundreds. I haven't stored them before he takes them down.

But as an example, liberals were decrying how it was the "breaking point" to see that Trump is putting children in cages. I pointed out that Obama put them in cages in 2014, and liberals didn't consider Obama's action a breaking point. It was deleted.

This is a great example. Someone starts a thread discussing the importance of an action Trump has taken. The immediate response from the right is whataboutism. I actually think that if I allowed the one-hour period that you suggest, none of you would post because 90% of your posts are whatabout responses to threads which with you disagree. If you don't havre posts to whatabout, I am not sure you will have anything to say.

Moreover, the difference between what Obama did and what Trump is doing is significant and has been repeatedly explained. If you have not understood this difference yet, you never will. So why should I allow a thread to go off-topic into a discussion of Obama when you will not change your mind no matter what? The right-wing tactic here is primarily to disrupt. The idea that you are posting great rebuttals that make liberals look bad is a myth that exists only in right-wing minds. Mostly what you guys do is divert and hijack. One the few occasions you actually post something that is not a whataboutism, it is likely to be racist and bigoted.

+ ONE MILLION. The right wing people (and this is not all republicans) who do this are masters of spin, obsfucation, and the red herring. Facts are irrelevant to them. Then, they whine, cry, and scream about their rights. They are purposefully and willfully ignorant and deceitful. They are snowflakes who can't stand to be held to an actual topic.

If they want to debate or pontificate based on facts or actual political philosophy thats a different story. Thank you Jeff for holding them to account for their BS and apologist manipulations

LOLLLLL

This is about Trump supporters not moderates. See what I mean - illogical and incapable of conversation.

And I'm sure you have tons of "moderate" friends who are dying to see a printout of some anonymous message board. Christ, you are tedious. Go wear your MAGA hat in public nd beg someone to be mean to you so you can whine about it.

I don't have a MAGA hat. Why in the world would you think I have one? Just because I don't like liberal policies you lump everyone into the same basket. Libs really are a nasty crop of people.

Thank you. I really do see that Jeff has convinced his liberals here that those of us who don't toe the liberal line are cruel and racist enemies, worthy of all sorts of condemnation and ridicule. He might enjoy seeing the hate spewed toward conservatives, and therefore he cheers it on, but.....big but .....IT WON'T WIN THE ELECTION.

I’ll make a deal with Trump supporters here. If you post something that doesn’t contain profanity, isn’t just name-calling/personal insults (which including accusing people of “Trump Derangement Syndrome”), doesn’t try to derail the discussion with irrelevant topics (e.g., arguing about immigration in a thread about environmental policy) and/or whataboutism, and isn’t based on patently false information, I won’t report it for deletion. Okay?

THANK YOU. You literally cannot have a single discussion without them taking a giant dump on everything and then crying that we call it a dump.

And now BOO HOO they're going to print out the pages (?!) and show them to their friends (??!!) to prove that liberals are mean. I tell you what - I would love to be a fly on the wall when that happens. Aggrieved Trump lover - please, record the conversation and upload it so we can hear how it goes.

NP This thread is sad and hilarious. A pretty good snapshot of the country. Personally, I don't want to see Republicans outed. I'm not Republican. Registered Democrat, but both parties are cringeworthy. I really want to read discussions from both sides because I've never been more moderate than I am now.

There was an outstanding thread many months ago. The first few pages were balanced discussion from both parties without insult. IIRC, it became a meme swap and was deleted. Some appealed to Jeff here, but the thread had derailed too far. I wish the posters from those first few pages could reconvene and continue reasonable discussion.

From Jeff's response (23:38)

As for the insults that many Trumpsters seem to be bothered by, I have a question. Are you aware of who your president is? If so, you are a really strange group to be bothered by name-calling. Moreover, for the bazillionth time, I don't read every post. You guys refuse to report anything. So, how do you expect me to know about those posts? This has become an infuriating routine. You repeatedly refuse to report anything but then complain that I haven't removed it.

This is it in a nutshell! Trump's unrefined, knee jerk and damaging words fall on deaf ears of Republicans who refuse to see that he's created a platform of hate. Dems think he's stupid, yet I wonder if he's brilliant enough to purposely divide an entire country in a few short years. We've gone absolutely mad. Stop and discuss with a level head. To those who don't report, shame on you but don't whine about any of it.

I report myself when I want my OP deleted because the antagonists choose to cloud any valuable feedback. To Jeff's point about the lack of reporting, it seems to me DCUMers doth protest too much. Report! It's anonymous. But I think you may enjoy the contempt and vitriol.

PP - did you show the printed out post to your friends? I'm eager for an update.
