What does your post mean? What is "Gop is as good af"?


If you are on an anonymous board and want to make the opposing side look bad, you can do the hard work of arguing against them, or you can go the easier route of impersonating them in some dipshit way.

On an anonymous board, it's half smoke and mirrors. Never know which half.

I'm a Democrat and liberal. If I read something really stupidly written or far out from reasonable -- and purported to be from a Republican and/or conservative, I assume it's someone shining me on.

When I engage, it's limited to people who appear to be acting in good faith. I try to step around the bullshit.

This. And that “as good af” just doesn’t pass the sniff test.

As normal people watch our international stature diminished and Republicans swear people respect us more... I’d have to agree with you.


All you have to do is look at the foreign press to see the jokes and dismissal since the 2016 election. It's not good. Our gun violence problem alone has the rest of the world befuddled.

The rest of the world can plainly see that Trump and conservatives are an incompetent, hypocritical joke.

Lumping all conservatives together as a single monolith reveals the bigotry you portend to despise. Hypocrite.

What is Trump accomplishing? I'm actually asking, respectfully.


Asking again as this seems to have gone unanswered. Thanks.
