I just think it's hilarious that we're reliving the 1950s all over again. Soon we're gonna have blacklists and the Un-American Activities Committee. Pretty soon the John Birch Society is gonna be all over the talk shows talking about the Red Scare.
Why would you think I'm talking about you...?

I wonder if the victims know this?

We should ask the poor farmers of Afghanistan who was more "kind", the Americans or the Russians, when their family members were murdered by the two countries over the last 40 years.
Are you suggesting we should invite all of the refugees to the U.S. by way of apology? I concur. How many do you have room for?

I still don't understand why they are so upset about a "nothingburger".

I know, it’s weird. They’ve gone completely unhinged for nothing. It makes perfect sense.

Well, good. You should get something in return for fatally undermining national unity and faith in the nation's institutions.

I think that it is pretty clear by now that "Russian interests" are fully served by the liberals couching conservative American interests as "Russian interests".

..just 'sayin. Derp...

As things continue to look worse for Trump and his henchmen and Russia is more positively implicated in the conspiracy against us, there will be an increasing flood of shills and trolls from Moscow, who will come on this forum. We should not waste our time trying to reason with them. The forum management doesn't seem to be any more able to deal with them, than our electoral system has been effective in blocking their counterparts among the hackers.

Why are you insinuating that I’m a Republican apparatchik?

There is no such thing as reasoning with a Troll. They measure their success by bumps/views and time a thread is active and don't care how anyone responds.

If you suspect such a post your best bet is not to respond at all.

The liberals should get it over with and declare civil war.

What I'm confused about, if liberals feel that "Russia stole the election" and that Conservatives are resistant to that fact, you know being clueless Russian agents and all... why it is that liberals don't just organize and declare civil war??

There isn't going to be a resolution to this...

The liberal claim de facto declares that conservative voters have lost their free agency and therefore their vote is invalid.

In other words, the liberals have declared that our democracy is corrupt. The conservatives are never going to agree in a manner that allows for any type of major ground be given toward this narrative.

So, again, why is it that liberals do not make a valiant attempt to "take back" democracy and declare civil war instead of producing a lot of hot air and meaningless disruption?

There's a time to man up or shut up. To me, it seems that the liberals have come to a place where they should man up. I mean, a declaration of an invalid election is about as dire as it gets from both perspectives. So, again, I think the liberals are in a place where talking has about run its course of usefulness. Show us the fiber of your fabric, libs, and definitively take back what is right!
