The powers to be are sitting back laughing their arses off. All an illusion of choice. Just as planned. A divided population is much easier to control.

One of the most true statements in this thread.

Not if it ends up changing your life. Politics is important, it is our future, our freedom, our lives. Maybe you are wealthy and connected enough to be fine regardless of what happens politically, most of us are not. I am living it now and it can easily turn worse really fast depending on who is in charge.

Why even post here if it is no big deal.

POC went from "slightly weighted to the right" to "very heavily weighted to the right". Since left of center posters wandered off for the most part, any disagreement with Trump supporters typically results in a big pile on. The MAGA crowd went from Trump support to Trump worship (there have even been posters that said he was sent by God). With the impeachment, perhaps a few left of center posters returned to see what the temperature is. I'm not sure I would call it the most mud flinging but maybe the MAGA crowd aren't used to it.

Sure, there are very FEW people on the right who are very extreme/hateful, but we have absolutely NOTHING on the hateful left. It's not even close.
You're not allowed to hammer on the hate of the left by starting out with "I hate".

Whichever party isn't in the White House is the rabble rouser. Does the left play identity politics? Yes of course. It's just that the styles differ.

I do not think I have seen one mod who tilted to the Trump side. All of them have tilted the other way as far as I have been able to tell.

It's been like this since 2015. OP, you've been here that long... weird that you think it's much different now.

I'm sure you remember the power outage here in SD County a few years ago? You couldn't buy gas, all of the stores were either locked down or emptied out within a couple hours, people were crying like babies and knocking on my door for flashlight and candles. Pathetic.

And you're being kind to say you will go rescue them....not me. Not to be cold-hearted, but I have enough supplies/food/gas/propane put away for my family, not everyone else's....
Oh I remember it well. I had two gensets running. I have 80 gallons of fuel in my boat and 8 5 gallon cans in the shed. When there is a big quake here all hell is gonna break loose. We got lucky that outage only lasted a day.

Have the P&OC veterans ever seen anything like this?
When you say "mud," have you tried to make a distinction between posts that are either just an insult or the poster's opinion, versus posts that provide facts, sources, and statistics?
