I AM thinking outside this forum. If the "libtard" users on this board are trying to get people to better understand why the dear leader is the greatest thing since sex, calling anyone who attempts to even discuss it "libtard" isn't going to help.
I have some dear friends who are supporters of the dear leader and who are quite conservative. She's pretty active on facebook and had several very negative comments about liberals, ala libtard. She also has her own business. I sent her a private message and asked her if she would turn away business from a liberal....because many of her posts were doing just that. And I pointed to the "libtard" and "snowflake" memes she would repost. She doesn't call me a tard personally - but the point is clear about her feelings on liberals in general, but I very politely tried to tell her the impact this might have on someone who is considering using her businss.
Compare that to my very liberal ex wife. She is a realtor and does a lot of 'marketing' via her facebook page. There isn't a single political post on her page. She won't even "like" a politically charged post. To her, money is money, whether it comes from a liberal or a conservative. She's not trashing parks...she's not burning down buildings...she's just carrying on. But SHE gets lumped into the "libtard" group that doesn't post on these boards. But posts implying that she is a "tard" or "snowflake" because she doesn't embrace the occupant of the white house.
Now....here's the thing - our mutual friend who is very anti liberal runs a marketing support type of company....the type of things my ex would use in HER business. But based on Facebook posts, she doesn't. People say Obama divided this country, but Obama didn't make our friend post all this anti liberal bull crap. Obama didn't make her post that liberalism is a mental disorder. Obama didn't make her cite Ann Coulter or Ted Nugent in liberal bashing. And it cost her business. My ex is willing to sell a house to someone with a car festooned with "Make America Great Again" on Monday and turn around and sell a house to someone with a Coexist, Bernie, Hillary, and Impeach the dear leader (cannot bring myself to type his name) on Tuesday.
That's the thing about these boards. I TRY to point out what I feel is a flaw in the president and his behaviour. I have said (and believe) that he is mentally unstable. I said that I believe his policies are going to hurt the middle class. I am very critical of the man and his policies. But I try to be respectful of the people I am trying to debate. And the typical response calls me or anybody who thinks like me a libtard.. And someone calls me out when I post the single word "tard". I hate to have to clarify but by posting tard, I am posting the only thing I got out of that post. Try some other words like "I disagree because". But they never do. It's straight to tardville.
As for red X's...if I had a nickle for every red X I have received, I would be rich. I could have bought a new car from The X's from DNTULSA alone.
