I was referring primarily to this site since the lefty pollsters and educated experts were all proved wrong by the election results...
Actually, if you weren't cherry picking, you might have noticed the running dialogue between me and two specific posters here...who, others have pointed out seem to be behaving exactly as I described

I see. I thought you were actually attempting intelligent commentary instead of the usual right wing rant.

I've been away for a bit... and I'm so goddam sorry I bothered checking in.

I don't harbour any illusions I've been missed, most of the folks I interacted with around here left long ago too, those that remain probably remember little more than my jack boots tromping around trying to get you to act like humans... til I handed that pointless endeavor off, tired to the bone of asking people to treat each other with decency here.

I used to like to lurk around in here, sifting through the crud for the pearls among swine, info to educate myself with, links to other points of view, opportunities to open my mind - but it became increasingly tiresome to do the work for such little payoff; Iike so many others, I returned less and less often.

Ha - it's almost ironic - I thought I'd find some discussion here that might help me put some perspective on what's going on to the south of us. Unlike what I'm seeing here, I genuinely want to KNOW what drove millions of good people to choose Trump - they need to be heard, and we need to figure out how to meet the gap without resorting to the worst end of the continuum for a solution, and quell such drastic reactions here at home... by looking for reasonable people and solutions to meet that gap.

NO extreme will ever meet the wants and needs of any nation.... and I came here looking for the middle ground?

wtf was I thinking?

I'm completely sickened by the racist, misogynistic posts in this thread.

There are human beings reading this sh!t who actually have to live in the presence of that kind of inhumane treatment - (I'm one of them, btw - because when you talk like that about any woman, you represent your opinion of all women) directed at us daily.

I've no doubt that all of you flinging this filth would be the FIRST to howl if it was directed at you or women you love. But in order to be considered in any way real or worthy of protection from this kind of assault, women must first be thought of in some kind of context that is important to you. F*ck the rest of 'em, right?

It's all moot anyway; y'all make me laugh ... as if any of you old-assed, ugly douchbags could just snap your fingers and get laid - even by an ape. I'd love to see pics of you on a public forum with a bunch of women detailing all the reasons they find you disgusting, unattractive, and therefore of no obvious value.

The fact that this is even a subject of discussion in ANY context - let alone in relation to what's best for a nation - one that has huge impacts and influence on broader global issues - speaks to why I can't stand this place anymore.


F*ck. Every. Single. One of you who are trashing women and races - even the ones silently reading this and saying nothing - that's why it prevails - silence is akin to condoning.

Maybe if you felt better about your own accomplishments and purpose in life, you wouldn't need to roam around in forums flailing your tiny hands at women and people of colour who happen to have more guts, determination, and ****ing honour than all of you together can fit on a single one of your itty bitty d!cks.

Zan out - and I hope none of you stumble out of this hate-soaked echo chamber.

I am so happy now that I see the forum isn't also just sitting by saying nothing, as I
was beginning to think this sort of thing was just being accepted as the everyday chit chat of
many of the posters on this forum.

I felt and still feel so disgusted and disappointed in these people who think it is not only funny
but somehow ok to post such pictures and also keep referring to a wonderful woman in this world,
in such a disgusting and disrespectful manner.

thank you for reassuring me that, on this board, this sort of behavior is not acceptable.

It was women voting for Trump that got him the Presidency. It's no mystery. Apparently they don't feel the same way you do about him.

BTW it wasn't men who called her "an ape in heels" to begin with. It was other women.

Maybe you need to be asking other women why they are so judgmental of other women?

Women raised under the protection of white male privilege (you can bash/assault/rape/restrict/mock/catcall any woman except one of mine) have no f*cking clue what they're talking about, or what they're wishing upon their sisters.

They chose from the basest, most primal place - fear - just like the men fighting to keep the playing field so incredibly uneven.

Until they find the courage to look outside their own state of grace that exists ONLY because of the men in their lives, I lump them in with other misogynistic racists until they've walked the same path.

... and frankly, I don't give a rat's a$s about anybody's opinion - male or female - who hides behinds racism... or any 'ism... to justify any weak, lazy behaviour that denigrates another human being rather than looking for ways to make room for everybody on this planet, equally.

I include many women in that statement - many of them take the opposite tack, and verbally brutalize all men - that's just as ridiculous, and not my game. I fight for mens' rights in regards to divorce and custody issues regularly, and concretely. I combat man-bashing where it crops in my path; how can we ask men to look deeper if we're not willing to?

Make no mistake, my post was not directed only at men, it was directed specifically at the men in this thread who are responsible only for what harmful behaviour flows out of their mouths and their keyboards. (If there were women contributing to that in here, I was directing it to you even more!)

Regardless - if anything I wrote applies to you, yes you, wear it til ya change it.

Talloola! I am surprised to see you still roaming about this place - wonderful to 'see' you, I hope you are well! xo

Thanks Zan. I don't see the racism of it but I do see the judgement based on looks.

It was a leap to say it was racist.

If the women had laughed about calling her a pig, cow, buffalo, walrus, moose, whale or WHY would it have been racist?

You have been believe me.

How is the job hunting coming along?

Don't blame yourself. You weren't here when the place turned into Stormfront North.

Is this racist too?
