Why do I feel tomorrow you are going to wake up and say "I said what?!"
Hey, look, we never really had a major problem at all due to politics. It was the Kavanaugh thing that united the forum Right and Center from the Left (meaning not just primemuscle, howard, straw man, but also middle-ground people who are independent, like poly and dos equis - who moved to the right). That issue divided both boards so sharply that it spawned a 33+ page thread in less than three weeks, which is a lot in a subforum where that bibles in Tennessee took four years to get to that point. For whatever reason, some of us resented the way society took Ford's side and attacked this man, and others stood by her and chose to believe she was being honest and true. It shook the entire country, dude, not just this forum. The emotional and political trauma it caused will last a LONG time. Republicans are PISSED about it and will vote accordingly. Democrats would be smart to do the same. It may be a blue wave but it has to block a red tsunami that's unleashed not just typical white people resentment but every racist, bigot, hater, beater, shooter, and generally frustrated male under his banner.
The people on the left may be bad. But I have no illusions about our side. We have some extremely nasty folks that a lot of people don't know about.
