Get over yourself Snowflake!
Very few 'questions' get any response on this board. Mostly it's 'crickets'.
If it doesn't fit the narrative it's heresy.
I will look through your posts...
If I think a question has merit other than a weak rhetorical snark maybe.

My questions were an honest effort at actual discussion. I know your positions- you’ve made them very clear.
I’d just like to know HOW you arrived at those positions.
That will help for us to have a constructive debate about issues, rather than throwing poo at each other. This board used to be FULL of great discussions.
Now it’s just basically folks pointing out the Trump administration being out of control, and folks bending over backwards to defend the indefensible. I’ve always been of the option that when something egregious happens, you should point it out, because otherwise you essentially “normalize” the behavior. And it goes far beyond policy with this administration. They’re doing their damndest to tear down the institutions that the country has relied upon since its founding.
It’s been an exhausting 4+ years, but I refuse to succumb to all the madness. And if Trump was a Democrat, I’d feel the same way. The amount of former administration folks and republicans that are staunchly anti-Trump is astounding right now.
I miss the days when we could actually debate policy, and we all had a shared set of facts as a base for our discussions. Post Trump, we can’t even agree on the underlying facts. And that’s by design- if you destroy what the actual truth is, you can more easily substitute your own. Even if it’s false. The Trump admin has essentially perfected Russian disinformation techniques, and overwhelmed everyone with madness. It’s impossible to keep up with it all, and that is also by design.
I’m just trying to understand what your reality is, basically, and knowing your news sources is a big component of doing that. Believe it or not, I read a LOT of the stuff you read, even though I obviously don’t agree with a lot of it.
Also, I’d offer a suggestion for you and a few others. If you disagree with something, post the source you’re relying upon that forms the basis for your disagreements. Facts can actually be established, and it’s more constructive to start there so we can discern what reality actually is.
We’re pretty far down the rabbit hole in terms of being in a post- truth world, and that is vey dangerous, IMO. In other words, let’s establish a baseline BEFORE the true discussion happens about an issue/event.
Let’s make this board great again!
