No one has tried harder to be kind to people with differing political views than my own. I would have given credit and been respectful of opinions even if I disagreed with them, but didn't get that chance.
I blame a lot on the media and the general apathy of other parties.
It doesnt help when such toxic and false messaging is being pumped into the public.
A lot of the shit flung here is personal also, from users who have been posting with each other for years (baggage) I rarely post in politics and was kind of shocked by the flurry of spam and hate. OH WELL.. lesson learned lol
Lily and Murd. I was "friends" with them on a more real life level.
When they failed to beat me down into agreement with them, they went pretty damn rabid.
I have them on ignore because I'm NOT going to get drug down into some ghoulish and toxic drama on a public forum with two petty and controling narcissists who are only spewing out of some need to "punish" and get some sort of "revenge" for the perceived by them wrongs I've committed in not abandoning my values. Values they put effort into NOT understanding.
The fact theyve chosen to get so personal and hateful when they could simply argue their stances in a convincing and compassionate manner speaks volumes.
Their toxic rage here towards me isnt shared by or supported by the other leftists. Some of which have told me as much privately they do not support or condone those two in that mess. They dont like families brought in and all that dumb shit.
They all should take note on that behaviour and understand it wouldnt be different for them if/when these two inevitably turn on other leftists and they really should be careful what sort of private conversations they have with these two. Those two lie about people. I'm not some specail case here.....this is how they deal with conflict. If they cannot control you, they go off to control how others view you.
