Something I've noticed when spending time here on PPP, as well as some other sites, is the tendency of people on the Right to make liberal Americans the enemy. Not just the Democratic Party, or the candidates, electeds, leaders, or pundits, etc, but the voters and people themselves. While I know that there are plenty of liberals who view Republican voters with disdain, I've never heard "Own the Cons" said unironically. It's mostly "what is wrong with these people?" I don't like that view point but it's certainly not as heated as what Albwan posted. It seems that, on the Right, viewing people who disagree with you as the enemy is not just accepted, it seems to be expected. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are replying to an aging clone who understands little of what he posts and gets 100% of his info from fox while questioning nothing. He is absolutely the majority of the right over 70 years old. If he's under 70 he's just that much more dumb. Fox says I should be scared I is sure scared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not one side worse than the other in this regard. 1 hour ago, L Ron Burgundy said: You are replying to an aging clone who understands little of what he posts and gets 100% of his info from fox while questioning nothing.

Saying or implying that anyone who doesn’t vote with your team is bad or the enemy is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly the problem with American politics today and is why our political system has become dysfunctional. Social media has fueled much of the demonization of “those on the other team”. Too many people go down the worm hole resulting in ruined friendships, families, etc. In the end, we are all Americans who have different opinions on issues. No different than the differences Americans debated during our grandparents time. We are all just trying to get by and raise our kids in this changing world. To call the other side the enemy is to call your neighbor, kids, or relatives who think different than you, the enemy. Who wants to live in that miserable world? Not me. Life is too short. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever called those people out? There are several. They chime in only to throw in the latest line they learned from someone 1% smarter than them on the news or, if they can manage, Twitter or Facebook. Let's end with the irony of you whining about ageism in the Era of Joe Biden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same way when Trump was first in office the hate for him from the left was like a infectious disease that over took a ton of people . I can remember instances where people would completely disconnect them selves from family members that voted for or even agree'd with anything Trump related . I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the deal was & where that much hate could come from in such a short time sure i understand the guy was very arrogant & says somethings that came across as foolish but in comparison from then till now i feel despite his short comings his policy worked . Yet even though things were doing well & business people that i know along with my personal income was better than i have ever done before if you asked someone that didn't like Trump they were of the mindset that every thing sucked the economy, unemployment, anything & everything about him . Here it is over 2 years after he has been out of office & the left or Dems what ever name you choose to use still have this over abundance of hate for the man & i wish they would put this POTUS under the same microscope as they did then but it's very apparent to me & others that they don't . It's kind of you get what you give scenario from the right and or the left . Can you say Double Standard ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have a problem when people make fun of Biden’s age but it’s ok when you make fun of a poster’s age? Good job! 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 congrats @BillStime! Gott hand it to you, this election went a little differently than I thought it would.
