You do know conservatives don't think highly of people on the autism spectrum, right? Or hell, anyone else that's not a straight white neurotypical Christian male.


Well based on many of the constant broad generalizations I see about liberals and/or the left, I guess its not totally unfair to post something like this. I mean if thats ok than blanket generalizations of conservatives should be fine as well.

But that said, I do not think this is true of every conservative. I would say evangelical/fundie conservatives have a good concentration of those types...but they do not represent all the conservatives.

Tweeting about civil war is like Facebooking about starting an inquisition. No president of a "United" country wants more gun violence.

Bloodthirsty money grubbers. :evil: I got nothing.

I hate Trump and I hate most of his supporters, and if he becomes a dictator or actually starts a civil war like he threatened on twitter I will hate them a whole lot more.

Then you probably won’t be here much longer the the other times. Every get tired of repeating the same pattern over and over? It’s why I never believe your apologies.

Your previous post is a personal attack or very close to one.
You can’t attack trump supporters here so suggest you go find another site. Attacking groups is against wp policy as you are very aware.

You broke the generalize rule.

You can't make group generalizations.

You can't say "All conservatives are X".

You have to say, "Some conservatives are X".

I think this rule is in place to minimize hurt feelings.

Mod "Skillpaddle" is an expert at explaining this.

And yet that does not stop sly or JohnPowell from doing the exact same towards liberals, does it?

And I said MOST Trump supporters, not ALL. But whatever, I get it. This is nothing but a personal attack on me because I don't like Trump and the majority of people on this website do like him. :roll:

I don't necessarily hate conservatives, I just hate most Trump supporters. I mean I get it, you guys love your pottymouth of a president. But that's no excuse to be dicks about it just because Trump himself is a dick to everyone.


I hope you mean that you "hate most Trump supporters" figuratively rather than literally. I can't imagine hating a group of people that I've never even met. Since none of the people in that group even know you exist other than the ones you know personally, if you literally hate such people, who is hurt by your hatred of them? Are they hurt by your hatred or are you hurt by it?

I've broken the rule like 5+ times. :o

It's the hardest to remember, I think.

So the real general unspoken rule here is don't attack Trump supporters because they are free to talk s**t about liberals all they want? Yeah, I get it. :roll:

I do realize that this is a hard concept to accept. But deep down you know that even though it may feel good temporarily to counter one offensive remark with another, in the long run it damages you. Comebacks along the lines of “Well, what do you know, you idiot?” are not going to build your credibility or enhance your reputation for maturity.

I’ve never said liberals are dicks, asholes, nazis, bigots, or any other slurs or insults. I don’t attack them I don’t hate liberals either.
I’ve never even mentions Hillary supporters, Biden supporters, Bernie supporters.

I don’t consider them brainwashed loyal followers either.

They’d people I disagree with on few subjects and o point out a lot of they support said things and that’s what their own polls show.

I do same with conservatives.

I’m neither left or right.
I support trump cause he’s the least harmful choice. If trump is a Nazi so is Obama. I don’t think either are nazis

I certainly don’t view either as my enemy.

I had a sister in law, now departed, that was one of my most favorite people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in this life. I loved her dearly and she certainly thought highly of me. Here's the thing: she and I had polar opposite views on politics. I think it's sad that for many people today it seems that they only tolerate being in the same room with people that think like them. That goes for some people on the 'left' and some people on the 'right'. So many missed opportunities to share life with others.

You're right, Magna.

People can stay good friends if they avoid the points they differ on where possible, but respect each other's opinions.

Talk about the wonderful things you have in common!

I have different views to most of my family members but talk to them about stuff I know they like to hear about, while steering away from stuff that can trigger arguments.

Honestly I wish I was right or left, women on both sides won’t ever date me even if they didn’t mind my life situation. People on both sides won’t be my friends.
