But there is a difference between Trump supporters and Clinton supporters. Otherwise they'd all be supporting and voting for Clinton. I suspect the Trump supporters on this forum are mostly silent...for the same reason the anti Trump posters left FR.
MOST of the neverTrumps on this board were either zotted outright from TOS or left because it was toxic, punitive and made very clear from the owner that we were not welcome to even lurk there.
The few Trump militants on this board - get their digs into the neverTrumps, but because of board policy - no one gets zotted or banned simply over whom they support, not support or ridicule, unless it crosses over into personal assault and bash-the-mods territory.
I'm not here to support Trump. I'm here (today) to bring awareness to how Trump voters, like me, not necessarily a "supporter", are being treated on this forum.
I'm certain there are generalizations being made because of the way FR has become so crazy, but if a distinction is not made, how do posters here know you aren't talking about them ahen you call them hateful and crazy? ( not you specifically)
I just think there needs to be some caution about not becoming that which you can't stand and fled from FR.
Not possible. We have no power to ban anyone or ginning up a mob start insulting you, threatening you and telling you to get off this site simply because you do not share in total, our complete political viewpoint. There's a big difference in running the risk of being banned over stating whom you support or posting anything seen as a negative about the creatures and cretins running for office.
Open vociferous debate is what has been eliminated from TOS for groupthink conformity. Open and heated debate still exists here, within set boundaries, despite the fact some may not like it.
Complaining about how you are 'treated' is often a tactic employed to silence opposition. The old place is just an echo chamber, and this place is not despite the fact the majority here are non-Trump refugees from there. Becoming what TOS became in the opposition to Trump alone is not likely here given the owners.
