despite what you may read in right wing media - they're just trying to get you fired up (and it seems to be working).

Ladies and gentleman of the forum, refer hereby to what I said previously about liberals’ attempts to rationalize me away.

In fact, as a perspicacious observer with no political party attachments, I myself independently reached my above-quoted conclusion. I actually have not seen anyone else saying what I said; I am the first and only, to the best of my knowledge. If anyone else said the same thing, I must have missed it. But no—that cannot be!—it is impossible! I must be regurgitating agitprop from some mysterious dark force, vaguely identified as “right-wing media”.

Just remember that I am the same nullius whose cultural and political forum oeuvre more usually consists of neoclassical nude statues of Phryne, Nietzschean condemnations of Christianity, rage against American world-police invasions of countries that are not America, and anti-feminist tirades that squarely blame men for inventing feminism. (Because I know history. Feminism is men’s fault, and men need to take responsibility for that.) Surely, I am one to parrot whatever the “right-wing media” (!) brainwashed me to say. Roll Eyes

I might have believed you a couple months ago. But now I think that you were trying to appear as if you had no preference at all who won the election when in reality you very much wanted Trump to win.

But it seems like you basically stopped trying. A few weeks ago you started getting sloppy, repeating right wing media talking points basically word for wor and framing everything as if the Liberals are evil and Conservatives the victims. And recently you've just been openly pushing right wing debunked conspiracy theories as if they were settled fact. Pretty sure you're a Trump supporter and you've been one all along. I've noticed similar transformations in OgNasty and Mindtrust since the election happened. Trump really attracts the angry internet trolls.

Pretty sure that's a pretty common thing for people to do now. Now that the election is over and Biden has officially been inaugurated more and more people who vocally supported Trump are going to backtrack on the claim to try to get back into cahoots with establishment Republicans.

Curious on what people think of me over the years, as I know that I've visibly shifted in some of my views and have become more sympathetic to more moderate views. Maybe I'll start a thread on here where yall can roast me into oblivion regarding my shift.

I personally think that the Senate won't find Trump guilty of anything. Republican support is beginning to climb back up for Trump and he'll most likely be able to get his allies in the Senate to say that the country must move on and allow healing to occur. That's the angle I see people using with the most success.
