(34,880 posts)I can't really post there yet and it is damned slow to load so I can only read a little but it is better than being here these days.
I live in Kansas. I am used to people disagreeing with me. It never bothers me all that much because I am used to it. I can spend an entire day going round and round with someone and keep my cool. That is because most people will not treat you like scum just because you disagree. I have never had a right winger here come up to me after I lose something and call me a loser. Only once has someone denied me their hand for a shake after and interview (on TV that was great). There is rarely any taunting except from the most disgusting teabaggers. THOSE people you can always count on to act the way we are being treated here by the other side, and I do mean OTHER side. While there is not one single thing that HRH stands for (that I can even believe that she stands for or maybe she does just for now even if she did mean it, kinda or sorta) she consorts with the worst people who have ever crossed paths with our government and the people that support her are calling us losers and acting all pretentious?
As I said, I can take losing because it happens almost every time here in my state. I can take being friends or at least be nice to those who disagree with me but I will not stand to be treated like I have seen others treated over the last few days here. It has not happened to me or if it has I have not seen it. I only hid people who had nothing to say but hateful, untruthful crap because they were not productive and really, I would can them in real life so why take it here? They will never be off that list because there was not reason to ever read their stuff again. If a site is so full of that many people who are people I would never ever even consider being around IRL then why stay?
I will come back and read some things, it is a great site for getting news and if you can stay off the political forums and just read the Latest Page without reading comments you can be informed better than anywhere else I have ever found. In all these years I have had one hide and that was in 2004, one post this year went to a jury and was not hidden but it is time for me to find a new favorite home place before I risk becoming like them. It is getting too hard to control myself these days. I simply cannot stand the attitude. If this is a shade of what is to come I think I may just tune out for good.
Just to be clear to those who read this and think it is funny. We, or at least I am not leaving because we are sore losers we are leaving because every thing we have been fighting for cannot ever happen if the attitudes expressed here are allowed to run this country. We don't hate anyone but you obviously do otherwise you would never act the way you are acting now. Today did it for me.
