Political Thread is what is it is at this point. It started out as right leaning, then went full on conspiracy/everyone is against us territory after their guy won. After the insurrection, I read that it was BLM who caused it, then that it was just a few idiots but who could blame them since the election was stolen from them, then that it wasn't supporters of the former President, but actually a leftist plot. And finally, it wasn't actually an insurrection at all and was being blown up by the media, so the media is really to blame.
If you think it's unhinged, blame the mods. They stopped checking in on that thread and allowed the nuts to take over. Some there run with every conspiracy, some have blamed the black community for America's problems, some keep bringing up civil war as if they want it to happen, some have said that liberals must be stopped by any means and one of these days they're going to "push too far and be sorry", and one particular poster proudly said repeatedly that he'd like to shoot liberals on sight, and yeah, all were still able to post afterward. If someone pulls that **** on a public forum, a quick timeout isn't going to do much to change their warped view on politics.
Having said all that, I'm sure the mods don't want to constantly babysit that one thread, but they allowed it to become what it is today. So...thanks various mods for ignoring the crazies for years! I'll steal one from GYERO - Good job! Good effort!
