In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

Silencing opposition is alive and well

Conservatives don't get silenced so much as their extremists get banned off all major platforms and they have to use lesser known platforms that accept hate speech and misinformation that harms public health, open racism, etc. They get put in their place eventually, when they act up enough. Same thing happens on this forum.

Although you, American, are still cluttering up the forum with threads like this...can't be that shut-down now can we?

Oh, grow up.

For the past four years I’ve been called, on this forum either directly or lumped in as a whole, a pedophile, child killer, commie, socialist, that I hate America, etc.

And when I and others defend ourselves suddenly you all act like you are victims and become litttle snowflakes and post quotes about your victimhood.

Side note: John Wayne was a pu$$y. He went out of his way to not serve in the military and it’s widely known that his tough guy act was just that; an act.

Want a real tough guy? Try James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek). THAT guy stormed the beaches on D-Day and got shot 6 times.

other tough guys included Charles Bronson: B-29 machine gunner-purple heart-25 missions over Japanese territory. Jimmy Stewart-DFC, bomber pilot WWII

both conservatives

Prove the O/Poster brought John Wayne up to stir the pot? I do not see it that way.

It really doesn't matter if John Wayne was the author of the quote.

It matters if the quote has merit and IMO, is sure as hell has been proven to be true.... Look to social media, high tech for a couple of examples of "They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them".

Ask me a question on a leftist position and I'll explain it without "canceling" you. Conservatives aren't getting "silenced" because we don't have arguments.

The discussion was accurately characterized as a Klan meeting. That characterization is of the posts, the "points", the rhetoric. No one knows anything about individual members.

Not in this case it isn't as the O/P added his own comments that you have chosen to ignore.

Now if he had only used the meme, you might have a point.

"Shut the **** up" worked great for us for a quarter of a million years.

CU made it legal to shout over others with money.

'Nuff said.

have you attended such meetings and thus are learned about how they proceed?

It's gotten to the point where their ideas have become so discredited, the only choice they have is to resort to violence in order to silence their opponents.

They are in desperation mode and if we don't as Americans, step up and put a stop to them, we are headed for a civil war.

Y'all wouldn't last three days in a civil war.

If I had just joined the board today, I would know all I need to know about the OP’s politics and sourcing acumen.

If the meme had been omitted you may have a point.

The OP is either ignorant of John Wayne’s politics or not, neither casts them in a good light.

So more Rabid Right deflection.... :cautious:

This is the Rabid Right whine about the bad ol' libruls silencing people. I smell desperation. But to the point, no one is silencing these outlets from reporting now are they???? :unsure:

But Greene and McCarthy are trying to threaten telecoms into silence like mafia bosses... ✌️

Many of the founders had similar beliefs. We're removing their statues to signify everything they believed in was wrong. Do you believe that the Declaration of Independence was wrong?

Very true.
Many, like John Wayne, who were celebrities held racist beliefs, and remained popular until their deaths. It was generational.
Today people like Wayne would not even get an acting role if they were known racists.

Going after you for making this thread because you chose to use Wayne's prophetic words is just another attempt by liberals to shoot down the messenger.
 
the problem with crying about "Silencing opposition" is most of the time its made up and whats being claimed is not reality and or doesn't exist. Just like blind hate for CRT etc, claiming as a Christian I'm under attack or losing rights in this country etc . .

its laughable!

its just triggered tinfoil hat snowflakes crying over false narratives of phony victimhood.

Still smarting from that time you claimed that a professor said it was ethical for white people to kill themselves and tried to support it with an article that said that was someone else's statement and the professor you blamed called it "crazy"?

Professor teaches white people committing suicide can be an 'ethical' act

https://www.foxnews.com/us/professor-white-people-committing-suicide-ethical-act I doubt this is the only person that feels this way. The EXINCTION OF WHITE PEOPLE WORLD-WIDE, will soon be a mainstream concept like all the other crazy shit liberals think up. We already have BLM people saying...
debatepolitics.com debatepolitics.com

Do you feel that you were unfairly "silenced" when people pointed out the idiocy of the lies you were trying to sell, hence this thread? Or is it more of a generic throat-clearing?



At any rate, the rest of us are more than a little tired of listening to the "**** your feelings" insurrection-loving crowd whine about how they're supposedly the biggest victims.
 
Threads like this one remind me:

It's a fair characterization. Your implications about me personally and your proclaimed ignorance are not a counter-argument.
