Every now and then it just pops into my head to go and see what you're all talking about, and even though I know half of it is going nowhere, I still just want to know what you're all up to. Sometimes I think I've turned into a proper nutjob, but then I think it all through again, and I think. nope, the way its being spun everywhere else just doesn't quite add up. If I'm mad, at least I feel like I've got interesting company...

We all we got now frens (Big gay hug to all)
Oh god.. why are you sticky!?
Why are you not?
I am now!
Me too!
Nothing is stopping you. It's still pretty awesome here in most places.
Come to Florida fren. We'll shoot guns and get a pint afterwards. Bonus no lockdowns and no masks.
I’m soooo envious of you, no mask? I can’t breathe with the diaper on my face Louisiana still mask mandate! Where I live stuff opened but not New Orleans bourbon street lockdown!
Lol where I live people don't even wear it in walmart or target. The target lady doesn't even ask if I need one anymore.
I actually walked into Marshall’s Sunday and didn’t have one on I was to busy talking to my husband 5 minutes later I looked at him and said I don’t have a mask on! And I got thru the door! 🤣 someone’s at the door to make sure you get a sanitized buggy! I laughed and said holy shit I’m not gonna wear it now either! I’m a rebel!!!
Most places in the south outside of the cities stopped caring a long time ago. Some never even tried.
Smiles in Portuguese 🇵🇹
Smiles in Australian 🙃
Wake up the normies Fren!
scary... I have spent the last 7 years deep in lefty land, and I'm not very brave online... I'm better face to face, but we're in full lockdown in the uk. I drop a little bomb into facebook every now and then when I can stomach the attack... Meanwhile, I have a daily training session with the husband as we do our circuit of the village... I figure if I can stand up to his razor sharp critique I can stand up to anyone...
If you want freedom and to live without a boot on your neck - you're among friends and allies.
We’re just “uneducated” and “hillbilly domestic terrorists” round here. You only get labels like that from commies when you’re onto their scum. Welcome.
We are family, the Aristocratic rule was ended by the Framers of the Constitution, that is why Socialists have to attack America and its Capitalism, we have proven that Socialism is stupid.
Me too. I'm a west coast Canadian, but I love the fundamental freedoms America wrote into their founding that Canada has never had...
Too bad they aren't being upheld.
Canuck here. We're going communist up here... don't want it to happen to you guys too.
Want to shit post in a glorious way? Find some liberal journalist in your country and get them to write articles about America's failed democracy after years of trying to build democracy in the middle east. How that the election fraud was ridiculously blatant.
You are not a nut job, we literally have footage of people in Georgia stuffing tens of thousands of votes.
and building awareness of how it happened here, will build awareness that your country could be next or has it happening already.
It's because we are Morlocks and need to eat, muhahaha!! :-D
Same here. I've sat and thought "have I been brainwashed?" or "am I wrong about X?" more times than I can count since I 'woke up' in 2016, and every single time, the way the Dems and the MSM present the alternative is so inconsistent, contradictory and hypocritical, that I can't believe they're anything other than liars. There's just too much evidence, usually from their own mouths, that proves they're misleading people.
me too, much better here than other "social" media
It is indeed a welcoming, friendly place. Be careful of the Morlocks though, EloiEloi.
Same here, brother.
sister :)

Glad you are here. Hugs!!
How does American politics factor in when talking with your buddies?
Unless you want to get into a full blown argument, its usually a case of listening to trump and his supporters being universally disparaged - generally there is not even the beginning of an idea that someone might not agree with that view, they believe everyone believes what they do. I am really only just waking up to the full extent of the manipulation that has created that blindness. The area I feel most comfortable discussing is censorship and free speech, that seems like an easier opening somehow...
Where are you? I'm Canadian and feel the same way. I prefer to refer to myself as a Western patriot than a Canadian one.
British... After 9/11 I got sucked into the whole "why does the world hate America?" blackhole, and spent nearly 20 years there. It was Niall Ferguson who got me really thinking about what American is again. He said, if an alien race came to this planet and you had to describe America to them, you wouldn't describe it as something founded on racism, you would describe it as an experiment in government, and that was the beginning of me falling in love with America... And then the trump trains... they just blew me away - that solidarity and celebration - I'd never seen it before.
I was a default lefty (growing up in Canada, go figure). I was pretty big into it though I didn't care for intersectionality, but I thought their hearts were in the right place.
Then I started noticing how it was creeping into every single aspect of life. This is racist, that's sexist, those are anti-x whatever group, and it just hit so sharp that I started to get annoyed by it. This led to me seeking out the other side because I was like "ok come on fucking Pokemon Go is not racist, shut up".
Started watching people like Crowder and Shapiro which opened up different viewpoints I had never even considered before (we're pretty much conditioned here into being good little socialists). Sat down and really thought out my opinions on various policies.
Around this time I also started to notice the attack on American (really Western) culture. I came to realize that Canada and America (and other Western countries) have pretty similar cultures and that if the States falls, we all do.
Trump came into office and at first I thought it was ridiculous and that he would be terrible. But he started keeping his promises, boosting the economy, and fighting for the average person. He earned my respect and it's frankly disgusting how he's been treated.
This describes my journey as well. I actually got to the point of thinking, well ok, I guess I'm racist, but I'd rather be called that than twist myself into believing the nonesense I'm being asked to believe. It was the - "if you challenge the idea of white privilege, you're the problem" - that REALLY started me towards looking at trump for the first time.
I feel like I've been having a one-sided conversation for decades - i really could not understand how people could be conservative - I literally thought they were evil monsters. The reason I couldn't understand it is because I was never exposed to thoughtful conservative viewpoints. My big wake up was when I responded to a facebook comment one day and someone mentioned cultural marxism. I'd literally never heard of it and expressed curiosity and the other person posted a link of Jordan Peterson talking about it. It blew my mind because it was ideas I'd never even heard of (being a science/engineering sort) and I just devoured this whole different way of thinking. The world has made vastly more sense to me since the missing piece of the puzzle was introduced - at least I now have a sense of what it is that people are disagreeing about - before I just thought conservatives were selfish people who didn't care about others.
Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind, and all of Thomas Sowell's books have been helpful to me. I really hope that we get to a place where people start talking to each other again...
Same page, friend. It's nice to find people who went through the same process.
