CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump did try to overthrow the 2020 election by sending fake electoral votes (his team pled guilty), and trying to interfere with GA and AZ certification, among other things. These are all factual.

None of which affected the outcome of the election. No harm, no foul.

I posted how in North Carolina used data on how blacks voted and churned out legislation to strangle those patterns.
They got duped. A lot of MAGA got duped. Trump has been a lifelong con. Yet, this today:
Republican disenfranchisement bid drives Black voters to polls, study finds
A new analysis of Black voters in the south indicates that Republican attempts to dilute their political power is driving them to the polls in larger numbers and shifting their counties further left.
After the supreme court effectively gutted section 2 of the Voting Rights Act protections in late April, Republican legislatures across the south rapidly pushed to disenfranchise Black voters by redrawing congressional maps. Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama all immediately worked to pass new maps, while the Mississippi governor has said that he wants legislators to redraw maps before the upcoming midterm elections.
The analysis by VoteHub, a data-focused election organization, indicates that the efforts have only motivated Black voters in the 78 Black belt counties it tracked. All but one shifted left in partisan turnout compared with 2024. Further, majority-Black counties that voted after Louisiana v Callais, the landmark supreme court decision that triggered the Republican-led redistricting efforts, had a surge in voter participation.
They forgot the Maya Angelou adage of, " When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

What conspiracy theory? The conspiracy theory is Dems are cheating lodged by the party that ironically won the House, the Senate, the Presidency, and control the SCOTUS, so we need federal legislation to curtail that non existent cheating. That's the conspiracy. The "can you just find me 11.780 votes" is not.

And now you're insinuating that black people couldn't make an intelligent choice when they cast their vote. "They got duped" is how you put it. If they're duped so easily, then please don't complain about the ficticious idea that Conservatives are making it harder for them to vote. They're not. They simply understand that black people are just as intelligent as white people. They can vote for the people they want, and they can get a photo ID to enable them to do so.

You've only proven that you believe the claim. Writing a post to state such is that proof of your belief. However, proving your belief to be based on a fact requires far more.
