  • 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.

Reminds me how Trump got roasted for saying the word FIGHT in numbers of his rallies. It's a buzz word for violence.....and yet Biden used the term, and if you look at Harris's concession speech....the word fight many times was used. Of course everyone knows we don't mean the word that way.....others however don't get the same privilege! It's called stacking the deck in their favor and not being consistent.
Yes you notice the grab on certain words and then spinning a new narrative around it. One that they create and not the original context of the word. The new meaning created is based on how they see the world and not the orginal sender.

As we notice the narrative is always about evil doers, plotting something to oppress minorities. An almost phobia or paranoia and adversion that comes from an unreal view of the world and of other people. Like we did something wrong and need to be punished.

Like I said the disconnect is like how Bud completely misread their own customer base because of applying an ideology to beer for God sake. The same with Gilette telling their own male customers there was something wrong with them and they needed to be les toxic when it was just about razors. Thats the over reach.

A bigger version of Bub and Gilette happened with the election. The Left were out of touch because of their ideological lens skewed their ability to see things for what they were. They lectured Wokeness, told black men they needed to listen to their mothers who were voting for Kamala as they knew better. Told Trump supporters there must be must be something wrong with them.

But enough time has gone by where people could see through the game. Thats what reality does, sooner or later things need to be realigned.

Although they are normally an afterthought, JD Vance had an impact. Initially he seemed like a mistake, and the D's made him sound scary and weird. In the debate he did very well. He fronted the hostile media and did a good job explaining Trump, better then Trump.
