  • 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.

Maybe you want to read the comments of people who are not conservatives on here who are calling this "bizarre". The tone-deafness, the inability to see what really is. It's why people are walking away. It's why posters like Summer Madness are reporting that he sees it in his real life.

Are there any other posters who are seeing what he sees? Still seems like some astroturfed videos, and the number of Russian bots involved is a simple fact.

Pot/kettle? I mean really--you can't get past it, and even non-conservatives are pointing to this as a reason people are leaving. But you still cannot give up.

So because of that no one, absolutely no one, could be walking away from liberalism or the Democrats, in your mind? I mean I want to know, is this how it works for you?

Just asking if you're willing to rise above the seeming need at this moment for unconditional support of Trump to condemn him for supporting white supremacist groups.

I want to know, really. Trump said objectionable things so NO ONE can find anything objectionable about the other side.

Or you could just find reasons like this to excuse his actions. Either way works for me, just curious.

Keep on believing. It still reads to me like right-wing talking points said by people pretending to have left the Democratic party to make people who already believe those right-wing talking points feel better about their chances in the upcoming election. Add to it the facts showing heavy Russian involvement in spreading the message, combined with it requiring minorities to run towards the party led by someone who is "only" vaguely racist, and it just doesn't add up.

But hey, good on you for believing something you heard on the internet. Let us know how that works out for you.

Summer Madness is in this thread saying he is seeing it in real life, in his real life, from friends. You don't believe it. You won't believe it. I mean, I don't know how to penetrate that kind of True Belief. That's a True Believer. I just want you to realize that.

And you do. Unconditionally. Because someone on the internet said it and it agrees with what you want to be true. Never mind the facts, it has to be true.

I mean, don't even bother looking into the details of claims that this is a few people astroturfing and the data showing Russian involvement. Don't stop and ask why minorities would be moving in droves to a party which as advertised as having a leader who is only vaguely racist.

But ok, you win. Minorities are moving to support the GOP and will win the upcoming elections for you. You and your fellow traditional GOP voters can relax and stay home.

Is this really a few people astroturfing? Do you believe this.

Nice to see people thinking for themselves. Although I hope people don't go too far "throwing the baby out with the bath water". You can still be a democrat and left leaning while strongly disagreeing with others who adopt similar labels.

And yeah, the right certainly has reasons to have their own walkout movement.

See post #129.

Well I'll be, I've never seen some of our conservative posters be so nice to Summer Madness. Isn't that nice.....

You should pay more attention. And not just to Summer Madness' posts.

What are you suggesting then?

Many people are ant-Trump because he is pro Christianity and the majority of minorities are christian. The attack on Judaeo Christian values is part of the reasoning for #walkaway.



Did you think those thinly veiled "make a girl get counseling before she gets an abortion" programs pay for themselves?

No, but hopefully they disappear with roe wade. You do understand your threatening me with something I would like to see happen, right?

Hello?
Perhaps you shouldn't believe everything that sounds nice when you read it on the internet? Some people just like to troll.

I mean... It simply can't be that some people are making things up just to laugh at conservatives for believing them, can it?

Nah! That's impossible.

Curious how it's only now that he says things they already agree with and want so desperately to be true.

It's been kinda fun to watch.

Trump is pro-Christianity?

Cheating on his wives, sleeping with pornstars, lying and bragging and holding wealth, success and power above almost anything else in his life, including his own children.

If that's Christianity then that's a religion I can easily get behind. :oldthumbsup:
