I can easily think of four regular red or tribal posters. There are more blue folk, but trying to talk sense to the red seems to be what keeps refining my perspective. Every once in a while a blue poster will endorse a book like the one on the WEIRD, but the majority of my posts are in response to the red folk. Without their being around, things could get dull.

You so partisan, you missed your opportunity to help them out. You're screwed dude. I assume that climate change and further enriching tycoons and making black people feel better about themselves is more important to you from a political perspective than helping them save their jobs. I haven't figured out whether your mind is warped or your a two faced piece of crap. Either or, your pretty much screwed at this point. Yep, Trump was defeated but Trump ain't going away anytime soon. If Twitter won't let you speak, you create an alternative to Twitter and play the same game as Twitter and Facebook has played with Conservatives and Donald Trump. Like I've said, you's guys are so stupid it's unbelievable. It's no wonder why you guys get blind sided so much these days.

I would say we get hit by Republican obstructionism more than getting blind sided. What is more predictable than the senate blocking anything that helps the middle class? With the Republican philosophy being dominant through the unraveling, we have lost benefits, unions, jobs and equality. Blaming this on the Democrats is far from the truth. It is tribal thinking, xenophobia directed at those who are not in your immediate group. It is clucking like a chicken.

Twitter and Facebook have made a small attempt to correct Trump's habit of lying. Without lies, they wouldn't have to correct them.
