I can never seem to articulate what I think, so talking politics is very difficult to me. I would love to be able to mock someone's brain dead political views for 5 minutes. 30 seems inconceivable. Good on ya!

Right, I'm very conclusion oriented. So while I might know that I did validly get to a certain view or conclusion, I don't always know well enough why to the point I can explain it to others or argue with someone about it.

This can even be something as simple as why I chose one product over the other. I know I had good reasons for choosing the laptop I did when I bought it, but if you ask me what specifically about it made me choose it over another I probably can't tell you.

Wish this would work, it wouldn't. When your company is 95% on the opposite side of your views, you just become the crazy person. The whispers begin, then the group jabs, then the outcast etc etc. You know you're the sane one, but that's not how the majority thinks of you.

I'm not sure what your plan was with this comment but if it was anything other than to showcase your room temperature IQ, it didn't succeed.

IMO you just came across as an arrogant jerk with your comment, who might as well be the type of "drama queen" OP was talking about. Somehow if you hold "the right" political views, it makes it ok.

The reason people find it ok to tell a right wing cunt to shut up is because usually you have to be a massive donkey or a proper cunt to believe it's ok to make other people's lives difficult just because they are different.

People who are able to think for longer than 5 seconds in a row without requiring immediate medical assistance tend to see through the constant distractions, bullshit and lies of the right wing.

Now piddle off.

You might as well be a donkey to believe in right wing propaganda, but you have to be a pathetic spiteful jerk to be so angry at everyone holding different views. Because in your system there can be no different views, only the "correct" propaganda, which you believe in as god's honest truth. Did you also cry and had to take a day off when Trump won? The problem with libs is - they tend to wish reality into existence. "I think it's true, so it must be". "Everyone disagreeing with me is a fascist cunt and must be exterminated, or worse, cancelled".

"Look at the polls, people are tired of your bullshit. - No, it can't be, it's all Russian / Chinese propaganda"

"Your present is brain-dead and his successor can't sit through a real interview for more than 5 minutes" - "I will still support him, and then be devastated when they horribly lose"

"Mr President and his son are part of a corruption scheme in another country" - "This is ridiculous", "OK, might be actually true", "B-b-but what about Trump!"

I was once holding the same views, hated everyone else and believed in every word they said. I was really disappointed when it started showing through the cracks. Not because they lie (because, apparently, everyone does), but because they were always on their high horse and always sowing panic.

Yes because right wing cunts are known for being extremely tolerant of others. We're not talking about 'different views'. We're talking about harmful views. People who think it's ok to make people miserable just because they're different. So fuck off.

"Everyone disagreeing with me is a fascist cunt and must be exterminated, or worse, cancelled"

Considering I largely disagree with fascists, if you disagree with me then there's a solid chance you're a fascist, yes.

And there's a known cure for fascism.

Did you also cry and had to take a day off when Trump won?

I'm not american, but I guarantee you that if the right wing won in my country, I would need far more than a day off, not to cry, but to set shit on fire. Americans are weak people.

Fuck off, nazi sympathiser.
