Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Merciful god, people will elect any moron if they have an R next to their name.
You need to know we’re 35+ years into this. The age of trump has proven what we’ve known ever since Reagan (arguably Nixon): Republican ideals are a sham, covering only racist, sexist, Christofascist power grabs. Anyone who votes R knowingly or unknowingly supports those things. And as a certified cult, they are both forbidden from voting differently and from questioning that fact.
All hail trump, only he alone can save them. Covfefe.
We've known conservative ideals have been garbage for a lot longer than that (all the way back to the founding of the country, in fact). Republican ideals being garbage more recently is simply a reflection of Republican party becoming more purely conservative since Nixon.
For Rs, being a moron is a selling point -- it makes The Base think they're "just like us."
What about any of this makes you think there's a merciful god?
Perhaps hell is real and this is it?
