The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No rightie here routinely likens the left to one of history's most genocidal movements on the daily.

Really? No comparisons to Communism? At all? A movement that certainly killed more people than the Nazi government in Germany? You don't remember the times when you've compared the left to fascism as well?

I'm sure you meant those only to be rhetorical references, not that politicians or people you disagree with are literal communists. Just like when liberals here mention fascism or Nazism and don't clearly intend those words to mean literal membership in those actual organizations.

You're operating under the impression that the other side should sit there politely while the libs routinely issue blood insult after blood insult with no response.

No, I'm not. Any more than you believe that libs should sit here politely while conservatives issue blood insult after blood insult as well.

But there are limits, and the last several years have blown past them.

Again, I think you probably should engage in a little self reflection about your own posting style. I'm sure you believe it's justified, but you've been insulting Democrats, progressives, and liberals from the very first time I encountered your posts back on TMF. This isn't a "last several years" thing - you've been dripping with contempt for nearly all things progressive since at least the Obama administration, and lobbing insults about it to match.

It's like being the world's worst hockey referee, the guy that never sees Player 1 knee Player 2 in the b@lls but blows the whistle when Player 2 has had enough and retaliates.

You do realize that when you post that, every one of your interlocutors believes that you're describing yourself, not your opponents? That you're utterly unable to realize how your posting style has been a "knee in the b@lls" to people you disagree with for quite a while - and you're not able to see yourself doing it?
