If you asked me 3 years ago where I was on the political spectrum, I would have said "center-left". But seeing Trump and his insane cult inspired me to learn much more about politics and the more I learned the farther to the left I went, and now I'm as hardcore left as you can get. And I know I'm not the only person Trump and his supporters had this effect on. So thanks for that, I suppose.

This are just getting more and more divided. Feels almost like a civil war atmosphere sometimes tbh I think that's mostly the internet being a bit for vile than in person conversations. I've not heard anyone remotely as vile in person yet about politics on either side. Also I would tend to agree that I called myself mostly in the middle, but after Trump was elected siding more and more with 'left' viewpoints. I still sure as shit wouldn't call myself a member of any party though. --- This life is just a game we play, that we can never win. But don't give up, no don't give up. ... Copied to Clipboard!

This are just getting more and more divided. Feels almost like a civil war atmosphere sometimes tbh It really does. I felt neutral at first as well. I almost voted for Romney. If he would have won over Obama I would have been just fine. I don't think I'm permantly pushed to the left. I think it's just while Trump is in office. Hopefully I'll drift back neutral when Republicans get candidates that aren't complete morons like Trump --- Yes... I'm a Hanzo main ... Copied to Clipboard!

Elements of American conservatism annoyed me before, but now I just can't stand any of it. The far left's response to them also made me hate them too. In terms of US politics, centrists and people like them are all I can stand these days.

For me, all of the liberal SJW bullshit and the media pushing that agenda (half of it is faked or fabricated to further said agenda by the way) have pushed me a little to the right.
I'm a little more Libertarian these days. More financially conservative and against the tax + spend crap that drives cities into poverty that the left as such fans of.

I'm not talking about just this topic though. You're doing the same shit, but on the other side of the political spectrum that you hated other people doing back when you were a mod. Anyway, just figured I'd voice that since it's something that's been bugging me for a bit. The TC involved being irrelevant to my view, nor am I trying to claim you're somehow the worst at this or something.

You're doing the same shit, but on the other side of the political spectrum that you hated other people doing back when you were a mod. I'm responding this way specifically because of who the TC is. This is the exact kind of account Allen said this site would be cracking down on -- serial troll who gets banned, comes right back with the same gimmick on an alt, and doesn't even attempt to hide who he is -- and you guys let him continue you on with this nonsense. If the mods aren't going to handle him properly, and the ignore list is useless when he just creates a new alt every week, I don't really want to hear anything about how trolling him back isn't any better. When non-troll users who have different political opinions create topics here, I discuss them quite differently. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't want people to start bashing Error. I personally like him quite a lot, always thought he's done an outstanding job as a mod, and learned a tremendous amount from him when I was on the staff -- but he definitely has a bit of a blind spot here.
For example, even excusing that the TC is trolling and trying to get a reaction, if someone made the opposite topic to this one saying "SJWs pushed me FAR to the right that I support Trump," I don't think he would be as bothered by people responding with posts like the one I did. If anything, he'd immediately recognize the TC as the one trolling unlike the way he did with this topic. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

As corrupt as the DNC is the Trump thing is showing that the GOP is even worse. As is their side of the MSM (the republican part of the news is still part of the main stream media despite their claim that they are not) All the right really has is Fox News and talk radio. Most of Hollywood, social media, and the major news networks are strongly in favor of the left. Not sure exactly what you mean by "the Trump thing," but there has been a lot of corruption uncovered with the Dems, even after the election, that has been swept under the rug by the MSM. I'm not saying that it clears the Trump administration from any wrongdoing, but it seems like the left is overblowing that to distract from their own issues. In any case, both the Dems and Reps love having this non-stop back-and-forth because it keeps pushing people away from the center and keeps them in power. 2016 should have been the best shot we've ever had at getting a third party to the 5% mark, but both sides of the media made sure that didn't happen. ...
