Why are you acting like he is saying anything in good faith? He's just trolling.

Eh. I'm bored at home on a Sunday. What else am I doing?

The fact you believe this is exactly the problem, but you do you.

Hello my name is Tom, Im a registered Republican and I believe in God.

While I won't say conservatives in general are bad, certain conservative "viewpoints" are factually wrong and reprehensible.

This I agree with.

The problem that places like CE have is being lazy. Yall just label everyone who doesnt agree with you some bad name and smugly claim youre the only ones being logical or just.

Its obnoxious. And lazy. I think most conservatives are normal people. But CE would have you think its synonymous with being a bigot outright.

Its weird. Especially when people not even conservative get lumped in just for not perfectly fitting in the ideal mindset.

Thats all I gotta say.

Here's a tip: if someone's argument contains the words "far left," it's safe to discount that argument in its entirety.

Fair enough.

Thanks for proving my point. Not agreeing with the far left =/= right wing. It's the same thing when right wingers call anyone who disagrees with them left wingers. You people and your tribalist us or them mentalities are tiresome to say the least.

Noticed you didn't share your conservative viewpoints and just went into another victim mode rant.

Anyway, Duncan got banned for saying shitty things and defending shitty people. No one gets banned for their viewpoints on how to spend taxes.

This is true. It's another lame attempt at both siding. Especially with someone who only seems interested in shaming one side and utterly ignoring/justifying the other.

I'd like it if more people got banned for saying terrible things.

Which party stormed the capital to overturn an election they erroneously believe they won?
Which party flies flags of the "god emperor"?
Which party goes along with the absolute insane shit that these idiots spew?

This isn't 1990, this isn't even 2008, the Republican party is fully off the rails and trapped in such a bubble that their constituents are either:
1) Totally oblivious to the political realities around them, or
2) Actively malicious dangerous people.

But you know all this already. You know that the debate isn't over a few percent in taxes or what public utilities should be funded, it's over the right for certain people to exist and a culture war between leftists demanding acceptance of their liberty and alt-right owners trying to indoctrinate a new generation of ignorant pro-White Christian children.

So yeah, if you don't want to be labeled a bigot, don't act like one. It's that easy.

Bro, I dunno why you typed all this like I dont know the Republican party is cancer. Much more than obnoxious left leaning folk since Republicans can actually be legit life threatening.

My only belief is that the cancerous ones are not the majority. They are just the ones in position of power.

I truly believe most people have good intentions and they think their political beliefs are the best for everyone.

Granted, the recent abortion stuff made me question just what percentage of conservatives are loony But I still think the evil ones are a minority. I do think most people arent exactly that knowledgeable on politics. So I think a lot of folks are in your first group.

You gave a lot of effort, so I wanted to make sure I responded to you.

Anything else? If your best thing to do with your time is this tired old excuse in entertaining trolling attempts, that's just sad.

Pretty sure he got banned because the first thing he did on a new alt was start harassing people over PM

Where did TC go?

You were initially responding to:

Conservatives are biased against reality.

And my point was that the two major groups of Republicans are either:
1) Not based in reality, or
2) Evil.

Meanwhile the party itself either ranges from either accepting that evil element to participating in it.

My dad is a "life-long independent" who was grievously wounded when America coincidentally elected a Black president. He voted for Bill Clinton and supported Hillary in our closed primary. He's "totally not racist," I've never heard him utter anything maliciously racist, but he sure does refer to certain lower income people as "thugs." But now he's retired and totally on the Trump train. He watches Fox news all day and yet still has no idea why the Feds raided his home, why Biden pulled our troops out of Syria, why gas prices are high, why inflation is happening, or anything besides what Fox news feeds him. He doesn't know that he's voting for Proud Boys who vandalized our temple, he doesn't know that he's voting for anti-vaxxers for school board positions, or a governor who's working to make Christian schools superior to public schools. He just loves his anti-immigrant daddy Trump.

So, yeah, I fully believe that the majority of conservatives live in a news bubble that's detached from reality. What's more, most of them WANT Christianity in our schools, are happy that we're dumbing down American history, and are perfectly fine with racism and bigotry running rampant.

Hm Well.

I will concede here. I agree with your stance.

Conservatives are biased against reality. Going by my own logic.

Sorry for disagreeing without thinking. I gotta work on that.

Come on, how am I gonna procrastinate to a post like that? Gimme something to work on :(

Because, if you think about it, pro-life is a very common conservative viewpoint. He got banned for saying "Wow. Allowed to live" in regards to aborting a fetus conceived by rape.

It's actually very common for conservatives who are pro-life to believe that fetuses should not be aborted in such cases, even if rape caused the pregnancy. That's what Duncan expressed, and he got banned for it. He would have been hailed as a hero by Fox News or among other redcaps for that opinion.

I personally disagree with Duncan's opinion, but doesn't banning him reflect a liberal bias on GameFAQs's side? Or does life have a liberal bias, and conservatives who are pro-life need to get with the times? Isn't that ironic considering how Roe v. Wade was overturned? I find this whole situation so confusing.

lol shut the fuck up.

Republicans and anyone who supports them are evil.

Free speech doesn't exist on the Internet and "pro-life" is a disgusting stance.

I don't like Duncan but bad opinions shouldn't be bannable. Mods have been overreaching these past few months.

I thought it was for harassing someone with PMs, or something like that.

That was his new account.

Gamerguymass posted...

Did you just discover that GameFAQs is little more then a far left wing echo chamber these days? One where if you aren't in lockstep agreement with the mob you are labeled an alt right Trumper, even if you have never voted Republican in your life.

sounds like typical maga lack of self awareness

This is definitely not a leftist echo chamber lol.

a real echo chamber is something like r/conservative where its very hard to get in, they do vetting processes on discord to determine your political affiliation and any different opinion is immediately banned and removed.

Conservatives generally arent used to people disagreeing with them, since irl they usually live in bubbles where everyone thinks the same. When they go online and get pushback, they get upset.

oh? duncan was very anti abortion? he was also very religious? really, don't know

CE being an echo chamber would be so boring. I wouldn't have people that are wrong about everything to argue with.

Duncan deserved it.

As others have said, it was for harassing users in PMs.

Had nothing to do with his viewpoints on anything.

Don't like it, go to another site. We all agreed to the same rules when we made our accounts and started posting here.

Bad use of that defense since having bad opinions isn't mentioned as a moddable offense in the ToS.

If someone's going to be literally banned it should be over things explictly listed as against the rules.
