Note: This thread was originally on the LGBTQ board, and was moved to the Politics board...

It does make one wonder why anyone averse to the mere existence of the members of a board would be following and posting to it. I honestly didn't notice the board the posts were on and had just assumed it was the Politics board, based on the ignorance and misinformation. We're used to trolls here!

And for comparison: Liberal Goes Back In Time To Kill Hitler

For a longer explanation from a history perspective: Was Nazism Right Wing or Left Wing? An Answer From History

While this history perspective speaks of a left-right spectrum and even the horseshoe diagram, I prefer a two-dimensional diagram. There is the regular left-right on one axis, and libertarian-authoritarian on the other. While not perfect, this is much better than the two-dimensional spectrum. The horseshoe diagram he shows approaches this two-dimensional graph without getting there.

FYI: Hitler claimed to be vegetarian, but his actual diet does not bear this out.

Anyone in the Portland metro area want to do some boxing with me on Saturday? It looks to be clear, predictions anyway.

As far as I can tell, the first link goes to a fictional drama so I fail to see how it applies to this discussion.

The second link reinforces my personal opinion that you spend far too much time getting sucked down the YouTube rabbit hole of weirdos who also have too much time on their hands


As for the above quote....WTF? It may relate to one of those links but I have no intention of wasting my time on them so I’ll never know.

You always seem to have a head full of the opinions of others that you soak up and spew out from time to time to time.

Any more fun Hitler facts from your list you'd like to share? ( yeah, I know it was a shout back to the terrible one sided video you offered)

Any more straw meet man videos to share?

If you don't want to see a board (for example, the Astronomy board):

1. Under Boards (3rd column in the light blue banner), click Browse Boards.

2. Scroll through the list of boards until you find Astronomy.

3. In the far-right column of the Astronomy row, click the eraser icon with the green plus sign. Once the plus sign becomes a red X, you will no longer see any posts about Uranus or other sketchily-named celestial bodies.

To see posts from a board again, click the eraser icon.

(I posted this comment on the political board because many folks don't want to see posts from here.)

So, you didn't see the relevance to the statement to which I replied? Both were very relevant. The first was the shorter version. The second was from a historical perspective.

I can see why YOU would be offended by both.

It is also possible to make private groups, accessible to only those invited. I was part of a group to solve one of the Eevil puzzles, but I didn't create it.

Someone can follow up to say how to create such a group.

Thank you. God bless

Well, 50% of their "sacred" unions end in divorce, so they're pretty shitty at it.

Here's what is scary to me: they DID choose someone who represented their values. This whole time, their festering misogyny, racism & desire for a christian sharia nation has lain hidden. Our brown brothers & sisters have been TELLING us this was the case, and we didn't really believe them. Women have been telling us that abuse, SA & gender discrimination was a thing, and we didn't believe them either. We tolerated infringement of religious rights because we didn't see the bottom of the slippery slope and because we want to seem accommodating of all viewpoints. And now we see what we have been all along because it has been given free reign to express itself in all its mouth-breather glory. My highlight this week was listening to Trump get booed the entire time he had the mike at the Commander's NFL game. Sweet.

I believe this is the case for many people these days. I could be wrong, but I don't think I ever shared a political opinion on this board until Trump. His misuse of the power he holds is very disturbing. He makes a mockery of the constitution.

For instance, here is his latest abuse. In June, President Trump pushed the idea of a mid-decade redistricting in Texas. Under Trumps insistence, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, called a special session in Texas where they are redrawing the congressional district maps. The very plainly stated goal of this unusual maneuver is to try to add five Republican congressional seats that will be won in the 2026 congressional election.

California did the same to re-balance the scale. The Trump administration is now suing to stop California from redistricting, throwing the full weight of the Justice Department at the case.

He treats the government as his personal bodyguard. That's not the way this is supposed to work.


This will be a bitter pill to swallow, but the truth is... the truth leans left. Facts are not opinions, facts are facts. Much of what (MAGA) conservatives believe are opinions and are demonstrably wrong.

Ohhhh I missed that. I must google!!

This might not apply (since Ryan told me use the boards wrong 😀), but the way I do it is, after I've 'x'ed (ignored) a board, when I come on to the site, I click 'Boards" on the header. Then click on 'Recent Threads' under 'Threads & Boards'

Then at the top under 'ignored boards' switch it to 'include' then Update. Then the ignored threads show up, but stay officially ignored next time I log in.

Well congrats, you offended me with your misdirected judgemental attitude, so you succeeded in your goal! You must be so proud. But no, I am not liberal by any stretch. Moderate Republican is how I identify.

What?! Why?! What do you have against astronomy?! I am deeply, deeply offended at this. *going to room to cry*

So if one were to request some TanZ and sent funds for shipping and, say, there were some excess funds included, would those help out someone?

Posts from I followed boards still show up as new messages.

That’s weird! That doesn’t happen to me.

Ryan, do you know why this is happening?

It pains me to hear that this is hurting your daughter(s). I work with children in the "Behavioral Health" world. I have seen so many young children with severe identity crisis issues and parents that try to control it. These babies need someone to help and protect them... not judge and control them. So thank your daughter for doing what she is doing because we need more people in this world like her to help children with ANY issue ♡♡♡

Agreed. My wife and I have been together almost 25 years. Back when we 1st met, yes, I'd agree that it was rare for same sex couples to stay together. Then I met a couple of ladies who had spent over 50 years of their life together!!! It was very inspiring and they are amazing ladies ♡ I used to believe that marriage was just a formality with a piece of printed proof and that as long as we were happy, we didn't need that. It took me 13 years to agree to marriage, but i knew she was my forever person, so I caved. Lol
Terra is only the 2nd female relationship I've been in and the men I used to date always changed after about a year or 2. She has always loved me and I know she always will because we change together, not for a one sided happiness.
My point? Every same sex marriage I know about, are still happily together ♡ whereas a lot of straight marriages end in divorce. BUT I MUST SAY that any relationship, gay or not, that has been together most of their lives, are so beautiful and I respect and honor every couple out there like this. You are the ones that keep the dream alive and I thank you. ♡ Hugz.

Ty. God bless

If this is an inappropriate topic for this site, then why is there a place on this site to talk about it. This originally started on the LGBTQ+ group but since your "mighty hero" is being a D-bag, it was appropriately brought into the politics world. Everyone has their rights to an opinion and I apologize for offending you, but respectfully, if you don't like the topic, move on to one you do like instead of Trump-ing us on our legit worries.
If certain topics should not be discussed, in your opinion, maybe there should be a group named TABOO because whether you like it or not, every discussion brought up, regardless of topic, will have another discussion about the opposite feeling. Maybe people need to talk about things that others wont. Maybe not, but that's human nature! Please don't make people feel like their words are wrong or don't matter because you feel differently. ITS JUST AN OPENLY DISCUSSED OPINION.
Drop the mic...

There is, my friend. This topic originally started in that group ;)

Unfortunately, that board isn’t private (that is, invitation-only). So anyone on AQ can see all posts on that board and then add their own posts. 😔

Idk if I should apologize to everyone for creating the heated opinions, or thank everyone for for their opinions on the matter.
Just know that you are all loved by me and T (mostly. Lol) and send you big virtual bear hugs. I just love this community and hope we are loved back.
I'll end this with one of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou...
People will forget what you said and people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel ♡

Agree. Maybe they all have headaches.

I was not aware there was such a thing. Good to know ;) It's not unfortunate, though. It is what it is and maybe it needed to be put out in the open for discussion. Idk... I do know that I'm the only one that's been in that group in years so I'm actually talking to myself. Lol. Nothing new.
I respect every opinion, regardless. But when it becomes a personal stabbing war, that becomes a whole different ball game.
I apologize for creating such a mess 😮‍💨

Cathartic, no?

I think it's all the posts about Uranus ;)
