How is it a win? A leftist is inconvenienced with a few tears and you rush over with a tissue? Don’t purpose to open the eyes of evil, kill evil.
I often think of these things. When I first moved here in 2010, Mr K (not the one on this forum) was such a Democrat. Oh man, it was awful. (I had not known him very long - we had actually only had a few conversations online and I was getting evicted from my place. He was jobless at the time and needed help keeping his house.)
He stayed a Democrat, though his views slowly turned toward the right as the 0bama administration disappointed him time and time again. We did have some terrible throw-downs over my support of the GOP. (Note: I’m not crazy about most of the Republicans these days. But between them and socialist Democrats, the choice should be clear.)
At the start of the 2016 election season, he was still a Democrat but by that time shared a number of my views about economy and “big govt” and so on. But then, quite suddenly, he really got turned off by Hillary and inspired by Donald Trump - motivated in part by seeing the unbridled hatred of the Left on full display like it never had been before.
So, he voted for DT in 2016 and is outraged by the 2020 election fraud. He said in the last election he voted straight GOP. (A couple of members of his family changed their politics too around that time.) (Thank you, Jesus!)
But this rich gal is not very likely to enter my domain anytime soon! (Sure, she turned down her $1 million, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to live in a tumbledown shack in the hills, either.)
I don’t wish her ill but I don’t care about her that much. She will probably stay a liberal until the last pitch.
People on “our side” are very frequently more than hostile towards me because, you know, I’m not perfect like they are. This is very bothersome, especially when you have to watch for personal attacks online and out in the real world, too - by some “conservative” who has a problem with my sunglasses or whatever. (What I like to call the “You-claimed-you-liked-my-blog-and-commented-on-some-of-my-twatter-posts-so-now-I’M-GONNA-MAKE-YOUR-LIFE-A-LIVING-H3LL!!! syndrome.”)
All that taken into consideration, however, I’m not going to turn on the GOP any time soon just because some hypocrites, posers, grifters, and fakes want to project their problems onto me, nor will I blame Donald Trump for my problems. I’m not going to sow division by attacking others in the party just because I have a problem with something someone said - although let me hasten to add that if you spend more than a few minutes of your life carrying on a campaign against me, you CAN expect retaliation. When you least expect it.
“when I was in the (already woke) workplace I had to heavily self-censor.”
I’m retired now too. After a long career in the Navy I had to the good fortune to be hired by a wonderful local small ($70+M) defense contractor. Just about everyone there but the IT, programmers, and artists were former or retired military. Everyone almost without exception were superb people, superb workers, and superb friends. Then, without warning (on demand of the US Government contract specialists) the owners hired a HR manager and suddenly many, especially the former military types, had to start looking over their shoulders.
It was very sad to witness. Liberals destroy everything.
LOL!............. Reminds me of my littlest sister, when she was 3 years old back in the 60’s, we could not keep clothes on that young un!. She would pull off all her clothing and run around the yard playing like it was normal...................
Another lib tastes the cancel Koolaid.
Jennifer Sey’s story sounds a little like a liberal who just got mugged.
But wait. In a couple of ways, she did get mugged.
This woman refused $1M to keep her voice that she's using to spread anti-Pfascism. One million dollars...and she speaks truth to Leftists that we can't reach by ourselves.
She should have taken the money.
Still don't use social media, as we were briefed long ago regarding the security risks of those platforms. (I.D. theft is the least of your worries)
Defending a leftist. Sick, evil, degenerate, weak, anti life.
Love when the left eats its own and this gal is a lefty.
The author appears from her personal history to be a "good" and compassionate person, and also a liberal (an active Warren supporter, embarrassed to be associated with Trump, believes G. Floyd, an out-of-control physical monster that had to be contained) was murdered by a racist, etc.).
She also seems, however, to view her troubles as very personal rather than as symbols of the threat to our culture and is therefore unlikely to cross over at the ballot box.
Not everyone gets to take it while young and before they've spent decades spreading Leftism.
The woman is a committed SF commie and wokester.
Now she’s a hero on FR?
As a teacher, every person is potentially better.
Nice, good choice.
You need a few pills, lib-symp.
I used to shop for my jeans at Models at the “seconds” bin. Never cared what brand they were. As long as I could see why it was a “second” and could live with it, I bought it. The pair you NEVER bought was the pair where you couldn’t find the defect because you would always find it too late... while you were wearing them. LOL
