9/4/2022 1:06pm I expect this to get deleted because I can’t imagine it will kick off a whole lot of productive discussion. I’ve been in this sport and on this board, and its previous iterations, for a very long time. In the last few years the people here have done a few things for me: 1. They me less proud to be...

9/2/2022 7:23pm My issue is less about who they vote for than what they value and what they make fun of. No need for conclusion. I’ve distanced myself from them and not the other way around. You’re 100% correct. People are nuanced and unfortunately there are only two choices in U.S. politics. I get that it works that way for people on...

9/2/2022 7:12pm I'm just going to go out on the limb here. Did you read what you wrote? It is 100% from the way they vote. You even categorized a group of people that you know, as being climate deniers because of the way they vote. You should just go ahead and label them everything else you don't agree with them on. Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe it is you that has changed and not them? Just note, Bill Clinton of the year 2000 would be a very good conservative these days, including his stance on the border. Do...

9/2/2022 7:11pm Dude…it’s not like Bezos has $140B in his bank account (“his piggy bank”) that he can just turn over to your state…it’s equity in a business…or are you in favor of giving the state control of his company (giving them that much in stock)…but the stock only benefits the state if they sell it…and if they try and sell all of it…it would kill the value of the stock. What you are proposing is a dumb idea.

9/2/2022 7:10pm I’ll lead this off by first commending the OP for having the courage to make a post of this nature and stand in here for the blows. At the same time, I believe you need take a look around this message board and the pits at your moto track. It isn’t made up of grown men looking to hand out empathy. The pits are made up of middle and upper-middle class self-employed successful businessman and business owners. To cross the bridge from surviving to thriving in business, we’ve all had moments where our backs were against the wall, much like...

9/2/2022 7:08pm To be fair, this place has gotten a little bit absurd with the far right talking points. I’m generally pretty conservative by nature, more of a libertarian in reality, and even I shake my head at some of the garbage that’s posted pretty routinely. The problem is you never really know all of the facts about any given issue, and you really can’t trust regular media to give you a balanced assessment of what is going on, so you end up with a bunch of emotionally driven arguments from both sides based on whatever narrative they’ve decided to attach themselves...

9/2/2022 2:17pm I would also avoid going to an Antifa event and have nothing to talk about with people in that crowd either.

9/2/2022 2:08pm My man, Missouri receives twice as much money in federal aid as it pays in federal taxes. It's the 4th biggest beneficiary among the United States. It sounds like you have the very common belief that someone who busts their ass for $50k, $100k, maybe $200k shouldn't have to pay a significant part of their paycheck to someone who does...

9/2/2022 1:41pm Alright, my mistake for weighing in on something I haven't paid attention to. A quick Google shows me that the truth is probably somewhere between "hunted down like terrorists" and "not monitored by the FBI." Thanks for the note.

9/2/2022 1:36pm I wouldn't skip going somewhere to avoid people who would vote for Trump. I would avoid going somewhere where the majority of people speak or act in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. Folks can read that and call me a snowflake or think about how much they'd feel at a Ted Talk about climate change. I'm just saying...

9/2/2022 1:30pm I'm saying that yeah, for the most part I do. So I make some effort to look outside it. I like going to cnn.com and foxnews.com and seeing how they take the same story and spin a headline and choose a photo to best suit their side of an issue.

9/2/2022 1:28pm I agree with you and I'm plenty nervous about the future. People forget, though, that one administration leads into the next. The Trump administration shut down the economy and then proudly printed Donald Trump's name on the stimulus checks and PPP loans. Trump cut corporate tax rates and a ton of that stimulus money went straight into stock buybacks, which...

9/2/2022 1:17pm How much would you know about Venezuela if conservative talk shows weren't taking the worst possible example they could find and telling you that's where we're headed? Honestly, can you point to it on a world map?

9/2/2022 1:15pm The name calling followed by call to get along was a joke. I won't quit my day job.

9/2/2022 1:13pm If a parent at a school board meeting was hunted down as a terrorist by the FBI then it was because they were acting like a terrorist. You get in trouble for threatening to blow up or shoot up a school, not raise your voice. This tweet is just a littttle hyperbolic, and is the most liked thing on here...

9/2/2022 11:35am I think what you'll hear the asshats like me say is that we don't know anything.

9/2/2022 11:21am I haven't lived in this state for very long and am not affected all that much by the politics in it. The moto angles are that this board is my primary access to conservative discussion and that realizing who made up the crowd at the races made me not want to be at the races.
