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 a fan of motocross, and then made me less of a fan of motocross, because a lot of the fun is having someone else to talk to about it.
2. They have provided a pulse on what the MAGA crowd is thinking and talking about.
You get an echo chamber when you force out the people who have a different opinion, and then you see enforced beliefs as the people who stay continue to pump each other’s beliefs.
You guys are crazy. You drink the kool-aid and then talk about folks you don’t know based on what you hear from people on this board and people like the ones on this board.
Growing up racing I knew I was different than much of the crowd, but I loved it and had a blast. I went to college and paid off my student loans, struggled to get where I am in my career and now pay a lot on taxes from a blue state that goes on to fund red states and red state interests that I don’t always agree with.
Subsidizing citizens in any way should never cause us to fight against each other. Subsidizing banks and oil companies and other large corporations should cause us to fight together against such things.
I think it should be considered patriotic to want to support your fellow American, to want them to be better educated and to be healthier. If you build a country of the best people you will get the best country. Nobody here should be hungry or sick or homeless with all the abundance we have.
Members of both major parties are lying and pandering to keep their position and plenty should be in jail. These people are the “elites”, and not the people who live in cities and have college degrees, who they tell you to be mad at. You sound like an idiot when you mention Hunter Biden in response to Donald Trump’s legal trouble. One situation doesn’t excuse the other and and you’re just making yourself sound like a parrot in a house with Fox News on all day.

“you guys are crazy”
Pot. Meet Kettle😂
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.
Some funny shit bro.
You are no different than all the other leftist asshats that think they too, are enlightened.

Would you honestly not go to the races because people there that would vote for trump ?
To me , that seems pretty low . I mean if you enjoy the same thing why does it matter who you vote for ?
I assume we disagree on some social issues, but not all. Fiscally we’re probably more opposed. Echo chambers suck, I’ve found myself drawn into some and pretty quickly exited them. This isn’t one, opposing views are welcomed and encouraged. It just seems like you liberals can’t disagree on anything without taking it personal and getting butt hurt about it.
Then explodes and puts themselves on display for all to see.
It's never a pretty picture.
For the most part my rule of thumb for any political discussions is if it doesn’t deal with economics I leave it alone. Pretty much anything else is going to be emotionally driven and I have no desire to waste my time engaging in a futile effort to change someone else’s emotions.
My politics are based solely on the economic outcome of the policies of ones holding the pen.
Be it,
Local, state, or federal.
Crazy thing is, a lot of the policies of this current administration have direct consequences concerning our economic freedoms, and spending power.
I go riding and racing with a bunch of politically like minded people, but I don’t feel like I’m in a political club. Sure, we’ll discuss politics at the barbecue or when we hang out, but dirt bike days are for dirt bikes. We don’t load all our shit to drive an hour away and talk politics in the parking lot.
I think you need to find some dirt bike friends that don’t care to mix politics and moto.
