Sounds like my granddad when I explain to him for the seventh time that China isn’t full of communist demons.

I side with your granddad in this matter though. The People's Republic of China is, by any remotely western metrics, an awful and monstrous entity.

He literally believes that China is the antichrist, and that when my dad goes there for business, he’s engaging in spiritual warfare, but that’s a side point.

This is a bit of a stretch, even for me. I generally believe that business is well, business. I guess my approach and views are fairly pragmatic by default unless it is merited otherwise.

Diversity is the term that really means Liberalism, communism, and an attack on America. The greatest thing about America were the Europeans who started it with Christian values and the desire to create the greatest constitution ever created. Liberty, freedom, private property..... That's what makes America great, not Fooking Diversity!!!

Even if Carmine is a location and not an account name, Breitbart is by no means a regional website. A bit too much of a giveaway there.

Actually looking at the website, that's not their account names. The last bit is the person they're replying to (they're replying to the first one, who's actually named "Carmine"). The copy-paste format doesn't show it properly.

Well. They did it on a major platform. NS is an Internet backwater. The only reason we might be a blip on the radar is because of the UN/WA thing.

Strange rules exist in politics..... Dems calling for.... and committing violence against Republicans... is not their fault.... its the fault of Republicans for being so.... attackable.

Republicans calling out the vile rhetoric and the anti Americanism of the left is the same as calling for violence against the Dems.

Also note.... Dem Logic tells us.... Republicans and Christians are all bad and must be silenced.... but Dems and Muslims saying Anti Semitic Slurs don't really mean bad.... its just when Juice and Republicans hear it... then its bad... because the Republicans are Anti Semitic and Islamophobic!

If this makes no sense to you.... you'd be right!
