zoogs Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 @teach's post: Imagine loving Trump so much that this is the side you spend your energy defending. Imagine being so simpering in your devotion that you follow me around, posting snide personal attacks in unrelated threads and status messages for upwards of a year. If this is a cry for help, I hope somebody hears it. In any case, I ask that you stop this and occupy yourself with something else. You may get off on badgering me, but it's a pitiable sight to behold. Link to comment

I have a FB friend who tells everyone to stop being divisive because it's ruining our country, in response to anyone saying anything negative at all about Trump or posting about any of his words or actions. This gets used with Husker fans too. It is so annoying. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 People use the word "agenda" too gd much, and as if it's a bad word. Generally in response to anything they deem liberal. In fact, I already posted about it in this topic :p 1 Link to comment

But I disagree that is used generally to chastise liberal thought; it's used to make a lazy argument against any political argument. However, I think the post in question was more of a parody of some internet outrage. Plus, I don't think @huKSer is a raging conservative, I might me wrong though... Edit: nm..I didn't catch who used the word in the thread until I went back. @huKSer isn't who you were referring to. Link to comment

It just seems to be used way more often anytime someone does something perceived as liberal. It's also used too often when discussing football. Ya, I thought @huKSer's post was funny. Link to comment

The vast majority of leftists and Democrats don't want to tear down statues of Washington or Lincoln. I will add, though, there is no reason for us to continue honoring Columbus, and I don't understand why people would care if we stop celebrating him. To call it cancel culture to realize we never should have celebrated someone in the first place is stupidity. 1 Link to comment
