Let's all agree that we can hope there is no repeat. Mental illness has no party affiliation. We can't get caught in that trap. But I do think the normalization of disturbed conspiracy theories only exacerbates the problem. People who are otherwise sane repeat some horrific manufactured fiction as fact, and for people walking the edge of mental health and suicidal ideation, it can be a dangerous call to action.

FrantzHardySwag Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 It's pretty crazy that a thousand+ Americans are dying everyday, but our president is putting 100% of his effort into undermining democracy. 1 Link to comment

VectorVictor Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Question: if you have to leave Facebook or Twitter because you can't stand having facts get in the way of making outlandish claims...does this make you a snowflake? And if you have a bunch of snowflakes leaving Facebook and Twitter for MAGABook and Parler, respectively, wouldn't you call that a flurry of activity? And no, Parler isn't free speech--the racism and ignorance runs heavy and thick over there, and it's banning any "liberal" (read: rational, sane) voices reported to mods, as it has since June 2020: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200627/23551144803/as-predicted-parler-is-banning-users-it-doesnt-like.shtml 3 Link to comment

Moiraine Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Quote As the dust settles from the 2020 presidential election, one disappointed Mississippi legislator has a proposition for the Magnolia State. Instead of being governed by Biden, state Rep. Price Wallace (R) reportedly said on Twitter that Mississippi should “succeed” from the rest of the United States and form its own country. Fine by me. They can stop sucking the fed's teat then. https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2020/11/11/joe-biden-trump-election-live-updates/#link-OAK5HQY7NJC4FGJ4CMHNVVKRVE 1 Link to comment

It summed up why we can't build democracies over there. 3 hours ago, BigRedBuster said: Gabby Giffords says hi. Good point, Kennedy too. Too my knowledge no prominent conservatives advocated for angry confrontations or violence in the manner of Congresswoman Waters, Gov Cuomo, Oscar winner DeNiro, Vice-President Biden. 51 minutes ago, TGHusker said: And we become even more polarized as conservatives head towards group think within a 'safe' environment with like minded and the liberals in their group.

IF anything the silicon valley stalinists will use it to justify their censorship "They can always go to that other platform ignored by the masses" Link to comment
