There was a long running Trump thread that eventually got locked, as a non American I found it a fascinatingly entertaining and an appalling little slice of social discourse. They run the liberals off the forum except for a few diehards, most presumably know better than to engage them at all.
Guns too, for a pastime associated with peace and zen you would be surprised how the fools act.

Of course these people will never admit to being rethugs, they are fine upstanding libertarians lol. WHo just happen to spend a life time voting for and endorsing the Rs.

The mind boggles.
