Calling people here racist, fake liberals who don't support deals with the devil that we have made just to gain an irrelevant inch or two against the rethuglicans could make me question those who do it just as easily. I've seen those with the same priorities as me and with good hearts get easily manipulated by those with hidden agendas yes but I also know spotting the manipulators isn't always as easy as we think. The real racists are easily spotted and, no, not because they disagree with the moderate direction our president has taken. The real ones are wolves in wheels clothing but watch out because before long everyone will be pointing fingers at everyone else and yelling " narc!" This is what the actual narcs want. It's call destabilizing. It's a weapon of economic, military and political warfare. When I was heavily involved with activism the good people always had many disagreements which usually revolved around who was willing to be the most willing to sacrifice and put their ass on the line versus those who wanted a more moderate, measured approach that wouldn't jeopardize their future personal goals. It is quite correct to assume this site is infiltrated but figuring out who is who is a lot harder as I can attest the informants that infiltrated our organizations were always trying to divide us or convince us to be more extreme in our actions. I understand the frustration but as a liberal since the age of 17 and someone who has actually fought in the trenches I find this post completely unproductive, distracting and offensive.
