Cat, believe me when I say I have never read anything from MMC2 close to this hateful venom. If he has I’ve missed it. MMC2 usually has one liners which some have been not very nice. But, this was one of the worst posts ever written.
He not only attacked who he did, he attacked *me* and others. Folks who voted for his hate symbol are deemed racists! This post was so over the line it landed in the far left field (baseball analogy). People like him made me stop my husband from wearing his MAGA red hat. It’s got to the point all red hats are a no no. I’m sick and tired of it! I readily admit I don’t like personally the occupant of *The Chair* (foot in mouth, stick a sock into it), but the economy is better than it’s been in decades. Poverty is down, more people working, less food stamps, etc. I wonder how many people on froggie’s bandwagon didn’t have jobs 4 years ago...but now do. Many times I hold my nose and vote with my pocketbook, not because he’s a good feller, he’s good looking, he’s the first whatever....sigh

Ksp, MMC2 has said things every bit as hateful, and I've pointed it out to you several times. It's that you're somehow blind to it when it's someone whose political position you agree with, but not when it isn't. That's what I object to.

As bad as this? I’ve read replies where he was snarky (not nice at all) to an individual poster and his/her posts. But, I honestly haven’t read where he put *all* of H.C.’s supporters in a caldron. I’m not blind to his snarky replies....not at all comfortable when he gets too personal. But, his remarks are off the cuff and usually a one liner. Not excusing them, but I just chalk it up and decide it’s not worth the tiff. He hasn’t as far as I know not posted his Manifesto like froggie did. If froggie had posted short replies similar to MMC2 I would just dismiss those also. But, this was beyond the pale. I’m tired of being called a racist because of how I vote. I’ve voted for both parties in the past.
When you called me to task for broad brushing those whose ideology is different from mine I apologized. You were correct. My dear lifelong friend (who I stay with when in Florida) and family are of your political persuasion. No problems because it’s off limits. On one occasion she noticed I was wearing a Jackie O replica watch. Her response “I thought you didn’t like the Kennedys!” My reply? “I don’t....but I liked the watch!” No more was said.

Come on, Ksp, he regularly refers to those on the left as "Libtards," and otherwise insults and vilifies those with whom he disagrees politically. These are not merely one liners or off the cuff remarks, nor are they only directed at individual posters.
Yes, you apologised, and I appreciate that. I've also told you many times how much I admired that you and Naps, whose politics are opposite of yours, were able to discuss and remain not only civil, but friendly. That's as it should be, but usually isn't!
My dearest and closest friend is the same. I adore her. But I had to make it clear early on we just couldn't discuss politics. It works out fine :)

“he regularly refers to those on the left as Libtards"
Call me a Trumptard, a Trumpster or anything else; I would prefer being called anything other than a racist, a fascist and other similar nomenclatures. How do you prove a negative? I do wish MMC2 would curb his remarks. Ad hominem attacks gain nothing.
Please read froggie’s manifesto very carefully. He is writing words to incite violence. He is thinking the way Antifa thinks and behaves. I don’t believe MMC2 has reached that level yet. We are called the “New Brown Shirts”? We aren’t stifling free speech, we aren’t knocking old men off bicycles, we aren’t in gangland style attacking a reporter, we aren’t running the streets of Portland.
Edit: BTW, MMC2 is not my friend. He’s a poster to whom I rarely reply due to being fearful of his response. I don’t wish to encourage him.
