Haven't been up there is about 12 years or so but hopefully will again someday soon, I'm probably about an hour away including the uphill drive.auroraave wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 7:32 pmGreeting from Big Bear - David have you been here?DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 19, 2025 6:34 pmIt's so odd the difference between liberals and conservatives when it comes to protesting. Liberals are constantly in the streets waving signs, totally overrating the importance of their useless existence, screaming unintelligibly, throwing shit, looking like total losers that you'd want nothing to do with, backing up traffic and making things inconvenient for people who they not only never win over but end up making them hate their stupid guts whereas other than 1/6 and maybe a few smaller incidents conservatives don't ever do this. Even when they're whining about "election fraud", they pretty much do it all on social media.
What I have noticed a lot is that leftists can rarely ever support their supposed position on anything - as soon as they get challenged they get out maneuvered quickly by rationalists and then it's always the same - throwing a fit, yelling, and of course, you know when you've checkmated them because they call you names, call you a racist, etc. It's page one of the handbook. "I love it when they make it personal, it means they have no political argument left" is a fav quote of mine from Margaret Thatcher and it is so spot on accurate. Ask someone with TDS to be specific about their outrage target and you will get a laundry list of broad generalizations and the long list of stuff that was debunked years ago like 'kids in cages" or 'russia collusion" or "OMG Charlottesville!" and then the final outrage of "OMG he's like Hitler" which is my personal fav, especially when you point out he is pro Israel and anti war - literally the opposite of Hitler - and you just see those " veins popping on their outraged necks. The moment you make them dig deep on any policy - they fold and get mad. Like I always say in here, wash rinse repeat... for the last ten years.
But yeah, every time I see these people it's just embarrassing and I feel like I'm lowering myself just by even looking at them. They're like stupid, entitled children.
And they think they're out there "making a difference". PUH-LEEZE. How about staying home and making a difference in your children's lives? Oh wait, they handed them a cell phone and a Playstation and told them that those were their parents. Never mind.
