Havent read that far back. Were you confronting a terrorist plot?

Do you think telling a potential self radicalized terrorist ot 'suck it up - and act normal' will make it better?

This is obviously EXTREMELY over your head. You're the one telling people to let it all out, all of their anger and hatred over losing. Not me. The right are the ones threatening polling stations with violence. Not the Dems. In answer to your question. I don't think it will make any difference. But you want to have some sort of "Be Best" attitude, while at the same time telling people to just let it all out. So only one side is supposed to do that... or?

Verbally. And not if they are treatening others. Again, are you making this sick example up, or were you confronting someone who actually said, they would resort to an act of violence?

(But even then, yes let it out (verbally) over shut up and close up emotionally. Although at that point, you are correct, this is entirely outside my expertise.)

"Armed Trump supporter arrested at NC voting site faces new charges"

"Armed Trump supporters attempt to storm Arizona election polls"

"Armed Trump supporters at Florida polling site were off-duty guards and had not been hired"

What are they showing up at polling stations for, armed? To keep the peace?

Haha, ok. Go celebrate or something.

Believe me, I am. How about you? Oh, that's right. Nothing to celebrate.

Hey, snap out of it. ;) Its me. I'm not your opponent on this. :) No, this behavior is not ok, yes this behavior is overtly threatening. No I dont condone it in any way.

I just didnt like the 'suck it up and take it' approach of settling the situation. ;)

I was merely telling the Trumpers to remember their own thoughts and words. In 2016 and throughout his entire 4 years in office Dems have been told told to suck it up, accept the loss, move on, called buttercups, snowflakes, told not to melt, not to be triggered, etc. etc. etc. Yet here they are.... causing a scene everywhere they go and every time they open their mouths. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

Not american, had no dog in this race. We're just watching and laughing. But you don't realise this do you?

The world hates you lot, your right and left. After 20 years of destroying other nations now you are destroying yourselves from within, but you deserve it.

I don't remember personally making any policies to destroy other countries. I am not a politician. I could say you did _____________ that hurt other countries because your country did it but I assume you're not about a politician either. It's easy to lump everyone in together but Governments pretty much do what they want and people don't really have a say. There are always innocent people in every country I have seen people in America say "nuke the entire middle east wipe them out" but that is ignorant as there are good people there too. I just think we should keep in mind Government's don't ask the people before they do things if they did it would be divided anyway so it's more sensible to separate Government and people of a country.

It would seem the media has declared Biden the winner, but the President and some Republicans disagree. So that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people celebrating with most not adhering to social distancing and some not wearing masks. It seems COVID-19 is no longer an issue with Liberals. I also don't see how realistically speaking the how the Liberals expect the Conservatives to concede and come together when they spent 4 years denying Trump was the President and calling the election rigged by Russia. Heck, now they claim elections can't be rigged. The Liberals are also claiming any unrest, such as protests would be Domestic terrorism, but when they burn, loot, rob and murder that's just peaceful protesting. I'm not going to concede for one minute and if the protests get ugly or impeachment is used as a weapon against Biden that'll just be karma coming back on the sore losers of 2016.

Oh, I realized you aren't American. Do you think you were being sneaky or something? Because it was quite obvious by your I hate America and Americans post. I realize plenty of other things too. The first is that you're a self absorbed, holier than thou, asshole. Is there some reason you don't have your own country flag displayed?

Respect your opinion but just be aware this is your first post and you're taking a stance against the majority on this site they will call you a bot/shill/rejoiner.

1) You mean like Republicans spent 8 years denying that Obama was President?
2) There WAS Russian interference in the 2016 election. Fact.
3) There is ZERO credible evidence of Dems rigging this election
4) I have seen no Dems saying elections cannot be rigged
5) If Dems could so easily rig this election, they would have done so the last one too, and Trump would have never been elected
6) Regarding protests, you can't just lump everyone into the same category. Myself and every other Democrat I know had zero part in burning, looting, robbing, murdering anyone
7) Republicans are also involved in violent, non-peaceful protesting
8) Sore losers of 2016? That's funny, coming from an extremely obvious sore loser this time around

And I was telling you not to do that. Eye for an eye is a terrible way of dishing out advise. ;)

For all I know you were really getting into it because you felt you ware 'protecting society' by telling other people to 'suck it up' and not wear guns, or protesting - demanding their version of 'justice', getting into a mindspace, where you were literally saving lives, by afflicting that amount of hurt you felt to others in return. ;)

Let the cycle continue, and we have a vendetta based society in no time.. ;)

(Hint: People protesting is there for them to vent that hate. Wearing guns while doing it is far from optimal or needed, but open carrying laws deal with that. Telling people that feel that driven about this cause to suck it up still is a bad Idea and yes - I'm being overly insistent on this, just to prove a point. ;) Not in principal. Emotionally I can understand your point. I'd be even inclined to let it slide, if I'd have read beforehand what you were addressing. :) But connect some dots here. Figure out how society works.. :) )

(If people are in those large ingroups chanting slogans and stuff, they feel larger, 'as one', being heard... the chances of those people making use of their guns is probably smaller (if you dont add heat, so they might become a mob), than if you have them somewehere in isolation 'sucking it up'. But no, I dont want to eat my words, or 'test that scenario' - here I'm just smug for no reason.. ;) )

You're still missing the point. Shrug. And that entire "protecting society" bit was just odd. A vendetta based society? Already exists.

Nobody was in a position to vote for them it’s only who they received coverage for, we have tons of third parties that get crap coverage and aren’t even on all the ballots. I sincerely think that if third parties got a fair share in America this year’s results would’ve been different.

That sounds like much the same story in the UK - there are smaller parties but in most cases it's just a waste of time and paper voting for any of them as only Labour and Tories have got a chance, you don't "have" to vote for them but mostly (for me) it's a question of voting for who you dislike the least out of those two

Do you remember the IMDB messageboards? Sometimes informative, other times hilarious, or even devious (the "I warned him" meme originated there), it was the go-to place to discuss TV shows and movies. Every single person credited had their own messageboard, which encouraged discussions about lesser known actors who wouldn't garner much discussion elsewhere. The "Where are they now?" topics were always interesting.

On Feb. 20th 2017, the IMDB messageboards were permanently shutdown. Why? Because Trump had won the election 3 months earlier, the MAGA troll army were still in the middle of their social media victory tour. Clearly there was no better place to hunt down "snowflakes," "cucks," "betas," "SJWs," etc., than on a fricking movie database messageboard. Well, specifically a messageboard that was owned by Jeff Bezos.

I think I get what notimp was saying just poorly worded. Let me try to figure out what he's saying.

I think he was saying to let people vent their anger by protesting no matter how hypocritical they are, because if they bottle their emotions they can get into violent outbursts, and maybe even into violent shootings. Its better to protest then to shoot. They'll eventually calm down and go to work.

This is the same belief, the call for internet censorship which prevents people from talking about their beliefs, after the shootings happened a few months ago. That if you ban Republicans from major sites then they'll find somewhere else to go and the only place that'll accept them is white supremacists. So you'll make the situation worse instead of better. You have to let people a space to talk and vent no matter how crazy you think it may be. This was the same argument used before and it looks like the same argument notimp is using I think. Let people vent rather then bottle it up inside. It'll do everyone good.

This is what feminist believe is the problem with men in society. That men don't express themselves and told to tough it out, which is why some are suicidal or abusive. It eventually piles on and on till they explode in anger. So you can't give the same advice to Republicans, to tough it out. Tough it out is what feminist belive is wrong with men in society.

Yes you have an urge to tell Trump supporters to suck it up because that's what they told you, you want to point out their hypocrisy, you want to do the same what they did to you, to rub in your victory. And to tell them be quiet because you don't want to hear them complain. But its a wasted effort on your part because democrats didn't shut up when trump won and Republicans aren't going to do the same after biden won.
