Surely, there are some people on the right that do it, but everyone of my friends that is libertarian or conservative usually posts on Facebook or Instagram about their job, memes, family photos, recipes/food they've cooked, a vacation, etc. I tend to see more leftists make their politics their entire identity. I even told my friend a bit ago, that thinks just like I do, that if he started posting all sorts of super rightwing stuff, I'd probably get tired of seeing it and unfollow or just unfriend him, because I don't want to see that from anyone.

Perfect example; on a local Facebook group, I posted asking if anyone in there was into martial arts, cars, guitars, cooking/foodie stuff, video games, etc. If they were sarcastic with a dark sense of humor, even better. I said since I moved here, I only know 2 people, my cousin and his wife. I need to make some friends that I can talk guitars with, work on cars with, go eat hot wings and drink beer with, etc. Ya know, basic dude stuff.

Other than 2 different gay dudes not having many friends (probably hard to make friends as gay guys in the conservative Bible belt of Middle TN), but I had one dude send me a friend request. I checked out his page and his first couple posts were guitar related, looked like he had some cool guitars, so I figured why not. After a while, when his posts started showing up on my feed, it's primarily the tired old cliches of Trump sucks, republican presidents always crash the economy and democratic ones save it, but it is slow going from having to fix all the republican mistakes, but Americans get tired of waiting so they elect a new republican. Then another about the black boy who got the Secret Service badge and he was like all he wanted to do was be a cop, but as happy as he is, there's some maga kid somewhere just waiting to grow up so they can beat him with sticks.

Goddamn man, how full of hatred and anger does your heart have to be full of to just hate on literally every single thing a guy does that YOU don't agree with. I didn't agree with much of anything Biden did, but I didn't spend my entire day thinking of how much I hated the man, or how I wish he'd just go away, etc; I just sat there and posted memes, posted delicious food I got to eat, pretty views of the snow, etc.

It’s likely gonna get worse before it gets better. You cannot help them. You have a better shot of a good relationship with a shape shifting alien than a brainwashed leftist nut.

The solution for me is not to go on facebook because there are many spirits of anger, jealousy, division, and gossip there that will impinge on my peace. I can love others better that way and was especially thankful I had abandoned it (long) before the covid mess. I only want to hear about sunshine and rainbows in my life from now on.
 
If we are talking 2a and suppressor purchases or folding polytech aks etc I don't mind.
If it's the general fuckery of MSPMS reporting on congress, or what Tom Cotton pretends he's gonna do, they can gtfo.
If I wanna know how the public is manipulated daily I'll peek at MSM for a minute...but not in person, thanks.
 

Well…
AKS’s 😂
One of the precursor weapons to the favorite of the pork eaters
I myself am not an AKS fan, or an AK..
Why people want sub standard reliability (AKS) or sub standard accuracy and adaptability to the mission (AK’s) compared to current day AR platforms is puzzling to me
😂😂

While I agree with most of your sentiments a rifle doesn't need to be a tackdriver to be effective. I can kill anything inside 100 yards without much problem. When I bought in steel case was cheap and so were mags. So was the rifle. Everything AR was more money. If it were today I would've gone a different route.
 
I don't understand how people feel they belong to a political party. These people don't give a single fuck about any last one of us. Damn near anything that leaves a politicians mouth is an attempt to distract us or drum up further personal sense of belonging to advance another agenda. We have days long training on how to navigate through their bullshit for lobbying.

One trait seldom found today is the ability to have discussions outside of one's comfort zone. Everyone seems to resort to name calling and mockery without listening to what they hear. Most will discount or outright dismiss any opinion they wouldn't hold themselves without even the slightest consideration of how the other arrived there. To me, this is the real root cause of division. Even though I certainly hold my own set of beliefs I enjoy trying to understand how others justify theirs. I've learned a lot of what I know from people I don't necessarily agree with.

Meme shit posting achieves absolutely none of that, so I'm with you there.
 
anyone that can't separate politics from the person, are going to be very lonely. I know people with good hearts, on both sides of the isle. I just know I can't discuss anything political with left leaning people, or they will go off the rails. My sister is a huge lefty, so will bury her head in the sand and get mad. I don't talk about politics with her, because I want our relationship to stay good. The difference is, she could talk about her politics and reasons all day, and I would make a concerted effort to listen and understand. Leftists won't do the same.

Typical trait of a lefty, it’s been that way for a long time now and we’re in this mess because many just sat back, being nice and would take it.

Them making their politics their identity is a good thing. Let’s you know if you are dealing with an insane person or a normal person. Better to have zero friends than to have lefty traitors pretending to be your friend.

My martial arts instructor refused to let anyone in the group that was a democrat, or worse, hardcore leftist. He was a bit of a hardcore rightist and that kind of got on my nerves, and the group's collective nerves. But, he was a good dude and taught us cool stuff. We just had to put up with the occasional "did you see what Hillary said?" or "those damn liberals are going to come for our guns, and I'll be waiting".
 
if they didn't we wouldn't know who the woke leftist useless idiots are. :dunno:

You can't fix stupid.

I just laugh at them and troll them.

Recently I suddenly have an interest in owning a Tesla. :D
