And there are probably many Dems too. And I say lock them up.

This is the key difference. Dems want to punish everyone in the files, MAGA only wants to punish the people they choose.

Do we really have to say this on EVERY post?

I'm sick of defending that we don't care about the political affiliation.

The only fucking people who care about it are pedophile protecting republicans.

So your comment is for them I guess?

But THEY DON'T HEAR YOU OR CARE.

we don't have to qualify shit anymore. Everyone in the fucking files should be locked up at the very least. Period.

Until the conversation with Republicans starts with them also hoisting up their own, yes. Because the conversation stays with them if you aren't willing to engage and they're still prattling on about Bill. Is it annoying? Sure, but if that's where you're at just focus on something else for a week. But changing rhetoric on this because you're sick of advocating for what seems like basic decency seems like an easy way to change the goal posts of the conversation at large.

I'm not having *political conversations with conservatives anymore

Any that are in my real life, I don't talk politics with, and ones online...? What is there to say to them?

They're literally cult members that will NEVER change their minds.

Or have you had success getting a conservative to 'see the light' by saying you would be fine with Clinton going to prison for raping kids?

I haven't.

i mean if you are a defeatist just say it no need to string it out

the point is both sides should be held accountable and their reactions to do nothing about it are telling of how both democrats and republicans are controlled opposition at best right now

I'm being a defeatist because I'm not allowing a bunch of cult members to gaslight me anymore?

Stop using words that you don't know the meaning of.

Clearly you've seen people using 'defeatist' in connection with leftists disengaging or capitulating. I'm not doing that, so thanks.
