As far as my post , it was a direct response to a comment towards me. Yes I was baited to respond and probably would have been better to ignore the ignorance.
I actually considered not voting for either candidate as well in the election. I saw it as two bad choices. But in the long run I figured I had to choose one, so I went with who I still believe is the lesser of two evils. I still do believe 98% of politicians are willing to say anything to get your vote so don’t believe much from any of them. I will never blindly follow any one of them nor declare a radical loyalty to any one of them like so many seem to do over trump.
As far as joining a liberal forum goes, I am more conservative than I am liberal. Most of the animosity I get here is from my outspoken dislike of trump. Just because I think he was a low life dosen’t make me the scourge of the earth many think. I would vote for any decent conservative, I just haven’t seen one in a while. Also, when I joined this forum, many years before the majority here, it was a pretty respectful place to discuss prepping ideas. It has become so much more political now, with little respect shown for differing ideas and values. So as to why am I still active here? Sometimes I ask myself that as well. There are still several good people here with solid ideas and views, even if they differ from mine. I’m hoping it will become less radical, more respectful and get back to its grass roots of prepping. Still hopeful….
