Cunt also shouldn't be considered derogatory but as a Henry Miller admirer I'll let that one slide for a separate discussion.

Is please do this better a place where people don’t get called names? Seems to go against everything this website stands for.

Look...I used the C word because in this case it was called for.  I've been on this and TOS for about 10 years now and that was the very first time I've ever gone after anyone like that.  That said, to start another stupid fucking whining thread about the moderation of this site warranted being called a cunt.  And for the record, I didn't even neg her stupid fucking whining post because I'm not a bitch.  If she wants to stay in the stupid CR and get jerked off by people for saying "cheeto bad", then great.  Y'all have fun and know that most of this board agrees, but there is a place for that.  Keep it there.

Yeah that's what it was. The cabal just wants to play the typical blame game where they can somehow feel superior.

Politicking the shit out of it ?  Hardly, there were political comments made, I made a few, and either edited them away or got called out on it. The humor was every few days the CR boys made a run at the thread, and tried to get in to a slap fight with someone ....... anyone as long as they could spout off their political views.

You're conflating people who don't think like you and repeat the propoganda as some partisan hacks. Especially considering the president has been tweeting the same debunked talking points that get echoed in DT. Unless you're telling me that we do in fact have COVID under control and we should resume reopening?

This is simply not reality. I know you want it to be. Which is it - politics are unavoidable in today’s news, or have right wingers politicized DT?  Those are two different points. At any rate, politics are avoidable in news, and no, right-leaning posters haven’t co-opted DT as their propaganda machine. I don’t know anyone who thinks like me (conservative) that can even stand Trump.

Politics are necessarily unavoidable in discussing current events and today's news. COVID, nascar nooses, police brutality, confederate memorials? Not sure how you avoid politics when the president is actively taking a side and participating in the bad faith and false arguments

And right wing posters haven't co-opted DT into an active propoganda machine, but y'all whine and cry whenever someone links a cause or source to our current situation. And actively push out and discourage even mentioning anything around the decision makers whose decisions put us where we are and are keeping us here.

There is your problem.  You see and look for politics in anything and everything.  Opening back up was a purely economic decision as Rex said.  They should have mandated masks obviously, but I would have supported any governor opening back up regardless of political party. 

[Captainant 27308]

The decision to trade GDP for human lives is pretty inherently political, my dudes. Especially in the face of opening ahead of data-driven guidelines and medical guidance. 

But hey, I guess it's all just spilled milk and we gotta hope there's no further economic anxiety to justify ignoring data to reopen early again.

The opening up was an economic decision.  There are no more stimulus checks in the pipeline (which happens to be a political decision, as it breaks along party lines), and it's doubtful that the additional aid for businesses that was discussed is going to happen, so if we don't open, we watch the Texas economy really crater.

The mask thing was a purely political decision, reinforced by various law enforcement agencies in Texas refusing to follow Abbott's orders, and the protests in front of the Governor's Mansion, while all of the experts were saying "wear a fucking mask!"

I'm not an Abbott or Goeb fan - but masks and opening up are two separate issues.  They can go hand-in-hand, but they didn't.

While I disagreed with the opening policy, it's easy for me to do so, as I'm working from home, and my wife could also work from home.     

You are forgetting one crucial thing about the opening policy:  A shitload of people and businesses cannot function from home.  If we had stayed closed for another month or two, a shitload more people would be out of work, a shitload more businesses would be going under, and with a lack of stimulus/relief money on the horizon, that means a shitload of people/families losing homes, etc.  Throw that on top of the mental health issues that have been rapidly rising as a result of the past few months.

Do I think Abbott was considering the political implications when weighing reopening?  Absolutely, but I do not think they dominated the decision-making - had there been more  stimulus/relief money for individuals and businesses in the pipeline, I think Abbott would have kept things closed, or left it more up to the locals.

Just check the DT threads on the financial fallout from covid to see why we had to open back up, and why it's less political and more financial.

The economy as a whole is much stronger arbiter of wealth and power than any political entity. You seem to think the opposite. Which is fucking hilarious.

Bullshit. 

Every single one of those topics you brought up could have a million posts that has nothing to do with politics. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

One example- COVID- I understand the need for shelter in place, social distancing, washing hands, etc. while also understand why those that want the restrictions lifted for fear of the long term effect to the economy (in many cases to their own business).
 

Those are 100% both opinions that are valid and neither is political. See how easy that is? I can actually understand (GASP) both sides.

And Onboard is 100% correct. What you fail to realize is you (and plenty of others on the other side) make it a habit of taking a topic or a post that has nothing to do with politics and making it ALL about politics. That is a YOU problem. It never ends. the circle jerk of blaming the other side was going on well before the day Trump was elected and will continue far longer then the day he is no longer the POTUS.
