Troll Heaven

I occasionally visit an obnoxious political group page on Facebook that goes by the misleading name, "Opposing Views". The only filters forced on the group are those arbitrary ones Facebook has in place. It would be an understatement to say there were no rules, very little civil discussion, or anyone there who comes away with a different twist on their political views. It's Troll Heaven; a no holds barred bar fight. 

When I joined more than a few years ago, I thought maybe this page would be different. I thought maybe there would be a balance of viewpoints that could end up in civil debate. I was wrong. If I had to guess, the foaming at the mouth the population of Micro Penis Packing Rabid Right Wingers have a two to one advantage over us Wimpy Little Woke Pinko Commie Libtards.

While what I hoped for did not come to pass, what I found still pleases me no end. I have a place to vent, rant, wag my virtual finger at the enemy. I love mixing it up with assholes online. Always have, ever since the days of Newgroups back in the 1990s when I used to twist panties on a "The South Shall Rise Again" newsgroup. It was a target rich environment and so is "Opposing Views".

Now, 30 years since the old Newsgroup days, the small nasty groups of Right Wing extremists have become much bigger nasty groups. And the nastiness they are selling now has no limits. It's almost Doomsday level nastiness that might remind one of a world from 90 years ago.

I ran across this meme on Opposing Views. I think it refers to the Charlie Kirk murder. Regardless, the comments of two of the most vocal Winger participants on Opposing Views illustrates the Christian Nationalist influenced cult mindset that has the Right by the short hairs today. 

Angered by what they consider disrespect for one of their fallen heroes, Steven P is calling for Democrats to swing from every lamp post in DC; while Florence L wonders, "Which one? so many in the democrat plantation party."

This is the mindset that seems determined to destroy the America I grew up in and replace it with a dark Dystopian Theocratic America my daughter and her husband will have to live with. I hope I am wrong. I hope Trump and his evil clown circus is just the pendulum swinging too far in one direction and will hopefully swing back sooner than later. .......... Hope springs eternal .... even from me sometimes.

Until then, I will nag and pick at them, twisting Republican knickers wherever and whenever I can.

Gotta Bounce, the house won't work itself.
