    I'm sure any number of posters have, over time, made very slight shifts one way or another in their leanings on political subjects, but I don't think it's been too dramatic. The difference in the board is that many of those posters who offered an opinion more to the right than the Cafe majority, have simply disappeared. Maybe because they got tired of logging on, only to be called Nazi all day, in a "polite and reasonable" manner, of course.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          Wait, racists have feelings? Who would have known based on the vitriol they put out.

            Or maybe they just got tired of having to try to justify all the bull**** all the time.

              Course they do. They get highly offended when Jews, gays, and people of color maintain that they're just as good as the superior race folk.

                There’s a difference between people to the right of Kepler, and those who think peaceful protestors should be run over. Oh and those who “both sides” everything so they feel better about still grasping onto the R platform.

                I don’t miss the latter

                  Or, you know, Richard Nixon (created the EPA) and George Bush Senior (raised taxes when needed) would be Democrats in today's climate because the right has gone full whack-a- doodle.

                  It started with Reagan and has only accelerated since. My personal breaking point with the party was Caribou Barbie. And that was 13 years ago already.

                    I think you meant "left." Insofar as such a person hypothetically exists.

                      Being a "centrist moderate social libertarian" I clearly am far to the right of the "Cafe majority". While I was never what one would call a prolific poster, my input has dropped off over the past few years. It hasn't been the more vitriolic nature of the board but simply a change in my work hours limiting my ability to get on here as often. It's tough to argue one's point when it may be 3-4 days before you can reply or by arriving 2-3 days after the discussion has essentially ended (this post being a obvious example of the later). As far as being called a Nazi, I am reminded of Pierre Trudeau's response to Richard Nixon.

                              That’s been noticeable. It’s also happened in my family as GW Bush pushed many of them away from the R party for good.

                              some people are better left posting at other boards, where you’re not allowed to even say what your covid symptoms were or your lingering effects in fear of triggering the conservative snowflakes

                                I graduated high school an indoctrinated Republican. I graduated college a Libertarian. By the time I left my first full-time job, I was a Democrat.
