> [@orcenio](#): > > [Duty calls](https://xkcd.com/386/). Yes, I know. Everyone here is (various degrees of) wrong, and all are bathing in liberal hypocrisy for hating on Trump. Also, without your helpful posts, they’ll never realize just how/when/or to what extent their wrongness exists; but trust me, it’s okay. It’s okay to let them “be wrong.” It’s okay to let someone else have the final word. It’s okay to make a unique/useful/quality post and then watch it slowly be buried with the influx of other posters. It’s all okay. > > And before you inform me. Yes, I also know that I’m wrong too. I’m probably not accurately defining or describing your situation. However, I’m just trying to let you know it’s probably not useful (to whatever your viewpoint is) [to post in such absurd amounts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=816352) in a thread. No, you’re not wrong. I may have been too diligent in policing the board for liberal orthodoxy. I have a particular aversion to ideological purity tests, I think I will start using shorthand to address arguments that keep getting repeated over and over again. I used to do this by demanding that people address my points before repeating their point but almost no one ever bothers to do so. BTW, how did you do that with the post count? ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > **DA** , has it never occurred to you that you’re being baited? If you’re repeating responses to the same arguments, why not simply post a link to the original response rather than continuing The Dam Show? All you’re doing now is getting more people to ignore you. So wait, I am being trolled with accusations of trolling? Well it looks like 40 of those 110 posts were posted after the accusations of trolling started flying around and quite a few of the posts prior to that was addressing the issue of the enforcement of liberal orthodoxy so… Let me think about that. ---

You cannot be that naive. > [@](#): > > So the protest was to remind a guy that just won an election that the supporters of the losing candidate were keeping an eye on him? :rolleyes: Yeah the executive order shows exactly how seriously THAT threat was taken. And he’s had to roll back on a bunch of things because of outrage and protests. The demonstrations at the inauguration were a warmup. Given Trump’s ridiculous reactions to inauguration crowd sizes, the initial post-election protests, and the Popular vote I’d say he’s definitely feeling the effects of them. > [@](#): > > Do you have a cite for his rape conviction? Or are you hyperventilating? > > So the Electoral college was designed to give these flyover states (most of which didn’t exist in 1789) an excess amounts of influence? :dubious: > > So the electoral college was meant to give slave states excess representation? You sure about that? Or is that more hyperventilating? At the time of the signing of the constitution, there were many more people in slave states than in free states. Remember that places like New Jersey, Maryland, New York and Delaware were slave states. The electoral college was the result of the compromise between big states and small states that produced the two houses of congress (congressional delegation would be based on population and 2 senators would come from each of the states). Please learn some history. Even in the 18th century it could be seen that the populations of the Northern states (some of which had legal slavery but nowhere to the systematic level in the Southern states) were growing much faster than the Southern ones. The desire to not lose influence in the Southern states combined with the smaller Northern States (DE, RI) desire to not get outpaced in population just from lack of real estate led to the Electoral college. The result is what we have now, which is ludicrous and outdated. It encourages non-participation in states that are overwhelmingly in favor of one party and reduces the value of a vote in more populous regions. But more to the point, as I said (and you dodged like a coward):\* to remind people who are genuinely threatened by Trump’s violent rhetoric, bile, and racism that they are not alone in opposing this bloated muppet that somehow got elected.\* You complain about liberal orthodoxy, then dodge one of the main reasons anyone protests. > [@](#): > > Do you need a paper bag or something?

I’d like to congratulate **Damuri**. I’ve long held that the ignore list is nought but a tool for the weak; those who can’t ignore people the old fashion way … by ignoring them. But he has now succeeded in cracking me. I am weak. I now have an ignore list which is one name long. I apologize to the Central Cynics Committee for my transgression, but my fucking scroll finger cramps up in every goddamned thread he posts in. ---

> [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > I think some of the people here are being unfair and engaging in liberal orthodoxy but you’re just retarded. If I quoted some of your conspiracy theories about Trump, I think most people would agree that you are a retard and do more harm to your side than good. Wow, dummi, you are on some kind of trip. The problem is that it requires that you never answer anyone directly. Or quote anyone honestly. You talk about me a lot. So go ahead and quote me on trump. Make my day. I have posted a few times. Try to say one thing you haven’t already beaten into the ground. With a point. Not just name calling and concern trolling. Don’t be a repetitive, pedantic bore. You are losing the sympathy of “most people” so I wouldn’t poll them on our relative sanity. It wouldn’t come out like you fantasize. How do you think it looks to use the “retard” card every time you say something to me? Do you think it makes me look retarded? Finger pointing always goes back to the finger, you know. Do you even remember what it was you said was retarded, and who said it? Are you just a bot or something? ---
