I see that **Librarian** has earned a suspension for attacking me. Again. Not that I complained to anyone about it; that’s not my style.

They are probably a reasonable person in real life in their milieu, but they are not American, hate pre-trump America, hate cars, hate US attitudes towards nearly everything but driving particularly, and especially hate what the USA has turned into.

As to that last item, nearly all Dopers agree w her: we’re passengers on a runaway freight train aimed straight into Hell. As to the other items, she’s a poor fit here. She seems (seemed?) to struggle with being able to hate the behaviors without hating on the people talking about the behaviors.

I doubt she’s in any sense a troll, a disingenuous shit-stirrer. But she does struggle with accepting that shouting “Wake up you stupid sheeple!” is not going to materially alter US culture.
