Shit's bad enough as it is, we don't need to lose our only way of talking to each other. I don’t want to wake up to a 404 tomorrow.

One of the reasons you gave for supporting Trump was that 'he gave you a voice'... Well, now your voice is repeatedly saying that covid is not dangerous... your voice is claiming doctors are inflating the death toll because 'they get paid more if it's covid'... Your voice is undermining the legitimacy of the election and calling for millions of legal votes to be thrown away. When your voice says such things, why should we treat it with respect?

Where did you hear about them? Who told you about them? Was it the same people who clued us in that Obama was a Socialist Muslim from Kenya who lied about his college grades? Was it the same people who told us the Putin Bromance, Global Warming, the Ukraine Shakedown and the Covid virus were all Libtard hoaxes? And tell me again what happened the last time? Did the Dems call the election rigged? Just what was it they did that you are so outraged and indignant about? Did they suppress the votes and gerrymander the districts? Did they tell those big, bad Antifa and Occupy people to patrol the polling places and brandish their assault rifles? Did they stack the courts with friendly judges? I remember Gore fighting the Bush election way back in 2000 but he graciously conceded when SCOTUS ruled against him. Is your Great Orange Hope going to be that gracious if he loses, in the unlikely event SCOTUS shoots him down? Sure, the Dems complained that Trump got in on an Electoral College technicality, but they never claimed the election was rigged or unconstitutional. Or is even complaining about Republicans something you people want to make illegal now? Biden has been a fixture of American politics for almost a half century. He has won and lost innumerable contests at the polls. Has anyone EVER accused him of even trying to rig an election, or of refusing to accept the results of one? Your boy has accused the only election he's ever been in of being crooked (until he found out he won it), and now he has publicly told us that if he doesn't win this one its only because it was rigged from the start--so it doesn't count. And he has repeatedly egged on his goons to intimidate voters at the polling places and go into the streets if he loses. Are you planning to join those Rocky Raccoon Republicans when the time comes to put on the cammies and strap on the leather? Or is Tiki torches and Hawaiian shirts more your style? Enjoy your tax refund, brother. You've earned it, but its about all you can hope for, now. You're going to carry that weight a long time. Tell me about those plans, Rob.

One thing about your posts, however, they speak volumes in the way they avoid the points raised by others in their responses to you. So tell us, how do you feel about your man declaring any result where he loses as 'rigged'? Is that the behavior of a man that values the democratic process, or is it the action of a wannabe authoritarian strongman setting the stage for violence?

I was in the largest of them, it was 100% peaceful... Your guy is very clearly setting the stage for violence and has actually flat out said that any outcome where he loses is illegitimate. PRESIDENTS OF A DEMOCRACY DON'T DO THAT! Violent authoritarians that plan to call for violence do... And you have supported this creature from day one.

I expect it from RL but not you. Podrock has his moments but manages to retain the ability to have a conversation.

The good guys still have the vote and the constitution. And the courage. That's why fascists are aggressive, and armed. Without their guns, they are cowards. And with or without guns, I don't think you people are going to do shit. Your bosses will persuade you your violence will be bad for their business.
