I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Essentially, the left’s rule is that nothing bad—no matter how true—may be said about Muslims or Islam and nothing good—no matter how true—may be said of Christians or Christianity.

DID YOU PAY MORE OR LESS TAX THIS YEAR?
"The Tax Foundation noted, “The new tax code lowered tax rates, doubled the standard deduction, doubled the child tax credit and expanded eligibility, and limited the alternative minimum tax. It also limited several deductions, such as for state and local taxes paid and mortgage interest … Approximately 80 percent of filers had their taxes cut by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, while only 5 percent saw their taxes increase.”

DEATH COUNT OVER 300 NOW.
PLEASE PRAY FOR SURVIVORS <3
"105 churches and/or Christian buildings are burned or attacked every month.
345 Christians killed for faith-related reasons every single month.
Why does the most persecuted religious group in the world receive the least sympathy from world leaders and the media after each devastating attack?"

Unlike most articles on healthcare, this one delves into the ethical dilemmas in the fine print. Well worth reading.
For example: "Under "Medicare for all," gynecologists or nurses who refused to perform an abortion — to end a human life — would have their employment agreements revoked. In other words, they would no longer be able to work for the only medical employer in the whole country: the government."

@schestowitz yes, when "at least hint at right-wing bias" is labeled as Far Right and White Supremacist as the article does, they're doing it wrong.

There's more going on than the #democrats trying to spin the no collusion report in #uspol
500,000 students home from closed schools here in Denver yesterday.
But they must not be releasing the real reason why. What we know about the high school girl who flew in from Florida doesn't seem like enough to throw a whole metro area into panic.
Kids back to school today as the FBI womanhunt is over.
@Liberty4Masses only if you guess low. Guessing high and over paying is fine.

@SecondJon They also seem to have a very warped idea of what a democracy is and what it's supposed to be to say the least
@Saederup92 Yes, it makes it look like they've given up on democracy, given up on convincing people on ideas, and are instead ready to ditch a free democracy in pursuit of power.
#democrats in Illinois ban Trump from 2020 ballot. Because democracy.
Another problem with the National Popular Vote. Step 1: NPV. Step 2: legally prevent votes for your opponents in enough states. Step 3: democracy is dead, but you gain power.
