Are they self proclaimed "True Conservatives" who hate Trump, love giving away a 100+ billion to defend a foreign country while ignoring our own southern border, ignore how the current administration is the worst in all of US history?

The thing I love the most about these posts, is the idea that our members have a heightened sense of our importance and influence. We're just like Twitter! And Facebook! Woo Hoo!

Newsflash: We're not that big of a deal, in 2022. If you're a Fed looking to bust some idiots, you're better served cruising Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, etc, etc, etc.

Moderators actually bitch at us, because they're not allowed to read comments on y'alls accounts anymore. So yeah, they're totally able to insert table rows in a DB that I and one other guy alone, control. Jesus Christ, you maniacs.

"Does ARF do it?"

No. The answer is a very hard no. I'll quit and go work somewhere else for more money, before I'll be party to that horseshit. Good enough for you?

Stupid question. I know it isn't. You already have your mind made up.

So the 2A and AR15s are only for right wing Christians?

You do realize the more people from ALL walks of life who are getting into ARs is a good thing, right?

Or maybe it’s those of us who dislike trump over stabbing gun owners in the back?

Does that make me a leftist liberal?

I've been registered here almost fifteen years and I'm actually surprised to learn I've made 1,100+ comments so far.

My low post count to account age ratio is explained by my decision there's scarcely any point to contributing here.

Definitely less "fun & friendship" than a decade ago.

Used to go to monthly local meet ups at a bar or restaurant with other Arfcom members. We also had shoots & camp outs. Shot Matches & did training.

Now it's mainly people tearing into each other over "Political / Politician" threads (which really should be in "Politics & Activism" instead of G.D.)

Really miss a lot of the funny bastards who used to make those epic Arfcom threads of yore.

That's a really two dimensional viewpoint there. There are a lot of American on both sides of the 2 dimensional universe that are just as disillusioned with what is going on as you are. They too are exercising their constitutional rights. Not every democrat is the commie filth that infiltrated their party, and not every Maga republican is a neo nazi scumbag.

Does that make it easier for you to understand?

It’s better that it’s not an echo chamber.  Ideas can stand or fall on their own merits.

In my opinion it's because every single topic has become a team sport. Everyone has to choose a side and hate the other. You can't even remain indifferent because then both sides call you the enemy.

Beans vs no beans used to be funny because it was so outrageous for everyone to choose a side on such a trivial thing and debate, now every single thing Posted is that way.

It's tiresome...


Also, there is a lot of straight up trolling in GD.
Not really sure staff knows what a troll is as I have seen them ban goof balls for trolling (Rogueboss fastbluer6) but angry vicious name calling trolls are aloud to operate freely. A whole fuck ton of straight up angry name calling in various threads lately.

My 2 cent opinion, yours may vary, take it for what it's worth.
