Hope this is allowed! I've browsed on this site for a while, even had another username where I engaged in some fairly civil debates with other users before I was banned due to not being a Q follower.
Interested in having a friendly discussion with anyone who's up for it!
A bit about me:
I'm a mechanical engineer working in product marketing I live in a major city, Chicago, and have pretty much only voted democrat I am a homeowner I have followed conspiracies for a while based solely on my own curiosity, and by and large found that a lot of the major ones (pizzagate, Q) don't make a ton of sense, but I'm not here to argue that. I think we're just gonna have different opinions on it.
All said, happy to have a casual AMA! Not interested in flamebaiting or arguing
Do you think being forward with your opinions that lead to insults is something that you like people to see you as, or not? Because you appear to be hyper-conscious of feeling as though you have to insult people, and I would imagine that's incredibly stressful.
A person does not have to be all in on supporting a person. They can support a president while still being critical of his policies. They can support a group wile disapproving of some of their actions. It never has to be all or nothing. I have friends I speak to regularly about politics and we have some days where we're upset with the current administration and some where we aren't. Some things that BLM has done I am incredibly supportive of, and I can also understand that many of their rallies have devolved into violence I don't agree with Things aren't so black/white, life/death.
I'm aware that I don't have to be here. I choose to be here to try and have civil discourse with people, because, if I'm being honest, I'm constantly confused how some people here get to the conclusions that they speak about. I don't think anyone is infringing on my rights right now, but you can't deny there are talks about violence towards anyone who is a democrat or even just wearing a mask.
Here's an image link of people on this site arguing about whether or not women should have the right to vote:

I think the way people see me is irrelevant. People usually decide in 5 mins whether they like someone or not. I stopped trying to impress people a long time ago. I made the comment in the original post bc your side of politics doesn't seem to handle the truth of the world as easily.
I can't ever get behind BLM bc their whole stance comes from a lie. Black people are not hunted down by anyone except their own.
I don't care what people say on forums regarding their views on violence. I'm more of a call me when they do it person. The thing is though, if we had a judicial system that actually worked in justice than the violence that caused the police to NEED to be in black neighborhoods would have been addressed properly & they wouldn't be blaming the cops today. Many of us have watched these communities decay through the decades knowing full well that criminals weren't being held accountable and none of us are surprised now that the police are being blamed instead.
Comments about violence over masks & bc people are democrats?
I think you are just reading the tail ends of a mindframe that started bc the dems call for violence against us. Like how Maxine called for violence against Trump supporters.
We just want America free and fair.
Eh, I don't think that's true. There are snap judgements people can make but opinions can change over time. You don't always hate the person you hate at first, and you won't always love the person you love. If your opinion on "my side" is so, do you autmatically assume that of me as well? Why not judge a person by their own individual actions?
The stance isn't that black people are "hunted down." It's that their perception is that their lives don't seem to matter as much as everyone else's do.
I absolutely agree that America should be free and fair. Do you think America has ever been that way?
