Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Okay.
In 2016 I voted for Hillary. After that, well, I believed I was doing something good by trying to figure out why right wing extremists were threatening my family and going to ruin everything. As democrat for 35 year, urban activist, I was super worried about Qanon, and all the families ruined over this crazy delusion.
I'm crying right now btw. I can type this, I can.
I came here.
I followed all of you. For years. I worried. I became somewhat obsessed and I warned everyone about what I was hearing. I thought, my God, this must a Russian psyop. When Jan 6 happened I knew it would happen when everyone in my liberal circle didn't. They were of course shocked.
But I had gone even further. This had ripped my family apart too because my grandparents were farmers, and so I came from both worlds.
I saw that a guy from my HS was now supporting Trump. It made me sick, but I called him and wanted a beer. I forced myself to go, to ask why. I was so freaked out about the things he was saying, and I knew too, as a nurse, I wasn't ready at all to start helping with what I thought was a national delusion and one I was convinced would destroy us all.
This guy was actually my HS crush. He was still super hot, and that is pretty lucky for me, because we ended up going on a second date.
We fell in love, but I couldn't bring myself to date a "Trump supporter".
We separated, 3 years. He followed, didn't anyone else. And so I gave him another chance. But this time, he was more prepared. He put me on all the best YouTube and independent media, and he spent the time over a year, patiently showing me, day after day, calmly and sweetly showing me.
I voted for Trump last week. And I know what you know, and I am here to thank you, all of you, for saving my life. I left the city. I found Jesus.
And I know.
Much love, and I pray for all of you, your families, and all that you went through, and the times I tried to talk you out of it on here - I was wrong.
I haven't been back here for years, so, some of you may or may not remember. Maybe some have been here that long. I know that you probably felt like things were pretty futile, for a long time. But you did one good thing, you saved my life, and made me very happy. We are getting married, we have two dogs and buying a house in the country. I couldn't be happier.
God bless America
