hey folks. any californians here?

I see possible a couple up there in history

We are here, but there is not too many and for the most part we are busy with IRL stuff

One trouble is that a lot of people who were more active in the summer are now busy with college (or high school)

Or kicked as far as califorinan users go 😀

are you referring to the furry or the brony

A touch on @Snoipah 's question, to be right wing in this state really bites, a lot of my rights are on the fence in public places I should feel okay to express myself in (my high school).

Either you get into trouble with the Administrators or people just think youre a dick.

I have to be careful of what I wear/say around teachers too because if they find out I am indeed right-wing, they will be biased on grades.

For example, one semester of English nobody ever knew I was a Republican, and I had an A in the class. As soon as I did a presentation on 2A rights, in the second semester, my grade went down to a B- all after that.

The hypocrisy of the left, supporting Colin Kaepernick calling it his right to free speech, but oh no for people like me you are silenced by everyone including the media.

Its pathetic.

You're lucky if all you have to worry about is a bad grade. I have to work, so I absolutely cannot afford to talk about my political leanings in their company. My coworkers aren't SJW by any means, but normies are easily seduced into believing far-left talking points, like, say, supporting Kavanaugh against his accuser makes you a rape apologist.

It's funny(not in a haha funny) how people made jokes on 4chan about "hiding their power level" back in 2010, but now it's something you actually need to do or people will treat you like garbage.

That might be the ace in the hole for the right, because during the 2016 election the silent majority revealed said power level. The left believes that "if we keep people quiet about their opinion, their opinion will change" but the only way to change someone's opinion is letting them dig their own grave.

Sometimes I worry that I'm shadowbanned on twitter even though I only really ever play devil's advocate.

It's totally true; I am open to changing my opinion, but if you just sit there and propagandize then I won't even consider your position, because you have proven that you don't have faith in its truth value yourself

I was skeptical for a long time, but the single biggest reason I voted for Donald Trump was that his victory proved that you can't eliminate a view just by calling it "fascist" and "Nazi" and "evil"

The way the Democrats have continued to act, I'll just keep my mouth shut and vote for him again in 2020

They've given me no reason to do anything else, after all

What is going on here

Who are you talking to?

I am talking about Snoipah's point above regarding "hiding their power level"

I mean yeah

Not completely wrong

What has he said wrong?

@PiT

I was speaking in re Democrats; my point is that if their ideas are as good as they want to believe they are, they would do a better job of persuading people if they'd actually talk rather than just bully their opponents into submission

That is how they win

Because they make us look weak when we get all worked up being called racist

They not only make us look weak, but they stigmatize the very act of holding a mainstream political view

Just look at the hysterics over the Kavanaugh accusations; listening to them you would think he has already been convicted

I agree

We have to make our own alternatives

Cucked

@PiT I'm lucky if that's all I have to worry about? This is what determines my future, if I don't do well, I'll be working at McDonalds my entire life :/

I assumed you were in college, and, unless you plan on going to grad school, nobody cares what your college grades are

but looking at the evidence further it appears you are in high school

that actually does matter then

hey all I'm CA-50 can somebody tell me who's /ourguy/?
