@grannyring happy 4th is not a non-political post. It is as political as if you said "free Gaza!"
Your first post was also trolling and very political. You invited all the politically charged responses:
Happy 4th of July to my fellow Agoners! I am thankful for this country and yes even the fact that we don’t have a king. Enjoy family and friends this weekend.
If you don’t understand that, you are living in a bubble. It’s not my opinion, it is what this divided county is experiencing now. There was a comment here celebrating Alligator Alcatraz. If anyone had relatives who died and/or survived the Holocaust (I do) they understand what alligator alcatraz is, and the 45 billion dollars that ICE is getting to terrorize blue states, build private prisons and labor camps. That’s also what the WH broadcast for days as a reason to feel great about the 4th of July along with the bill.
It is true that the discussions should be audio related. Strangely, when Biden was president, no one cared about that rule. Anyone could call him an idiot, blame bidenomics for tube prices, that time it was all relevant, as everything affects everything. If an audiophile was in a bad mood because a democrat is in the WH, then it is audio related stuff. It is (current person in WH) off topic now, I can quote what the moderators wrote me. Not that political stuff is banned, That any negative posts about this president will be removed. That’s when free speech ended here.
It would be nice to have an intelligent discussion about anything but it would take both sides to behave and communicate in a civilized manner. Safe to say it will never happen. Maybe after a massive collapse that is inevitable now.
