I don't think Candace Owens has ever been within a country mile of a fact in her life.

See, THAT'S exactly why you'll fit in. It's not enough to simply disagree, there's also the need to insult and downgrade. The divisiveness is rampid.

lol

All3's going to be in for a rude awakening when he finds out what socialists think about liberalism.

Of course, he doesn't know what either of those terms mean, so he'll probably just block you instead.

I don't think I am being divisive, especially considering that Candace Owens preaches hate. Her ideas are dangerous and encourage violence.

Because words are violence right ? But also the self-righteous activists on my social media feeds have been telling me silence is violence. That if I don't share the pre-approved correct viral post, I will be seen as racist. So which is it????

I don't see how those ideas contradict.

What is rampid? Some sort of new conservative word? Rampid: a defender's (but not a supporter) attempt to use language beyond the typical level of a Trumpet's education........ rhymes with limpid..............kinda like both the status of their intellect and their Johnson.

The only thing rampant around here is the brainwashed boneheaded folks still supporting the Tonto hiding behind walls and guard dogs in the People's House.

No big deal, but you really shouldn't use the term Tonto. It can be construed as a slur towards Indigenous Peoples.

See cireander, racism, hatred, lies and anything else they can think of are ok for some people around here, as long as it fits their attempts to degrade others. If someone else happens to do it, they act like it's the end of the World. Hypocracy runs wild.

You don't understand. Let me explain it to you.

We are organizing in secret and in open, alongside the official democrats. Our organizations shall be and will remain independent of one another, with their own distinct and mutually exclusive political agendas, uniting only for temporary moments of expediency. You, as an enemy that has to be fought directly, is a sufficient pretext for such a momentary alliance.

We will always ask more from you than you are willing to concede in order not only to threaten your status quo but to compromise your existing social order to such an extent that it can never be re-established. We will insist that our proposals be driven to their logical extreme. Moderation and reform, which you will attempt to placate us with, will be rejected outright. Our initial proposals with be transformed, at a time of our own choosing and at a time which is most beneficial to us, into direct attacks on your private property with the expressed goal of seizing them.

We will continue our attacks until you and people like you have been driven from all positions of authority, until we have conquered state power, not only in this country but in all the leading nations of the world and until competition between our organizations in these various states cease to exist so that all social, economic and political power, as well as all means of production, are concentrated exclusively in our hands.

Even if you choose not to resist, you can't get out of our way. We are coming for you.

Now do you understand?

No it cain't. Not by those that know about it.

You see, I live along Tonto Creek. Under the Tonto Rim. For real. It's God's Country.
Please don't move here. It's way to harsh for human habitation.

Tonto is a word given to the Apaches that roamed these parts. It's Mexican (Spanish?), I believe for fool.
The "chief" that this clan of Apaches followed was called Del Shay by the whites in these parts. I don't have time at this minute to look up his actual Apache name. We couldn't pronounce it anyway.......it would even be tough to spell in English.

Never the less they were termed this (Tonto) by the settlers (and the army) because they would not give up their way of life and "come in" to the fort (Camp Verde) and surrender to the white man's rule. Thus, they were "fools". This band/clan of proud people were actually the very last "wild" Apaches to surrender to the inevitable, to whatever extent they were actually able to.

Their favorite rancheria locale still exists (to some extent) unspoiled by modern times as it is so inaccessible, even today.
It's only about 15 - 20 miles from my house, but there is only one VERY TOUGH road in. Passable only by horse, or ATV with an experienced rider and HELP from another rider (or more than one). The "road" circles around a mountain and drops into Del shay basin from above (HIGH above, the road drops a couple thousand feet in the last 2 or 3 miles). It's literally a circuitous route of about 30 + miles to go 8 miles. There is a trail (walk and horse ONLY--not even an ATV can make it thru---too narrow) of 8 miles that goes (fairly) directly in to the stronghold but I haven't walked it yet!

I tried the road about a month ago but the guy I was with wouldn't go any further so we had to turn around.
I will admit it was getting VERY tough. Life risking for some units.

Anyway, long story to let you know I know EXACTLY what a tonto is and it has NOTHING to do with any insulting reference to ANY Apache anywhere.
Actually, to me, it is similar to the word "Chiracahua" when viewed in the Apache context. A word of status. Pride.

Otherwise it's just a term meaning fool.
And thus extremely appropriate for our POTUS AND his followers.

The word has been construed as a slur. Therefore, it is a slur.

Stop using the word or we will come after you. We might just come after you anyway even if you stop using it since you dared to question.

Did you just whitesplain the meaning of the word Tonto? It is a word from the Apache language (a dialect actually) and should only be used in that context.
