Let's boycott political threads - Who's with me? (1 Viewer)

[NREC34]

Real scandal?  How do you know?  You guys have been screaming bloody hysterical murder since November 4th over everything Trump.  

If he steps left instead of right - OMG!!!!

If he watches Netfilx instead of Amazon - OMG!!!

If he looks up instead of down - OMG!!!

If he picks Chocolate instead of Vanilla - OMG!!!!

When you scandalize everything, then nothing is a scandal anymore.  So when people roll their eyes at you, don't be surprised.

What about if he colludes with Russia to affect our election and obstructed justice?

You left out that one for some odd reason.

I bet you never said anything about Obama not wearing a flag pin or swatting a fly or anything trivial like that did you, snowflake?

Isn't a boycott a political action.  Isn't the term BOYcot sexist?

Named for Capt. Charles Boycott

In the 1870s, Irish farmers faced an agricultural crisis that threatened to result in a repeat of the terrible famine and mass evictions of the 1840s. Anticipating financial ruin, they formed a Land League to campaign against the rent increases and evictions landlords were imposing as a result of the crisis. Retired British army captain Charles Boycott had the misfortune to be acting as an agent for an absentee landlord at the time, and when he tried to evict tenant farmers for refusing to pay their rent, he was ostracized by the League and community. His laborers and servants quit, and his crops began to rot. Boycott's fate was soon well known, and his name became a byword for that particular protest strategy.

FTR, I'm ok with Trump so far. Not loving what's happening but willing to see how things play out still.

Not willing to jump into the anti-Trump circle jerk threads in the FFA though. You can all have your fun.

We should just have a Trump forum

Yes, we are the ones acting like hysterical loons.  Have you seen the Orange Dildo tweet lately?

It's adorable watching you continue to defend irrational stupidity of a man unfit for office.  Many have you on ignore; me? I just find you high unintentional comedy.  Keep at it, mate.

I stopped following Squis.  What did he say?

I thought there was going to be some effort to limit the number of Trump threads on the board.  Seems like there's a new one everyday.

There's a significant number of people on the board that would be delighted if there was a politics forum so that the FFA could get back to talking about Yoga Pants and deriding people that put ketchup on steak.  Can't we get back to being gambling degenerates?  Talking about our favorite TV shows?  Helping people with Excel problems?  These political threads are complete fun sponges.

Sure, I've been known to post in one from time to time, but I would be overjoyed if there weren't any on the board.

How can we break this chain?  I'd like to propose a boycott of political threads.  Just stop posting in them.  Let them drop off the first page like dominoes.  We can turn this thing around.  Who's with me?

This boycott starts with me, and it starts now.

Are you sure you don't wanna streak to the quad instead?

Why boycott them? This is by far the most interesting thing going on right now and we should just not talk about it? 

 

[Statorama]

Well gosh doggit that did not produce the political thread slowdown I'd hoped for.

Got an angle I'm working on for a lighter side of politics, I'll try to bring some fun back to that world.  Too bad we don't have a test forum to work out the kinks.

Developing...

I think this thread was started by Russian internet trolls to distract people from Trump's crimes!
