    I am not aware of them supporting Censorship.

    RW have many immoral policies. RW oppose helping disabled people, RW support guns which were used in 572,000 deaths in 1999-2016. Definitely both sides of American Politics are morally bankrupt.

    But at least Conservatives tolerate dissent and thus leave room for change.

    The liberal agenda ... open borders, free medical care, free college, unlimited abortions, no planes, no cows ...

    It's an aggressive plan.

    That’s not been my experience as a liberal. I once got banned from a forum because of ONE post that the forum owner felt was disrespectful to the “office of the presidency,” ie, the man occupying the office (GWB). Other forums that I’ve checked out are clear havens for the right, where the right wing posters troll and attack the lefties with impunity, but as soon as a lefty fights back, he gets slapped down, infracted and eventually banned. Like Hell the right doesn’t support censorship.

    We’re all guests.

    After that the post is a jumble of confusion.

    Is the complaint that companies are using automated programs to delete automated programs on their message boards? For example, Russian bots.

    Yeah, considering the rate of “banning” of “conservatives” on sites the issue was much larger than the companies care to admit. Especially when they had already created the technology to suppress it.

    Is the complaint that companies are utilizing automated programs to monitor their sites and “conservatives” posters are being caught up in the script too many times and banned?

    If that is the complaint then the words and/or phrases utilized by a poster are indistinguishable from, for example, hate speech or a white supremacist.

    Once again, we’re all guests. It has nothing to do with free speech or First Amendment. Yeah, there is discrimination against foreign influence and inappropriate language.

    But again, we are guests in someone’s house and must adjust to their rules or be shown the door:

    Although I’m fairly impressed by lengths “conservatives” will go to twist facts to fit their victimization narrative. Practice makes perfect I suppose though a heavy dose of narcissism is required to adopt the POV.

    Should those "liberals" that cavort rent-free in the minds of those who obsess over their occupants be considered "guests" when they are installed there by ideological media entertainers?

    Whenever I check in on neo-nazi and white supremacist websites - the folks who hail Trump as their "Emperor God!" and "Glorious Leader!" - I do feel like a "guest" there, but I suspect that the majority of Americans who consistently disapprove of Trump would consider themselves interlopers in such Trumpy environs.

    Just to be clear, you think that a centrist/independent, if able to appreciate the good points of both sides, is necessarily RW? You're unable to conceive of what an independent or centrist actually is (able to see the good and the bad in both sides)? Well .. that's not ideologue-y at all :/

    Meantime, I see you also subscribe to the idea that people 'pretend not to be conservative'. Hate to break it to ya fella, but 50% of your fellow humans are proud of their conservatism. In fact many probably think we should be embarrassed to be Lefties ... and given the state of things in 2019, they're probably right.

    That's the point. "Proud" to accept ignorance is the definition of bigotry. Nothing to be proud of in my opinion. It's like asking the least qualified to step in for the professor.

    They say the same about you.

    It's cute that you think because they're your thoughts they're morally superior, though :)

    Then don't complain that social media/ corporations ban Republicans. Ultimately society steps in and on Republicans. Ouch! Now claim to be victim of being immoral/ stupid. :roll:

    I'm not sure I've said much about it at all here, actually. But you keep seeing the phantoms you need to see, if it makes you more comfortable with the dissonance-inducing reality of Lefties who are a) waaaay further left than you, and b) ain't Progressives.

    Lordy me, why would someone have more 'credibility' by being a Progressive in 2019? Gosh that's funny :D

    Wildly inflated? Even funnier. Were you asleep at the wheel during the 2016 American election, the recent European elections, and the even more recent Australian election? The tide has turned dear, keep up.

    I do not owe Liberals an explanation.

    But I will not play a Conservative as Conservatives would not accept my position on Welfare, Gun Control, Taxes.

    On The Political Forum a Conservative wished me something I would not repeat for supporting Welfare and help to poor people. Most Conservatives would not accept anyone who opposes the Second Amendment which has cost USA 572,000 lives in 1999-2016.

    Both sides have enormous flaws. But in Western World of 2019, Leftists have much more power. Thousands of people are fired and blacklisted for slightest disagreement with Leftists.

    About 25% of Americans are Strong Conservative, 25% are Strong Liberal and 50% are Independent leaning one way or the other. Sadly The Left would take away Free Speech from the 25% who are Strong Conservative.
