    Seriously, have you never seen any abuse doled out to liberals here?

    Deport them, lock them up, sign of mental illness, traitors, hate America, not real Americans, enemies of the people, etc. etc. I don't generally take it seriously, but it gets pretty fucking tiresome.

    I see it here, yeah. No, I don't like it at all. But I don't see it anywhere else.

    I hear white-conservative bashing from friends, family, through Facebook even though I'm not even on fucking Facebook, in my office and on LinkedIn. Daily basis.

    I'm on Instagram to learn about a skill, not share breakfast photos. Everyone I follow on there posts updates related and only related to their work. And now even that place is flooded with "Trump supporters hate blacks" horseshit.

    I could go on, but to be honest I'm getting a little tired of it. I've got leaves to rake, and it's clear when people start pointing out my country of birth, and tell me to STFU because I'm not eligible to vote that my opinions aren't actually welcome.

    Meh. I didn't say that and don't think that. Marketplace of ideas, man. Honestly I think hearing from folks outside the American politics echo chamber is about the best thing for us all at the moment.

    I've lived here for nearly 18 years. Lookit, I've probably even picked up a few of the locals wicked habits. Of course, they can take away my life, but they can't take away my accent!

      I still have to pick your brain later about how to be a wanker from London. Not quite sure how to do that properly. I wish there was a Skillshare on it.

      Please love yourself.

            I think you'd be surprised. We're a friendly, religious bunch, with an amazing amount of tolerance for the eccentric. Mind your manners, though. Don't you ever talk about anybody's mama or their dog. And don't spit on anybody's porch.

            Oh, and consider most any person you meet, to be carrying a gun or to at least have one in the car.😊

                          I worked over on Dorchester Ave near Savin Hill for a couple summers. We used to go over to Castle Island in Southie at lunch and sneak a few beers. We figured we were old enough. I marched there on St. Patrick's Day several times. A beautiful place.

                            Back when we were allowed outside we used to have our mid-year celebrations near there - we'd all get on a boat and they'd do circuits while we attempted to purloin free drinks tickets. It is a very nice area.

                              George S. Patton owned one of those.

                              George came from a fine Southern family...

                                They're talking about a Million Maga March on Washington.

                                Sounds like fun...

                                I'm pretty sure the absolute last damn thing America needs right now are pissed off people taking to the streets by the thousands.

                                Yeah, but look at the bright side...When these guys get through, the area may be cleaner than when they started...

                                    At what point do Trump's followers actually stop believing his bullshit?

                                      Seriously, have you never seen any abuse doled out to liberals here?

                                      Deport them, lock them up, sign of mental illness, traitors, hate America, not real Americans, enemies of the people, etc. etc. I don't generally take it seriously, but it gets pretty fucking tiresome.

                                      I could go on, but to be honest I'm getting a little sick of it. I've got leaves to rake, and it's clear when people start pointing out my country of birth, and tell me to STFU because I'm not eligible to vote that my opinions aren't actually welcome.

                                        If they do take to the streets, it will be one of two ways: they will hold a peaceful rally and clean up after theyre done... or they will unleash hell that will make antifa look like a bunch of pikers.

                                          Do you not believe in science?....Besides, medical science has established scientifically that modern liberalism is a mental disorder.
