Well the negative world view was always there but the 'blaming the Democrats' thing has only surfaced recently. Those old conversations we had are from a couple other boards that you know well. They stopped tolerating it so he's found a home here because there's always a place for disgruntled people who just need to vent. Wether he knows it or not, he's just like me.
There's been more than a few posters here who are in the middle of the road and others who are off the charts. It comes with the territory. I've often asked myself "why would someone with an obvious right hand agenda choose to spout on a center left group chat."
Most of them do it to get their jollies but this one I'm not so sure of. I like to keep him engaged and online for the simple reasons like today when he said "The American dream is dead". I don't know, but to me, that is not how someone should go through life and I've told him that before.
Fear and anger is a volatile cocktail. Talking about it is tons of ways better than acting on it.
