The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You guys are kind of funny --- if it were funny indeed.

The left ones here claim the right ones are stirring up this and that, with complaints about drag queens, being intolerant etc. etc.

Just one question from an outsider (coming to those posts over the "Best of" feature with many rec's for them): What's the purpose of the very first post in this thread, initiating it, by saying this:

... targeting trans people is a way to stir up the base,
stoking the fear and hatred that the GOP is dependent on. (Build that wall! Ban those Muslims! Don't say gay!)

Wishing all you homophobes a super uncomfortable month...


Isn't that purpose to stir up your own base, to create angry reactions by the "enemy", in other words: To do what it claims to complain about: To stir up?
