think is witty ridicule. IIRC, they had a whole forum dedicated to posters here.

Did they get tired of laughing at us with so much Trump winning?

what the 'conservative' nametag stood for.

The verb 'to conserve' means to keep the same, nurture, etc.

Seems there must be a better word to describe them? After all not much positive 'conservation' happening in the Repug part of town.

I generally support a progressive agenda with making things better for everyone. Obviously, they desire is to go back in time when they perceived a world that catered to their racial identity. They hate the world they live in and have no interest in supporting real progress for this country.

and it seems that most of the foamers, spitters, and screechers have decamped for Gab, Parler, and (of course) Facebook.

Fine by me. I learned a long time ago that uncivil people living in a fantasy world don't add much to the conversation.

I always wondered if DU had a doppelganger on the insane side of town.

Now I know. Conservative underground. Had a quick look, then got out never to return.

Following his demise, Chevy Chase, host of NBC's Saturday Night's comedic news segment Weekend Update, announced Franco's death, and read a quotation from Richard Nixon: "General Franco was a loyal friend and ally of the United States. He earned worldwide respect for Spain through firmness and fairness."[1] As an ironic counterpoint to this, a picture was displayed behind Chase, showing Franco giving the Roman salute alongside Adolf Hitler.
