I haven't seen it personally, maybe I just run in different circles but I've asked to be directed to an example on 3 occasions now and never once has one been provided.

Not saying it isn't happening, would just like some proof that it's not just a band wagon

Yup, if I have to hear my uncle tell me another nutjob conspiracy theory about how Trudeau is promoting LGBTQ politics to mask the vaccinations making us gay, I'm going to lose it.

Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I've got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defended Russia or China politically.

Not trying to be divisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic

Sorry I should have been specific. I wasn't speaking about trickle down economics, I was speaking about the economic policies in general that tax the poor while leaving the rich mostly unaffected and while purposely building in loopholes.

This may not have been strengthened as much during times when Dems were in power but in the past it certainly hasn't been weakened, My argument is that Joe Biden has actually made moves to try.

My father was an avid enterprise fan and that song was his alarm for years, he woke up at 7 and subsequently woke me, I have severe PTSD when I hear it

I can only speak for myself but I wouldn't really mind it the other way around as long as there's no implied use of force or manipulation.

IMO either party doing this is fine as long as it's discussed and within the comfort bounds of the people in the relationship.

I think the problem is an expectation when there has been no discussion about whether or not it's within someone's limits.
