Republicans and Conservatives like to promote the idea that they are suppressed and discriminated against. I think they got that from their Xtian friends. Most of that is bullshit. Just part of their rhetoric.

Do you see the offensive, hateful things our "President" says, and the cruelty of what he has done to minorities of every flavor? Well, failure to tolerate intolerance is not intolerance.

Look up Paradox of Tolerance.

Censorship is unacceptable. Especially here. Regardless of political affiliation.

Thing is, to be an atheist, or at least an agnostic, one tends to be a critical thinker. We look at the evidence, and weigh up the results. Being thinking science based people, we also tend to be environmentalists, humanists, tolerant or race and sex and pro social justice. Now this would be the antithesis of a Trump supporter......just sayin.

Please give an example of a deleted post. If it incites violence/threatens someone, it should be removed. If not, ideas should be welcome!

Believe me, nobody hates Trump as much as I do. Believe me. Believe me. Even so, if someone wants to express their support or even their admiration for this human dog turd they should be allowed to do so. If pro-Trump views are being censored then that is not goodly and I do not support this activity.

I don't need a safe space that protects me from views that contradict my own.

Members should be able to express their opinions but what you call "hate speak" about Trump may not be so. I would not go across the street to see or hear this POTUS who so far has topped 6000 plus lies in 2 years. How do I know? I fact check. You can too if you care enough. Everything is out there and recorded. You may choose to believe the "real truth and real news" was never around until Trump arrived in politics. This makes me wonder where the "wonder man" gets his facts. He tweets me to death and I just wish he would shut the fuck up! His defenders claim his tweets are fine and this technology was not around with previous presidents. This makes me laugh a little. It seems now that Trump and his swamp want to sue the media to get "fairness" of their views out there. This disturbs me because one such conservative supporter has attacked me on another site where I use this same name as "not being a citizen." The man is college educated and he says this while I was born here. Is this the type of "fairness" that you want to start seeing? I hope not.

As far as administrators of this site or any other site I think they can do as they want to when it is their site. Possibly they do not want a situation where they have to give "equal time" to views not supported by facts. If anything at all makes this premise change then you no longer live in the America that I know. I happen to not support every "letter to the editor" needing to be printed. Media should be able to pick and choose.

Most pro Trump posts tend to come from trolls, be hateful and denigrating, like their idol. No surprise there. Any Atheist who supports Trump and his Christian Crusade kind of has self hatred issues to start with. Kind of like gays for Trump, who apparently want all the progress they have made toward equal treatment under the law to be reversed. You can be either of those things and be fiscal conservatives, but not what we have in the Oval Office now, a degenerate regressive who wants to take the country back to the era of Robber Barons.

Trump sucks. Even the most deluded should be able to see that. It’s no surprise that he’s popular with the religious folk. The delude themselves regularly.

I like how you began with "I am a very tolerant person" for your appeal for more posts featuring a man who is famous for his intolerance.

I am so sorry we cannot see this positive Trump post that espouses the ideals of our country from which we should all benefit: all genders, all races, rich and poor. People, not businesses. Because I do not think it exists. I have found Trump supporters/ most conservatives on this site spew the same racism, sexism, and classism so often intertwined with religion, and it sickens me. I trust the admin here. If the post is gone, there was probably a good reason.

I saw one guy, very pro Trump, very confrontational, who had "former Middle East population control expert" in his bio. Openly espousing genocide should never be tolerated in the name of "fairness."

While I agree with you about openness, I think one would need to be careful when supporting someone who talks about grabbing women "by the pussy". I believe in fairness but I don't think you have to take it to the point of supporting misogyny, racism or homophobia.

i cannot judge because i have not seen the posts, but i have seen posts by pro-trump people, and they DO get pretty vile. they call liberals libtards and worse. i have never seen a reasonable pro-trump post. all the ones i have seen are full of profanity (which doesn't in and of itself bother me, but it does when aimed at another member) and racist garbage. now, if the posts that were removed were not like that, that's one thing, but my experience is that the likelihood of their NOT being like that is slim. since you have not said what the posts said, i can only go by my own experience.

I notice no specifics are given. My own, personal experience with pro-Trump people is they almost alway watch (only) Fox ‘news’ - something backed up by media analytics data, and is totally unlike all other voting groups, all of which get info from a wide variety of more legitimate news sources - and are so factually MIS-informed on just about everything (truly) that anyone posting genuine facts, data, evidence, science or data- or evidence-based facts - they automatically take as ‘partisan’ or ‘hate’, when in fact the people are just stating facts. Absent any actual data here to back up what’s being said, I tend to assume the same is most likely happening here.

There is censorship by admin and thats not good on a site thats supposed to be made up mainly of free thinkers
