There's like 12 people posting over there anymore, and we're giving them a MUCH bigger platform than they merit posting about them here.

They're not even the only site where crazy-ass precious snowflakes and Trumpkins cohabitate.

They're all in on Trump.

They're hoping and praying that he beats Hillary in November.

Unfortunately for them, it isn't going to happen.

That they are a group of right-wing trolls convinced they split the "libtards."

Lots of 'em in love with Anti-vaxxer Stein as well.

They have pretty much outed themselves over there for what they really are. I expect most of the ones who are still sane will come back to DU and forget that place even exists. Manny and his minions can keep it for themselves.

Although after reading DU for years I am not surprised by the attitude and not suprised some were really gop trolls masquerading around as progressives.

I understand those brokenhearted over Sanders loss but if they are defending trump they were not really Sanders supporters.

A few said they would vote for Hillary, but they were quickly swarmed and attacked.

and our positive attitude far exceed anything that wafted out of the GOP Open Sewer.
Anyone that says both parties are the same is a f'ing moron.

The horseshoe theory at work. At the very fringes, both sides are authoritarian.
