      So, your words have enough meaning that you feel the need to argue online with random strangers. Even when the original comment was a joke, you think your words are so strong that you have to come online and spend hours defending and rallying your side even more.

      But now suddenly you don’t think what you type is strong enough to persuade people? You don’t think the thoughts you’ve put into other people’s heads either from what you wrote or upvoted made a difference at all in the general election?

      If your words mean nothing and aren’t powerful, then why do you keep responding?

      Please tell me what’s so terrible it scared yall so much to delete it?

        Yes, fascists invented removing people’s comments from message boards, good insight. Definitely a very reasonable thing to say

                Literally if she made a comment she would get killed.

                Wow, you’re right, that does sound the same as having one of your comments removed on social media. You’re just like Anne Frank.

                  Yup. Cause it definitely started with the killings.

                  For someone who’s so quick to call everyone else on this site a facist, your quick to brush it under the rug when it benifits you.

                    Good point, it’s like the famous poem:

                    “First they removed some comments on social media, and I didn’t speak out…”
