Can't be having your biased views questioned now, can we? The Great Lord Echo Chamber is All Powerful!
I didn't see this before I wrote my previous post about echo chamber replies.How sadly but utterly predictable.

Not sure why 'supporting a view' has now become daubed with the 'echo chamber' pejorative. The suggestion that people who agree with a view somehow aren't capable of independent thought is ludicrous. The odd thing is that those who use this term as an insult never see how it must also apply to them.
There is a difference between supporting a view, and shouting down anyone who does not conform to the majority view, suggesting that by failing to do so they are advocating, amongst other things, lying, bullying, hypocrisy and even sexual abuse.It is an echo chamber because that is what this thread is. Unless you are prepared to criticise everything Trump does, you are branded as being as bad as Trump himself. If you cannot see that it what happens, you are blind to it, either through conscious or unconscious bias.
It's ironic, simply because this group bullying is exactly the kind of behaviour the group complains Trump is guilty of.

Again BS. You marked your card here when you exaggerated the Democrats' stupid election cock*p and downplayed Trump's abuses of power. Just to remind you, you said you'd rather have the latter than the former. It is an echo chamber because that is what this thread is.

It's not bullying to point out people talking rubbish. When JB says there are three people here dominating the thread, it was a lie. An easily provable lie - his response to being called on it was "get a life!" You (plural) are not being 'shouted down' - you are being asked to back-up what you say. (And JB's posting record shows, if anything, that he's the shouter - he's up to 27% of the thread's posts now.)

And that is most definitely BS. I've previously said on this thread that Trump is right to tackle trade abuse by China, as well as applauding (certain) of his pardons. (I also feel that he is partially right on Europe's attitude to NATO, but there's a far bigger question at the heart of that.)
t like that, you look more ridiculous.Ignore - there's a standard winge that this is a one way hate fest, when actually theres been lots of discussions about the Dems actions, whose the best candidate to go against trump, how the dems don't seem to have a coordinated response etc, but that doesn't fit the narative that some like to use as distraction from trumps actions.
There's nothing stopping anyone from posting about trumps actions, positive, negative and it being discussed. It just seems some only want to winge and distract.
Seems to work well so far.
