Thanks, you are right. I guess there was just nothing else that I found interesting to comment on, but yes, LIT is right too, there is no point on posting such discussions. Plus I do not believe any of these candidates are flawless, nor do I really care. Sorry if my post offended anybody.

I don't know why this thread was closed. For those who were interested in it, it is now reopened.
Just please be respectful of other people's opinions and don't post anything that will get us sued.

I asked for it to be closed.When I watched the last debate I was so triggered I became physically ill and had so much anxiety my entire body started shaking.I just wanted to make sure I didn't come here and post while in that state and cause any problems.
Sorry.
I simply can't even talk about Trump anymore for my own mental health.I am sure that with everything going on it's not even necessary for me to explain why.But I suppose I can just avoid this thread,it probably wasn't right,or fair of me to ask for it to be closed.

Hi Lit - sorry it was me hassling Steve and David as to why it had been closed - now I read your reasons I regret it and I understand. I'm happy for it to be closed if everyone else is. And sorry for causing it to get bumped!!

We rarely close threads here permanently although sometimes we do it as a temporary measure to let people cool off.
Ultimately, we've found it's pretty difficult to predict what might trigger someone, almost impossible sometimes. I think we have to assume that most people know their own triggers and will take the necessary steps to avoid them or otherwise manage them.

No apology is needed Harebells,but thank you.
Feel free to leave it open and post whatever you like,nobody else is responsible for my PTSD,my triggers and how I react to them,only I am.
This is just one of those times where I have to say okay,that's enough,and back away,but it doesn't mean everyone else has to also.

Oh,I see Dr.Baxter posted while I was typing and pretty much said the same as I did about triggers.

There are some threads I don't read at all because the topics don't interest me. I have little interest in most debates about politics or religion, for example. I just don't follow those threads. If I post in them, I generally unsubscribe soon after.

In any dictatorship regimen one is not allowed to express an opinion different from the mainstream.
If you support anything in a direction different from the left, you are labeled as racist, bigot, rapist, and all other kinds of -ists. This is what is happening on the media and social media now. I am used to it, as I have lived in communist country when young, so nothing new to me.

By the way, I was triggered by Hanity's interview of the woman, who was raped at 12 and her rapist was represented by Hillary. I found this the hallmark of the worst in this campaign.

The facts are Clinton didn't want the case but was appointed against her wishes by the court to defend the man. Contrary to reports by her detractors, she did not "get the man off" or "laugh at the victim". She simply did her job as a public defender and moved on.

But to me it seems that having people disagree with your opinion is not the same as not being allowed to have it.

Exactly.

My biggest concern is not Donald Trump winning the election but setting a trend for future elections.
