(8,361 posts)That was quite a post. I actually like what you're trying to say....but what you are saying doesn't describe this site at all. Some of those most bat shit crazy conspiracy theories are allowed to stand. There is much support from fellow posters when guys like Castro, Chavez, and Morales are lionized.
You may not like it that there are a lot of Democrats who don't disagree with you, but it doesn't mean you're being shut down or the dialogue is moving to the right.
You are experiencing a shift based on the DU being an opposition board for people whose party was out of power vs. now being a boad for people whose party has been in power for years.
Ascribing things to a mass propaganda or other bizarro explanation does you a disservice.
Oh, and nice that you provide caveats around FDR behavior but are unwilling to for current president.
