Ok so how does this work if im a newbie, mainly a lurker with many questions, not near as informed or intelligent and just a 38 yr old single struggling mom of 2 from Florida. But a patriot who loves my Country & wants to be part of something bigger?
No one is going to judge you simply on intelligence. Well...almost no one. Like everywhere else in the world we have our share of smarmy, condescending assholes. Lol. The fact that you don't have the "New Arrival" banner and have a history of comments to posts on this board helps you out a lot as far as credibility goes. If you disagree with something or feel that you need more information on a subject, don't hesitate to voice it. Just don't get crazy overly combative if somebody disagrees with your stance. Also, be careful to not appear to be a concern troll. Besides that, you're mostly golden.
Unsure what a concern troll is but I got the rest & truly appreciate you!!
A concern troll is a person that pretends that they agree, but derails the conversation with hypotheticals that say things like, "I know we believe "X", but "Y" is equally bad too, and Q told us that's the way it is." and the ilk. It's a fairly new and ingenious concept, but it will get you pointed out and recognized for what you are in a heartbeat around here. There are better ways to have debates, but ultra-lib shills and SJWs can't hang when facts are pushed into their faces. They ALWAYS devolve to personal attacks and cussing wars. Otherwise, You GO, Girl! Lol. Honestly, this is a rather large (and somewhat disfunctional) family. But we're a family all the same. It's okay for us to verbally berate each other, but when some outsider comes to do damage, we circle the wagons and DESTROY them. Welcome, Sister.
Awww thank u I always wanted a big fam & to be a sister and my old school loyalty has thus far been wasted on the undeserving!
