in my inbox lately. I have answered most of the lies, too, by doing only a little research. I love to hit "reply all," so that the whole slew of potential ignoramuses sees what I have to say.
But the reactions are what I don't understand. Why is it that only right-wing assholes are allowed to express their opinions? Why is there something wrong with me, ranging from mental illness to PMS, if I speak up?

My best advice is to hit "reply all" next time and tell them the next piece of right wing propaganda that enters your inbox will result in the sender being blocked. Then do it.
If they desperately need to contact you, they can dial a phone or pay for a stamp.

Yep.
It is outstandingly amazing when they get upset by having someone take issue with those email turds. Nobody jumps on crazy Uncle Elbert or Karen Kubicle for sending them, but boy do they complain like babies if someone takes issue with them.

The brainwashed ones who only watch Fox and listen to hate radio don't know how to argue because their 'leaders' don't know how to argue. They just shout over and bully their opponents. It's why Rush always cuts off his liberal callers so that he can spew his nonsense replies without risk of being called out on it.
