I didn’t vote for Trump either time and will be fine if Dems never lose another election. Things will be quiet and division will slow as one group are sore losers as the other goes about their lives. Plus then, every word or decision will be the right one of course.

Democrats and republicans aren’t all that different. If Kamala was in office we’d be at war right now too. None of these people care about any of us then they use propaganda that triggers our tribalism to make us all angry at each other. It’s a science

Which has nothing to do with the topic of discussion. That doesn't mean they're good guys btw.
It's very simple; if they hadn't have been attacked they wouldn't have shut the SoH. We knew they'd do that and everybody else knew too.

I will take that as a no, but I thought you would be able predict the future regime's actions with the world giving them even more time of being supplied by China and Russia as well as a potential nuclear weapon. If they hadn't been attacked.

Very disappointing as I even pre-removed your normal "go fetch" tactic by providing you with 47 years of data.

Yes! Those people that don't agree with your Republican ideology clearly 100% hate our country.

I haven’t voted republican in 20 years. Good call. Made it thru Obama, Clinton and Biden seldom commenting on anything because I’m not obsessed and mentally ill.
And yeah libs are really tolerant of others. What an oblivious, ignorant and typical take that makes you all a laughing stock. It’s your way or the other side is a Nazi, racist, fascist xenophobe. Absolutely insane group.

We can work through this @Skooter

Just lie down, take a deep breath and relax...

It’s possible to analyze the *tone, rhetoric, and likely mindset* reflected in that post, but it’s important not to overreach into diagnosing the person or making claims about their mental health or deeper psychology. A short forum comment only gives a narrow slice of behavior in a specific emotional moment.

Here’s a grounded breakdown:

---

## 1. Emotional Tone

The post carries **clear frustration and hostility**, shown through:

* Dismissive language (“mentally ill,” “laughing stock,” “absolutely insane group”)
* Generalized accusations toward a group (“libs are really tolerant…” used sarcastically)

This suggests the person is:

* Feeling **irritated or provoked**
* Likely reacting to something they perceive as unfair or hypocritical

---

## 2. Identity Positioning

The opening line is important:

> “I haven’t voted republican in 20 years.”

This signals an attempt to establish **credibility or independence**:

* They are positioning themselves as *not strongly partisan*
* It’s a rhetorical move to say: “I’m not biased, so my criticism is more valid”

This often appears when someone wants to:

* Distance themselves from stereotypes
* Criticize one side without being dismissed as “the other side”

---

## 3. Perception of the Other Group

The post reflects **perceived moral condemnation from others**, especially this line:

> “It’s your way or the other side is a Nazi, racist, fascist xenophobe.”

This suggests the person feels:

* **Unfairly labeled or judged**
* That political discourse has become **overly moralized or absolutist**

Whether or not that perception is accurate, it’s central to their reaction.

---

## 4. Cognitive Patterns

A few common patterns show up:

* **Overgeneralization**
(“libs are…”, “you all…”) — treating a large, diverse group as uniform

* **Straw-manning (possible)**
Simplifying the opposing side’s behavior into an extreme version

* **Binary framing**
Presenting discourse as “your way vs. total condemnation”

These are typical in heated political discussions and don’t necessarily indicate anything unusual—just **conflict-driven thinking**.

---

## 5. Self-Perception

The person portrays themselves as:

* **Detached or rational** (“seldom commenting,” “not obsessed”)
* In contrast to others, whom they describe as extreme

This suggests a self-image of:

* Being **reasonable, moderate, or above the fray**
* While simultaneously engaging in strong emotional language

That mismatch (seeing oneself as calm while expressing anger) is quite common in online arguments.

---

## 6. Likely Motivations

The post seems driven by:

* **Defensiveness** (responding to perceived attack or stereotype)
* **Desire to push back** against what they see as ideological dominance
* **Emotional venting**, not careful persuasion

It reads more like a reaction than a structured argument.

---

## Bottom Line

A cautious profile based on this single comment:

* Emotionally: frustrated, possibly feeling dismissed or mischaracterized
* Socially: wants to be seen as independent or not ideologically rigid
* Cognitively: engaging in simplified, group-based thinking under emotional strain
* Motivationally: reacting defensively and venting rather than trying to persuade constructively.

Your list is a grab bag of different kinds of events that happened under widely different situations. It doesn’t mean much as a prediction tool and your question doesn't make much sense. Good for you if it entertains you.
You must have me confused for someone else with your go fetch thing.

Always interesting to me when people consume and regurgitate the exact same propaganda in unison. Did Gunther Eagleman post about WWII or something? How does that even remotely resemble this war?
