I saw only the pictures that were presented comparing this Lydon guy (I've no clue he is) with Alice. I don't discuss politics with anyone but have no problems accepting others differing thoughts and opinions.In an effort to stay on topic here, I want to say that your attitude about someone who disagrees with you politically is quite Alice-like. She was very dumb to insult half of her and Ioan's potential fan-base. You are not in the same situation, and you are entitled to your opinion. I just want to point out that your comments may be insulting to some of your fellow Tattlers.
I have been reading these threads for many months and have seen plenty of Trump bashing comments. I just want to mention that there are plenty of us who have a lot to say about the current administration, but choose to keep it to ourselves. I'm pretty sick of Trump supporters being treated like the classless group.
I'm sorry that you feel that you've been treated as part of a 'classless group". I don't feel insulted although I can acknowledge that some might feel the same as you.
This isn't a political forum - if it was, I could also state a lot of negative things about him and the other party. I chose not to; instead, I chose to ignore parts of some comments. Neither political parties have been able to produce competent leaders, IMO.
Maybe I'm just at the age where other things are more important to me than someone making bashing comments. Maybe I've just mentally bashed many leaders of this country so that it just 'rolls off my back' so to speak. And I do vote.
ETA: Rather than feeling like part of a 'classless group' I feel like I have been accepted into a very warm group of caring, sensitive individuals - and I am much thankful for that.
