If Facebook reinstates Trump


I will consider it my duty as an American to delete my account.

Anyone else?

3. Yep

I'm out of there if they don't do the right thing. Can't think of a better reason.

4. Nope

FB keeps me in touch with far flung family and friends. I give a flying f... who else uses it.

12. If they do open the account?

It should not be closed to any opinions. It should open to all Americans. It will serve no purpose if it only a strategy and sounding board for the conspiracists that are afoot.

He's still banned, but FB will look at it again in six months, because the ban shouldn't be left undefined.

FB is kicking the can down the road, they know it's mostly made up of old farts like me, many of whom are conservatives and trump supporters, who may dump the platform if a permaban is enacted, but they want the kiddies to get on board to keep the platform relevant, and reinstating Trump will lead to much doodoo posting and complaining on competing sites from the young and dumb.  Six months is far outside most moonbats memory span, so the board figures they are safe for a while, is my guess.

the DUmmies like to play up how much diversity is our strength up until there is diversity in thoughts that they don't like

that reminds me of the time that the DUmmies were pushing for a national strike for something GWB was doing and a DUmmy named ProudDad said if the strike was going to materialize he would be almost tempted to get a job so he could join the strikers. 

I used to have the link to that thread but lost it a few years back when I upgraded my computer but it was a classic.

While it's been mentioned frequently here on conservativecave, I'm not aware we ever had an entire thread dedicated to it.  Sorry.

Ask and ye shall receive. Here's the DU-thread, https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4763020 . The relevant ProudDad post is #64, about half way down a rather long page. :-)
