This forum is somewhat political by it's existence. IMO, it stands to reason that more right thinking people would be here due to weapon ownership, land ownership, tax-paying status, etc. Even threads here that touch on farming, education, energy, CRP programs, fertilizer, investments, income, and a host of others can become political. Shouldn't really be too big a deal for most grown ups. I have friends here who disagree with my use of tillage in a farming operation, but we remain civil. If the admins limited the site to only topics about plants, it could still go off the deep end by saying that my commie state makes me control noxious weeds while they can't control their own. I think it was Dan Bongino who said that you can't avoid politics anymore because politics won't avoid you. I think the noteworthy fellas that aren't here any longer either don't like the political back n forth, or changed priorities in life. I wish them all well. To each his own. Woops, I made that last statement political...it was not pronoun friendly.
