We Don't Forget

So back in October, a fur on here posted a Journal entry called Hillary Clinton paid people to incite violence at rallies. I wont, at this time, name that fur. The journal contained a link to a video that purportedly claimed what was stated in the subject line. The video was from Project Veritas Action. I did some checking and pointed out to this fur that PVA was a project of James O'Keefe, who had zero journalistic credibility after it was proven his ACORN videos were fake. This fur still claimed Democrats were evil and Republicans were good. He claimed his views were the only logical ones based on fact. After attempting to discuss the issue with him he stated that while he knew Trump had a horrible track record as a person, all he cared about was the idea Trump wouldn't take away his guns. He was certain that a Clinton victory would mean erasure of the 2nd Amendment.
Ah, makes sense. This fur was an NRA cultist who only cared about his assault rifles.
Now, recently I came across this article proving O'Keefe was a liar whose video was 100% fraudulent. I was going to bring this up in the Journal thread, along with this article about a local conservative who kept screeching that gun regulations were evil, who was killed in a beautifully ironic way when he was stupid, careless and sloppy with a loaded weapon. And to my surprise, the original Journal was deleted. No commentary, no acknowledgement he was duped and tried passing along lies like a bad headcold.
Again, not a surprise. I post this journal for multiple reasons. First, I don't want what this fur did to be forgotten. Conservatives love trying to rewrite their pasts and their sins and lies, but the rest of us remember and won't let it be forgotten.
Second, so you know why I might look with disdain upon you if you have an NRA icon on your FA page, Twitter, or otherwise indicate you are a member of that cult. Because it's saying you have no problem being a member of an organization with a long history of lies and manipulation and are incapable of thinking for yourself. And that you condone mass murder. Also massive amounts of selfishness. I have yet to meet someone who proudly claims membership in that organization who was willing to put his little boy fantasies secondary to the safety and security of other people.
Thirdly, so you know why I might look with disdain upon you if you say you voted for TerroristTrump, are Conservative, or otherwise support the GOP. Because it's saying you have no problem with people who routinely lie, refuse to accept responsibility for the problems they cause, and will regularly screw over other people to serve their selfish interests. I have yet to find anyone who claimed to be a Conservative who was able to think rationally, accept alternate viewpoints, or think of others. And this includes former coworkers and family.
Now, I still Watch this fur, because I don't throw away friendships based on disagreeing with their views. But in the past, when I have challenged someone who lets the NRA do their thinking for them, they end up unfollowing me from everything. Like Bluepawz who, despite everything I did for him at Anthrocon 2015, valued me less than his paranoia about Democrats revoking access to guns.
