PapaSkwat exists on half a dozen different instances. A good number of them post in news and political comms in addition to a bunch of plain things meant to water down their feed. They mod a bunch of those comms and feature/unfeature posts to manipulate the modlog. Not to mention they're doing this with about a dozen accounts. The loser even admitted it in a DM.

My family has a cabin. We've literally built it all by hand except for the cement foundation. It's legit, signed off as meets code and everything. I brought a pride flag up knowing it might ruffle my grandparents feathers but I planned to talk to them respectfully. Before my grandparents ever saw it, my parents and uncle sat me down and said "we're not going to allow that" and even going as far as saying "if you leave the flag here, we're going to destroy it." I didn't fight them. I left. And despite my blood, sweat, and tears going into that cabin, I'm never going back.

I told them it wasn't as simple as a difference of opinion, it was a difference in morality. They agreed.

I like the "tolerance is a social contract" approach to a tolerant society. My wife and I are thinking of growing our family. We both don't want to subject a future child of ours to my family's beliefs so we're effectively estranged and I think my parents are slowly finding out we mean business and it's not just "their kid throwing a fit." Call me snowflake all you want, my child won't hear it.

Vivek Ramaswamy suspends presidential campaign

"A vote for Vivek is a vote for the 'other side,'" Trump said. So Vivek rolls over and supports Trump?

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but Vivek feels like a plant. He was supposed to fail. I think several candidates are being used to funnel different types of Republicans "back home" to Trump by building a following and then dropping out after Trump says something he thinks is destroying. He's setting up a house of cards to blow it over.
