There are a lot of posts on the bird from new or potential new CoSo users saying that we're a left-wing social network.
I think that perception may come from the fact that a lot of new members seem to be of that political leaning, and feature it in their profiles. (See linked post below for my thoughts on this.)
Just to be clear: ALL are welcome here, so long as you are not trolling or supporting the overthrow of democracy. We can't be a place for just one group.
I honestly wish I could find a few moderate conservatives here.
I'm a Liberal.. but, I often agree with some of them, for example Tom Nichols, Rick Wilson.. etc.
also, another example.. I shoot guns, I am a Precision Rifle Shooter/ Long Distance Shooter, and it would be nice to find others with the same interest.
I have met a few here, but it's just a handful.

You and @corlin have things to discuss.
That's something I would love to learn someday given the time and money.
For now, I'm a fairly decent trap shooter.
I just started last year, but it seems I'm kinda of a natural at it, and it is so relaxing for me.
It takes a lot of control, and a bit of math, so it became something I enjoy a lot.
It took me about 5 or 6 times at the range, before I went for my 500 yard shot, and yes.. I hit my target, with a 17 mph cross wind. 😎
My goal is 2,000 yards.
I shoot a Ruger No 1, 22-250 Single Shot Lever Action.
I also just got a Ruger No 1 6.5x55 Swede
Calling men out on their bullshit is just a beginning. Becoming a mentor, and the "cool" uncle to young men is better.
When I go to the range, and all these young guys are doing the "gun porn" thing. I simply and quietly, lay down prone, and hit a beer bottle at 1,500 meters. That gets their attention, and shuts them up.
Then I talk about the responsibility of being a grown man.
@Jene_Sais_Quoi @corlin @voltronic Guys ,guys, guys! i can shoot a slingshot! 😁
@AkomoCombine @corlin @voltronic
That is better than me. 😂
@Jene_Sais_Quoi @corlin @voltronic 😂 i mean it worked for David so yeah!
@AkomoCombine @corlin @voltronic
Good point! 🤔
I'm mystified by those things, I'd most likely hurt myself. 😂
@AkomoCombine @corlin @voltronic
Exactly like that. 🤣
@corlin @voltronic
1,500 meters.. DAMNNNNN!!!!
SWOON! 😍
Ohhh yes, I hear a lot of shit talk at the shops and range, and where I shoot in Arizona is DEEP Red Trump country.
I always end up winning them over, with respect. ♥️
