Now to be fair, have minorities even really tried not to be victims? From what doctors say, if it’s legitimate bigotry, the minority body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. Link for the uninitiated
My god yes. Liberals have this borderline conspiracy theory that the right has some master plan to enact fascism, kill their “enemies”. Ahhh!
No. They don’t. They simply going with what works to get votes. That’s all that ever has, or ever will, count. Why else this GOP war on voters? They’re not looking to take over the country in some masterful coup. They’re just trying to hang in, by hook or by crook, because they so goddamned always lose, and their future looks bleaker by the second.
But the left HAS to believe that there’s some sort of plan, someone calling the shots. Same reason the COVID nuts arose. They can’t face the horror that this is random, organic, unplanned history. “Someone must be controlling all this!”
They’re not drilling down trans -> gay -> black -> all-liberals on purpose. That’s simply the natural outcome. Go for the smallest, therefore weakest, demographic. Score some wins? Go after the next demographic. Fascism is where it ends, but they’re not planning it, it’s just the natural outcome of hate and desperation. (I’d argue fascism is already here.)
Imagine a pride of lions with a limited pool of prey. They start with the weak, sick, elderly. Once those targets are gone, move up to the next weakest. Not like the lions have some PLAN, they’re merely doing what they have to do to survive.
Let’s see who we all think is saying this: “My opponent is weak and stupid, but also powerful and wily!”
Look, the left is nowhere near as shameless in their hypocrisy as the right. Especially not the politicians. But the voters? They’re singing the same tune about the opposition.
“Desantis is an idiot, running his own state into the ground! Can’t govern a potato factory!”
“Desantis is far smarter than Trump, a truly dangerous man! Hitler 2.0!”
Someone will come along to explain how he’s BOTH at once, but I think everyone gets my drift. The default take should be, “Dangerous as hell because they’re in a corner trying to survive and, like a lion, they have no morals.”
Sorry /u/[email protected], didn’t mean to unload on your post. Needed it off my chest. It’s just all so frustrating when it’s all so obvious.
And BTW, y’all are as distracted by the GOPs culture war as their voters are. Nothing matters, NOTHING, when they’re actively taking our votes away. We slam-dunk win ALL of these battles if we’re allowed to vote.
Yep. Pretty much. There is a clearly define deference between the politician’s agenda, and the voter’s agenda. And that difference is belief. The politician doesn’t believe the bullshit. They’re selling it for votes.
The voter DOES believe the bullshit. Any they’re clearly buying it for the promise of safety.
The military not flying the pride flag isn’t an attack.
The government should fly the american flag, and maybe their state flags. They shouldn’t be waving some government endorsed religious symbols. If the pride flag can be waved, what’s to stop MAGA flags from being waved at the white house and in military bases?
I mean not really. We just don’t care for public services and funding that is supposed to teach our kids math, instead teach them how to socially transition.
If you want to transition back and forth 100 times, we’re fine with that. Don’t take our money and teach our kids how to transition then act like you’re ‘being attacked’
Anyone that is removing the rights of marginalized people. As a reminder you folks in the states only have conservative political parties so both of them can and do trample on rights all the time. There is no “left or right” in the States.
Lots of people have been saying that this would happen.
They want to attack trans folks so they can attack the gay folks so they can attack the coloured folks…

Given that they think gay and trans people could just, you know, choose to not be, I’m surprised none of them have said that before.
“If you don’t like being discriminated against for being non-white, just choose to be white!”

It’s all about getting votes from their ignorant base. I guarantee you they don’t care about any of those things.

I’m mainly with ya, but the pride flag is religious? Did you mean to say that?
When your religion is just bigotry wearing pious makeup, anything tolerant is perceived as an attack on that religion.
I mean not really. We just don’t care for public services and funding that is supposed to teach our kids math, instead teach them how to socially transition.
If you want to transition back and forth 100 times, we’re fine with that. Don’t take our money and teach our kids how to transition then act like you’re ‘being attacked’
If you want your kids to remain uneducated, pull them out of school and teach them everything you know.
Don’t mandate bigotry just because your church demands it.
It essentially seems like the LGBTQIA2S+ has turned to a religion. So yeah, the flag is equivalent to a religious symbol.
Well, they seem to have figured out kindness to others better than Christianity has in 2000 years or so.
The started by attacking trans folks, then they’ll attack the gays, then they’ll be back to attacking BIPOC. That’s how these turds roll…
who is ‘they’ and how are they attacking trans folks?
