Conservatives Plan to Ban Abortion MORE and Cut LGBT Rights MORE Starting Next January
Fixed that for you, newrepublic. D'ya see how you missed that? Almost, like, intentionally? Isn't that weird? That you would sort of paper over the hate like that? Like, "oh in the future the republiQans will surely be wack, yo" wtf.
Of course they exist, Bruce Jenner is always trying to maintain his relevance politically, there's definitely quite a few other "celebrity" types who are also outspoken gay Republicans, sorry just jot sure why you added that caveat.
Those Republicans that you know are quite naive about the threat coming for them, and it's not like the Christian right hasn't been systematically taking over the Republican party for decades, my go to for this topic is Barry Goldwater's famous quote:
Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.
As well as this quote:
I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are?
Loved your comment overall, but please don't deadname trans people. Caitlin Jenner is worthy of all your contempt (and more) but openly deadnaming trans people like this emboldens other right wing hypocrites to openly express their own immature hatred of difference against trans people -- and it also makes those of us who are NOT Caitlin Jenner, but do count trans people as our equals in every respect, rather uncomfortable when we see it as the disrespect it is toward the rest of the trans community.
There are many wonderful LGBTQIA+ people in this world. Please narrow the scope of your contempt toward Caitlin Jenner to disinclude them. Thanks for your understanding.
Especially when it comes to women, My god the level of vitriol they have towards smart, independent women who want to control their own destiny and not be a house slave to some man 30+ years their senior utterly astonishing, especially since show it so openly and publicly.
But conservatives have long since abandoned the coded language and quiet talk, so i guess the openness shouldnt shock me anymore.. yet it still does.
Lets double down on our highly unpopular opinions - hey you middle of the road conservatives how are you going to justify voting republican to your LGBTQ friends and family this time?
They don't need to, that's what propaganda is for! They even get LGBTQ people confused/angry enough to vote against their own best interests!
Source: Gay cousin voting for Trump because he's mad about Palestine.... (This was before the recent genocide) literally nothing to do with him, happening on the other side of the world, but yeah be mad about that and let wolves into the coup... You're not a tasty chicken to them if you vote for them... That's how that works right?
Because Trump did this -- out of the blue and without discernable reason or cause -- MANY people, mostly Palestinians, were unnecessarily injured and died in the demonstrations and open violence that followed. People demonstrated around the world to protest this, both before and after the fact: Trump was literally kicking peace accords at the foundation just to watch them crumble, and protests didn't matter any more than history or peace did to him. He did it anyway, and no one was able to stop him despite the absolute insanity it was to begin with.
If your cousin gives two shits about Palestine at all, and this pro-Trump position isn't just performative spite on his part, tell him to read up on this issue. Trump is squarely on the side of "Christian" conservatives trying to force the second coming of Christ, it's all wrapped up in their bizarre pseudo-Christian mythology, and in the end a vote for Trump is a vote for NO PEACE, ever, anywhere that Netanyahu wants to stretch his own feet.
They'll have to win the presidency, both houses of Congress and end the filibuster if they want to implement any of these plans. I guess it's possible but unlikely. They could have done that in the first two years of Trump's presidency if it really mattered to them. But all they really want is corporate tax cuts.
It's important to keep news about these plans circulating though. Having a large anti-Trump turnout is the one thing that ensures they never get a chance to implement their agenda.
Yes. Because then they can turn the army’s guns on the blue states with impunity. I’m pretty sure it’s why they float the idea among their base; so we hear it too, and it stays in our minds.
Conservatives love to hate everything and everyone. They love to make life miserable as much as possible, especially when it has no impact on their normal day to day life.
To be clear they love to make your life worse to enrich those and have convinced a massive voter base that their lives are getting worse because of you and not them.
If they owned a glass factory they would be hiring thugs to go around town breaking windows.
I'm bi. I'm pretty sure I'm bi. Hold on let me ask my wife... Hold on I need to get this dick out of...I'll just text her. She said yes.
Anyway 😉, are they going to come for us too? How about swingers? What about the naked people who burn art every year out I. The desert in one big "city" bs they just want to be naked and watch others be naked...are they coming for those folks too?
The uncomfortable answer here is that they’ll likely try to force y’all into exclusively hetero relationships through overwhelming force on those of us who are unwilling to do that. And yeah they’ll definitely come for swingers and such but it’ll be like enforcement of marijuana laws under bush.
I mean, if it works, we'll just ignore their rules. States that have enshrined abortion access into their constitution aren't going to just lay down and take it.
We will raise hell over this stuff if it actually happens.
