I mean, the only thing left is to decide which half of the conservative dichotomy you fall under. It’s pretty obvious. Well, you could also be a bot.

It only counts if it’s non cishet. I took Flowers in the Attic out of my high school, so Genderqueer should be accessible for high schoolers. You’re so fucking disingenuous.

If anyone doesn’t understand the intent, ask any of us who are stuck in families that are 90%+ Republican. I went to dinner with these people every week for years, went on camping trips for a week at a time. They still drop the “N” word any time they think they’re in safe company. They complain about Mexicans stealing their jobs. They wanted my then boyfriend of 2 years and I to sleep in different rooms during a family reunion so the children wouldn’t get confused. Still think gay people shouldn’t get married, definitely shouldn’t adopt, and probably should have the state take any kids from previous relationships for their protection. I know the intent. Despite your protests, you almost definitely do, too. They’re shitty, awful people, and Jesus hates them. But, yeah, let’s pretend after decades of them telling us exactly what they think that it’s just all inscrutable.

Like, the difference between Israel and SK or Taiwan is that the latter two aren’t indiscriminately killing North Koreans or mainland Chinese people. I think they can grasp the nuance. The larger problem is we can satisfy the treaty with boots on the ground instead of weapons. The US has fewer options than most of my single-issue Palestine voter friends think.

“Hey guys, we can embargo Israel and stop giving them weapons, but it will mean US troop presence in the Middle East not seen since Reagan retreated.” That’s not a message that will go over well. But unless you want to replace “Palestinian genocide” with “Israeli genocide”, it’s what needs to happen.

and the self aware wolf enters the chat.

Like, more than that, Trump has always been hostile to American Muslims, and is fond of talking about kicking out all refugees. The thought that Trump could in any way not be worse on basically every issue requires massive doses of hallucigenics. But the damage he would either overtly inflict, or ignore while the brown shirts move in would be horrific. Meanwhile, the, “Cut all military aid,” crowd don’t realize that means a massive increase in US deployments to the are to defend Israel’s territory once we remove their self-defense capability. About all anyone can really do is hope Netanyahu is removed from office some way.

Grindr banned in the Olympic Village in Paris (2024)

Crime is down in all categories. Turn off Fox and other right wing propaganda (excuse me, “entertainment”) sites. They’re lying to you to make you think things that will radicalize you toward the right. -
I call it being bad at math. Sometimes, maybe, it’s being easily manipulated. Voting for a third party only makes it easier for the main party further from one’s own ideology to win. Therefore, it’s only a good strategy for right wingers who want to vote for libertarians or constitutional conservative minor parties.

Are you actually a white straight Russian troll? Because that’s exactly what a white straight Russian troll on Xitter would say.

There are always two options with Trump voters. The stupid ones, there’s nothing to forgive, and you hope they’re pretty, at least. The evil ones can fuck themselves. They have enough brain power and choose to starve children and lock babies in cages and destroy the economy to satisfy their hate. Fuck. Them. Fortunately, with my family, I’ve known them our whole lives, and most of them are barely bright enough to have a favorite beer.

I’ll pull back when my shitty Republican family members apologize for telling me that I’m the enemy of America. It won’t happen. To Republicans, civility is something that is owed them, never the reverse. The ones who invent that frame are the evil ones. The ones that believe it are the stupid ones. There’s no other choice.

We’ll be lucky if they don’t repeal Lawrence.

We'll be lucky if they don't overturn Lawrence. The opportunity to turn a reliable Democratic voting bloc into non-voting felons would be irresistible.

They’re both public figures. You can lie about most anything without any big issues unless there’s demonstrable financial harm. This is also why Fox “News” still exists in the US.

Bosnia exists. And when there was ethnic cleansing aimed at the (bare) majority Muslim population, we intervened. The problem is conservatives. As usual.

No. They didn’t. In most instances, people with Covid have minimal or minor symptoms. Thinking someone with minimal symptoms was cured because a medication used to treat multi-cellular organisms living in humans was used is not rational. Also, since hydroxychloroquine causes heart complications, using it for no reason besides funsie moron right wingers want it used is irresponsible. Your sources lied to you, probably by cherry picking.

One of the most notable frauds in recent science history is Wakefield's "Vaccines cause autism," fraud, which has spawned a movement of credulous fools afraid of big pharma making money off vaccines that save people's lives.

CDC recommends that people get MMR vaccine to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. Children should get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Teens and adults should also be up to date on their MMR vaccination. Two MMR vaccines are available for use in the United States, M-M-R II and PRIORIX. M-M-R II and PRIORIX are fully interchangeable for all indications for which MMR vaccination is recommended. Children may also get MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). This vaccine is only licensed for use in children who are 12 months through 12 years of age. I'm not trying to beat up on you here. You're getting at least misinformation and likely disinformation. Your sources are either innocently wrong/stupid or intentionally lying to you. You need better sources.

Hydroxychloroquine was tested because a bunch of right wing nut jobs kept complaining that it wasn’t being tested. But neither were any number of antibiotics or anti-inflammatories or anti retro-virals, muscle relaxers, depressants, meth, etc. They just latched onto hydroxychloroquine (and ivermectin) because some right wing grifting manipulators pretended it was real despite known side effects, especially heart-related, that were also exacerbated by the coronavirus. Again, the VA caved to pressure, including from right wing veterans for 3 or 4 days while I was inpatient at a va hospital. Then it ended and wasn’t in my medication list again. Granted this pisses me off more because it’s personal and a bunch of yahoos used me as a Guinea pig with absolutely no reason to think it should work despite increasing cardiac risks.

I mean, I’m not the one complaining about experimental drugs being used to treat a new virus. When they say, “novel virus,” it means new, not that it’s a book. Every treatment is experimental because it’s new. And I was involved in one of those experiments when the VA tested hydroxychloroquine. Fortunately the test ended in 3 or 4 days, and I wasn’t one of the people who died to honor a right wing conspiracy. Because hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin (both made by pharmaceutical companies) are not appropriate treatments for a coronavirus, which is what Fauci tried to tell the sludge-brained while right wing propagandists were manipulating them. But, no. That doesn’t fit the bedtime stories told to and then repeated by high density kumquats to make them more comfortable in their underschooled mediocrity. The stupid book written by stupid man does not deserve a point by point rebuttal for bad faith actors. It’s just another Gish gallop that no one has time for. Pick better heroes and not just grifters manipulating you for profit.

Why the actual fuck do I need to be polite to a moron who uses old faked studies to pretend still, in twenty-motherfucking-twenty-four that vaccines cause autism? He’s a crack pot who did some good environmental law work and then poisoned his legacy with pseudoscience. The moron actively pushes that the HIV virus doesn’t cause AIDS. Even his former colleagues distanced themselves from him. I can’t imagine credulously reading anything he produced anymore, unless he goes back to litigating mountaintop removal mining.

That’s not happening. You’re being triggered by someone’s bad fanfic.

It’s going to be a really rough time if the Republicans get to roll back all the good stuff Biden and his appointees have done. The CFPB is getting ready to set limits on overdraft fees to something in the $3-15 dollar range. There’s no way the bankers would let that happen in a Republican Administration. And that’s 1 tiny thing.
