I wonder if conservatives feel personally responsible for persecuting lgbtq folks or their role as staunch defenders of legalized pedophilia in the form of child marraige. Maybe the systemic and pervasive racism they’ve baked into our country and legal system? Oh that’s a feature not a bug?

This is such an amazing premise that seems to have absolutely zero grounding in reality. They should have tested the concept of “ignorance is bliss”, because there is a whole of that going around and I could see it as a legitimate reason why they may in a mental health capacity be healthier.

When you are aware of the realities of the world they can take a psychological toll. It does make for a weird combination when you look at their overall “everyone is out to get you so you should hate everyone not like you” mentality, but at least they aren’t worried about their countrymen pulling a civil war or any semblance of the realty of global warming or major health crisis like say a pandemic.

The idea that conservatives feel any capacity of responsibility for their political actions is just laughable. They would sooner shift blame than consider their ideology has any cracks. Faith doesn’t allow them to consider they might be wrong and any information to the contrary is just fake news.

Now hold on they need to go vote for a guy that used the pandemic to try to kill his political rivals voters and then lied about losing the election to spark a coupt attempt to attempt to overthrow the duely elected government. They feel so responsible for it they are doing everything to play it down and pretend it didnt happen. But also they are the most patriotic people and don’t forget that.

Yeah man, referencing the dictionary and how a word is used vs the nonsense framing you’ve chosen. Some crazy shit.

May 2023 - “Target removes some Pride Month products after threats against employees” https://www.npr.org/2023/05/24/1177963864/target-pride-month-lgbtq-products-threats

Terrorism is an appropriate word here. Threats of violence to achieve political goals. They threatened employees with violence because the store chose to offer those items. I’m not really sure how much more clear cut it can get. Terrorism isn’t just killing people.

I like to stream from my pc to the deck when I’m feeling like escaping the desk.

So steam sale fodder rather than day 1. No problem it’s not like there isn’t a plethora of good games out right now and my backlog is pretty stacked.

Ah the naivete. Make sure you don’t fall off that high horse you’re liable to hurt yourself.

Sounds like our Agriculture industry. The people that unironically cry socialism when kids get free school lunch and shit…

Nothing. Not a damn thing that i suspect is by design. In my opinion it’s smoke and mirrors to distract from the fact that they support underage sex by older men through child marraige.

Did you know only 4 states in the u.s. require both parties be 18 and provide proof? Did you know there are 10 states where there is no lower boundary in age for the child? Did you know the lions share of child marraige involves an older man taking a female child as their bride through “parental, judicial, religious, or pregnancy exceptions.” The pregnancy exception is really interesting considering a child cannot consent… but if you get married after its all gravy…

“In the United States, child marriage is a pervasive issue with devastating domestic consequences.  Between 2000 and 2018, almost 300,000 children were married in the United States alone, with approximately 30,000 to 60,000 of those marriages occurring at a spousal age difference that should have been considered a sex crime.”

Republicans support child marraige while insisting Democrats are paedophiles, presumably to create a smoke screen for themselves. It’s always projection.

Don’t they have significant forces in Africa still?

Wells Fargo has entered the chat.

Not only that, but dude makes his claim riding on the back of the Republican party bringing back child labor and fighting to expand the disgusting practice of child marriage so Republicans can legally own and fuck children. Couple that with doing away with no fault divorce so your “property” is trapped.

Real big brain right here. Clearly thinking of the children.

the truth always prevail on evil and bullshit.

Oh to be so naive.

In the face of facts proving the election was not stolen while Trump presented zero evidence to show it was… how many Republicans still believe the lies to this day? It doesn’t help that the entire party carries water to support the lies…
