If bakers can choose their customers based on sexual orientation doctors should be able to choose their patients based on political affiliation. At least one of these is a choice.

I still remember how she, with no chance of winning herself, fucked over Bernie to give the primary nomination to Biden. I'm good. She's totally on board with corporate democrat fuckery whether or not she claims to be one. Progressives aren't welcome in the modern right wing-lite party.

We need to get money out of politics before the wealthy kill us all.

I got covid right as 1.0 dropped and playing on my deck was about as much as I could muster entertainment-wise. I ticked into the 100 hour range last night and my only regret is not learning about snap to grid and the world grid sooner.

Weird isn't this exactly how Trump managed his presidency? Acting positions instead of clearing the approval gates. I guess the difference here as we can see is in the Republican's questions, Hobbs picks weren't ideologically poisoned enough to clear their bar, whereas Trump couldn't get his extremists into positions he wanted because of their poisonous ideology...

If Republicans didn't have double standards, they would have none at all.

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.

terrorism /tĕr′ə-rĭz″əm/ noun

  • The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.
  • The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation.
  • The practice of coercing governments to accede to political demands by committing violence on civilian targets; any similar use of violence to achieve goals.
  • The deliberate commission of an act of violence to create an emotional response through the suffering of the victims in the furtherance of a political or social agenda.
  • Violence against civilians to achieve military or political objectives.
  • A psychological strategy of war for gaining political or religious ends by deliberately creating a climate of fear among the population of a state.
  • The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.

Ah the proud conservative. Tell me friend, how does it feel to be a champion of legalized pedophilia, aka child marraige? Does knowing you are directly responsible for children being raped, legally, because "its a religious tradition" get the engine going? How about the fact that it's predominantly 60+ year old men "marrying" (to have sex with) young girls and in some cases with no lower age limit? Them proud republican traditions... from the people who have "think of the children" on speed dial. But they never wanted you to think of these children.

I'd be willing to bet you didn't have a clue. Why? Cause your dumb ass is too busy "owning the libs" to bother looking at your party or institutions actions at any level of the government that you arent spoon fed by fox or other republican propaganda mills. Laughable, that's how I see every conservative flinging of the term paedophile. It's funny because your institutions are rife with it, yet you are unphased by the hypocrisy. The catholic church and its priests raping boys is a trope at this point. The Mormon church protects its rapists by changing legislation so they can functionally ignore their confessions instead of reporting to the police. Every other republican politician has a history of sexual deviance, many including children... with the base gasping "imperfect vessel" to hand wave away their disgraceful behavior while accusing their political enemies of the same without a shred of evidence. Straight up moral bankruptcy. Knuckledragging bigots don't need no evidence to parrot their party's political message.

Just like they didn't need evidence to support an insurrection and try to overthrow our duly elected government. Lie to a republican enough, and they will believe anything. Questions like "out of 60 court cases why didn't Trump present any tangible evidence the election was stolen" are just unimportant details when the party asked you to "fight like hell" to maintain their power. Gullible, traitorous lemmings, the lot of them. Watching the Republican party coalesce around these traitors and try to white wash their acts as "desperate patriotism" is just pathetic and disgraceful. Every person that attacked the capitol on January 6th deserve to hang; being a gullible moron doesn't excuse one from the consequences of their actions. You support wannabe dictators at your own peril.

Overall, I can only guess how much spit you unknowingly consume in a year. Not nearly as much as you deserve, I imagine. You could try to be a better person, but then that would get in the way of "owning" the libs. The reality is you are so "owned" by your party day in and out, so much so you don't even know they own you.

"I saw the cross and it struck a nerve. When I think of those men in those dresses molesting children... I saw red, white, and blue... and I knew I needed to stand up for those children's freedom from this den of paedophiles"

This is the news story I'm waiting for. If only the people larping as protectors of children knew the call was coming from inside their own house of worship.

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