it’s not like logical consistency matters to them.
In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They’re not held back by “weaknesses” like truth and facts
All that matters to them is power
Naturally it would be preposterous for him to be on the ticket for President, but the reason they continue to let him run for Congress is because he counts towards the Dems in terms of determining which party has the majority and therefore sets the agenda for that chamber of Congress. Without him, that particular part of WV would almost certainly go to the GOP and tip control of the Senate firmly in their favor.
It’s a deal with a devil, and one that has burned the Dems more than once. But without him we’d probably be completely fucked.
I’m not deluding myself about anything. The choice isn’t “vote for or against genocide” it’s “act to get less or more genocide”. It’s not a false dichotomy; if you’re not voting to defeat Trump, then you’re acting to get more genocide.
By not acting to defeat Trump, you’re enabling genocide more than Biden ever has.
“I’d rather let someone who actively, aggressively advocates, enables, and wants genocide domestically and abroad to win the presidency, over voting for somebody who passively enables genocide to happen abroad because actively trying to stop it could ignite WWIII” is still a bad take.
It’s baffling and hypocritical.
Google WPATH Standards of Care and read that document for the truth. It’s the actual rules that doctors are supposed to follow for treating trans people.
Until you’ve read that, you can’t have an informed opinion on the matter.
Women’s sports are divided out so they can compete equally.
This isn’t true at all. Women’s leagues were created because men refused to let women play in the leagues that were already created. That’s literally all there was to it.
“If nuclear war happens, we won’t be second in line pressing the button,”
Which means you’ll be pressing the button first. Which means you’re the one starting the nuclear war.
And the worst part is, I think that might actually be what me means.
The thing is, police and politicians don’t care about getting correct results, they only care about results. An innocent person convicted is still “case closed” and “another criminal punished.”
Politicians can be made to care by threatening their jobs, but the police still don’t give a shit about catching the right person as long as they can put somebody behind bars by any means possible.
I’m their view, the experts are part of the problem and should be ignored.
He’s also said that he regrets a lot of that. 🤷🏻♀️
I think it’s important to note that the solution isn’t to not remove the dams, it’s to fucking nationalize the power companies.
So… MAGA voters
To the fascist, hypocrisy is a feature. It’s a tool that removes restrictions for themselves while it restricts others. It’s a flex; their strength is so great it can’t be bound by internal consistency or mental consonance.
To the fascist, if hypocrisy grants them more power then it’s a good thing
and not address the actual discussions.
Sorry, you lost me. What actual discussions are being ignored?
The difficulty is that the only way to achieve equal status is through equitable treatment. But some people don’t want equitable treatment, oftentimes because they don’t want equal status.
Gotcha. Very valid point.
secure housing, with no food insecurity, medical care, and plenty of hygiene supplies
So … Prison, right? We’re talking about prison?
People love looking at the first civil war in conversations like this, but the next civil war is going to be nothing like it. For a likely comparison, you’d have to look at the Spanish Civil War and The Troubles in Ireland.
Americans have no fucking clue what they’re asking for.
I don’t have to imagine rotflol
My kid and a bunch their friends deal with it, and I and many others are there to help them. And it sucks for them BIG TIME. It’s hard, even with supportive family and friend groups. My kid had two classmates just this year lose their lives to suicide due to LGBTQ hate.
The 90s were worse.
I really think you have no idea what you’re saying.
I’m quite sure you don’t understand how it works.
