I think the cons take issue with trans women because they project their own behaviors onto others. They think a man can just throw on a wig and a dress and do all kinds of things they’d like to do? Honestly, I’m cis male and I have zero interest in walking into a woman’s bathroom for my jollies. I’d rather not be in any public bathroom except to relieve myself and GTFO ASAP, and the idea of wanting to hang around the opposite sex restrooms to witness them relieving themselves? No thanks. But I honestly think some of these outspoken cons are honestly jealous of what they think trans women might be “getting away with” in that regard - again, maybe from personal kinks.

I think they also take issue with being “tricked” into being attracted to someone that was born male. For those that are probably closet cases, it seems to consume most of their day, to be honest. When I realize someone is trans that I thought was a female, I don’t take it as a personal insult, but there is a certain type of man that definitely does.

I think even most cons finally realized that not every gay person is after them, trying to “recruit” them, etc…but they have moved onto breaking out in beads of sweat over what trans women might be up to…

They don’t seem to spend too much of their time on trans men, though. A real puzzler. Not.

Yeah, most Americans support the RIGHT to an abortion, too, but that didn’t matter to the clerics on SCOTUS.

Is this the dude who lied about donnie’s height and weight?

Beetlebert is such a joke. She was a joke even before her vaping gropefest at Beetlejuice. Anyway, it would be fantastic if Empty G were to be caught in something similarly embarrassing.

Ann Coulter wrote an entire book trying to “set the record straight”, if I recall.

The right has felt they had to “suffer” for decades now by having to be quiet about things like: McCarthy, Nixon, Pinochet, slavery, and on and on. They cannot wait to be able to jam a counter-narrative down the throats of everyone, most especially your kids in government schools run the “right” way. If some of this gives them a permission structure for some violence, all the better in their view.

I’m unsure what “both sides” they think they are dealing with. The NYT might appeal to David Brooks types and maybe some liberals that are kind of oblivious to just how right wing the NYT actually is and has been (see them building a permission structure to attack Iraq, for instance). That’s a pretty narrow band of the spectrum, but might include a fairly high percentage of Americans, who knows. Maybe this range from the David Brooks Acela corridor type of con to people that are kind of socially liberal is who they are trying to appeal to.

When it comes to the unhinged right, I think they think reading the paper will turn them gay and turn their children into Jews or Satanists. And I would say the left knows just what they are dealing with when it comes to the NYT…

My word, this guy is so ridiculous. What a world we live in where it is THIS dumbass that may slither into office, again. Then again, Hitler was a total idiot, too.

If people yell “PRAISE JESUS!” at the happy ending of a public handjob, that’s very biblical and therefore, “moral”, in the eyes of Bobo. Even better if it’s a blowjob. Even better yet: PIV.

Yeah, sure, bobo. Did she say that between handjobs?

And then there are nefarious groups like ALEC or COR (Coalition on Revival)…

It always seems like there are deep pockets for stuff like this. Meanwhile, trying to keep the outright fascists out of office…crickets.

These people would claim that they are the only TRUE xtians, and declare that other denominations are not “real” xtians (or just call them “pagan”, lol, which is xtian-speak for “RINO”).

Eh, I don’t know how much playing the No True Scotsman really gets us, though.

I don’t want any religion of any kind having any say over what we do in a secular context. All of them, no matter what they are called, can go fuck themselves the minute they think they get special privileges over others.

All of these people can go fuck themselves. They can put copies of “the” ten commandments up in their homes or their places of worship and we’ll tolerate it. That’s how tolerance works.

Those not in their little book club have zero fucks to give when it comes to their rules. Their rules are for them; they don’t apply to others in a secular nation.

Yep. The racist and anti-intellectual undertow goes back a long way. It is not just Ronnie Raygun (or donnie, for that matter), it’s a very long tradition of this nasty stuff.

Democracy in Chains details efforts underway long before Ronnie Raygun slithered into office.

Ronnie helped set in motion so many things…including Faux “News”.

People would do well to remember just how much Ronnie Raygun ruined this country and set us on the path to the loser that is donnie.

Even now, you’ll see gaslighting from Enlightened Centrists and people on the supposed left that Iran/Contra was not really that bad, even if it is arguably far, far worse than Watergate. But Ronnie and Bush I were given a pass on it, since America was “exhausted” or some such bullshit the “liberal media” spun at the time.

Of course, the right are utterly unhinged when it comes to ronnie, possibly only surpassed by donnie in their worship.

He “loves” it for all of YOU people. Rules for him? Fuck that noise.

pardoned

It’s too bad there is not a way to have a pardon from a “president” like donnie invalidated for donnie being a traitor. Same with naming justices.

Our Constitution needs some updates…
