One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
And before you go there, you know better than to expect anyone here to buy the “he didn’t call for the eradication of trans people, Just trans ideology” shit. Either proposition requires trans people to not exist in public, and the latter requires eradication of the mere idea that trans people exist at all. That’s not an improvement. That’s nazi shit.
Thank you for the illustration of how monstrous bigotry can be expressed using only civil language. reddit demonstrated that an overemphasis on civil language often resulted in an environment where “be civil” meant “don’t sass the nazis.” I hope lemmy remains better than reddit in this aspect.
On Lemmy it’s entirely up to the moderators of any given instance or community. Some instances are fiercely anti-censorship. Some will have a more restrictive approach. We can always create new instances and communities, and vote with our engagement.
They’re getting pretty fucking close to literally being Nazis. They condem social welfare, call opponents pedophiles, lie and cheat, are actively trying to disenfranchise voters and dismantle democracy. The GOP has put business interests above human interests at every turn, they use antisemitic dog whistles, use physical violence to attack political opponents, they’re anti intellectual on every level, anti immigration, anti ethnic minority. I really don’t know where you come off thinking they’re not Fascists, but maybe you’d care to elaborate?
I remember the GOP used to be the party of family values and fiscal responsibility. Now they’re just obstructionist. What meaningful legislation has GOP introduced that would benefit anyone but their own business interests?
God is real. Jesus was a socialist hippy. He preached love, forgiveness, and tolerance. Jesus condemned money traders in the court of the temple. He would be chase by a Lynch mob, called an Arabic terrorists, and probably shot by contemporary Christian conservatives.
What’s your point? Please elaborate as to what ‘reality’ you are referring to. Sounds like you aren’t a Christian as much as you are a cult member.
I don’t think you know what Irony means. But I feel like you are the one who the irony is lost on…
John 13:34 Jesus said "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
“If you’re against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer or at least you don’t denounce the grooming of four 8-year-old children,” wrote Ron DeSantis’s press secretary Christina Pushaw on Twitter.
US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene proclaimed “the Democrats are the party of pedophiles,” adding that "either you are pro-pedophile and pro-transgender biological men or you defend children and women.”
Greene’s comments might be dismissed as the ravings of a crank if the rightwing weren’t united behind her. The moral panic over child porn extends from the lowliest 8chan poster to the halls of the United States Senate. The GOP is tapping into the energy of the QAnon base by repackaging their entire domestic agenda, from education policy to Supreme Court confirmations, as a crusade against pedophilia.
What the? How did you whataboutism this about guns?
The GOP has been on the warpath against the LGBT for a while now. This is a fact that stands independent of the gun debate.
Oh and i am a liberal that fully supports the LGBT and every minority in this country having a weapon. They need a means to protect themselves since the government has decided to not defend them and “conservatives” have decided to murder them.
If I was poor I’d focus on having enough money to pay the bills instead of buying a Deagle every 6 months or whatever. Their argument is baseless and they have no point. It also has cero to do with LGBT anyways. I dislike these republitards immensely.
That might have been a valid concern in the early 1940s, but nowadays I think people can understand that “Nazi” is just a generic term for fascist scumbags
Hi. Your side literally shared a meme of a stolen cartoon frog wearing Trump’s hair and dressed in a Nazi SS Uniform, lining up politicians on our side to be sent to a very obvious gas chamber.
Piss off with that nonsense. Any Republican who isn’t a literal Nazi is no longer a Republican at this point.
I agree, but Republicans aren’t literal Nazis. Stop overusing the term, just adds confusion when real Nazis come up.
Republicans are openly cheering for eradicating vulnerable minorities.
Really? Who?
Michael Knowles said it at CPAC. His conservative audience cheered.

Hooray for decentralization and federation.
With a few notable exceptions, lemmy has been hostile to fascists and hasn’t fallen into the trap I described above. I hope it remains that way.
Please move to exploding heads with the rest of the fuckwits and apologists so you’re easier to block.

Patriot Act
Funny because GOP notoriously vote AGAINST banning child marriage.
If I write a bill that says conservatives are pedophiles and then Republicans vote against it, are Republicans pro pedophile?
More children have been sexually abused in a church than by gay people, but I don’t see the GOP lining up to make bills on that.

Shithead’s sure stumping for GQP…
I will when they stop trying to systematically erase minorities and LGBT people
Who wants to do that? The people who are trying to pass laws to disarm poor people?
What the? How did you whataboutism this about guns?

Yeah, because the second amendment is exactly what impoverished people need right now
