Think of it from the patriarchy sense:

If you’re married, it means you implicitly consent.

So yeah. 50+ year old men can marry 13 year old girls and not rape them. Because the Bible says so.

Why have a trial? SCOTUS already ruled President Trump is a king and can kill anyone so long as it’s an official act.

We are entering the beginning stages of fascism people. Hold onto your butts.

I wish I could for the life of me remember which book I was reading when I heard this but basically the ultimate goal of fascism is cronyism, where a very small number of people control and have power over everyone else.

In order to accomplish this, they create enemies just like you state but they are very specific in the order in which those enemies are created.

It starts with people with whom you can easily identify. Immigrants, people who are a different color than you. Different languages, different look. Basically you are creating a group of who is bad so that you can create an implicit group of those who are “good”. But it’s important that the characteristics of who is good is never defined.

Once you isolate those who look different, you isolate those who act different. This is why trans people are attacked before homosexuals are attacked. Or in our current environment, there is a lot more violent rhetoric against the trans community than the LG community. But once they are gone, their hatred will return to homosexuals.

Once those who act different are dealt with, now you have to be more arbitrary because you have a homogeneous group. Now it becomes about status and class. So you the poor are the ones that face the brunt of the state.

At this point, cronyism usually sets in and you either are loyal or you are killed.

The pledge clearly stated that it only applies to Democrats!

The only hope I hold onto is that we need a constitutional convention anyway. If this convinces states to actually trigger an Article 5 convention, then I’m all for it.

“If you want roses, one must mind the thorns.”

They voted for a racist, rapist with felony convictions and a pending prison sentence.

They may have not wanted to be treated like property but they are going to be. And if they don’t like that, they can leave…except the very people they voted for are removing the ability for women to leave their husbands.

And even if they leave, even if they get to a safe place, I fucking guarantee you that they will still vote for Republicans.

If you want to give those women empathy, by all means. These women are about to experience fascism in a way they have never seen before. But don’t think for a second they wouldn’t vote for it again because of their values™.

The ironic thing is Breyers ran commercials about how you could pronounce every ingredient in their ice cream. They had like a 10 year old read their ingredient list vs. competitors.

But when they got bought out by Unilever, quality went downhill fast

For now. I fully expect rules like this to be fully rolled back so that ice cubes will be legally “ice cream”.

They didn’t vote for this. They voted for other women to be treated this way. Whores. Sluts.

Not them. Because they are Christian and blessed™.

Their husbands/boyfriends/pastors will never treat them that way.

Until they do and then they’ll be Pikachu face.

BuT iT wAs HeR tUrN!

Guys guys…I think we have a loophole. We can crime so long as we have a PAC and run for president.

I remember when his tax “cut” first was experienced, there were a bunch of tiktoks on the fact that their taxes went up. A lot of “I didn’t vote for this!” Videos.

But they soon forgot.

His fans are like cats. Easily distracted, so long as someone else is getting hurt worse.

The problem for the Democrats is that the tent is very big. There are a lot of issues and a lot of people who care about very different things.

Gaza, unfortunately, was one of those. We had people who grit their teeth and voted Harris even though it was going to hurt them.

On the other side, Jewish zionists would have absolutely turned on Harris if she fully supported Palestine. Harris made a pragmatic choice to not alienate the zionists in the hopes that her opponent would be so toxic that Palestinians would see the lesser of two evils.

The really frustrating thing is Republicans don’t have to run this kind of campaign. They can run a campaign on shit, fantasy, and rumor and their base will still show up and vote.

John Oliver’s segment on Palestinians really cemented it for me: if your family was killed by a missile sold to them by Biden, it’s really difficult to support his successor.

Sure you may not want the orange turd either.

But imagine the heartache of voting for the person related to the one who is responsible for the death of your family.

I know I can’t. And a part of me feels for them.

What upset me the most is that Harris used Hilary’s election plan verbatim. No one stopped to tell Harris that Clinton lost.

Sanders warned her that if she wants a good turn out, she needs to have a plan for the working class.

Instead she wasted weeks trying to get Republican endorsements instead of trying to shore up her base.

Lol.

Four years? Try four decades. The ramifications of Trump’s first term is still being felt now.

Nah at this point, Putin is ready to fuck Donnie in the pooper.

It’s funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.

In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.

Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.

If Trump truly does win, Republicans won’t split the country. They’ll make it even more impossible to leave.

Because of Racism

So kind of like how farm cooperatives work (I think?)?

There’s a guy at the farmers market that offers “shares” of cows. I can’t remember the details but you pay for a certain “guaranteed” pounds of beef plus sausage made from other parts (not guaranteed to be one cow), a long with some other meats (chicken, etc). When the cow is slaughtered, you get your meat.

It’s nowhere near as far. The odds of someone on the right intimidating voters because of a foreign looking last name has been proven to be near 1 whereas there are no reported instances of the left doing the same.

There are no “both sides” on this issue. Only one side who wants to hurt the other.
