Because too many chose not to vote and willingly gave him power.

facism. This is the same stuff the actual nazia did.

But don’t actually call them Nazis, you’ll have very normal people responding to you that they can’t be Nazis because they’re not actively running gas chambers or invading Poland or some nonsense.

I weep for the historical literacy of this country. So many will argue about what to call these shitheads while they slowly work their way through the ‘undesirables’ until they get to people they care about. It’s like that old poem:

“At first they came for the Latinos and gays, but I didn’t say anything because we have to tone police monikers until we’re at the hight of the barbarity.”

Or something, idk.

I’ll concede the first 2 points, but I’ll argue the 3rd.

Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.

Ok, what moniker would you use for fascists that want to deport/kill minorities and put them into camps? Authoritarians who pander to the common people and tell them about all the socialist policies they plan to enact during the election, then immediately give up the lie and say they are just going to do authoritarian things and start rounding up minorities and persecuting sexual minorities? Fascist works, but it doesn’t really fully encompass what they’re about.

If only there was a shorthand moniker for authoritarians who run on nationalism and socialism together… Like, some kind of National Socialism. Though, these ones are also “Christians”, so they can be the National Christians. We could abbreviate it Nat-C too.

The problem presents when the average goes down.

I’m not appreciably smarter than I was a decade ago, but the average person appears to have been collecting head injuries in that time it would seem.

All those positives on there, and shit like trump is a bad person but a good president. Counter points:

1, can you really be a good president if you’re a bad person?

2, you can’t be a good president when you’re actively trying to subvert the constitution.

3, Nazis can’t be good at much other than spreading hate and pain.

This is the kind of gang violence I can get behind

Because suffering and fear is the point

Same, though the nice thing about being in a (largish) polycule is that someone gets tested every few months

Lol, you don’t have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don’t want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they’d take that as the compliment it was).

One of my partners squirts like a fountain, and we just put a towel or 3 down to catch it so she doesn’t have to sleep in a wetspot

Anybody have a TLDR for people who have been blissfully unaware of the Space Karen vs Twitler slap fight?

I had moved away a few years and my mother was homeless due to her own choices and lack of effort to do anything. My wife and I were in town visiting her family, and we decided to take my mother out to dinner. During the meal she was (rightly) complaining about the perils of being homeless and having to watch out for the pigs. I suggested that she look into getting into some government housing. You know her response?

“I don’t want to be the light in he dark.”

If you’re as confused as I pretended I was, she means she didn’t want to live with/around black people. Which was really fucking surprising to me, considering we had lived with, around, and had been friends with all kinds of POC growing up (as you you tend to do in poor and mixed neighborhoods and when you have to rent out rooms to get by). That level of racism was rather surprising, but she had become toxic as fuck in the years before I moved, so it shouldn’t have been.

Very easily, that’s why you never see things like “use glue to keep the cheese on your pizza” or “Marlon Brando is a human man and will not be in heat because that’s for animals”

What’s a downvote?

Well, they’re still right even though there’s also something wrong with the people purchasing it as well.

Republicans have long lied about people not showing up to immigration hearings, and now they’re doing their best to give people a fantastic reason to not show up.

Yep, and sometimes you’re just not cut out for the needs of your kid.

That’s unfortunately where I am. I love my kid, but fuck if they don’t make me want to run out for a pack of smokes and a gallon of milk some days (jk mostly)

it’s irresponsible to have him just stay in Congress at all, since he might miss crucial votes.

That’s the name of the game with boomers. Gotta keep yourself going until you die in office so conservatives can have another win and erase anything you may have accomplished.

Why yes, I am still mad about RBG, why do you ask?

Why the fuck is there a Letterkenny spinoff about Shoresy?!?
