and the GOprojection continues…
i havent seen a lot of mainstream articles pointing out the obvious, ‘most conservatives incapable of defining fascism’
not that a lot of non-conservatives can either, but they arent the projectionists attempting to sway opinion.
This isn’t projection. They’re not saying “fascists”.
ha, oh damn! i gave them way more credit than they deserve. thanks!
Why did GRINDR crash when the RNC was being held? 🤔
Though the word they are saying might share the same root as fascist. The Latin word fascis referred to a bundle of sticks and as French developed most s sounds before another consonant were dropped (status > etat, schola > ecole). Also c to g and vice versa is a common sound change. The French ruled England for a while and the word made its way into English then.
I don’t know if you cared about any of that but I do think it’s a funny name that those homophobes gave themselves
Republican candidate, stop minimizing Republican blame for these candidates.
Fat tits? Is that some slag I as a old person don’t get?
I appreciate the joke, I was gonna ask about the chicks with ducks.
At the same time, making light of these weirdos (republicans) isn’t worth it.
Quack!
Omg you can’t just use the q word like that

An English cigarette
Not to be confused with the British, who are known to ask, “Oi, can I bum a queer?”
At least buy me dinner first!
Yeah that one doesn’t really translate actually to be honest
Yikes. Quite extreme.
Hatefulness is simply exhausting. It’s not a trait I want in the people around me, much less in my government.

That foot on the back of the head kinda fucking.
Hawk-Tuah moment
What a gross person. I can’t believe someone would put out a video saying that, let alone someone running for public office.
I would bet money that she also takes part in lesbian orgies
Listen, we may have bad taste in women but standards can only go so low. I bet she goes bobbing for mussels in the hopes she gets invited to lesbian orgies
Edit: ok she looks like someone who your lesbian prostitute friend says managed to be the worst lay of her week despite being the only woman.
Doubtful. Lesbians are cool. She’d see that if she hung out with them.
I wonder if she was one of the kids at Epstein’s island.
A number of years ago while helping to build a theater set I was introduced to two self-professed “lesbians with power tools”. I still chuckle when I think about them introducing themselves that way.
My autism would make me think they ran a power tool renting shop or soemthing
Sometimes, there are valid arguments regarding transgender matters. For example, someone that has medically-induced higher levels of testosterone might have a resulting advantage in aggressive sports. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it’s at least worth discussing it openly and honestly. What I find odd though is that the people that make transgender matters in sports their main issue say they do it for fairness, especially in support of women. However, these same people tend to have misogynistic views everywhere else in politics, so I’m supposed to accept that this one particular thing is where they finally started caring about equality?? It just seems so inauthentic.
My sister is one of these people. She’s suddenly all about equality in sports. What?! When has she ever cared about anything or anyone besides herself and her kids as an extension?? When has she cared about fairness?? It’s so uncharacteristic of her to think that way, that I have trouble believing anything she has to say on the matter.
It makes sense if you don’t believe them when they say it’s about fairness.
What about jk Rowling? She works with and donates to lots of feminist causes.
Read her original essay on the subject and come to your own conclusions.
[citation needed]
You really don’t know any of the things jk has supported or worked with? But I’m guessing you have a very strong opinion about her, right?
Doesn’t it feel weird having strong opinions and not looking into them and finding out the background and stuff?
For example, someone that has medically-induced higher levels of testosterone might have a resulting advantage in aggressive sports. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it’s at least worth discussing it openly and honestly
Why is this worth discussing? You want to talk about how Michael Phelps has unusually long arms for his frame, which gave him a huge advantage while swimming? You want to talk about how some Ultramarthon runners have slightly different lactic acid buildup genes so their muscles don’t burn as much? You want to talk about how all the players in the NBA and the WNBA are in the top 99.9 percentile for human height, giving them a huge advantage? Should all of these people be banned from sport because of their genetic advantages?
Many athletes have flat out, built in genetic advantages to other people. There is literally no way to make this “fair” without excluding people that are outside of what will be a 100% arbitrary baseline or forced gene editing, which we are barely able to do and would be wildly unethical.
It’s not worth discussion, because the discussion will be asinine.
Theres a very simple answer to that: The things you are mentioning (height, weight, arm-span, testosterone levels) are not normally distributed in the human population, but follow a binormal distribution. It makes sense to let people from one of the two parts of the distribution compete within their own bell curve. It makes far less sense to set a cutoff at the tail of the curve and disallow people from the tail from competing.
Its simple? Okay. Tell me the exact “allowed” physical parameters for any sport.
Since it’s simple, these should be well defined and easy to source.
The “medically-induced” part renders everything you just said pointless
Its 2024. Only fucking assholes think this language is acceptable.
They are however also trying to lock down the asshole vote.
I don’t think I’ve heard that word out loud in over ten years and the last person I heard say it was a gay man. I’ve run into some pretty shitty people in that time frame, yet none of them managed to use it. That’s really bizarre.
I hear it sometimes, mostly endearingly from gay people, occasionally from a moving vehicle when I’m being one
Oh my God I legitimately until your comment was like why the hell would they censor fascist? And why would she call gay people fascist anyway??
I literally forgot the word existed.
Ok I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.
I got called it the other day when I put my hair up in a bun. And earlier that day I had coworkers say “he’s a man!” When I came in with my hair up and they didn’t realize yet that I didn’t cut it. Welcome to SW Virginia
Damn dude I’m just a straight derp metalhead with hair to my ass now (it wasn’t short short pre plague but since I couldn’t get a haircut I decided it’s time for metal hair). Worst I get asked here in mn is how long it took to grow out and the crap I put in it to make it look great and other details like pillows etc… latter normally women asking for info dumps. I do get confused as a woman rarely when people are on autopilot but that’s just amusing at this point and I just give the person a bit of a ribbing for assuming. It’s understandable but makes you realize just how much we bucket people by just off hair alone.
I find it a great shitty people filter though, people that don’t like it tend to not be my kinda chill with like babymetal or we butter the bread with butter silly metal or generally. Good luck on moving sounds like the south is def not for me now if it ever wasn’t.
Damn, I’m sorry. The fact that people like this are still around is baffling. I moved to Indiana about two years ago, and I’ve found many folks out here to be pretty backward, but not that good damn backward.
It’s fine. I’m looking to move out of here anyways.
Best of luck to you in that endeavor. It sounds like the people are quite unpleasant in the area.
Do it! I left SW Virginia for the Pacific Northwest and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Doubled my salary, with a modest CoL bump.
Had to come back to help take care of a terminally ill parent, and can’t wait to leave again when they are gone.
I’d love to live in the Pacific Northwest
I hadn’t heard it in ages. Hung out with a group of my LGBTQ+ friends and they uh. Use it like the N word it seems. Was startling to hear but was used in friendly context. I did not join in lol
I mean, some gay guys wear the F word proudly. So, she’s not wrong about that?
Kinda weird for her to be obsessed with other people’s sex lives though. Think she’s insecure?
The F word has been used for a lot of heinous shit - most LGBT+ folks I know avoid that word and, personally, I appreciate that because its forever burned into a painful memory of mine. If Gen Z/Alpha want to try reclaiming it I wish them the best of luck but I’ll never use it myself. I hope millenials were the last generation to really feel the sting hurt bad en masse?
In my experience as a millennial we’re the youngest reclaiming it. It’s usually old leathermen reclaiming it. Though I do have one friend who her and I will call each other it in response to the other calling her a transphobic slur.
In short I don’t think this reclamation is going to stick unless the baby bears start seeing it as a position of power like dyke got. It’s a word the young associate with the pain of the old and the old use to take away the sting of our pasts.
I’ve definitely seen the Tumblr crowd reclaiming it
A lot of Gen Zs and millennials use it in a reclaimed way. It varies between groups in the community though. It’s not super common, at least in my experience, and most people I’ve met that do use it make sure it’s okay with the people that they’re talking to
One purpose of someone personally reclaiming a slur is to reduce the sting of something used to hurt them. This is different than how it is being used in this quote, where it is being used against a cis woman the speaker considers masculine. It is being used to cause harm, here.
Someone’s trying real hard to prove she shouldn’t be in any of the groups her political party wants to purge.
“because before if a man hit a woman, it used to land him in jail”
So she also virtue signals about being against “domestic abuse”. I bet the very moment they no longer need to hide it, Project 2025 will suddenly also involve the allowing of “abuse of wives by their husbands, as a treat, if the husband is justifiably angry on that day at anything”.
Project 2025 folks…Hold on that’s not fair, what did she do before he hit her…it was justified because the Lord said it’s okay to hit your property…
For the rest of the sane world, that is an abhorrent perspective.
I knew it would be this lady before I even clicked the link. She’s not just a GOP weirdo—she’s a fucking loon. Like deranged enough that she’s going to hurt somebody.
