    This is correct but it’s delusional to think saying this to them would work. They need to be deeply afraid to express their opinions. They’re dug in and if this year taught us anything it’s that they aren’t convincible. The only realistic path forward is to make them fearful. Ridicule isn’t enough. They need to be afraid if they voice their opinions. Afraid for their reputations, afraid for their careers, and afraid for their very lives. If they aren’t afraid at that level then we’ll only sink farther. Them not getting laid isn’t nearly enough. They should live terrified that people will find out who they really are, and they must be afraid at the highest level.

    EDIT: Reading this back I realize how this sounds, I’m NOT saying that anyone should take that kind of action, but when Sherman matched to the sea, that kind of fear was the goal and it briefly worked. Likewise after the civil rights movement. It’s nothing more than the tolerance paradox.

      Oh, that astrix is obscuring a much fouler word, but you are a bit too young to learn it yet. We will tell you when you’re older.

      edit: tough crowd

        … cuck?

        A self-cuckblocking slogan?

        As in, the person saying the phrase is preventing themself from being or becoming a cuck, preventing themself from… having a woman cheat on them whilst knowing about it?

        ???

          Sorry, no, there is no “super hidden extra curse word”. It’s obviously “self-cockblocking”. I was just making a bad joke.

            Your ‘joke’ then was lying about something having a hidden meaning simply to seem patronizing, to gaslight and infantilize?

            Seriously, walk me through this, I don’t even see how that is a bad joke, it isn’t a joke at all, it’s just an insulting lie.

              Well, I thought it was so obviously “self-cockblocking” that it would be apparent there was no “super secret hidden extra curse word”. Given that, I didn’t think it would come across as patronizing, infantalizing, or as gaslighting, but instead as just a bit silly. Since you know, there really is no other word that makes sense, so the “lie” would be abundantly apparent and as such no insult could be taken.

              To add on to that, “we will tell you when you’re older” is just what people say when they don’t want to explain an obscene word or concept, which fit well with the idea that this fictional word was “unfit for polite discussion”.

              So with all that in mind. Since OP rightly pointed out that “cock” really isn’t worth censoring, I felt it would play on the readers expectations that, if cock wasn’t worth it, there must be some worse hidden word that justified the astrix!

              And we could all laugh,
              “oh ho ho! They are using the super secret hidden curse word that must never be spoken!”
              we’d say.

              Comfortable in the knowledge that in reality it was just a bit of overly cautious censoring of cock… And we would all have a good chuckle.

              I’m really not great at jokes and I’m sorry if this one made anyone feel patronized, gaslit, or infatalized.

              Edit: if I had a do over, I’d say:

              Oh, that’s not cock… Nobody would censor cock… That must be! gasp… No, nevermind, I dare not say it, it is forbidden.

                I got your joke and enjoyed it. If I’d gotten here sooner, I would’ve explained that it’s the social curse word you’re only allowed to know if you’re old enough.

      There are enough right wing women to keep this true.

        Protecting those women from violence is the hard part. Women googling “can my husband tell who i voted for” saw an uptick leading into the election. Not sure there are any good solutions or outcomes given the typical attitude of law enforcement likely to side with conservative men.

    We knew that in 2016, and yet people still thought “Sign me up” or “I’ll stay at home on election day” were likely to work out well for them.

    FAFO it is. Ugh.

    So sad the younger generation had to be exposed to this type of rhetoric. When I first read the slogan that’s exactly what I thought… There are a complete lack of social skills Make them parrot some losers slogan.

    And then he’ll either walk away glad he dodged a bullet or slip drugs into her drink and probably not face any real consequences. People don’t seem to understand how the Rogan/Musk/Tate loving Trump supports think. Just a reminder, a higher percentage of women voted for Trump in this election than last so I don’t think the political right is going to be significantly impacted by this.

    For sure we need to keep bagging on these shitty dudes that think they’re better than any other gender, but don’t forget to also take shots at the women that voted for these policies as well. Equal shaming for everyone.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      They believe they are the good guys.

      Apparently it used to be much more fashionable to punch people in the mouth. Buzz Aldrin, american hero, comes to mind.

    I feel I’m going to be saying this a lot… Women, repeat after me: “MAGA cut off. No pussy for 4-years.”

    Nothing else, not even a pithy one-liner, nothing for them to grab onto or ague about, simply a hard NO. Can y’all please make this a real movement?

    Wasn’t there a pair of warring African tribes where the women got together and told the men they were cut off until they made peace? May be misremembering a bit, but it worked, instantly.

    EDIT: Looks to be more than one such story in Africa alone.

      I think you miss the implication of, “Your body, my choice.”

      It’s not about abortion. It’s about rape. They are threatening rape. Telling a rapist that you are withholding sex means nothing to them.

      There is the 4B movement. I don’t know much about it, but I think it started in South Korea. Basically, women are swearing off men for…I don’t know how long.

      There was an ancient Greek play by Aristophanes.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata

      Edit: someone needs to put this on without modernizing it. This sounds hilarious.

      A Spartan herald then appears with a large burden (an erection) scarcely hidden inside his tunic and he requests to see the ruling council to arrange peace talks. The magistrate, now also sporting a prodigious burden, laughs at the herald’s embarrassing situation but agrees that peace talks should begin.

    This slogan sounds so much like a parody on Rightist ideology that despite all evidence I’m still struggling to believe it’s an actual Rightist slogan
