I work in public benefits, processing apps and interviews for food and cash benefits, and I have clients all the time who are embarrassed or ashamed to be applying for benefits and I always make sure to tell them that they've paid their taxes and these are their benefits to claim. Anti-communism/anti-socialism has broken a lot of brains.

Regardless of free health insurance or college or anything else… a shared federal standing army is socialist as all hell ala Keynes

Seems like the skipped the part where they use their money and influence to try to make X illegal.

No they skipped the part where in the original the character roles are swapped, and it was originally made by internet atheists in the mid-to-late aughts to highlight how Christians find anyone not acting like they want them to act to be a threat.

Yeah I was gonna say, I'll take that deal. The Christian doesn't have to say being trans or doing butt stuff is good as long as they don't try to ban it. It's also funny because the Christian is doing the same thing as their strawman: getting upset that the strawman won't praise the Christian's behavior.

It's also skipping over the extent to which conservative Christians refusing to say "X is good" is also an avenue of control. I am less concerned with whether they say a trans woman is good and must be celebrated than with whether a trans woman is permitted to use the women's bathroom and play in women's sports.
