Baby steps. She's 60+, and came to me with an earnest question. I didn't feel it the time to correct language. Especially when there's comics like the one you quoted still pushing that it's all the same, and it's all deviant. I was a little proud of her, really, because she's been becoming more conservative Christian as she gets older :sigh:

Oh for sure, I just recently found out that my mother-in-law was telling all her old folks at the old folks home about her transexual daughter-in-law and was like jfc.

There is wisdom in this post

Fulchrum, I've wasted far too much time on this argument, and we're clearly never going to see eye-to-eye on this, but I urge you to consider that progressive policy frequently involves taking action against the sole interests of the whites, and suffice to say the whites have considerable means which they have proven all too willing to use to protect those interests. Just try to take that into account. You don't have to make it your be-all end-all. Just remember that race exists, and it's important. Remember that race is a factor. That's all I want. Be intersectional about it. I'm not even trolling now. This is a heartfelt plea.
Since it's clear I cannot lead you to the answer, evidently I will need to spell it out for you by showing how simply your argument carries over.

Calling rich people all the enemy regardless of their actual policies or goals is loving idiotic, just as much as demonizing all whites or all Christians. The majority of all three groups is in the Republican camp, but it is only the portions in the Republican camp who are the enemy and should be hated vehemently. Because if you try to purge everyone of these people out for sharing a trait with people who vote Republican, all you will do is swell the ranks of Republicans and make it even more impossible to win and establish a less atrocious society.

Because there's a rhetorical reason that we don't specify "some rich people" or "some white people." And if you think through why you're so offended by the more universal term you'll understand why.

"Transgenderism" is not a word dude (outside of focus on the family's website). Being transgender is not a religion or a philosophy. "Transgender" is an adjective in front of words like "person", or "woman", or "man". If you're going to post like crap, at least crap in real words.

If I was the kind of guy who commissioned a politically-themed Ben Garrison portrait of myself, but I had the option of instead presenting myself to the world as Jeff Bridges, I know what I'd pick

Also the best part of the picture is still the "down" arrow on Borat/Boris' arm, the only way Garrison could think of to signify that Borat is not, in fact, pulling Osama out of the trash can
