They pivoted on a dime to the rapist being an immigrant.

Yep. And acting like going scorched earth on illegal immigration would resolve pedophilia.

No, parading the mugshots of white, native born American pedophiles will not shift their views on the matter. They will insist that eliminating illegal immigration will eliminate all sexual crimes.

They know they're being dishonest.

On top of this, they'll often insist the 10 year old should have been forced to carry the pregnancy and possibly die in childbirth. Because gently caress you.

Hey now. They'll concoct convoluted conspiracy theories about high status white politicians raping children if it suits their needs at the moment.

It doesn't matter, regardless they'll shame progressives for trying to use this poor girl as an example of why abortion access is necessary.

While, again, using the situation as justification to start a pogrom against anyone vaguely Latino. Because It's Different When We Do It™ might as well be the Trumplican party motto at this point.

Panfilo posted:

They heavily downplay situations like pregnancy from rape and insist its an outlier among abortions and not somthing they wanted banned. This way they can make it look like pro choice activists are overreacting

Nothing in the situation disgusts me quite like "It's only X% of rapes/pregnancies anyway!"

Oh yeah okay that totally makes the 10 year old dying during childbirth okay.

You'd think that right-wing terrorists attacking electrical infrastructure and causing blackouts would make people mad at the right-wing terrorists, but hey that's just me I guess.

Nah, in this country, we reserve our anger for a handful of progressives armed with superglue causing a temporary traffic jam.

See also: socialist/socialism, communist/communism, and various other similar things.

Even "support are troops" was the same poo poo.

Don't support the Patriot act? Tax cuts? Social services cuts? Why do you hate the troops?!

The bottom line for me for a long time now has been to regard the catchphrase du jour from the right the same way I do a crying child. The actual noises they make don't really mean anything except that they're upset, and the thing they're upset about probably doesn't even make any sense to be upset about.

I guess the one difference between them and the child is "and they want you to shut up", which is only sometimes true of the upset child.

The thing worth paying attention to is how the right wing media is making and keeping people scared and angry, and whether it's encoraching on your friends/family because that poo poo becomes a legit addiction and it is possible to catch some folks before they're too far gone.

The text also specifics Orthodox Judaism, because the Democrat approval of Judaism is slightly positive (+3) and higher than Wicca (+2)

Which kinda suggests the disapproval might be over the Orthodox part, not the Judaism part

Group that tends to dislike insular, ultra conservative sects... dislikes the Jewish flavor of insular, ultra conservative sect.

Group that hates brown people and gays hates the religions that are favorable towards/populated largely by brown people and/or gays.

Oh yeah, when I think of people who are anything but insular, my mind immediately goes to Benjafer Shapiro.

Buddy, where the gently caress have you been?

White suburbia, I know.

You're allowed and encouraged to protect your home and workplace with firearms, and I'll emphasize that with "roof Koreans" memes anytime black people are mad about police violence.

But also how loving dare a police officer shoot someone that was climbing through the shattered window of a barricaded door in his workplace amid a violent riot.

He was using the 3 year old article to try and dunk on an article written today. But as per his usual ailment of "being Ted Cruz", he missed the mark and splattered himself all over the basketball court floor without coming anywhere near the net at all.

Unfortunately for all of us, his base is dumb enough that "different people at different times had different perspectives :smug:" works on them.

Dude knows drat well what he's doing.

Biggest issue is colour. Only takes a small amount of dark coloured plastic to "contaminate" light coloured ones. If all plastic was grey in colour, life would be better.

Also there's different grades/hardness/etc, but that can be dealt with more easily.

But if my Mtn Dew bottle isn't radioactive piss green, how will I know it's Mtn Dew?

I'm tired of Ben Shapiro types being coy about whether they're anti-LGBT or not and hiding under several disingenuous layers of "oh we just think traditional families are so important" or whatever. Just come out and say what you really mean, cowards!

Is he being coy? He told Dave Rubin to his face that he wouldn't come to his wedding or his home at all.

Also, Rubin continues to be painfully pathetic in his quest to keep getting that "as a centrist, left bad" money.

Yes, considering his actual desire and position is "I do not want LGBT+ people to exist at all." So anything he says on the matter that is not "I do not want LGBT+ people to exist at all" is him being coy with his eliminationist goals and desires.

If anyone has the gall to tell me J6 was "just a tour", I'm gonna ask them when would be best for me to break in their workplace windows with a stolen riot shield.

Y'know. For a tour.

“Woke” in Fox terms means “There was a black person who did not immediately denounce all other black people as violent welfare thugs” or “A women went 30 minutes without being assaulted by Roger Ailes.”

Hey now, it also sometimes means "someone suggested burning fossil fuels might be bad for the environment."

Conservatives are trying to blame the recent mass shootings on pronouns, because that's the best they've got when the shooter was a white cis het male I guess. Not a lot of self awareness among them either.

Dildo Baggins looking rear end goes on to say America has a "mental health pandemic".

Which, whenever pressed on it, really just means we should be violently forcing people to live cishet, Christian lives.

If I had a Twitter I'd honestly just be spamming "follow your leader" till I got banned.

This feels like that dumb bellcurve meme with "technically it isn't a ban" in the middle and "cute penguin book got banned because governor hates gay people" on either end.

Idk, I'm just gonna beat my "it's stupid that And Tango Makes Three got pulled from school shelves" drum because that's just a cute book about a real thing observed with two penguins in a zoo, and l, in my dumb brain, think nothing highlights the plain malice of fascists quite like banning something that's both cute and factual.

Edit: slightly more seriously, I think concrete examples of impact help a lot. People are dipshits, can't think in the abstract, and are ginned up on decades of paranoid propaganda, so they envision sweeping, worst-case patterns based on little to no data. They get told about Gender Queer and Lawn Boy and that's it; school is 8 hours of a blue haired lesbian showing 4 year olds how to perform oral sex even though the reality was the book was just gathering dust on a high school shelf.

I doubt cute gay penguin book is gonna change a dyed in the wool fascists mind, but it might soften up your dipshit relatives.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm hoping it picks up steam. Okay not too much steam because there's violent people with guns among that rabble, but, y'know, just a bit more.

Seriously we have a pretty blonde girl dating a Superbowl winning football player, and all the Real Americans™️ have to say about it is "SATANISM'. A new satanic panic centered around Taylor fuckin Swift is nearly unbeatable in terms of entertainment quality, and self isolating effect.

I don't think I'll ever get over the "pop musician is a Pentagon psy-op to elect a "radical-left" president" conspiracy. Just lmao.

On one hand, I want it to keep going because lol lmao how can anyone acting like that be taken seriously. Like, it can't possibly not be self isolating to be rambling on about the military somehow using pop music and football to do a leftism.

On the other hand, Americans are loving dumb and they'll tolerate nearly any thought or opinion so long as it doesn't threaten corporations' bottom line and isn't racial slur riddled (and even then the jury is out). Your "drunk racist uncle" is just an an annoyance, but anyone that thinks maybe Walmart should pay taxes is an active threat to the nation.
