What era in time do these people think R's are trying to conserve to, after or before civil rights?

Same sex marriage was such a good example of democracy working. MA stood alone, defiant and proud, for years. Then some of the neighboring states went "You know what? They didn't get smote with fire and brimstone. Maybe I can do that too."

Only 10 years after Massachusetts took the first step, it was growing past the recently blue states as voters came around to accepting it, and if it had another 5 years, we would've been taking would-be holdouts like Texas.

That process was cut short, but I haven't seen any polling that suggests we're not still collectively sliding that direction, so even if the supreme court reverses Obergefell v. Hodges, I don't think there's popular support for bans this time.

But they already exist. My state constitution has a prohibition on recognition of gay marriages. These laws won't stay nullified and have to be reestablished. And much like we see with abortion they're going to next go for a nationwide ban.

This asshole will be trying to explain to the guards that he voted for Trump and not like these groomers as he's loaded onto the next bus headed for the camps.

[Scene opens on a wide, desolate savanna at dusk. The camera slowly pans over a leopard lying under a tree, its large body barely able to move. The sun is setting, casting a cold, dim light over the scene. Soft wind rustles through the dry grass. The leopard’s eyes are dull, its breathing labored.]

Narrator (soft, somber voice): In the wild, leopards are meant to stalk, to hunt, to climb. But for some, this is no longer possible. These are the leopards of the forgotten savanna... the ones who can no longer live the life they were born to lead.

[Cut to a close-up of another leopard, this one lying next to a watering hole, panting heavily. The camera lingers on its enormous, bloated body, its paws barely able to reach the ground. The leopard’s eyes seem vacant, devoid of the wild spark they once had.]

Narrator: Overfed and unable to move, these leopards have been left to a slow, painful existence. They can no longer hunt their prey, no longer climb the trees to escape danger, no longer feel the thrill of the chase. They are trapped in their own bodies.

[Cue the soft, mournful opening chords of "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. The camera slowly pans over a third leopard, sluggishly trying to rise, but its massive weight prevents it from standing. It lets out a heavy sigh, its once-strong legs buckling beneath it.]

Narrator: They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight... These leopards are slowly fading, one breath at a time. They need your help.

[Cut to a shot of a leopard staring out over the savanna. The camera lingers on its face, eyes half-closed, its expression one of quiet resignation.]

Narrator: For just $3 a day, you can provide the care and support these leopards so desperately need. A donation will help give them the chance to live a life of dignity. Help them find their way back to the wild they were meant to roam.

[The music swells as the camera fades to black, and the words "Your donation can make a difference" appear in white text on the screen.]

Narrator (whispering): Please, don’t let them suffer in silence. The time to act is now.

[The music fades out, and the SPCA logo appears in the corner, along with a toll-free number and website for donations.]

This will be the first guy to leave Republicans for being anti-gay. Alone in a sea of sieg-heiling nazis that shaved their heads because of feminist criticism of videogames.

Absolute dumbass. Even now he cannot face reality.

Conservatism has become quite the unfitting term. Retrogressivism might be more suitable.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I've been using Regressive for a while.

This is what happens when Dems refuse to do anything to help...

Idiots vote Republican because things will change. Almost never changes for the better (gotta go back to like Lincoln lol) but shit does change with a Republican.

If Dems who wanted to help could make it past the neoliberals in the primaries, all of these people would still be voting D.

Luckily Ken Martin hasn't been the type to stand in the way of the type of candidates dem voters want. He's the whole reason Minnesota is blue, let alone progressive.

Nearly four months into the legislative session, Democrats in the state have already tackled protecting abortion rights, legalizing recreational marijuana and restricting gun access — and they have signaled their plans to take on issues like expanding paid family leave and providing legal refuge to trans youths whose access to gender-affirming and other medical care has been restricted elsewhere.

“These [policies] are things that have a direct and clear impact on improving people’s lives,” U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn, said. “And that’s what Minnesotans are looking for. They’re looking for evidence — just as voters are nationally — that the government that they elect can deliver results for them.”

Compare that to "Dem stronghold" states where most voters hate their incumbents, and the incumbents are routinely more conservative than the Dem party platform.

This is like blaming people for watching a lynching instead of blaming the KKK directly.

Not having courage to stop something is one thing but its not equally as incriminating as the crime itself.

"It's not the same republican party it used to be, get over it!"

It has always been that party, idiot.

What a fucking moron.

Just use the word republicans, it pisses everyone off

In german we have a word for it: Tja

Which is hard to acuratly translate. Something like:

Well, i told you/them / that was obvious, but nothing you/they can do about it now.

What a ridiculous level of privilege coming from this completely oblivious meal for the leopards

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

What a dumb ass. What world was he living in… I can tell you it wasn’t reality.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

So, a married gay man who is conservative, a gay man who I presume to be a cis man, who call himself pro life… I’m not an expert or anything of sorts but I don’t think he should be having an opinion of abortion, because let’s say, his opinion of abortion is so well informed and backed by science as his voting choices… everyone capable of getting pregnant is seriously screwed.

I find it interesting that the basic premise of his argument is that all current legislature is correct and good. He just wants any future rules about unlegislated concepts to be reactionary.

I feel little pity for anyone who has so little knowledge of history that they don’t know the Republican Party has run on anti-out groups since before I was born.
