Greetings,
I am profoundly saddened that our rights are being eroded by old people. Its gross.
Today I found out that Catholicism is real and isnt just a religion from the show The Tudors. Apparently these Catholics are to blame for the erosion of our rights.
In an effort to understand Catholics I have been watching catholic television and have found out I really need stained glass windows in my life. I also enjoy their hats. Catholics, unlike Mormons, do not get their own planet when they die and thus I don't really see the appeal. Please hate crime all Catholics you come across so they will stop eroding our rights with their medieval ideology (and do steal their hats).
God is not real by the way.
To cope and feel better with all this terrible news I am watching a documentary about teenage prostitutes in Prague. For some reason the man being interviewed is doing an autopsy as he discusses how he gave 20 teenage whores AIDS.
This soothes me as I assume they're all Catholics.
How are you doing? Are you okay?
It's important to check in with each other and ensure we're all doing proper self-care.

tbh I'm starting to wonder if I should be far more panicked about the end of the Miranda rights.

I definitely don't think there's any optimistic way to view anything that's happened in the last two days, other than if you just want to watch the world burn.

Narrator: They won't
Shit is so polarized at this point. The economy, crime, inflation, and general bullshittery we all saw coming once the lockdowns started two years ago are going to wisk all those "centrists" (i.e: politically lazy folks that don't keep up with their civic duty ever) into the arms of the GOP.
Even Oregon is in danger of electing a republican governor which is absolutely unheard of.
The dem's ineptitude and passive behavior has fricked us all.

We can only hope that the absolute rejection of the Democratic Party might serve as a wake up call.
But deep down we know how lost we really are.

There's literally a Nancy Pelosi ETF on Robinhood. I think we know what the dems are up to. The wedge issues that defined the parties are being dismantled to the detriment of the social democrats and their constituents are discovering they arent doing anything to stop it. Biden cant even cough up 10k of student loan forgiveness let alone stop the supreme court from sending us back to the 1950s.
We're all expecting gay marriage to fall but once the sodomy ruling is overturned I think we might all collectively decide that drastic action needs to be taken.

Chill out lol. Strags will still be allowed to blast bussys. This ruling is just another example that extremism always backfires politics. Social progressives and liberals have been making power grabs since the 1990s and trying to convince people that their actions are βpopularβ. But there will always be backlash to lunacy

I hope so! Not because I hate the gays, but because of the shit show that would create. Dramacoin would go through the roof!
Fortunately I live in a country where gay marriage and abortion were inscribed into law and not left in the hands of 9 political pawns on shaky legal grounds.

Student loan forgiveness will never be a thing lol.
Also, gay marriage wonβt fall. The ruling might be overturned but it will codified if it does since any overturning will be on technical grounds. In fact, the reason most of the dissenting justices in the case did so was how it was the court legalizing it and not congress.

It's really not hard to dunk on Dems because they're mastered the art of virtue signalling, and that kind of thing puts you increasingly out of touch with reality because you become more attuned to signalling than genuine virtue, and so people generally hate this kind of hypocritical behavior.

Oh come on bro. Letting states (and their voters) decide whether women should be allowed to kill their babies is not a fascist and theocratic threat. Letβs not turn into Reddit here

listen man this isn't reddit so you're not protected by moderators from me telling you
you live on a planet populated by apes who tell the delusional narrative that they are civilized
descending from a long line of murderers and dictators whose wars over control of the ship of state were regular disruptions on the livelihood and lives of common folk
the combination of mostly hysteric religious narrative
with the designation of an authoritative figure whose assault on the symbolic transfer of power
along with the slow and steady erosion of civil rights and liberties over the course of the decades since 9/11
a man just screaming loudly that he didn't lose an election despite any evidence of such is in fact being believed by the religious authoritarians, that's what makes them religious authoritarians.
you are really stupid if you can't see the theocratic fascism at work here.
I'm not saying you have to vote Democrat, they're corporate suits who vote for what the money wants. but if you can't recognize the truth of this moment, that your life up until now has been not just relatively peaceful, but relatively unusual in the course of that peace, then you have no political intelligence. if you're lucky, you're just making excuses, hiding behind the nonsense logic ("Let's not turn into Reddit here") that lets you pretend that there isn't a very clearly drawn picture of the uncivilized apes doing something they have reliably done for centuries. if you're not lucky, if you really can't perceive the existence of those who desire to implement their fascistic vision of a theocratic society on US soil, then you really are slurred.

Some people are able to display their intelligence by going on at length on a subject and never actually saying anything. This ability is most common in trades such as politics, public relations, and law. You have impressed me by being able to best them all, while still coming off as an absolute idiot.

Either this statement is r-slurred or overly hyperbolic. The fundies are not going to institute theonomy, nor would it likely be fascist if the improbable to impossible happens.

People continually make jokes about how the "other side" only cares about identity politics and other kinds of meaningless, divisive garbage (which I ordinarily agree with them about, btw) but then their own "side", in trying to get some kind of power, can only find meaning in poking at a 50 year old court precedent. This whole thing is as meaningless as anything idpol people ever did, all anyone has accomplished, as usual, is pissing a lot of people off for no good reason. The drama is the best it's ever been, but the politics is the worst its ever been. I guess I hope somebody's happy.

Libs: Rethuglikkkans are ruining this country. Drumpf is literally Hitler!!! I hate his mean tweets and how he says things that were popular consensus pre 2008
Drumpf: I was born and raised in New York and have said Iβm pro-choice previously. I also won the Republican nomination by bucking conservative norms, going against party leaders and standing up to special interests. But sure, if you have no interest in working with me, Iβll appoint Supreme Court Justices whoβll really make you mad.

The problem is that Trump doesn't say stuff like that. He may mean stuff like that, but he doesn't say it.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
His 2016 run he did say plenty of things like that. His stances on trade, immigration, and entitlements were very similar to Democrats pre 2000. And the seething he caused in Reublican party leaders like Romney was well documented. Voter polls showed they thought he was more moderate than Clinton.
I think by 2020 the media successfully managed to paint him as βfar-rightβ to their listeners. Whenever I ask leftoids what about Trump makes him βfar-rightβ, they always struggle to answer. Sometimes they may come up with claptrap like βmuh fascism and racismβ but his policy positions are quite close to an average 90βs Dems. Current day Dems just hate the mean tweets lol. They also hold their own leaders to a completely different (and lower) standard. Thatβs why Biden, whose eulogized a former KKK member and said βif you donβt vote for him you ainβt blackβ, is not racist while Drumpf is.
As an aside, Iβve always dislike how performative being a moderate is. Guys like McCain and Manchin developed βmaverickβ personas because of their flair even though they backed their parties on the most important issues. Bill Clinton with his βSister Soulijahβ moment really kicked off this entire performative behavior. Nowadays, progressive Dems will screech about random things that everyone knows is impossible to implement or do. And then when Democratic leaders donβt implement them, theyβre hailed as βmoderateβ. Itβs all so tiresome.

No, he says stuff more like this.
"Mr President, they ask me, Mr President, how is it that you became such an extremist? An extremist is what they call me! I don't know what - if you just heard some of these things they say, and they call me an extremist. So I tell them, I tell them, I'm not your typical Republican. And I tell them this right to their faces, I look them right in the eye and I tell them, those special interests you don't stand up to - well I stand up to them. I've made my entire career out of standing up to them, even the New York Times - terrible paper by the way, just terrible - but even the New York Times, they wrote a piece about how I didn't get my fundraising through the usual Republican channels. And I look them right in the eye, I give them a firm handshake - I give the best handshakes - I tell them, you don't want to interfere with me when I'm running the country. I'm naming Supreme Court Justices, and you, who are you naming? Where are you getting your money from? The lying press, the Fake News."
Do you get it? Trump certainly may mean "Iβm pro-choice previously. I also won the Republican nomination by bucking conservative norms, going against party leaders and standing up to special interests. But sure, if you have no interest in working with me, Iβll appoint Supreme Court Justices whoβll really make you mad" but he doesn't say it so clearly and succinctly, instead he just embeds that message in word salad.
And sure, Trump may not be "far-right," but he sure doesn't give too much of a shit about democracy. The irony is, that copy of "Mein Kampf" he used to keep by his bed might seem racist to some wokie who doesn't understand Trump's Trumpian personality, but the hilarious truth is that it had literally nothing at all to do with any sort of Nazi affectations, he was simply studying Hitler's playbook. Those poor 1/6 protestors may have thought that they were protecting Democracy, but Trump 100% knew what he was doing when he stirred up the crowd.

Well, that's certainly the rumor. I've never personally confirmed his reading preferences because obviously breaking into Trump's office at Trump Tower a few blocks from Central Park East would be highly illegal and only shady government organizations like the NSA or FBI would ever commit such an invasive violation of somebody's privacy.
