MODERATORS
Every day I wake up and am reminded of the fact biggotry exists, something shorts out in my brain... Like, I just can't comprehend how anyone - much less a large group of organized people like the GOP - can possibly care so much about people's choices that could have zero impact on them.
They must just want to be angry. They want to play victims while they punish others, ironically creating actual victims. These types of people are so fucking sick and depraved, whether they acknowledge it, or not.
Maybe if they had real problems, they'd develop a minutiae of empathy.
Until then, these same people call all of us normal people mentally unstable... Because we care, and we are willing to fight their sociopathy with integrity and honesty.
One of the reasons the GOP is so invested in bigotry, is because it's useful to their goals. They need a boogeyman. Not only does it act as a distraction as they steal from their base, it also acts as a justification for why they need so much power: to protect you from the boogeyman. They choose minorities because those groups have less power to fight back.
Only if we're not unified 😉
That's exactly the reason why trans bigotry as a "feminist" movement has had so much effort put into stoking it. There's a ton of dark money from Evangelicals being funnelled into astroterfing to divide progressives by forcing wide wedge issues. They don't care about trans people, they care about turning non-conservatives against each other so that they can scoop up the disaffected to their cause.
Ten short years ago the average person in the street didn't care either way about trans people. Sure, they didn't get much recognition or support from government bodies, but neither did they have this army of self-proclaimed feminists trying to persuade them to kill themselves.
you weren't unified enough to prevent a convicted felon from getting into the white house a second time, so forgive me if I don't have hope for the future of your country
It's hilarious you assumed where we live, incorrectly. No we're not going to tell you. But maybe don't assume everyone or everymany lives on land stolen from the indigenous folks on turtle island.
my belated apologies for assuming that you were also part of the minorities you spoke about being unified. assumptions were made on my part and they do, in fact, make an ass out of mostly me.
I hope you can at least see where I'm coming from, in that talking about "if we're not unified" in a thread very heavily about US politics would inspire a person who is otherwise left-leaning to leave one negative comment about the future of the US as a whole. I meant and continue to mean no offense to you, about whom I know nothing; my aggression was evidently directed elsewhere.
We meant minorities/marginalised people as a whole should be unified, not in any particular place.
