At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.

Anywhoo here’s an article about it and Il make a follow up post https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2022/03/23/how-indiana-reacted-mike-brauns-comments-interracial-marriage/7138541001/

I'll do you one better! The interracial marriage ruling should be left to the individual!

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

Rah rah personal freedoms!

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 74 points 8 months ago

It's interesting how the only "states' rights" conservatives care about are the ones involving denying rights to the people.

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago

Unless their definition of "people" is somehow more exclusive.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 70 points 8 months ago

Everybody who votes for them knows exactly what they stand for. They vote for them because of the fascism, not despite it.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 8 months ago

"Braun" is the color of his Nazi uniform.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 20 points 8 months ago

And Hitler’s lady friend, too.

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 14 points 8 months ago

He was also born in Braunau am Inn in Austria and got his German citizenship in Braunschweig.

There were a couple of other Brauns popping up all over his history, like Wernher von Braun. Funny little coincidences

If Republicans win too many election, everything up to and including the second coming of slavery is on the table. That is not hyperbole.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 8 months ago

We already have slavery. It was never truly banned, just added the need to have been convicted of a crime. Ever wonder why the US has the world's largest prisoner population (not just per capita) and why African Americans are disproportionately brought to trial and receive more severe sentences (especially in former CSA states)? Slavery is the reason.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Overt Slavery was replaced with Jim Crow, which was replaced with great difficulty with a combination of encouraged undocumented immigration exploited labor, where they get punished for doing it but the employer never gets punished for leveraging it, combined with an expansion of the prison population to the largest coerced labor pool on Earth, and not just per capita, because we've made prisoners profitable.

America was built by and runs on the backs of a designated underclass by design. We have never been without a massive, policy defined underclass.

Shining city on the hill my ass. We have never not been a garbage society that revels in its own avarice and entitlement.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

This person gets it.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

Only 2 years late on that article

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago

Has he changed his position?

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Changed it almost immediately, in fact.

The Dobbs decision still leaves the door open for this, as well as other horrible things.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

The Gish Gallop* has gone from being a debating tactic to the entirety of the GOP platform.

*The Gish Gallop means that you throw out so many lies, half-truths and bizarre asides that your debate opponent spends all their time trying to get back to the issue at hand.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Yeah, once it's been a while since he first said it, it's not fair or relevant to hold him accountable for believing this sort of thing. That's why successful politicians always make sure to get all their racist bullshit on the record as early as possible, so that it doesn't come up when it matters later.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's relevant today because he is running for governor

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Ah! That makes sense!

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

Indiana never misses a chance to be a national embarrassment

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

This motherfucker is going to be my state’s governor next year, barring anything unprecedented.

[-] GeminiFrenchFry@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I don't see McCormick coming close. I've heard it's tightening, but I'm not sure Indiana going blue for governor will happen in my lifetime 😐

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

We had Evan Bayh when I was a kid. Maybe again one day…

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Authoritarian hierarchy doesn’t preserve itself.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

but but but I was told it was the natural order!

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

He’s likely to be governor, unfortunately

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Too late! We already have kids. And oh by the way screw you evil shameless republican person! Such awful people just make me feel so weird inside. Like how can there be idiots like that in the world,?

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Because there are millions of fuckwits who vote for them. Sorry.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

JFC 😬

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

who's gonna tell Vance?

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Turns out that just like Trump isn't really America's Hitler after all but instead the best of the best, his wife wasn't really all that great anyway, he never really liked her that much. Good thing she's gonna get deported to the Camps, it's about time, really. Then he'll ride into the sunset with his couch.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

After reading the article, it seems like he's a moron for answering a question that he didn't understand. It reads like he didn't know what subject Loving referred to. Maybe I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because I'm in an interracial marriage and don't want to believe that we are at a point where representatives actually think they can advocate getting rid of federal protection for interracial marriage but I don't actually believe that this idiot knew what question he was answering.

[-] Vatowine@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Stick your head in the sand more

[-] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

How did interracial marriage come to the supreme court anyway? States made laws against it?

[-] geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago
[-] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Seems like pretty textbook usage of the supreme court judicial review process, not sure how he's trying to argue that.
