The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans

[-] Moah 9 points 1 day ago

We've been thinking that for three generations and somehow they're still here

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They are children! They are victims here.

Edit: the fact this got downvoted, the fact there are people who will gladly punish children for the actions of their parents, what a hellish world we live in.

Nurgle cultist. May measles spread and give new life from the dead and rotten.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 52 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

i had no sympathy for anti-vax adults during covid, their choice to risk their lives. But children with basic vaccinations? their parents are taking the risk and the ones that didn't choose are getting the consequences

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

One side takes the risk, the other side faces the consequences.

Are we still talking about parents/children? Because that also applies to republican politicians/everybody else

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

[-] GratuitousStealth@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.

[-] imvii@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

That moron again? Someone fire her please!

Out of a trebuchet pointed at a wall.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago

Trebuchet yes, but still at the sun. No, she won't reach. That's okay. Parabolas are beautiful. Don't @ me.

Out of a canon.

Into the sun.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

It's so weird that they don't want abortions to be legal but they basically want spontaneous death to happen after birth.

[-] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 days ago

Yay, baby gambling!

But on the serious note, they want poor to be confused, miserable and desperate. They themselves take all the best healthcare, all shots and boosters, but they want for pandemic to happen because it would occupy ordinary people's minds and also give the government additional abilities to control everyone, while the collapsing market would once again benefit the rich and make poor even poorer. There's no downside for the likes of MTG, Trump and RFK as long as they are in power.

[-] Intergalactic@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

She needs to be censored and imprisoned.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Stupid bitch.

When did we start rewarding politicians for being angry and stupid?

[-] dan@lemmy.i.secretponi.es 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Since 1994. When Newt Gingrich first slithered onto the scene to start spreading lies and dumb bullshit. Prior to that it was just lies.
