Hearing "anti-morality" from the child rapist is surreal.
In the land of the rapists, the woman with a whistle is the criminal
Other than extremism on migration, race, or gender I’m proudly all those things.
I hope the US government can be overthrown and their extremism on migration, race, and gender can be ended
I assume I'm all of these things since they probably consider being in favor of trans rights as gender extremism.
Extremism for migration and race probably hinges on whether you believe in due process
I hold radical gender beliefs, I believe that trans women are women, trans men are men, and women and men should have equal rights while simultaneously yelling kawabunga.
Other than extremism on migration, race, or gender I’m proudly all those things.
Bullshit. You probably hold normal people views on those topics, rather than the negative IQ views that the GQP has. You fucking extremist /s
Oh I am extreme on those things too. Extremely supportive. Aggressively so. If you try to fuck with that stuff, I'll fuck with you. And not in the hip new slang meaning.
Other than extremism on migration, race, or gender
I think you'll want to check what their definition of "Extremism" is first.
Extremism on migration, race and gender?
Well... that's the GOP
Extremism depends highly on what you define as normal
Gives it away that "Christian white cis male born in the US" is what they think of as normal.
Are we ignoring this is unconstitutional and against the foundation of the founding of this country?
You must be new here.
I do love the American inclination to roll out a 250 year old piece of literature, stare down the barrel of a gun, and announce "You can't do that it's against the rules".
The Founding Fathers were violating provisions of the Constitution practically before the ink was dry.
But hey, maybe this is the moment when waving a big copy of the seven original commandments of Animal Farm and shouting "Four Legs are supposed to be good, actually!" will fix the problem.
I'd argue trump checks several of these boxes.
I'd say he checks more boxes than he doesn't. Though arguably, "traditional American views on religion and morality" could mean believing in freedom of religion and not being full-on fascist. The only one he probably doesn't check is the one about "traditional Americans views on family".
Let's not pretend that this list isn't designed to target out-groups. The definition is going to be flexible to allow anyone they don't like to be guilty.
That list is honestly terrifying.
My therapist has talked to me a lot about acceptance. I accept that it's terrifying and we should fight back.
That's still easier to live with than accepting what happened in my previous marriage.
We can individually contribute to resisting the regime. For LGBTQ, minorities, and people with disabilities simply surviving is active resistance.
I can't do anything to make my ex unfuck the other dude.
Support for overthrowing the government you say. Hmmmm let me think 🤔🤔 Who. Who could that be?
I wonder who supported the last insurrection...
Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion,
So, like, not separating church and state? Or not being an agnostic deist?
extremism on migration, race, gender
Like Trump administration???
Nonononono, the other extremism. You know those extreme psychos who like immigrants, black people or even (pause for effect) trans people.
Yea, love is extremism now.
"traditional American views on religion" so do they mean like upholding separation of church and state, or not quite that traditional?
It's the same contradictions all the way down the list.
"anti-capitalism"
So anyone who supports the government directly and arbitrarily interfering with private businesses? Like Trump is doing constantly?
"anti-Christianity"
So, anyone opposed to helping the poor and needy? Anyone who doesn't treat foreigners with respect and kindness? Anyone who skipped over that whole "meek shall inherit the Earth" thing?
"support for the overthrow of the United States Government"
So, Trump and MAGA.
"extremism on migration"
Also Trump and MAGA.
"extremism on race"
Trump and MAGA.
"extremism on gender"
Trump and MAGA.
Ah yes, anti-Christianity. The founding fathers would be proud!
A reminder: To fundamentalist christians, the moment you hear about Jesus Christ, yet decide to not convert, you're anti-christian until you do so.
"overthrow of US government"
Lol no. That's what traitor trump is doing. They're attempting DARVO lmfao. Fuck this dumb list lol. It's a patriotic duty to oppose tyranny. If you support this dictator, you are a traitor.
Change "anti-christianity" to anti-religion and I'd have a perfect sweep.
I can at least understand what's being said by a few of these, but do we have an official, on the books, definition for what constitutes "extremist" views, or what "traditional American values" are in this context?
I'm guessing not, because I'm not sure they know what any of that actually looks like anymore.
They think they do, but they keep the wording vague in their official statements because these rules are not to preserve American culture or their way of life, it's all vibe based. I don't like you so let's see which of these vague statements I can attach to you so that you get in trouble that you literally cannot afford to get out of....
The entire point of vague shit like this is that they can use it to justify going after whoever they want.
Vibe-based assaults on people's rights are a traditional American value
Oh, they know when they see it. Its anything that isn't blindly falling in line with the party line. Simple as.
Traditional American views on morality? Don’t those involve a lot of rape and murder?
I love how vague this is. Extremism on gender is entirely up to the reader to decide the definition. To some people 2 genders is extremist and hateful, to others anything except 2 genders is extremist and also somehow hateful.
"traditional American views" is a terrifying phrase for a Government to be using. It's so heavy with euphemism it's almost ready to burst.
My family seems eager to visit the US. Meanwhile, there's the list of reason's I'd rather not.
I would get ICE'd so fast
Pro-America
Pro-Christianity
Pro-"Traditional Values"
Pro-Capitalism
Suggesting there is a middle path approach to issues of racism, misogyny, and homo-/transphobia.
Sounds like a fucking dork to me.
From the free speech party to the stop all speech I don't like party at break neck speeds.
"When you are in power, I ask you for freedom, because that is according to your principles. When I am in power, I take away your freedom, because that is according to my principles" - Frank Herbert
Man I love being an enemy of Trump. Can't wait to piss on his obituary.
Judge a man's character by the quality of his enemies.
Hostility towards those who have traditional views on family sounds like a bullshit way to say "doesn't like homophobes."
