Hear me out.
Buy a massive freezer.
Adopt every single frozen embryo you can. There should be a bunch available in Alabama.
Move to Alabama.
Claim every single one for tax credit.
Bankrupt the state government.
If that doesn't work, keep going.
Register every fetus that's been frozen for at least 18 years to vote. They can't speak for themselves, so someone has to.
Elect sane people to office.
When your freezer conks out and all of your “children” are dead, then you are now liable.
This is why people doing IVF are so terrified. They could be held liable if their embryos become non-viable.
You can also draw a straight line between "embryos are children" and "all embryos must be implanted."
Yes
Exactly. They would probably force implant embryos into women, and then arrest them for murder if the embryo fails to take hold.
I’d definitely get redundant generators and batteries to protect my income-I MEAN, my family.
Can embryos inherit property? Could they be an end around on inheritance tax? The mobile children of the donors could be guardians of the inheriting embryo?
How much is a frozen fetus going for these days?
Ima need about tree-fitty.
Partisan judges are automatically unqualified.
Wrong
We need partisan leftist judges to crack down on cops, slumlords, union busting, discrimination, and other vile expressions of rightist ideology.
To me, the things you mentioned lean more towards basic human rights. I don’t think it would be fair to call a judge partisan if he or she rules to preserve those. But I’m just a dude on the internet. Happy Friday friend!
You aren't wrong, and and yet all those things I mentioned fall on partisan lines anyway. The problem isn't partisanship, it's right-wingers. If we got rid of those judges and replaced them with leftist partisans instead we could actually start fixing things. Justice is political, you can't escape that!
But I'm just a girl with a dream. 😏
I don’t think you are wrong either. I just think that the word partisan might be too strong? Ideally, I’d like my judges neutral, but where do you find those nowadays right?
Stay safe sis.
I think that's a trick the right played on us, to convince us that we should be apolitical and stop us from getting politically organized. Meanwhile, they're explicitly partisan and that's why they keep winning. Basic human rights aren't neutral and we shouldn't be either.
Reject idealism. Embrace politics. Solidarity forever. ✊
The issue is those on the right believe that's what makes judges partisan.
Who defines what makes you partisan?
Well, the judge saying God created government is a strong clue.
Well, if someone's chosen lifestyle compels them to start quoting things like "the" bible on the job and endorsing xtian nationalism, even if they have such a powerful role in a secular government, then it's cut and dry, isn't it?
This man is unable to make decisions based on the evidence put before him in a case. He instead refers to religious doctrine.
If they are children in Alabama then why aren't they working in a coal mine or slaughter house ?
Q.E.D.
and get jobs you lazy hippy fetuses
Because there's no coal in Alabama. You're thinking West Virginia. It's cotton fields in AL!
/s
WTAF is a theocrat like this even doing in our government in the first place? He apparently cannot separate his little book club's narratives from his role in a secular government and now we learn he is a conspiracy theorist?
What book club?
I don’t think he,…reads
A lot of members of that little book club don't even read the book they claim is sacred to them. One doesn't have to be a reader to be a member of that book club.
Just being extremely generous and assuming for the sake of argument that every crime that Trump has been proven to have committed was somehow a conspiratorial hit job perpetrated by some massive shadowy leftist cabal. I'll never understand how the "grab em by the pussy" guy is the Christian choice. How the guy who cultivated the image of ruthless businessman, and who fired people for the sake of entertainment is the Christian choice. The man who famously cited second Corinthians as "two Corinthians" to a room full of evangelical Christians is the Christian choice. How the guy who insults people so regularly and often that there is a whole wikipedia article dedicated to it is the Christian choice. And finally, how the Wharton grad, billionaire New York real estate tycoon somehow doesn't represent the "coastal elite" which is supposedly the enemy he is fighting against to restore "true Christian values".
Honestly, I'll never understand how Christianity has become ingrained with right wing politics. Modern day conservative churches are at odds with everything that Christ taught and stood for.
Christianity as a governing body has pretty much always been oppressive and against anything progressive.
Then you take your puritans, who were so far off the horizon of extremities that even established Christian governments in Europe were all like, "dude, you guys are cray-cray," dump them on the shores of an entirely new continent populated by brown people who don't speak Jesus, sprinkle in a bunch of beer and guns, add some African slaves, and you've got the foundation of the land of the free
They're just showing what wins when their politics conflict with their religion.
One need only look at the state to realize it's a shit show. Nothing in the Bible belt is worth saving.
Lotta good people you're throwing out with the bathwater there, but fuck 'em, I guess. You're stoking the flames whose destruction you condemn.
Super-liberal here who moved to Alabama because the jobs were too good and the cost of living is great; I'm going to do my best to vote these fuckers out and try to get more liberals moving into the state. The conservatives are doing their fucking best to disincentivize liberals to move here, but GA is a good example that liberals can flip a state.
I've said this before, but if I was a billionaire like Soros, I'd spend some time on trying to get people to relocate with direct financial incentives. Form some kind of foundation/not for profit that sets up places in red states for people most likely to vote Democratic to move there, have jobs, and have a decent quality of life. Often it's going to be cheaper, too.
It's only due to the way we are dispersed in this country that we keep getting too many cons in office. Someone with the money could hire people to make this happen...
It would not even take that many people moving to the right states and the Republican Party would be nearly powerless.
I don't know where you're seeing "good people" in the South. I live in Tennessee and I have to endure hearing people every goddamn day talking about destroying the country just to get back at the "left."
It's the only place I've ever seen "Trump Stores." And these people are ravenous about a second civil war. I just refuse to engage in trying to save people who don't want to be saved. Fuck the lot of them.
Imagine a gay woman living in Alabama. There's certainly a lot of them, we're everywhere after all. Do you think she's going to say what she really thinks while around strangers? Or is she going to keep her head down and try to avoid getting hate crimed?
You are in the bible belt. Should we abandon you too?
I'm not staying here. I've been planning my exit from this shit hole and the people here for a few months. I'm a gay man who has simply had enough.
There's no saving these people. The good ones are leaving, the rest are some of the worst people in the country; they either are dismissive of what's going on or indifferent.
Why would I waste my time voting here when my vote literally means nothing? This is a traitor enclave.
These people don't give a shit about anyone who doesn't go to their church, which is very denomination exclusive. You can't make them be civilized.
Not everyone can afford to leave. Should we leave them to die?
You, yourself, haven't left yet. What if we abandoned the south before you had time to move? Oh, maybe you're the Last Good Person in the south, and once you're gone we can leave the rest to suffer! It's their fault for being born in the wrong states, after all. Especially the ones that are going to be born because their mothers were forced to give birth. They deserve it.
I agree. Please send nukes south. Amen.
Is that a Y'all-Quaeda branch?
7 Mountains Dominionism is literally Sharia law but Christianity instead of Islam.
It is funny how similar they are. Only the name is different
Wow that guy looks evil
He looks like the guy that gets bitten but tries to hide it in zombie movies.
