Yes for rapists and sexual predators.
For potential victims, usually women and children, however that’s a different story.
I really thought we were going somewhere when the MeToo movement picked up, but the country just did a 180 move instead. 😩
Only guilty should be scared.
I would think that any normal person want their wifes, sisters, mothers, daughters to be safe and therefore the rapists in jail. What does that mean about these christian nationalists and billionaires?
Still in shock that with felonies you can’t join the military but you can become commander and chief it unbelievable that there such a large different standards in America.
The guy who might be appointed to lead the military, if he'd been active duty at the time, would have been dishonorably discharged for (1) adultery or (2) sexual assault or (3) drunk on the job. Go figure.
Librarians will be fired for lending books about anatomy and physiology to people who need that information.
Doctors will be gaoled for providing necessary (and frequently life saving)medical treatment to women.
Politicians may rape and pillage wherever and whenever they like.
Kind of a false equivalency. Politicians are hired/fired by elections but teachers with employment processes. “Meme logic” doesn’t really work with the non-Trump audience.
Yes true. I’m using “meme culture” to highlight the disinformation process. “Noise” might galvanize all of us here but it’s not helping us get to the middle- who we need to win elections.
"I’m using “meme culture” to highlight the disinformation process. "
But why? The disinfomation process has existed long before.
Neither the Nazis nor the Bolsheviks had any memes at their disposal. However, they used cartoons very effectively.
But most effectively is the spoken word./2
Using different terminologis doesn't really change the function in principle.
And employment process is also an election. It is just a different group of people who does it.
As an employee, you get fired for cause. In an election, you get fired for being unpopular. The information and processes supporting those things are very different. Centrists see the difference and these kind of messages don’t get them on our side.. is ultimately the point I’m trying to make.
This didn't happen overnight. It was a slow, steady trickle of people being conned by a propaganda of hate, racism and intolerance. The minute "woke" entered the American lexicon, it was twisted into meaning something hateful instead of something noble - then the brainwashing was complete.
Yeah
And the crazy thing is that both of them don't look like the races they claim are supreme.
One was short, had dark eyes and the other one is orange.
Or university professors getting fired for teaching the historical events that led up to the Nakba in 1948. Yeah, it's still happening. 😡 People are still being punished for feeding the homeless, too.
Indiana has one that sexually assaulted his daughter on her 21st birthday in Vegas. She told police he got her incredibly drunk, to the point she needed a wheel chair to get back to the room, and kept saying “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. Blacked out, woke up naked with him assaulting her.
The crime happened in Nevada and was reported to police. The crime was also brought to the attention of the other politicians in Indiana, responsible for maintaining ethics standards and what not, those politicians, “ took no position” on the matter.
If they keep cutting education it will keep the population stupid enough to believe the misinformation and lies. Trump and his circus thrive on the uneducated.
gqp history ignores Native Americans being slaughtered & forced from their land to live on reservations on inhospitable land, slavery, interment of Japanese American citizens in concentration camps, Hitler & most of WWII, & so much more as long as it’s sanitized to not offend their children.
To see where this country is headed All you have to do is look to the gop House selection of only men to head committees. You think this is a one-time deal? No it's the beginning.
Wishing CEOs and their political cronies a very happy open season. After all, they’ve been hunting workers, unions, and small businesses for decades—it’s only fair the tables turn.
I haven't seen much definition of what "great" means to many Americans.
If we go by actions, it seems to revolve around personal wealth and hating people that are "different". I don't think those two goals in life make anything "great".
But, in some eyes, yes, that makes seems to make it great.
Someone asked magas how far back we’d have to go to become great again. The answers were all going back to the 1950s. You know, Father Knows Best , segregation was still going on, women were in the kitchen or bedroom…that is what they think is great. Geez.
True, "Do what I say, not what I do." is a favorite too.
One difference. Trump and co said more than once that they are pro Putin and Kim Jong En and are OK for Europe to fall. I'm hoping it is more rhetoric and not real. We will soon know.
It's hard to know the truth with compulsive liars.
But for some reason the thing they don't like about the 50s, is the 90+ % marginal income tax rates on the wealthiest earners, which provided for the raging economy and advancement they ache for.
Not even “keep” their jobs, but be appointed to new jobs!!!
Embarrassing that sexual assault seems to be a job requirement rather than a dis-qualifier in this coming administration. Even the Secretary of Education nominee has sexual abuse charges lodged against her.
Former Senator Al Franken would like you to be more specific… Republican politicians can keep their job after forcibly groping women (and worse). Democratic pols lose their job for pretending to do the same when they were working as a comedian entertaining the troops in a war zone.
The point is the stark difference. Dems oust anyone involved in allegations of harassment and even those who engage in affairs between consenting adults because "it looks bad". Conversely Republiturds protect rapists, sex traffickers and child molesters who are allowed to stay in office.
So what kind of humans are we producing? Seems that America wants to be known as the country that creates and supports criminals. It also seems as if the World got the message loud and clear!
"During the 2021-2022 school year, more than 1,600 books were banned from school libraries. The bans affected 138 school districts in 32 states, according to a report from PEN America, an organization dedicated to protecting free expression in literature" 👇
Sadly this is true.Books are banned. Can't teach history. Can't show pictures of families with two dad's or two moms. Can't discuss gender, abortion, choices, critical thinking. But guns - of course as they have value. So sorry for the children, the families, and witnesses .
Keep true to yourself and to doing good for others. Life's short — but what is life without resisting evil? We are accountable for what we do, right and wrong. History is littered with wannabes who ruled with an iron fist, but the people continued. You do not have to walk alone to do good.
Yes, this is the goal
The time they're thinking back to is the 1910s
Women couldn't vote, they were allowed to be openly racist in the street, they could abuse workers all day long, judges handed out comically weak reprimands for their crimes, none of the regulators they complain about even existed
The world run by men and apparently 50 percent of white women like it like that. Many were teachers. What is also sad is that they voted for someone who should be recommended for special ed. Cannot wrap my head around this election outcome. Worse than I could imagine and feel so helpless.
I wholeheartedly agree. Especially when you consider the type of access to children that politicians have. IMHO, ALL politicians should have to successfully pass an Adam Walsh AS WELL AS gain security clearance before being allowed to even run for office.
It is now illegal for pregnant women to buy a suitcase in Texas. You cannot make this shit up and it’s totally insane (also moronic). We used to laugh at Texas but it seems it will be coming to all.
The only history they can teach is His-Story, where the white men are benevolent and never do anything wrong.
They are often vilified by others but are always the victims and never the perpetrators.
America rests on the foundation of the only things equal are: women, animals, land and POC, as they are all commodities to be treated with impunity by the patriarchy
We are at a point, where a politician can be caught on video SA'ing a teacher, and the teacher will get fired when the video is widely distributed but not the politician. 😭
It’s a mystery. They heard his speeches. He says racist things they wish they could say without loosing friends and their jobs. He hate the same things they hate. Wait until his broken promises come through. They will wonder what happened. Oops! Too late.
They are already proving none of that ever mattered. They just didn't want to admit that hatred fueled their undying love for that orange moron. Nothing but uneducated racist misogynists.
Nah, they'll blame Biden and Harris somehow. If mental gymnastics translated to physical skill America would never lose out on a gold medal in the Olympics.
That is very true. But we don't get destroyed from within (yet), at least not in my country. The core is stronger and people are taken care of better. Especially our healthcare. Our threat is mainly from outside our borders. Though we all go downhill if we don't unite the way we should...
I live in Germany where there'll be a general election in February.
In the polls conservative, Trump-affine CDU is leading (32%) with right wing Putin-party AfD second (18%). Chancellor Scholz' SPD third (16%) and the Greens 14%. FDP (CDU's Trojan horse) has left the government, is at 4%.
Same here, we've had elections this year. And Wilders won, sadly. It's the opposite of what I stand for, but we still have a strong base against it and lots of his things are not getting through. Things will change, yes, but the worst things are countered. Left and right still have to work together.
The orange bastard likes it broken. It distracts him and others from paying attention to the amorphous pile of broken-ness and failure that is Donald John Trump.
The "Make America Great Again" slogan actually is "Make America Great Again For Me and My Buddies"... do you really think their platform has the good of the people in mind?
The Upside Down, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits... It's like a really bad movie... I knew the GOP voters lost their minds with that Santos guy. Guess its going to get worse...
It's all the same to me, but I recall a time when leaders were not grifters ripping off disabled vets, call girls, pedos and so on. No matter who is in office the same people keep getting richer. I'm not crazy enough to be a fanboy to some billionaire and think he gives a shit about working people.
What Vets did he rip off , you people are ripping vets off everyday with the open border bullshit, allowing illegal to take precedence over Veterans, don’t go there with the lies bro!
Very difficult times we live in today. Having a hard time dealing with the attitude of maga GOP. Trump should be in prison and yet he's waiting for his inauguration as president. Never in my 77years did I think the American public would allow this to happen.
We also thought that we had a justice system. That has also proven to be a lie.
Had Biden put a prosecutor instead of a corrupt politician in charge of the department of "justice" maybe we would have seen some justice instead of rampant lawlessness.

It will be a long fight but they will all fall...and hard!!

In reality, memes are just a communications tool. Just like written text, photos and cartoons are. Or podcasts.
A tool, which didn't exist prior to interenet and computerized design.
Preachers aren't the most effective bamboozling tool for nothing.
People are looking at the Hitler and Goebbels speeches to this day.
When the orange criminal lies from his campaign platform or directly into the TV cameras, people suck it in like mannah from heaven.
But why? The disinfomation process has existed long before.

I do not know what that means. Being a centrist.
Many people talk about them, but I haven't met any yet.
Swing voters and non-voters. One needs to reach both.
Which brings us to the mind resident there. A topic all by itself.
One cause is if the Boss doesn't like you. Then, you are not popular with him. And out you go.
"The information and processes supporting those things are very different."
Much less so than it seems.
"Johnny wears the blood and brains of their classmate? That's fine"
"Millionaire killed? That's unacceptable"
"Millionaire kills thousands of people? That's fine"
"Person says something mean about me? That's unacceptable"
"I commit treason? That's fine"
From Elie Mystal:
These saw it to be preferrable to have this criminal and his gang in office.
That's why those with an ounce of reason in their minds are so shocked.
And the crazy thing is that both of them don't look like the races they claim are supreme.
One was short, had dark eyes and the other one is orange.
Trump's is running a "No Nutjobs left behind" rampage to get even with America.
Go team #BlueCrew! 💙

Teachers are being fired because these same lawmakers don't want a history inclusive of their crimes being taught.
You need that sort of clearance to VOLUNTEER for a school activity.
I think that's fine. BUT, I would like to see that sort of scrutiny applied to our public officials & politicians.
Guilty predators should NOT be in charge!
They are often vilified by others but are always the victims and never the perpetrators.
#JustSaying
We see there is no consequences or rules anymore.
And…you can’t get in trouble for made up words, right Florida?!
Where facts are political and lies becomes the truth.
Orwell would be impressed. Doublespeak at its best.

Bleak.
We have experienced gaslighting and propaganda for decades. It is no wonder so many people think Trump is wonderful, when he is actually a douchebag.
If the story is about left versus right, considerate propaganda. 1% Vs 99% = our reality.

Until the '70s, pregnant teachers were expected to quit or could be fired.
Married women. Public schools.
It could happen again in RED states.
