Some of the same people who want to ban library books and drag shows seem perfectly fine with sexual predators serving in the cabinet. Make that make sense.

It will never make sense and it seems that we have become perfectly fine with the erosion of American values. I feel that the Republican Party, more specifically MAGA is never going to held accountable. Anarchy and chaos will soon arrive, and this nation will never be the same!
He hadn’t been convicted. We on the left need to keep in mind that accusations are not enough to damn someone. It’s one of the pillars of our democracy.
To know what these people will say: "god works in mysterious ways".
We're all screwed bc the vast majority of the electorate is incapable of critical thinking. The late George Carlin said it best. The owners of this country don't want critical thinkers. They only want obedient workers.
not to parrot something i just read and am now applying everywhere but:
conservatives and religious people get their morality through authority. there is nothing that is "never allowed," just things that they do not have the authority to do and is therefore immoral for their level of person
for example: god can flood the entire earth, torture job, get a woman pregnant without consent, kill his own son, turn a woman into a pillar of salt. no one (who is christian) claims god is immoral for these actions or should not have done them, because he is got and he has the almighty authority
this translates back down to their own lives. nothing is "off limits" as long as you have earned the authority to do so. mix that with an overly simplistic view of the justice system and you get "if they haven't been put in jail for it, they must have had the authority, therefore it's fine"
this also explains why we get that common trope of "if you don't respect me i won't respect you" meaning "treat my like an authority or else i won't treat you like a person," and how they don't see themselves as hypocritical for treating others how they would not want to be treated
they treat those they see as "below them" on the totem pole as people who should be subjected to the whims of their authority because they have constructed an internal narrative that anything unjust happening to them is actually justified due to authority
so they spend their whole lives waiting for "their turn" to dish out this same mistreatment once they gain their own perceived authority. they do not see people as a horizontal strata that should have universal human respect or rights, since authority could choose to take it away at any second.
The important thing for them is to preserve gender categories that empower men over women. Drag queens undermine that, a lack of consequences for male sexual predators assaulting women supports it.
We can't -- but because a slender majority of voters decided to put this vile creature back in the White House, we're entering another nightmarish period. Going to be a long, terrible four years. God help this country.
Stop being distracted by this petty BS I do not give a shit who Gaetz fucked Musk stole this election and there is plenty of evidence see https://substack.com/home/post/p-151721941
Well, if the people who want to ban library books and drag shows are also taking their moral cues from a guy who raw-dogged a porn star while his third wife was home with the newborn, then the whole being fine with sexual predators thing makes perfect sense
It's a flex, a demonstration of power, to show that the things they themselves decry don't apply to them. You will never catch a fascist feeling shame for hypocrisy.
Either the Democrats move to a populist platform (like Bernie/AOC) or they perish. Authenticity won in 2024. Authentic populist democratic politicians with policies that speak to people’s actual needs are the only way forward. Elections are less than two years away. Midterms.
Because pretending that libraries and drag queens are a danger to children is just a cover for their bigotry and desire to keep people ignorant. And every manufactured problem the republicans conjure up is designed to stoke fear among voters while distracting from real issues.
I want to ban lobbyists, dual citizenship for politicians and repeal the smith mundt moderization from 2012. Also to teach kids to learn instead of weird indoctrination techniques to program them.
how is a man in "woman face" not an appropriation of womanhood? it demeans women, especially with garish makeup and revealing attire. such acts belong in nightclubs for consenting adults and not around impressionable children.
Where’s the fight- Duty 2 Warn Steve Spoonmore Duncan Buell “my view, a capable skilled series of exploits, electronic tools & hacks were used to change the Prez vote in 7 swing states incl AZ,MI, NC , WI- I will outline how I would recommend investigating. “
They’re not the brightest crayons in the box. That’s how you make it make sense.
Look…they’re like stunted toddlers. The kind of stunted toddlers who demand that you cut their sandwich into triangle halves and then throw a tantrum because you cut the sandwich into triangle halves.
PSYCHOPATH Trump didn’t corrupt the treasonous GOP cult/crime syndicate — a onetime political party now comprised solely of PSYCHOPATHS (1 in 25 persons in the general population) + their *psychotic human pets* = #NaziGOP = #PutinsGOP — he exposed it.

Beyond words

After all Evangelicals have been covering up for pedophilia for years in their churches.

Rs will grow HORRIFICALLY worse until stopped.
America becomes a
RUSSIAN SATELLITE STATE
once PSYCHOPATHS Trump/
Vance/Musk & #PutinsGOP take office.
Save the world from us.
What you're asking for is for those people to be morally consistent, which they aren't going to be with regards to their protection racket.
