Probably explains why they have been absolutely serious, for decade upon decade, in claiming that "liberal media" is a thing. The con has their positions on things, and they are far to the right on the broader political spectrum, and the American spectrum as well.

When the "liberal media" reiterates all the right wing assumptions about the world, they don't notice or think it is "political". The minute they report something factual that conflicts with their extremist position, then that's "political".

Yes, this. Even the most rather meh Democrat is going to be somebody you can probably move on the issues.

Obama was not for gay marriage, either. People forget that. Just because a candidate is not dying on some hill for sports while running doesn't mean they are transphobic or will impose some transphobic agenda. Republicans keep trying to spring this trap on Democrats because they know it can be painted that way for some on the left, and of course, they have nothing else to talk about, since their party is busily fucking up everything for everyone right now.

Meanwhile, the Republicans have members that want to murder people for being gay or trans.

Talarico still pledges to support a national ban on surgical interventions that help transgender youth, which may include top surgery or hormone implants.

This is some crazy bullshit. This kind of thing should be between parents, the youth, and their doctor(s). A national ban? WTAF. He definitely needs to be moved on that.

Someone at work kept pretending he didn't understand how people were telling him he was using company equipment to send out political content and to not do it again.

What he sent out via work email was a calculator on what the typical taxpayer could expect to pay for some measure on the ballot. People kept explaining to him that what he was sharing is inherently one-sided. You are only telling people what that measure would (allegedly) cost, without explaining how that would benefit society, or individuals, or their kids. Not only that, but the supposed math on that cost and the veracity and good faith of the site itself? Who knows.

He kept saying if people want to understand how it may benefit (which he would sarcastically intone when spoken - the scare quotes were there every single time he said it) they could read the ballot measure, since it explains what it does, but people should know what it would cost them.

He couldn't understand that the dry language on the ballot is not really explaining all the potential upsides to society in general, etc.

I'm sure you could already guess that he's a conservative and voted R all the time...he was completely outraged when people asked him to provide something that explained how the measure would do good things. Suddenly, his gaslighting pretense of merely being "apolitical" and "just providing tools that give people data" fell to pieces. He had zero interest in providing any data on the upsides. Weird how that works.

Every time I think of donnie being a gigantic fucking man-baby, I think of this argument, but donnie is basically both sides of it, LOL.

"Where to now, Mr. Baby?"

Hasn't this been going on since at least 9/11?

She sounds like one of those conservatives that is just fine with lording it over others when donnie is doing something terrible to other people, but then acts all hurt when people decided to cut ties with them: "why did they have to do this? All over politics? They cannot still just get along?"

Yeah, they love to pretend to not know that nearly everything is "politics" and they act totally hurt and confused when they get any consequences for their behaviors and their choices.

JFC, "transgenderism". These people act like it's some kind of political system like conservatism.

Also, why do they spend so much time and energy on such a tiny tiny fraction of the population, when they have so many real problems to address? Everything is unaffordable and this jackass wants to talk about furries and trans?

Fuck all the way off.

Neverending war in a Middle Eastern country with seemingly no end in sight. People up in arms over AI and data centers. People upset about sky-high gas and diesel prices (as we prep for winter months). People angry about not enough housing, unsafe food supplies, and everything costing so much more than just a year ago. People upset about billionaires calling the shots in a democracy. People upset about having people tackled and disappeared. Donnie fixated on putting his tainted name on everything and building ballrooms and arches and painting a reflecting pool American flag blue. RFK jr talking about vaccine denialism and chemtrails in the face of a measles outbreak.

Tommy: we really need to focus on the....checks notes....FURRIES!

Worse, because they actually have influence and xtians are not yet a minority, even if their numbers are dwindling.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Conservatives are just so fucking weird.

I should be seeing these stickers every-fucking-where. And somehow I haven't seen any, or at least not lately. And yet, I saw that dumbasses put these up for Biden.
