Listen, existential threats are important and all, but there's a trans kid who wants to play soccer, and I vaguely remember something about a tan suit, so... I think I'll just sit this one out - surely my countrymen can be trusted to make the right decision!

Gotta have standards, ya know?

    The GOP brand is practically solid gold. No matter how shitty their members keep being, the average American voter will still see the party as reasonable and worthy of power. Massachusetts is the bluest of blue states but ask a neolib about a past republican government and they will talk about them like they were the only voice of reason. Complete disregard for the fact all of them left beind a fucking mess in lock step with their parties destructive principles and policy.

    Hard not to contrast it against today's shit show. Even Bush seems reasonable when you hold him against Trump. People are literally getting nostalgic for less bad. Still bad, just less bad.

    Can you find ANYONE that has those arguments for this discussion?

    Otherwise, thanks for the strawmen I guess

    ...strawman? Anti-trans bigotry is like half the GOP's modern platform. I'm not putting words in their mouth, they're broadcasting it at every opportunity.

    There are no disgusting MAGA pedophile Nazis in here making the argument. That's the strawman point I am making.

    I will NEVER associate with MAGA or COLLABORATORS.

    That's not what strawman is... regardless, I came here to mock the MAGA dipshits - I didn't check the comments first to see if any were trying to actively engage. Nor will I, as I'm in full agreement with you on being unwilling to associate with those traitors.
