"My opponent won't talk about all that. He'd rather lie about my record. Here's the truth. I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools, because parents know what's best for their kids. And boys should not play in girls' sports. Don't let them change the subject. I'm Marcy Kaptur, and I approve this message because I'm focused on making your life more affordable," says the ad, released today.

    Calling someone's existence an ideology is as dehumanising as it gets.

    «MAGA» «Republicans» «GOP» «nonces» «Epstein class» «Conservatives» it's extremely easy to dehumanize & generalize. But it's indeed easier to blame others for their own inhumanity. She knows she’s a ghoul, this is why she is pushing antibiology in their indoctrination centers.

    I would argue that at the very least, the terms maga, Republicans and GOP and conservatives are not dehumanizing as they call themselves that.

    Saw the best line somewhere today "Anti-trans Dems should be called 'Biological Republicans'" and that definitely seems apt here.

    Yet another data point to show that Congress should have an age limit. Because all we have are 80+ year olds deciding how the country is operating based on their backwards ass 3+ generation old ideals that they will never live to see the consequences of.

    Congress should have mandatory retirement at whatever age full social security is available. That's the age that Congress determined people should be moving out of the workforce, they should have to do the same.

    The country needs to be run by people that actually can keep up with what's going on. That can use email, for fuck's sake.

    If they were around during segregation they have no place in government. Octogenarians and older should be prohibited from voting. They get dementia and start calling people racial slurs, and in cases specific to Germany, old nans start throwing up sieg heils and HH's.

    "Should we go after the child-rapist? or the fascists who are kidnapping people? or the companies who are lying, cheating, stealing, and destroying the environment? or the people who are torturing others? or the people who want to bomb kids?

    No! We should go after the people who think that they should get to decide what happens to their own bodies!"

    I still cannot get anyone IRL to define “LGBTQ agenda”, or now “transgender ideology”. It’s simple: they don’t know. All they know is that the thing they cannot even describe is taking over schools, colleges, and universities.

    Why would I know about that stuff??

    Something a coworker said to me recently. I then told him that I cannot discuss politics with someone who debates in ignorance. He couldn’t handle that, and walked away.

    Why does education, especially higher-ed, skew liberal? Simple. They encourage critical thought. And when critical thought is applied to identity politics and domestic and foreign policy, empathy tends to creep in—that and reasoning with facts and figures. And we all know that conservatives operate on feelings and emotional arguments. These sorts of things cannot be reasoned with.

    Example:

    Fact: Crime is lower than it was in the past, as indicated by the feds.

    Feeling: Doesn’t matter, because I see stories about crime every day, especially committed by those people.

    Fact: Communities and education has become more tolerant and accepting of sexual and gender minorities, which has encouraged more kids to express themselves and has improved mental health outcomes.

    Feeling: That’s the democrats pushing their lifestyle on our kids, confusing them with anti-Christian bias.

    Fact: Vaccines have reduced the prevalence of certain diseases and infections to all time lows.

    Feeling: I don’t see anyone getting these diseases anymore, and I heard that vaccines can cause injury and autism. Why are they pushing for such aggressive schedules of shots? And why is the government mandating them in order for my kid to go to school?

    I sure do love being a political pawn. No politician has ever asked me how I feel about this, and whether my voice should be heard in regards to my treatment.
