they'll what now?
Yeah, I gotta get the fuck out of here.
It literally gets worse here every day.
I have family in titusville and lets jst say the memes ring true, unhinged, completely detached from reality.
I can't imagine living with as much insecurity as conservatives face every day
It has to be a nightmare. Maybe that's why they so mad all the time at the sightest breeze of sanity
When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.

Even if you don't fall into that category, one of the main gotchas of the church is to use one of your most basic biological programmings and tell you it's a sin. The church teaches that even thinking lustfully about someone is a sin. They tell you that the urge to reproduce is sinful and only they have the cure.
Ahhh... The old "replace factual history with 'belief-ism'" tactic. What's the saying? "Those who don't read history are doomed to repeat it"
It feels like 1984, unironically.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot.
Ok, so I know "retarded" is an offensive and outdated term, but I propose we redefine it as "being ignorant, knowing that you are, and stubbornly refusing to make any attempt to fix it".
Used in a sentence: Ron DeSantis is retarded.
Actively working to retard the progress of humanity as a whole, so maybe..retarder?
Oh that's good. He's like a wet blanket for the fire of progress. That's also what I hear his wife says about him in bed. 🔥🔥
I thought that was already defined as, "Republican".
Oh, that's the R word I was thinking of. Duh. Silly me.
Yes we can do it just like South Park did with the word fag.
People get mad but it's true. When I get mad I do sometimes call a driver a fag, and the idea of a gay person is nowhere near my thoughts when calling the dumbass driver a fag.
No, this is not cool. Louis C.K. and South Park were wrong, actually. There are a couple of things wrong with it.
If you're yelling fag at a straight person, nobody thinks you're yelling "Hey straight guy, you literally have sex with men!" because that wouldn't make any sense. What you're yelling is "You are something bad. You know, like gay people are bad." That's why you never hear anyone say, "Hey you cut me off, supermodel!" or "You spilled your drink on me, fireman!" because it's not a random word after that comma, it's an insult. So, yelling fag at people who aren't (necessarily) gay is of course not being homophobic...to the straight person you're yelling at. It's being homophobic to the gay people who may or may not have heard it.
Second, the whole premise that you can use slurs and it is up to the target of the slur to figure out if you mean it in the hateful way or the "fun" way is dumb. That's not how the world works. You can't go up to a guy in a bar and say, "Your girlfriend is ugly and your mom's a slut" and then get mad when they take it as an insult. It is not other people's job to look into your soul and realize that when you're saying something insulting that you don't mean it that way. I'm sure you think "it's just words", but you probably don't know what it's like to be on a public bus and hear murmuring of "removed" from the seat behind you. Maybe you're a tough guy and wouldn't have worried about it, but I had a long thought about what my plan would be if this guy attacked me for being gay. He didn't, but that fear was still real.
If it makes you feel any better, this is not something that only straight people have to abide by. There's a great Dead Milkmen song called "Instant Club Hit" that I love. It's a funny song from the 80s that makes fun of goth culture, but there's a part where it says "art fag" over and over again. Now I know those guys are cool. When I saw them live in Portland they asked people to donate to a group called Safe Pride PDX. One of the members is gay. Anyway, I scolded my husband once for putting that song on the jukebox at a bar. Not because I think the song is really homophobic, but because some gay guy who doesn't know this band could be in the bar and all of sudden realize "Oh fuck, the song playing in this bar is saying fag over and over again!" and get nervous that they aren't safe. So we don't play that song on the jukebox anymore. And you can think of another thing to yell at people who cut you off in traffic.
Yeah, I'm not really into that. I'm also not actually advocating for the use of that word. It was more just an elaborate set up for a joke to beat up on a truly vile person for being such unconscionable garbage, you know?
Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let's make him "benefit". /s
Bring back? Slavery isn't gone. It's still allowed in the prison system.
They did. It's called the 13th Amendment.
I think people misunderstand the 13th as simply ending slavey, not so. There is a very very large EXCEPT in there and it becomes clear why 🚔 🚓 👮♂️ 🚨 🚔 🚓 👮♀️ 🚨 🚔 they have so many problems because of law enforcement
I mean, has anyone really crunched the numbers on if that's possible? If not I say we look into it maybe.
Nature has you covered.
Nature will have Florida covered.
When you realize that Florida man can and does run for office 😵💫
Dear all those people that made this happen.
Fuck you.
Don't worry, they're the first state that'll be underwater from climate change and simultaneously one of the biggest deniers of it. No sawing required.
Unfortunately, I think at least half of them are just smart enough to migrate before that happens.
After George W. Bush was selected by the Supreme Court
Brooks Brothers was the proto-Proud Boys.
Government bodies selecting election winners is all the rage these days
You sawed off too little keep going with Alabama and Missouri.
Yeah, if they do that they should secede from the... wait.
If they try that again, can we just let them go? We can add Puerto Rico to keep the even 50.
Thats fucked
Can someone share a link so I can read more about this?
White people is scary!
yikes
Yeah, secession. That's the answer, you were taught well. Very funny. /s
