Of course it will. Then once they have all the trans people rounded up they’ll target the gays, then the blacks, the mexicans, and so on and so forth until everyone’s in camps that isn’t white.
Republican supporters won’t wake up to this until they start coming after the stupid and obese.
Working backwards, we could reasonably expect Italian, Irish, and Polish people. Discrimination really isn't about the color of your skin if history is anything to go off of.
they'll never target the stupid, those are the people who will support them no matter what. They're already trying to demonize intelligence and education.
the bar for what counts as stupid enough will continue to lower, though.
This IS Biden. He's always been a pretty bad human person. The only silver lining is that he's been better than most recently. He's a center-right politician just like most Democrats.
This is actually a fantastic example of typical politics, but not in the way you're imagining. It's a classic poison pill. Write a bill with something good (protecting children's privacy online, which I think we'd all agree is good) and then put something unpalatable into it (transphobia and homophobia).
Someone votes for it, "Why do you hate LGBT people?" Someone votes against it, "Why don't you want children to have stronger privacy laws on the Internet?"
It's exhausting and a lose-lose. That said, I prefer if they don't vote for it and take heat for "being anti privacy". You don't negotiate with people's rights.
People suggest he supports this bill which is not strictly accurate (the bill hasn't even hit a full vote by either chamber of the legislative branch).
Here's where support is indicated for a bill, and Republicans are clearly doing what they always do and making a bill a race to the worst possible bill.
We’ve invested $1 billion to help schools hire, train — and train 14,000 new mental health counselors in schools across the country. And we’re taking steps to address the harm of social media is doing to our young people. And it is doing harm. (Applause.)
We’ve got to hold — we’ve got to hold these platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on — on our children for profit.
Later this week, senators will debate legislation to protect kids’ privacy online, which I’ve been calling for for two years. It matters. Pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it, pass it. (Laughter.)
I really mean it. Think about it. Do you ever get a chance to look at what your kids are looking at online?
Folks, the actions we’re announcing today represent a real step forward to help millions of people get mental health care they need and their insurance should be — and — and the insurance should be provided — should be provided. But there’s still so much more to do.
FWIW I wouldn't support any bill that "holds big tech accountable" for users using technology, because I think that is stupid. Still, suggesting Biden supports this specific version of a bill is beyond a stretch.
I mean, at this stage you can tell that by the name.
These deplorables love children so much that they don’t even bat an eye at using child sexual abuse as a political tool while simultaneously turning a blind eye to 300,000 children raped by clergy.
Or children starving because they have to pay for shitty food at school, or children starving and having a bad life because their parents can't afford to pay for more even if they already work, or children at orphanages...
Yeah, much like with forbidding abortion (but then never caring whether the no longer-aborted child will have a proper home to live), children are just a political tool.
She wants to confine children like I was to the years of confusion and alienation I had to go through. That’s cruel. I should not have had to feel so alone and nobody else should either.
It is more than just cruel. It is abusive and genocidal. LGBT youth will die because of this law and the countless others being passed in certain states.
Yeah the 1st amendment has gone out the window here. (on the other hand, why are they pushing the lgtbtq movement on kids. Kids aren't smart at all and won't understand the deeper meaning.....)
This is a classic GOP move. Name a bill something like "Free Americans for Internet Freedom Act" that prevents net neutrality and idiots love the name and support it. Name a bill something like "Kids Online Safety Act" as a way to censor and control information, and idiots love the name and support it
Which only makes sense, trans are the most sus even within the LGBT. Its a broad category of mostly nonsense identities or simply just people unable to cope with how they are born and lamenting over it and passing on that stupidity to children. There are trans who act and blend like any other human being but most are just plain psychological disaster. The unnatural spike in identity disorder proves it.
Edit: Heh, not a single reply. Just downvote for the sake of it cuz I said nothing wrong scientifically and statistically.
Ooooo totally because I (straight) was totally influenced by my gay uncle and other gay stuff I’ve seen online 🙄
While we’re at it we should get rid of cartoons because kids shouldn’t see stuff like someone slowly falling with an umbrella and trying it in real life since they’re influenced.
Just because someone is exposed to something at a young age doesn’t mean they’ll end up making decisions.
It is absolutely indoctrination. My youth group pastor spent many years indoctrinating us college-bound youth against the "world." Evolution, climate change, premarital sex ("ladies, do you want to be like a used piece of gum?"), abortion ("ladies, abortion will make you kill yourself"), porn ("ladies, watching porn will make you unable to ever have an orgasm"), getting pregnant ("Tina is now going to be shamed in front of all of us, let us listen to her impregnated self tearfully apologize to us for having premarital sex and getting all used up"). Fuckers.
So all straight and cis content should be banned too, right, or is it only "degenerate" (to use the word the nazis used) content that should be influencing them?
(straight cis white man speaking. I don't have a horse in this race, but I'm sure not going to let people act like they have the moral high ground without them investigating their beliefs themselves.)
Yall said the same thing about some of us being gay. Turns out when used all of the same talking points back then, we were still gay. I was influenced to not be gay, because gay people are disgusting pedophiles who worship Satan, and I ended up gay despite not being a pedophile or worshiping Satan.
First of all, kids will question their gender and sexuality whether you like it or not - internet or no internet. Secondly, the Internet is a safe haven for lgbtq+ kids and taking away those supportive communities is going to be nothing but harmful. What evidence do you have that exposure to lgbtq+ communities "corrupts" children? I'm guessing none because it just doesn't. Be better.
