@AverageJoe1 saidThis is what Republicans do. They trot out invalid tropes to put fear into the masses. Hitler proved that all you have to do is scare people enough and they will beg you to become their dictator.
OK, I will admit that there will be men who put on a wig and go iin there, but at least we have a start to protect our daughters. Without the law, there would be wholesale peeing and stripping, no restrictions. Government a-la Shav!!!!
So, with the law, it may be minimalized, especially in the schools where there is so much vulnerability in their growing years. When ...[text shortened]... ll have fewer incidents of the sleaze violating rights of privacy.
Im sure you and I will agree.
@Metal-Brain saidWill you shut up about this nonsense?
The ADL will defend Nazis in Ukraine. That means the ADL is Nazi salute friendly, but they will not say Musk is a Nazi and if they did that does not mean they would hold it against him.

The ADL likes Nazis now.
Stop lying!
@AverageJoe1 saidThe Azov Battalion. First the house banned weapons to them, then they lifted the ban.
I am way behind. What organization is the nazis you refer to

The ADL claims the Azov is no longer far right. As if they just moved to the left for no reason. Absurd.

@Metal-Brain saidI guess you figure Trump calling for a paramilitary force for his own use is just fake news even though we ALL saw and heard him say exactly that on TV.

And where do you think he will get members of that army?
It is no coincidence he pardoned 1500 violent crims from Jan 6, those dudes who WERE violent, attacking police with baseball bats, spears, flagpoles, mace, anything they could get their filthy hands on and now Proud boys are running fuuking parades on how great Trump it.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out WHY he did those pardons and it was for sure not because he thought they were heros.
And just in case you are going to say there were no violent crims, ALL of those charged were charges BECAUSE they were violent, not spectators out for a stroll.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.
Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, 1951
I'll add a bit of commentary here. It is not lost on me that MAGA-bots may read the excerpts from Hannah Arendt's book The Origins of Totalitarianism that I've been posting to this forum and think "Yeah, that's Democrats and the 'woke' to a tee!" But to this I say: "Not so fast."
History teaches that, time and again, only totalitarians and fascists go to war with established science. That is the ultimate litmus test in determining who is truly fascist to the core. Put aside social and political attitudes, with all their shades of gray, and look to who denies climate change, or the efficacy of vaccines, or the established harms of environmental pollutants, and so on. Only totalitarians, of whom fascists are a subspecies, contest established scientific facts, and hold esteemed experts in their fields—and the educated class in general—in utter contempt.
The educated are far more likely to see through the lies of totalitarian (read: Republican) propaganda, and so, upon gaining power, one of the first things a fascist must do in the course of fabricating an alternate reality in which plans for unleashing hair-raising horrors against humanity can safely incubate is to purge experts from all government agencies, and attack academia and the internal affairs of universities and other institutions of learning. This is now underway in the US.

@spruce112358 saidDems are the ones obsessed with weird gay trans bi lesbian puppy dog masks and freak sex.
As America begins its Nazi period with no President (only a ‘pretender’ ), it is well to consider what life is going to be like and how to deal with the changes. 😆
Lesson #1: Nazis are obsessed with gay/trans.
No one knows why,
It's part of their National Platform.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidActually, no. Wrong on all counts. The Democrats generally advocate for a "live and let live" approach to a wide diversity of lifestyles, and it is Republicans who are too weak in mind and body to just deal with it and mind their own fucking business. It is Republicans who just have to scratch the itch that tells them that, damn it, someone out there is doing the nasty with someone of the same sex in something other than the missionary position. That is what is called "obsession."

Sorry about all this reality stuff. Freak sex happens, and it clearly GRINDS your little gears like fingernails on a chalkboard—zzzkkrrrzzzkk—that it is happening, and maybe even next door. Obsession! Maybe get a therapist to help you?
YOU DON'T GET TO DICTATE EVERYONE'S SEX LIFE, YOU OBSESSIVE FREAK!

Dems want to guarantee that people can do as they please as long as they don't harm, impose on, or place others at risk without they consent.
Dems are far closer to the libertarian ideal than Repubs.
@spruce112358 saidTrump and the Republican party isn't banning gay/trans, and it has NOTHING against a person's sexual preference. That's just a tard claim of the left.

The left always has to lie, exaggerate, and make up stories in order to claim some sort of moral high ground while killing babies and destroying the careers of people that disagree with them.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidIf self-styled "Christians" get to flaunt their hocus-pocus in public, then gay/trans folks should have the right to live in the sunshine as well. That's how a democratic civil society works. You don't get to dictate that those whom you consider "freaks" must go back into the closet and lock the door. No way. So man up, sweet summer child, because while this little Nazi intermezzo afflicting the nation may be music to your ears, history teaches that it ain't gonna last.
