I used to live upstairs from a couple with DV issues.

The victim was the 6’+ 200lb+ man in his 20s. The offender was a smaller woman. I felt so sorry for that guy. I’m sure people were reluctant to take him seriously, but she was unhinged when angry. Throwing pots and pans at him, pulling knives, etc…

Yeah, headline should have said care for gender dysphoria. Viagra is gender affirming care too…

You’re missing the fucking point. Nobody is disputing that there might have been assault. Congratulations on winning an argument that you were having with your imagination

This thinking is a result of thinking that there is a simple political spectrum. There isn’t… Most voters are far too simple minded for voting that way. They vote for the other party when they are unhappy. That’s it. That’s all the decision making they need. They voted for Trump in 16 because they didn’t like the status quo (What simple working person is happy with the rich getting richer and the rest of us getting nothing but rising housing costs?). They voted for Biden in 20 because he wasn’t Trump and Trump really fucked up his time in the white house. Then they voted for Trump again because Biden didn’t change things.

The Democratic party can appeal to a lot more voters by abandoning a status quo that no longer serves the masses. There is a reason there were people who voted for Trump and AOC on the same ballot. They are people who are upset by the status quo and want change, even if that change is burning it all down and starting over.

We should give them change, because if we don’t, they will vote for change from the fascists.

There are too many of them for us to kill them all. We simply can’t kill 1/3 of the country… We have to find a way to build a society with most of the people who voted for Trump still being in it.

Now, for the ultramaga, proud boy types… I don’t hold back on solutions to the problems presented by that smaller population.

It’s always sad/funny to me that they are ok with forcing the bad parts of their faith on us via the government, but reject the good parts that most non theists would support

This is what happens in societies that have increasing income inequality.

Why should workers feel compelled to bust their asses when it benefits their bosses, but not themselves?

I don’t know how they claim that would work. But it’s important to note that only telemessage makes that claim, not signal.

I’m a white dude, and this reads like you’re just pissy, but I’m open to the idea I might be wrong or blinded due to my privilege.

Please explain what you’re getting at? If I’m in the wrong about this, I would love to know and become better.

It does make sense. But only if you accept certain facts about the morality of the Israeli administration.

I agree, but I’ll settle for just about anything that gets him out of the oval office

Yeah, but he won’t be starting with those white church goers…

They come pretty late in the poem

Citizens commit crimes at a higher rate than immigrants. Both legal and illegal.

It’s worth noting that there used to be multiple .gov sites hosting information about this, but they are all dead links now.

Fuck this administration and anyone who thinks what’s happening is remotely ok.

I travel with one of these. It’s much better than not having one, but the one bolted to my toilet works much better

It’s not copying fascism if you keep the rhetoric honest.

The distinguishing factor is truth

You’re wrong about where the most rural district east of the mississippi is.

I live less than 75 miles from Canada, and my local lake is mostly melted, but I still have a lot of snow on the ground in the woods around my house, so my seedlings won’t be going out until late May either.

Please keep telling me about my life though.

Should I call you a gatekeeping asshole, or my neighbor, bub?

Good for you.

The fact that I’m in a district that is among the most rural in the US and I’m still a “wannabe” tells me that there aren’t many places left like where you are in the country. Don’t act like you have any significant numbers when you describe people who live like you. You’re not representative.

Either that or your exaggerating. Which I’ve noticed people around me doing a lot. Hell, you might not live that far away based on what you described. You talk about where you live like my neighbors do.

You’re acting like this is a pause and things will go back to normal.

I think that’s unrealistically optimistic

I live in the most rural congressional district East of the Mississippi. I’m posting from my Wi-Fi that runs off a 5g while I’m laying in bed in my off grid house that’s half a mile from the nearest neighbor.

My fridge is full of tofu.

Even Walmart has tofu now.

Quit lying to people about what it’s like here.

Thanks!
