They way I explain it is this. Trump’s first presidency, the dog caught the car. No one expected, least of all the dog. They had no plan, no idea what to do with what they had.

This time around, they were ready for the impossible, ready to break as much shit as possible, and they have the knowledge of what happened in the first term to give them context on what worked and what didn’t.

You got a problem with trans people? No? Then it wasn’t talking about you. Christ, is that hard to understand?

When a group of people makes an “us vs them” against a minority, it forces the minority to use that language back. As a cishet person, your identity is being used as a weapon to harm trans people regardless if you’re doing anything. Ignorance of the minorities plight can be weaponized to do more harm and that ignorance can be shielded through appeals to normalcy and tradition.

When you respond to that language with “not all cishet people” you signal that your support is contingent on you not losing anything (your ignorance is one of the things you can lose). Which can and will be used to weaponize more harm against the minority group.

Yeah, the only one of these I’ve seen has been removed from the net. It was a YouTube channel called pogobat, namely a time period called “Dan Brown 3.0”. He gave his life to the YouTube comment section and you could watch in real time as it ripped his life to shreds.

As my brother can attest to, there are women take anyone who passes as a man as a threat in the women’s restroom and will go get people to do something. Poor dude was just trying to get tampons.

I mean, that sounds like a really nice social event. I assume that whatever a munch is doesn’t jive with flourishing introverts.

Don’t call them a punk. I know punks, punks are good people. They’re a little shit

I fucking hate when you gotta pilot the Jaeger on your own. I don’t remember how necks work.

… oh, I turned off the launcher in steam. I was very confused on the GTA comment

Crazily enough, living frugally is also a slippery slope to owning analog clocks.

…I need a Stormlight community to be active here on Lemmy, the preview chapters are too much and my fiancee is waiting for the book release.
