What era in time do these people think R's are trying to conserve to, after or before civil rights?

whats funny to me is this guy is gay and is openly admitting to being pro life and in favor of the 2nd amendment. making him fully 100% liberal. yet he doesn't like liberals lmao. it always amazes me that people don't know the literal definition of what a liberal is.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 minutes ago

Wouldn't a liberal be pro choice ?

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 2 points 13 minutes ago* (last edited 11 minutes ago)

doing this will only push me and other people like me out!

That's the point. Next, to the camps for you.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 30 minutes ago (1 children)

Its Regression not conservatism. Quit calling it that. There is nothing wrong with a conservative outlook. The maga don't have a conservative outlook. They have a regressive one.

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

They don't know they're the same picture

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 points 36 minutes ago

Hard r voters when they realise where their party wants to go back to

[–] hark@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

"When i vote R, i didn't think" sums it up nicely.

Same sex marriage was such a good example of democracy working. MA stood alone, defiant and proud, for years. Then some of the neighboring states went "You know what? They didn't get smote with fire and brimstone. Maybe I can do that too."

Only 10 years after Massachusetts took the first step, it was growing past the recently blue states as voters came around to accepting it, and if it had another 5 years, we would've been taking would-be holdouts like Texas.

That process was cut short, but I haven't seen any polling that suggests we're not still collectively sliding that direction, so even if the supreme court reverses Obergefell v. Hodges, I don't think there's popular support for bans this time.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

But they already exist. My state constitution has a prohibition on recognition of gay marriages. These laws won't stay nullified and have to be reestablished. And much like we see with abortion they're going to next go for a nationwide ban.

im glad the republican party stuck to it's roots-punishing the slavers, racial equality, and being lead by a bisexual wrestler who flirts and jokes with karl marx in his free time. the past 160 or so years could've been pretty rough if they hadn't.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 22 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Oh hey I've met these guys. They're not well liked by their fellow gays

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

They’re not well liked.

I think that probably would've sufficed. Even the Republicans shun gay Republicans because they don't want them to exist. Gay Republicans are like the most baffling thing to me. Like a Jewish Nazi.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

There were always Jewish Nazis, or at least enablers. They're called Kapo, which is one of the most insulting words a Jew can call another. When Bergen-Belsen was liberated, the prisoners turned on the Kapos, and lynched 170 of them on the spot.

One of HitlerPig's closest and most loyal advisors is one: Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller.

Perhaps we should extend the meaning to include gay Republicans, or at least gay MAGAs.

[–] b1t@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

Gay people can be gullible and naive too. Nobody said they were perfect.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 3 hours ago

"It's not the same republican party it used to be, get over it!"

It has always been that party, idiot.

[–] LucidLyes@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They claimed to accept black people way before you, and they didn't (look at the sieg heils and white supremacy claims). They only pretended to accept gay people recently, and you thought this was serious?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 15 points 4 hours ago

Time to break out ol' trusty.

[–] Bread_and_Circuses@reddthat.com 5 points 4 hours ago

What a ridiculous level of privilege coming from this completely oblivious meal for the leopards

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Brain damage

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 7 points 5 hours ago

What a dumb ass. What world was he living in… I can tell you it wasn’t reality.

[–] whydudothatdrcrane@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 hours ago

This will be the first guy to leave Republicans for being anti-gay. Alone in a sea of sieg-heiling nazis that shaved their heads because of feminist criticism of videogames.

[–] NeuralNomad@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

Chanting 1776 wasn't a dead giveaway?!

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 12 hours ago

"But im a good Jew, I'll happily walk to my death voluntarily"

[–] atempuser23@lemmy.world 38 points 12 hours ago

Oh man that's the stuff. That man is actually opening the leopards mouth and placing his face right in.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I'm also pro 2nd Amendment, but I'm not a stupid single issue voter, democracy is more important than guns lol.

Also, when the fuck was trump ever "pro 2nd amendment"

Remember: "Take their guns first, due process later"

Why do right-wingers think this guy is "pro 2nd amendment"? 🤣

[–] socsa@piefed.social 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I am pro second amendment. I believe the constitution explicitly grants the states the right to regulate militias.

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Fun facts: The 2nd amendment was created before bullets let alone bump stocks. Kamala was a gun owner. Trump isn’t allowed to own one because he’s a convicted rapist.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 6 points 4 hours ago

It's because he's a convicted felon. The rape thing was in civil court.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Not just before bullets and rifling, but firearms were single shot muzzle loaded.

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 33 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

They really are stupid aren't they.

[–] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"I'll never leave this party that hates me"

Why?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Because Democrats are icky. They have emotions and feelings and empathy and stuff. Not like real men. /S

[–] Gluca23@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Pity they won't realize until is too late.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

Likely not even then

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 18 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Many want Trump voters to be this kind of evil villain, but if you know any, they’re dumb, arrogant, fragile assholes.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

They're disgusting Traitors, every last one of them. When this is over, we should shun every last one of them from society.

[–] MooseyMoose@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Never assume malfeasance where plain incompetence will suffice as an explanation.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Where that falls short is just how much of the population that appears to include. I’m all set to believe in plain incompetence, weaponized incompetence, stubborn incompetence …. But 50% of voters?

[–] Lyrl@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

Deep in human history, staying in good graces with our tribe was more important to survival than having beliefs be factual. We are genetically hardwired to pull whatever mental gymnastics are required to maintain membership in the tribe, because our ancestors who failed at that died before passing on their genes. It's not really stupidity or incompetence, it's an operating system property.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 29 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine having your head so far up your ass you think Trump is friendly to the gays. HO-LY SHIT! Jesus Americans are so fucking dumb...

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

USA / UK moron population is undefeated

[Scene opens on a wide, desolate savanna at dusk. The camera slowly pans over a leopard lying under a tree, its large body barely able to move. The sun is setting, casting a cold, dim light over the scene. Soft wind rustles through the dry grass. The leopard’s eyes are dull, its breathing labored.]

Narrator (soft, somber voice): In the wild, leopards are meant to stalk, to hunt, to climb. But for some, this is no longer possible. These are the leopards of the forgotten savanna... the ones who can no longer live the life they were born to lead.

[Cut to a close-up of another leopard, this one lying next to a watering hole, panting heavily. The camera lingers on its enormous, bloated body, its paws barely able to reach the ground. The leopard’s eyes seem vacant, devoid of the wild spark they once had.]

Narrator: Overfed and unable to move, these leopards have been left to a slow, painful existence. They can no longer hunt their prey, no longer climb the trees to escape danger, no longer feel the thrill of the chase. They are trapped in their own bodies.

[Cue the soft, mournful opening chords of "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. The camera slowly pans over a third leopard, sluggishly trying to rise, but its massive weight prevents it from standing. It lets out a heavy sigh, its once-strong legs buckling beneath it.]

Narrator: They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight... These leopards are slowly fading, one breath at a time. They need your help.

[Cut to a shot of a leopard staring out over the savanna. The camera lingers on its face, eyes half-closed, its expression one of quiet resignation.]

Narrator: For just $3 a day, you can provide the care and support these leopards so desperately need. A donation will help give them the chance to live a life of dignity. Help them find their way back to the wild they were meant to roam.

[The music swells as the camera fades to black, and the words "Your donation can make a difference" appear in white text on the screen.]

Narrator (whispering): Please, don’t let them suffer in silence. The time to act is now.

[The music fades out, and the SPCA logo appears in the corner, along with a toll-free number and website for donations.]
