This reminds me of the Biden Administration, who was trying desperately to control immigration, and declaring that they did NOT support open borders, while the entire time, MAGAs were screaming "BIDEN HAS OPEN BORDERS! THEY'RE LETTING EVERYBODY IN!" every chance they got.

If people below our southern borders got the idea that they were welcome to come to America, it wasn't the Biden Administration that invited them, it was MAGA. Nobody was sending the message that undocumented immigrants were welcome in America more strongly than MAGA.

The other day, elementary age kids received pamphlets in the mail explaining all about being trans, thinking it would turn people against the trans community. It probably will, but it also taught a lot of kids how to hide being trans from your conservative parents, and that pamphlet was almost certainly a MAGA October Campaign Dirty Trick. Now we also know that it was almost certainly conceived, created, and paid for by Elon Musk. Of course it is, it smells just like him.

That poor Leopard is going to die of over consumption.

Imagine being afraid of talking with your kids about that topic. What a bitch.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 4 minutes ago

If you never mention it to them, raise them in the church, home school them, make sure they marry some other homeschooler, keep them working in the family grift, you can raise them so they never hear about things like Trans and Gay and Liberal and Socialist, and they'll create a better Christian America in the future.

Why talk when you can beat the gay out of them preemptively?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 27 points 17 hours ago

Correct-- If republicans stopped stripping them of their rights and loudly demanding to see the genitals of every highschooler, there would be basically no problems. It's called manufactured outrage, and it's how They(tm) control the masses.

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 101 points 21 hours ago

Transgender is “wrong” and “immoral” yet all these republicans are crooks, fraudster, adulterers, hidden closeted gays, and support and back the worlds largest pedophile on the planet with the nuclear codes.

But yeah, letting a man grow boobs is the problem here.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 62 points 21 hours ago

Men should be allowed to grow boobs if they want.

But the point of being a trans woman is that you're not a man.

[-] deadbeef79000 12 points 14 hours ago

I read it charitably as someone born with a male body wanting grow boobs...

But sometimes a pithier statement, though technically less correct, does more work.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 hours ago

I think there should be more mental space carved out for men with boobs, I dated a big dude with a sumo type body and the contrast between the muscly arms and legs and the soft moobs, mmmmm

[-] Today@lemmy.world 35 points 21 hours ago

None of that matters to a kid. To them it's just a person being a person, wearing person clothes, and doing person things.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 15 points 18 hours ago

I can excuse wanting to fuck children...but I draw the line at giving them puberty blockers. /s

[-] moondoggie@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Don’t forget that Republicans like Rafael Cruz don’t have to use the name on their birth certificate, or that most Republican politicians have had gender affirming care like hair plugs and testosterone.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 19 hours ago

Because when Republicans are "crooks" they are hurting the right people. So it makes it okay.

Conservatism has always been about oppression. It's not about small government or even protecting the kids.

It's oppression.

[-] Heikki2@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago

I live in TX. The Telerico ads are a mix of how shitty ken paxton is as a person and his policies. All the Paxton ads are Trans gender is a huge problem (bc i can't stop masterbating to the porn).

Just saw another add where he has his daughter stumping for him against Trans people. Something I learned from it... the weird eye is hereditary

[-] yaroto98@lemmy.world 29 points 20 hours ago

Litterally why I started to pay for Youtube Premium last election cycle. "Daddy why does want to kill babies?"

Started playing music over bluetoon in the car to avoid the same ads on the radio.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago

Why not just use an ad blocker or third party program?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

That was my solution to constant ads attacking my rights right about then. I was willing to watch the occasional ad to fund the service. They ramped up the ads and advertised hate against me so all bets were off

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 31 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

It took lots of effort to get rid of them, but I see almost no ads anymore. Not on the internet, not YouTube on my phone or in my TV shows or when I’m listening to music. I’m practically allergic to them. Now when I catch an ad that made it past me, it gets a physical reaction from me from just how FUCKING LOUD everything is all the time. And not just volume, but audio compression, colors, camera angles, costumes, set pieces, all of it. It’s a goddamn assault. They all just want their little piece of your time.

Obligatory Bansky quotePeople are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

More like Based-sy. Holy shit that's a good quote.

[-] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 11 points 16 hours ago

It's why I allow very little screen time for my kids. I can't control the fucking ads. They are a part of the brain rot.

[-] RidgeDweller@sh.itjust.works 8 points 14 hours ago

I think limiting screen time is great, tablet babies weird me out. But if/when the time comes where they need to be online more, consider helping them set up an adblocker on everything they use. Everyone hates ads including kids. They'd probably think you're awesome for it.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 24 points 19 hours ago

Litterally why I started to pay for Youtube Premium last election cycle.

Dude, you can get ad-free youtube just by using a browser with a decent adblocker. For free. Stop forking money over to Google.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago

I switched to NewPipe as my YouTube client, to the same effect

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[-] zekas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Is lemmy still jerking itself off over not being reddit yet perpetuating many of its tendencies? I guess I should not be surprised. Same regret, different place

[-] kingofras@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Those were the easy times. One boogyman. Here, in addition to us being decentralised, so is spez.

[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 19 points 20 hours ago

Parenting comes with so many teachable moments. This is just another one.

You've got many more tough conversations in your future. Unless you suddenly don't have a kid.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Even then "didn't you used to have a kid/more kids" has to be a really tough conversation. Or at least I assume so, the father that doesn't speak to me would be the one to know for sure

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 21 points 21 hours ago

He’s so close to getting it. Yet so far away.

[-] adj16@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I was gonna say, this is a leopardsatemyface and selfawarewolves crossover episode!

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

It's always so painful when you see them in reach of the finish line but then they purposely won't cross it.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago

“This can’t be the real finish line! There must be a different, better, more genuine line somewhere nearby. I just need to look hard enough!”

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 21 hours ago

It’s almost like a progressive wrote this, in order to change minds in that sub. But I don’t think so. Which makes this super ironic.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

I sometimes wonder if accounts like The Patriotic Blonde aren't out to subvert conservatives. It's exactly how I would do it!
