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

    What a useful fucking idiot of a dumpster fire. You’re gay and vote for the guy who wants you to lose rights? Either you’re a complete fucking idiot, or you’re a psychopath who’s also a complete fucking idiot.

    So many “gays” were pro trump over at askgaybros. Now they post in gay conservative and gaslight each other.

      It’s a tale as old as time. They don’t see themselves as the ‘bad’ gays or Jews or whatever that their leaders and other Republicans/Torys/Religions etc hate. They think they’ll be spared because they’re special. All the way to the camps they believe this.

    When I was younger, I thought conservativism was just for people who are like “literally don’t change anything, keep everything like how it is” I have realized that this is not true, it’s all about regressing, they’re all regressionists.

    This fucktard doesn’t realize that they’re only allowing him to be a part of the club because for now, he’s useful to them, perhaps influencing right leaning minorities and queers to join in and help their own slaughter.

    These guys are no different from the Jews for Hitler party

    Conservatism has become quite the unfitting term. Retrogressivism might be more suitable.

    These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

    1.Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

    2.The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

    3.A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses

    4.Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

    5.A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

          I don’t think writing lists & punctuation in the conventional way is expecting too much. No spaces after periods? Crazy.

            That’s the problem, isn’t it: whose convention? It never works in the way I conventionally do ot, and takes way too much troubleshooting to make it work. I also have no idea how to do formatting other than lists so would have to look it up. There’s a reason most posts on Lemmy are unformatted, it’s too much effort to get it to work.

            Before you say that’s a me problem: the list conventions I write with work fine everywhere else. Plus I haven’t had to look up formatting syntax since LaTEX

    What’s interesting is that Democratic and Republican voters look at these two parties and somehow, after the last 40 years of wealth transferring upward, manage not to notice the billionaires behind both of them.

    No one cares about your unique social characteristics or what demographics you fall into. They care about finding that sweet spot where you will work yourself to death but not come up behind them on a NYC street and communicate your displeasure with a bullet.

    You are an ant underneath their boot.

    White gay man doesn’t believe he’s part of the LGBTQ+ community anymore because he sees people like him on TV… He’s just now realizing that his buddies would rather not see people like him on TV.

    Notice how the author justifies himself. He’s pro-life, 2nd, ect…

    This screams “I’m one of the good ones”, and implies that he has internalized homophobia. Anyway, it’s some next level “pick me” shit.

    Talking to Republican acquaintances who have lost their jobs to musk, they all say similar ideas. “I’m team Republican, so I voted R. Couldn’t let the Ds win. They are the like our division rivals”. Its literally a game to them, and election day is their Superbowl.

        Most hilarious example of this is Alex Jones, who now has everything he screamed for for 30+ years and now doesnt know what to do with his show. He is now forced to support every idea that he preached was reprehensible all that time.

      the greatest con ever played on the public was convincing tens of millions of Americans that their civil rights were a game to them. Normalizing an attitude of “we might loose, but they won’t win either”.

        Us vs Them isn’t red vs blue, it’s the rich donors vs their productive workers. The vast majority of Republicans and Democrats are actually on the same “side.”

        Developing class consciousness is one of the few ways out of this mess.

    Education is really lacking. LGBT+ Republicans are some of the stupidest, most selfish, and downright deplorable people in conservative circles. They post these goofy ass posts like this as if they should be immune from the issues everyone else in our community is fighting to protect. “New” Conservative movement my ass that would defeat the point of conservatives.

    Acting like these people aren’t trying to destroy the efforts of progressives from the last 50+ years because that is the “Great” in MAGA would be hilarious if it wasn’t pathetic. I get that these people are emotional and political masochists but they need to take it home.
