I disagree. While I will never forgive those voters, I don’t think most of them are lost causes. They’ve been manipulated by the largest, most well-funded misinformation and propaganda campaign ever waged against the American people.
Exercising even the smallest amount of critical thinking skills protects oneself against most of it, but no one is completely immune to misinformation.
Yeah, and now that Musk is unpopular with conservatives, Trump will still use Musk to buy elections but we just won’t hear about it (if they’re smart).
Your conservative coworker should be tarred and feathered in the town square while being made to watch fact-based news for a change.
Edit: maybe not tar, as I now remember from school how that was exceptionally torturous and cruel. Super glue sounds like a good replacement.
Maybe he doesn’t know because he refuses to listen to anyone who criticizes him, banning them on Twitter and calling them paid actors in public events.
Musk is plenty awful for many valid reasons; no need to body shame people for having a small penis.
There’s nothing wrong with trans children getting gender-affirming surgery either, as long as it is under the supervision of a doctor and follows current WPATH guidelines.
Gender-affirming surgeries are the opposite of mutilation.

Them: Trans people are icky. Kill them all.
That’s the whole thing. It doesn’t matter that trans people aren’t mentioned in the bible. It doesn’t matter that the medical science supports gender-affirming and transition-related care. It doesn’t matter that trans people almost never have an actual advantage in sports. It doesn’t matter that being trans is not a ‘social contagion’. It doesn’t matter that trans people aren’t hurting anyone.
They want to eliminate all trans people. A Montana republican just put up a bill to ban adult trans medical care. That’s trans genocide. Trump banning trans youth care nation-wide is trans genocide.
Republicans are fucking Nazis. Straight up.
This might work if all major news networks and social media weren’t propaganda machines of the maga regime. The administration will blame immigrants or democrats or trans people for every hardship that republican voters experience.
As is tradition.
If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn’t have Trump as president.
I encourage you to take a college course from a non-religious university that covers any of the above subjects.
We have lost our rights, had our rights restricted, or have had our rights routinely violated on the following issues:
bodily autonomy – abortion
unreasonable search and seizure – the federal government (FBI, NSA) digitally track everyone. Cops can legally take your money and property without cause or due process. Cops selectively enforce laws. State attorneys general selectively enforce laws. The TSA (airport security) is arguably unconstitutional.
torture and indefinitely imprisoning people without charging them with a crime.
trans people’s right to bodily autonomy, freedom of liberty, equal rights, equal access to healthcare, etc. Florida is forcibly putting trans inmates in with inmates of the opposite-gender and forcing trans people into conversion therapy. Trans people are facing widespread persecution and legislative genocide, depending on the US state. States are trying to make being trans a crime by calling them “sexually obscene”. I fully expect the federal government will try to do the same, as it’s part of the Project 2025 playbook.
our court system is overall corrupt and corrupt judges do not rule based on facts, science, what the law says, what is morally right, or what is best for the people.
the right to a speedy trial is being violated. The right to have a public defender adequately represent you when accused of a crime is being abused and violated.
slave labor is allowed and legal in this country. Prison inmates are allowed daily temporary release to work for private companies but then the prisons and government steal most of their earnings.
our human right to a clean environment is being violated. Our water, air, and land is being polluted with a lack of regulation and oversight.
rights of immigrants, asylum seekers, and others is routinely violated and now, once again, millions of people are being threatened with deportation.
black people have never had equal rights in this country. I can’t even begin to list the extent of their oppression here. Racism is on the rise politically now too.
I could keep listing points for hours, if not days.
Come on, that’s not fair. We get some things:
My neighbor got robbed when she posted about being away on holiday. What an experience!
And there was that time that some users had private messages made public due to a security glitch. I’m sure that ended more than a few relationships!
We get mass surveillance – that’s a pretty good one, yeah?.. No?
Hate.
