Sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear.

The Heritage Society has thought this through – I meant rank and file republicans haven’t. Thus my original comment about people going Pikachu face when this shit happens when it was all spelt out in Project 2025.

It’s infuriating that most people had no idea what they were voting for, but that’s true. It’s also true that many would still deny it whilst ruffling the ashes of their neighbours from their hair. And they won’t acknowledge it in the future, either.

e: sorry, my fault; rereading, I see I switched between ‘they’ meaning the leadership vs the majority of constituents mid-sentence.

e2: this is exactly why citizens in towns near the Nazi’s death camps were made to walk through and look at what they’d done, by the way. People refuse to reckon with their decisions unless made to look.

To be fair, though, popular myths are what led us here.

Ancient Aliens is the perfect gateway to anti-science, which gave us figures like RFK Jr who now has the power to fuck all the progress we’ve made in the hundreds of years since vaccines.

Creationism is now being taught in public schools, which undermines centuries of science. Public science is being dismantled, all for their rapture fantasies.

They’re not hiding climate science because they disagree, but because they think it’s a sign of the apocalypse and a good thing, so they don’t want people to fight it.

They’ve said this out loud, many times. It’s all on video. Again, Pikachu face.

I don’t think they’re thinking it through like this. Yeah, that will likely happen, but I doubt this is an end goal they have. They don’t think things through like that. They’re reactionary, and trans people make them feel things they don’t want to feel, because Jesus watches them touch themselves. It’s really that simple.

The genocide is on the horizon, but most of them don’t know that – and won’t know it for decades afterwards. That’s why this is so dangerous.

e: look at the porn they watch then tell me this isn’t true. They think these are fetishes, not identities, because they’re devoid of empathy. It’s horrible, but if you understand this, their actions, however reprehensible, make sense.

I feel like nobody read Project 2025. Everyone seems all Pikachu face lately, when they’ve not only told us all this, but blatantly captured all the levers of power.

What did you expect they’d do?

Spoiler: VPNs will be outlawed soon.

I’m tired of the future being destroyed by capitalists/christian nationalists. That’s been happening for hundreds and thousands of years, every time they gain power, no matter where or when. Republicans are relatively new to this game.

I’m also tired of society having to relearn this lesson at great loss of life and suffering, over and over.

We’re smarter than this, and we far outnumber them.

‘They’ say that because turnout for primaries is always abysmal, so candidates who make it to generals are usually centrist.

If progressives actually voted in primaries, they’d have the options they want in generals. But usually, the vast majority who vote in primaries are older, more moderate voters.

Progressive candidates exist, but if you want them, you can’t just vote every 4 years.

Honestly, primaries are all that matter.

If progressives don’t win the primaries, all we have to vote for are centrists and fascists, which means more fascism.

Please, please vote in primaries and get everyone you know to vote in the primaries, too.

There are leftists trying to gain a foothold in the Democrat party, and some are succeeding (see the latest New York mayoral primary).

Many people ignore primaries, though. You know who does vote in primaries? Older more moderate voters. So progressives tend to lose primaries, then the people who didn’t bother with the primaries complain there aren’t progressive enough candidates in the main elections, so they don’t vote.

If you want more leftist candidates (within the FPTP system), support progressive candidates and show up to the primaries.

Okay, but you said:

its mostly all Porn that are boedering on CSAM, or SA that have been blocked when i looked on the list.

What’s all porn, csam, or sa?

You replied this to my beehaw news community recommendation, and someone saying behaw is blocked from .world. Are you saying beehaw is those things? I’m very confused now.

Right, but is beehaw sketchy?

I’m not up on instances drama.

Careful…
