yeah that's not the racism vote, that's the SEXISM vote. that's the group that voted for Obama in 2012 not because they actually liked Obama, but because they utterly despised Sarah Palin as VP. not because of the things she said or believed in, just because they're the "women don't belong in politics" crowd. because outside of that, there is absolutely nothing consistent about the beliefs of Obama-Trump voters. Trump literally campaigned as Obama's opposite!
there were Jewish Nazis too, you're not making the point you think you're making.
again I must express my frustration with defining "working CLASS" by EDUCATION level. your economic CLASS is not determined by how many years you spent in college. it is determined by how much MONEY YOU MAKE. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, all billionaires, no college degrees. you wouldn't call them working class, would you?
probably because it doesn't make a goddamn bit of sense, outside of stupidity and internalized racism. the real story is how the Uncle Ruckuses and Clayton Bigsbys are increasing in number.
you've gotta be an extra-special breed of self-hating idiot to wear a hentai shirt with the face of a man who openly hates you
THAT'S CALLED RACISM
or bigotry, more generally. or the stupidity of the uneducated, whom Trump has explicitly said he loves. gee I wonder why he likes stupid people so much?
(as an aside, how is trade restriction a LEFT-wing idea? righties only like free trade for the rock-bottom slave-labor wages, I don't see anybody on the left calling for tariffs and trade restrictions because that's fucking STUPID)
you can't say that they're frustrated with "political correctness" and immigration and "modern liberalism" in one breath, and "not all hateful and ignorant" in the next. and you especially can't define a CLASS by their EDUCATION and then say the uneducated ones aren't ignorant. words have meanings, and the dictionary does not fucking work that way.
Reddit's journey FROM toxic cesspool?! Reddit is literally Checkpoint 1 on the Toxic Manosphere Journey to Radicalization and Domestic Terrorism. any content moderation is being done by the UNPAID VOLUNTEER subreddit mods while the admins and their bot-run "anti-evil operations" greenlight all sorts of misogyny, transphobia and harassment.
gee, CONSERVATIVE media is LYING to women to get them to quit birth control to increase UNWANTED pregnancies while simultaneously BANNING abortion, what a fucking mystery
"no longer" is a pretty wild claim when we dropped to 23rd from FIFTEENTH. we weren't exactly medaling in happiness before
@dietotaku I'm trying to remember the last time I felt really happy.
"...which doctors say is safe and effective..."
Yeah. Sure. They can name and shame those "doctors". My guess is they're all chiropractors and homeopaths.
@Agatha no, the hormonal birth control is what doctors are saying is safe and effective. the cons are lying and claiming hormonal birth control is dangerous and women should quit using it (which inevitably gets them knocked up with babies they can't abort, just as planned)
Ah. Poorly worded blurb in the original. They didn't really specify which they were referring to.
From WaPo, today.
(I’m out of freebies, otherwise I’d put it up.)
Basically the gist, here. The rest details the obvious grifter nuttiness and the misled.
Let me tell you about the side effects of PREGNANCY and the long term harm it can cause... (not you you - generalized you).
@Agatha fr, that's what makes me see red when these sexists are like "just give the baby up for adoption!" as mama doctor jones says, adoption is an alternative to parenting, not to pregnancy, which is itself inherently risky and dangerous and life-altering.
Same. It pisses me off that they think we can just pop these babies out like it has absolutely zero risk or long term effect. My pregnancy damn near killed me. It was a planned pregnancy. We both survived. I had a tubal a year after, at 21 years old. I had a pregnancy scare after my son was born and I was absolutely terrified. I said never again. Zero regrets about the tubal.
@dietotaku It is possible to be legitimately angry at a system that is not working for you and also be stupid, mean, spiteful and ignorant.
Especially when that system taught you to be.
@dietotaku Both the supposed Left and Right have been working for many decades at allowing "free trade" agreements.
They are designed to take advantage of imbalance and scarcity, to increase the flow of money to the rich, they aren't a serious attempt at reasonably making sure wealth is shared and distributed fairly.
They're to let rich places outsource labor and trash disposal to poor places, not to uplift the poor places in a win-win.
