      I’ve watched decades of leftist get their heads kicked in by conservative police forces who have learned how to better kick in heads. Mean while leftists are showing up with a playbook that hasn’t been updated in 70 years. If anything the 70s probably had more effective playbook. Point is its fun to say but the left is not making a great case for learning and adapting.

      Hell in Canada they have pretty much fucked us for a few decades pretty severely

    Lazy reporting. Three comments on X is not a freak out. What happened to journalism? When did it become copying and pasting comments from social media?

      It’s lgbtqnation, one of the most crappy outlets when it comes to unnecessarily charged language when it comes to pushing an agenda.

      I’m willing to bet the majority of it’s supporters shit on foxnew viewers for being easily manipulated.

        LGBTQNation has an agenda? That’s ABSURD! It’s OBVIOUSLY a very balanced outlet as you can CLEARLY see in it’s name! Anyways I’m going to go watch Fox NEWS.

    Oh, this sh*tfest is hilarious.

    We’ve known about gay penguins since 1912, and regressives are just now cottoning on?

      The conservative education system makes a special effort to misinform/occlude information about certain natural facts of life for generations of people. So every graduation cycle or two, you’ve got a fresh faced cohort of brainwashed kids who have to find out about the gay penguins from 1912 for the first time, ten years after they’ve cemented their bias against homosexuality on “rationalist” grounds.

      We’ve been playing similar games with evolution since the fucking Stokes Monkey Trial. Identical debunked arguments showed up in The Panda’s Thumb over a century after they were ostensibly put to bed.

      You’ll periodically see this show up in regards to phrenology and eugenics, as well. All sorts of inane long-dismissed claims about how physiognomy clues amateur race-sleuths in to someone’s criminal intent or intellectual fitness or breeding capacity.

      Recycling pseudoscience and vaguely sourced gossip is also very popular in anti-abortion circles, giving us all sorts of zombie lies about pagan blood sacrifice of fetuses and elaborate plots to cull the white race.

      The dogmatism of western bigotry is baked into conservative ideology. You can find people dredging up the same old tired lies from the 19th century in arguments made before the US Congress and the Supreme Court to this very day.

    I remember Manny Pacquiao saying homosexuals are worst than animals because homosexuality does not exist in the animal kingdom. He was promptly educated.

      “I’m sorry for hurting people by comparing homosexuals to animals. Please forgive me for those I’ve hurt. I still stand on my belief that I’m against same sex marriage because of what the Bible says, but I’m not condemning LGBT. I love you all with the love of the Lord. God Bless you all and I’m praying for you.”

      Clearly not well enough. This is the old liberal-adjacent “Hate the sin, love the sinner” canard that moderate fundamentalists trot out, in order to exist in that gray “agree to disagree” space liberals love. Give it too much room to breath, and you’re going to be escorted to the Gay Conversion Therapy Camps with big rainbow colored “ordnen macht frei” signs over the entrance gate.

    yawn… why do we still sit around and talk in flabbergasted bewilderment about how dumb conservatives are? WE KNOW THEY’RE FUCKING IDIOTS. the question is ‘what are we going to do about it?’ - continue to let them have a say in democracy?

    say what you want about them but they’re doing a pretty good job of forcing their agenda on US because most of YOU are too chickenshit to do anything to stop them.

      Yes, because without their voice, it’s not democracy anymore. That’s how democracy works. The only thing you really can do is try to educate the ignorant.

        yeah, that’s not working, and i’m more interested in avoiding the consequences of their policies than i am protecting their freedom. they’ve been educated for the last 2 decades and they’ve only dug their heels in deeper. there’s only one solution at this point.
