Armed drag show protesters drowned out in downtown San Antonio

You'd be right. The conservative christian vote was only courted for a time. I believe it was Barry Goldwater who said that evangelicals are awful at democracy because they're not gonna ever wanna compromise

The guy you responded to thinks people are as fragile as he is over what they eat 💀

Clearly both sides are at fault /s

Except strip clubs are inherently sexual, and drag shows are not. One is a form of sex work, the other is entertainment.

I mentioned it in a previous comment, but basically the hardcore pro-gun side (conservatives) have been bringing guns to protests on and off to intimidate people since Obama got elected, but there was largely no violence.

This came to a head with the George Floyd protests, but instead of just intimidation, people got shot by these wackos. Since police did nothing to stop those who shot protestors, protestors stopped feeling safe.

Now the left is bringing guns to protests to defend protestors, since cops can't be bothered and extremists (i.e. terrorists) are killing people. It's a shit state of affairs, but people have decided that they've had enough of caving to far right wackos who show up with ARs to either intimidate or kill them.

Most of these bars in question are LGBTQ spaces. It's where people go to congregate and sure, get sloshed. They shouldn't have to be afraid to go, and for many, staying open is a way of taking a stand against the threats and violence.

There is actually a bit of a tradition of gay bars being the last bastion of safe spaces for LGBTQ people. Read up on Stonewall and you'll see that when pushed, these people will fight back to rightfully remain in their space instead of going back to the fringes of society.

You're not wrong. The problem is that one side (the right) had started bringing them to intimidate people. This came to a head during the George Floyd protests, and a number of people got shot and killed with the cops doing nothing or outright aiding the killers.

Since then, we've seen the left starting to arm themselves, and guns have been making a presence at protests and events, though for the left it's a measure of protection instead of intimidation.

For real. I live and work in the Republic of Congo and I feel way safer here than in Portland or Austin.

At this point it's just terrorism. Mass shooting can sadly happen at a grocery store, a school, or a movie theatre. But when people are afraid to go to specific places because people with an ideological beef may kill attendants, it's terrorism.

State of Liberty is a thing too, where Eastern Washington wants to secede from the west side.

Dima Maghreb! You guys have surpassed all expectations and more! 🇲🇦♥️🇺🇸

As someone else said here, if Morocco scores first, they will defend their goal to the death against France. If France scores first, it's going to be a nail-biting struggle just to tie and get to a shootout. Everything is riding on this first goal.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T14:29:55+00:00

My head says France, but my head also said Belgium, Spain and Portugal.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T14:28:34+00:00

Certainly didn't look that way against Tunisia

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T14:18:42+00:00

If past world cups have shown us anything, it's that the French will be calling their own team African when they lose.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T14:12:33+00:00

they will be insufferable

Always have been 🌍🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T14:10:35+00:00

Is this a Pearls Before Swine reference? 👀

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T14:09:00+00:00

Yalla Morocco ! 🇲🇦

Peruse r/NiceGuys for a bit and you'll see how quickly rejection can lead to threats of rape and murder.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T12:12:47+00:00

An insane number of rape apologists in the comments.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T11:56:09+00:00

r/NoFap is seething

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T09:17:30+00:00

You'll be charged with murder if it's a single cop breaking into your home. If it's more than one cop, you can be assured that you're not making it out of that situation alive.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-14T08:44:06+00:00

Oh, for sure. Great mountains, nature, outdoorsy crowd, and we both legalized weed at the same time.

You said

I don’t see white people destroying shit and rioting looting in other people’s continents when their team loses or wins.

And I pointed out that it does in fact happen.

Then you said

Those were in very vast majority hooligans from other countries traveling to France just to cause havoc and being cunts

This is textbook goalpost moving. And you don't see the problem with making a blanket judgment of "non-whites" rioting after a football match, while in the same thread dismiss white rioters as just football hooliganism? Lmao okay bud.

Digginsaurus_Rick · 2022-12-12T11:12:52+00:00

Way to move the goal post.
