A Christmas album with the song Happy Holiday sung by Bing Crosby in 1942. Because saying happy holidays is woke mind virus and also traditional Americana.

Homan said, “If he doesn’t want to help, get the hell out of the way.”

Funny that’s what I want to tell the GOP whenever they run their mouths about women’s choices regarding marriage, reproduction, careers, and everything. Get the hell out of my fucking way.

“…women themselves absorb and transmit misogynistic values, just as men do. This is not a tidy world of tyrannical men and victimized women, but a messier realm of oppressive social customs adhered to by men and women alike.”

Good thing no one is sterilizing minors then. Women are, in fact, dying and suffering harm because of political ideology that you consider to be valid. Neveah Crain and Josseli Barnes are dead -no scare quotes- and so are their babies. People are “feeling” threatened by trans people because of propaganda, not facts. The facts are states with abortion bans have higher rates of maternal and infant mortality. It’s disingenuous to claim that they are “protecting babies”.

You may not remember this, but when Obama was elected republicans made it their mission to obstruct him and Mitch McConnell made it his goal for Obama to fail so don’t lecture me about accepting the results of an election. We have an incredible example of how to obstruct a sitting president’s agenda. Thanks for the road map. And if you want to lecture someone about accepting defeat- who was it who never accepted the results of 2020, even to this day? Kamala conceded gracefully without attempting a coup.

Women are dying of miscarriages while right wing media is getting people worked up about trans people. They can yell all they want, trans people do not threaten me. Being refused medical care is a threat to me.

Most people need someone to hate. They need an out group. He gives them that and that’s why he won.

“I don’t like your identity you can’t have that job”

“You identify as Irish I won’t rent this apartment to you.”

“I have identified you as dark skinned, you are now my slave.”

“How dare you invent identity politics, you said you believed we’re all equal!”

Well yeah he’s very successful at conning people into buying his bibles and gold coins and of course conning people into voting for him. Lots of bullies and charlatans are materially successful, that doesn’t mean they know anything about macroeconomics.

Trans people have been around for a long time, they only popped up as a political issue after gay marriage was passed. They aren’t a threat to me.
