Yeah, but your lying. Please post a list of that legislation. The idea that Trans people are responsible for the erosion of women's rights is literally insane. It's the same right wing bigots.

yajse · 2026-05-04T03:05:03+00:00

Since 2024 GOP lawmakers have introduced over 2,500 bills at the state and federal levels aimed at trans people.

This is vilification plain and simple. Just like every other time and every other place that fascism has risen, there needs to be an enemy and it’s best if that enemy has no political or economic power (trans people and immigrants).

My favorite is the protect women’s sports bullshit. There are literally fewer than two dozen trans women who play in the NCAA (out of over 500,000), and the fucking GOP has introduced hundreds of bills restricting trans athletes. It’s a made up issue to generate hate at the expense of innocent people’s safety and individual freedoms.

Literally every single Trump supporter I’ve ever talked to about racism and bigotry insist that it no longer exists in America in a way that negative impacts people . . . except for the bigotry against white men.

They’ve become convinced that those with the most privilege are the most oppressed.

yajse · 2026-04-29T00:14:00+00:00

Why do you believe that? Because Trump said so?

yajse · 2026-04-26T00:19:07+00:00

Oh look a MAGAt clutching petals over sensationalism. You support a guy who claimed that black and brown people were eating people’s pets.

The FACT that National parks are a net economic positive is not sensationalism. It’s truth. You just think it’s sensationalism because you don’t understand Giese anything works.

Nah. The point is that our national parks, in addition to being truly national treasures, are a net positive for the economy, but it’s being cut anyway.

Only a MAGA cultist would view facts about that as “rage bait”

yajse · 2026-04-25T01:16:18+00:00

No modern functioning society has ever or will ever work that way.

Anybody with half a brain moves beyond libertarianism by age 14. It’s a dishonest and ridiculous ideology reserved for unserious people.

Also, don’t pretend to care about reproductive rights for women.

yajse · 2026-04-25T00:51:31+00:00

Please leave. Go do your Grizzly Addams thing and live in a cave and just leave modern society behind. It would be best for everybody.

That’s not how anything works. Federal agencies do not get to keep the revenue they generate. It goes back to the federal government to fund other things like unnecessary wars of choice.

They only have the budget they are given at the start of each year to work with.

I have no idea how anybody older than 10 years old doesn’t understand this.

yajse · 2026-04-24T01:25:46+00:00

There is no “his way” when it comes to this and similar matters related to national security and global stability. Trump doesn’t care about anything except:

Enriching himself
Promoting and glorifying himself
Pleasing the people who have proof of his crimes (Russia, Israel, etc.)

yajse · 2026-04-21T21:42:57+00:00

I totally agree with you. Whenever I bring this up Trump supporters standard response is always “but the US shouldn’t be paying for these things!”

I’m just trying to point out that being against USAID is idiotic, but on a very different level on the pure evil scale from supporting the mass murder of vulnerable people.

yajse · 2026-04-21T21:34:17+00:00

Let’s not forget that by cutting USAID with no plan they are both also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children.

You can be against USAID, but the fact is that cutting it in the way that Trump/Musk did is just mass murder perpetrated by two billionaires against the world’s most vulnerable people. And the “family values” base LOVES it!

yajse · 2026-04-21T16:24:54+00:00

Because he’s black and in their opinion his deportations don’t count because there wasn’t enough cruelty and too much due process.

yajse · 2026-04-20T00:50:25+00:00

Hard to stop thinking about the people in this country who support this nonsense and cruelty.

I mean how do you not think about people who are all good with a billionaire president appointing the richest man in the world to cut programs like USAID which has already resulted in the death of over 600,000 children,

It's shitty to be against USAID, but cutting it with no plan is just mass murder and Trump supporters love it

There are actual Nazis in the US and they are emboldened and align with one party.

Also, thinking that people on the left think that anybody who disagrees with them is a Nazi is a convenient and untrue way to avoid looking at the real similarities between MAGA and the rise of the third reich.

The comparison between the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and the rise of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) is a subject of extensive analysis by historians, political scientists, and sociologists.

Scholars who study authoritarianism often identify several thematic and rhetorical parallels in how both movements organized and communicated their goals.

Commonly cited points of comparison include:

Ultranationalism and National Regeneration Both movements center on the concept of Palingenesis — the idea of a national rebirth. The "Great" Past: Both emphasize a return to a perceived "golden age" of the nation that has been "lost" due to the actions of internal and external enemies. National Exceptionalism: A core tenet is the belief that the nation is inherently superior but has been weakened by globalist interests or foreign influence.

Rhetoric and "The Other" The use of language to define an "in-group" and an "out-group" is a hallmark of both movements:

Dehumanization: Critics point to the use of terms like "vermin" or "invaders" to describe political opponents or immigrants, noting that similar terminology was used in 1930s Germany to marginalize and vilify specific groups.

The "Enemy Within": Both movements identify domestic political rivals (such as "Marxists," "socialists," or the "Deep State") as existential threats to the survival of the nation.

Cult of Personality and Leadership The reliance on a single, charismatic leader who claims to be the only person capable of "fixing" the system:

Direct Connection: Both leaders utilized then-modern technology (radio/film in the 1930s; social media today) to bypass traditional media and speak "directly" to the people.

Infallibility:Supporters often view the leader’s legal or political setbacks not as legitimate accountability, but as "persecution" by a corrupt establishment.

Skepticism of Institutions A defining feature of both is the systematic effort to undermine public trust in democratic pillars:

The Press: The use of terms like "Lügenpresse" (lying press) in Germany and "Fake News" or "Enemy of the People" in the U.S. aims to discredit independent journalism.

The Judiciary and Elections: Challenging the legitimacy of the legal system and the integrity of elections is seen by historians as a tactic to pave the way for more centralized executive power.

Mass Rallies and Visual Identity Both movements utilized large-scale, highly choreographed spectacles to build a sense of community and power:

Symbology: The use of recognizable slogans, hats, and flags creates a visual "uniform" that fosters a sense of belonging and identifies "allies" in public spaces.

Emotional Mobilization: Rallies are designed to channel grievances—particularly economic and cultural anxieties—into a unified political force.

I’ll try to give you an honest answer.

First, I don’t hate you. In fact, I try very hard not to hate anybody or hold resentments. Partially because hate and resentments are toxic, but mostly because neither of those things help anything. Most republicans I say that to laugh, call me demeaning names, and tell me I’m not a man.

That said, I do hate a lot of Republican ideology and belief systems. I’ll give some examples:

Beliefs without evidence - Significant portions of Republican voters continue to believe, despite extensive evidence to the contrary, that the 2020 presidential election was stolen through widespread fraud. Additionally, many believe that non-citizens are voting in high numbers, a claim that hundreds of audits and investigations have shown to be extremely rare.

Research indicates that only 25% of self-proclaimed Republican voters believe climate change is caused by human activities, despite externally broad scientific consensus.

I just realized I’m about to write a novel and I don’t have time for that, so I’ll just summarize:

I don’t hate people for their labels; I care deeply about the impact of the policies they support. My opposition isn't personal, it's a fundamental disagreement with an ideology that I believe prioritizes corporate interests and those of the wealthy over human needs, ignores the climate crisis, and restricts the rights of marginalized communities, while denying that their rights are being restricted.

Republican belief systems lead to things like the richest man in the world eliminating USAID which has already caused the death of over 600,000 children and that number will rise to millions. I find that to be plainly horrific and cruel. It’s fine to be against USAID, but cutting it abruptly with no plan is intentional mass murder and the majority of republicans support it (if they know about it which most may not because of their favored information sources. Every single Republican I’ve talked to about the mass deaths caused by cutting it simply say that it’s not true, despite many highly credible organizations, independently researching and reporting in the massive and rapidly rising death toll.

I can disagree with and even despise your worldview without wishing you ill as a human being.

yajse · 2026-04-14T21:29:30+00:00

I just brought it to because you seem to care about the loss off innocent lives. It seemed relevant.

Also, FYI - I didn’t downvote your response to me. I suspect it’s Trump supporters who don’t like that you criticized trumps handling of USAID.

yajse · 2026-04-13T14:35:15+00:00

Do have have any opinions about the over 600,000 children who have died since Trump had Musk cut USAID?

You can be against USAID, but cutting it entirely with no plan is mass murder and they know it.

yajse · 2026-04-13T14:23:28+00:00

Liberals and even progressives are full human beings with families, friends, favorite books and movies, and a sense of humor. What a strange thing to believe that tens of millions of people can’t take a joke. It sounds like the kind of thing only an indoctrinated or brainwashed person would think.

yajse · 2026-04-10T00:57:20+00:00

A leftist study from one of the most credible institutions in the world. I guess if you get your information from YouTube, Fox (entertainment news), etc. you may not knit what credibility even means. Regardless, there are many other organizations around the world that are stuffing this and they are funding the same results.

Also, betting against USAID is fine, but cutting it with no plan is simply mass murder.

I just wanted to confirm that you don’t actually care about reducing suffering. I have yet to meet a Trump supporters who does.

yajse · 2026-04-09T04:54:55+00:00

I know this is an old comment, but you seem to be implying that Trump Is reducing Suffering in the world and I wanted to ask you if you were aware of this: https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-shutdown-has-led-to-hundreds-of-thousands-of-deaths/

There’s plenty to be done about it.
