I mean, this is just asking them to be ok with being illegally deported by the GOP when Project 2025 hits its stride after a Trump win.

I won’t even bother explaining why the reasoning itself is stupid, as OP obviously won’t engage honestly and cry genocide (which, to be clear, it is one, but the cold hard fact is that there are other things at play here outside of just Palestine).

There’s a tamper-proof seal on the bottle

The problem I see with that is there really doesn’t seem to be a point in bothering with things like civility. The people who say shit like that aren’t concerned with anything other than being intentionally obnoxious. A quick jab back to remind any reader that this is what is at stake here and then going into an explanation of “this is how absurd these people are” seems quite effective to me in the short attention span online space.

I think I’m just gonna start responding to anyone who goes after a person for voting Dem with “why do you hate immigrants and LGBTQ+ people?” Make them come up with some kind of answer while they accuse us of doing “mental gymnastics” to vote for Kamala Harris.

Granted, it’s kind of stupid, but I’m not sure what else can be said to someone lacking that much self-awareness.

It’s funny, I had thought about mentioning that I’m a straight white dude, so I’m pretty safe from direct problems when it comes to the Republicans targeting women and minorities. Of course, I have both A) friends and family who do not fit that mold, and B) a fucking conscience, so I will likely never vote Republican as long as I live…

Of course, I have to make concessions to those ideals whenever I vote, due to the issues like Gaza…which, while it pains me to say it: I will not willingly let those friends and family members’ rights be taken away on account of a bunch of strangers thousands of miles away.

Do I hate genocide? Duh.

Will I vote for “Genocide Joe” or whatever? Absolutely.

For both the reasons stated above and because a protest vote in the US just means letting the people who more broadly oppose your ideals win (and they’d just make the situation worse).

I’m slowly becoming more convinced that any and all so-called leftists online that refuse to vote Dem over Gaza are just intentionally trolling or are bots - the sheer lack of awareness just baffles me.

I recall a post somewhere from a person saying they can tell when a leftist online is from a blue state or a red state by how they act - I think this whole interaction is very telling where this person is from.

In my state, I’d be happy to have a Democrat of basically any kind over a Republican. Abortion rights are fucked, public education is hobbled, and I expect LGBT rights to be eroded further in the next year or so. Would I like to see leftist policies implemented? Absolutely, but I’ll take what I can conceivably get, even if that means things simply don’t get worse.

How do you think shift destruction to russian villages will help end the war sooner?

Gee, I dunno, let’s ask Germany how the Soviet advance into Germany helped end the war faster lmfao

Hitting someone until they stop hitting you is a good way to end an altercation, especially since the aggressor clearly won’t use words to end it.

And, pray tell, what library or school has pornography in it that is easily accessible to minors?

Furthermore, having lived my entire life around educators and now working for an educational institution: parents are fucking stupid lol

The sheer numbers of videos of parents bitching and crying at school meetings or libraries about “X book is pornographic” or “this book has witchcraft and should be burned” is absurd. Those mouth breathers don’t even know how to critically examine a fucking facebook post for bullshit, let alone comprehend the difficulty in teaching children.

Don’t like your kid learning about how Trans people exist? Go fuck yourself and homeschool your kid so they can be permanently stunted in terms of preparation for the real world. Let the vast majority of regular people make sure their kids grow up socially aware and at least passingly prepared for the future.

Also, “this will be the law?” Have you seen the flailing Republican party? Guess what fucker - the average American thinks project 2025 is batshit and the republican party got hijacked by a manchild and ruined their stupid plans. It’s only downhill from here now that they went mask off - most people think they’re nuts.
