    At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.

      33% of a country are always Authoritarians. Those are the people who vote to end democratic rule and install dictatorships.

      More than that, the percentage of voters who opposed ending segregation was surprising.

      I suppose we could start with ‘the states that literally fought a war and killed their countrymen to keep humans as pets’, though there’s spillover.

        There’s some info stickers the Harris campaign sells if you want to help lower that for the people around you. Or at least increase the number of unfavorable view of it

          Yes, project 2025, loaded with unpopular ideas, opposed primarily by democrats, is actually a democrat wetdream. Because democrats have proven repeatedly their agenda is always rolling back human rights /s

          It’s moronic. You discredit yourself so hard, it’s actually hard to top your own words.

              The militant communist is getting their catchphrase from the Brady Bunch. Which btw wasn’t a cool reference 15 years ago either. lol

              Not to mention that you want to imply that democrats long for the dissolution of human rights but you know saying it outright is laughably indefensible even by your standards, so you keep quiet on that and toss out your little snarky deflection.

                Your party voted in favor of anti-trans legislation which was bipartisan in sponsors and cosponsors. Written by a Democrat and a Republican. But instead of calling it an anti trans bill it was presented as saving kids, KOSA

                  Notice how you hide behind the fact that it likely was bad legislation just by the name of it and refuse to explain what you are talking about in any way. How is this “anti-trans”? You might be right (doubt it outside of some particular edge cases, but prove me wrong). But you’re begging me to dismiss you by just being condescending about it.

          Go familiarize yourself with the total aims of Project 2025 and then maybe you’ll see why you look like a complete shill trying to equate these 2 things.

            The Heritage Foundation roots of KOSA

            Advising getting the bill passed is imperative

            And that’s how the two things are equal.

            Care to guess who the shill is?

              What part of KOSA dissolves the Department of Education?

              What part of KOSA enacts government monitoring women’s pregnancies?

              Do you understand the concept of false equivalency?

              Do you even understand what the word “equal” is?

              Stop wasting everyone’s time.

                I suppose you don’t understand what the term piecemealed is. When liberals get on board with it, they won’t advertise it as eliminating the department of education like they did not label kosa an anti-trans legislation.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
