Republicans don’t even speak English anymore. They speak ragebait. Congratulations if you managed to get through that entire first quote without clicking away.
That’s a protected class. What the fuck?
My first reaction was also that it seems like an easy win in court. I hope that’s true
Working for an organization is not a protected class. It’s not LGBTQ+ people, it’s people who work for those organizations, and more specifically it seems ones that work to medically transition children.
I need a trumper to explain to me how this isn’t discriminatory. Explain to me like I’m as mentally challenged as your average maga cultist.
It is discriminatory, and that’s the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he’ll move on to people who have the “wrong” choice of religious preference, the “wrong” political beliefs, and the “wrong” immutable characteristics.
It is discriminatory. And that’s how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.
They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you’re no longer useful, and then immediately die.
I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.
1% is like “let’s not do what the democrats were trying to do to us… we’re better!”, 60% is like “yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!”. The rest just post “Thank you President Trump!”
They’re a bunch of knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers. Nothing anyone preaches in that shithole is relevant to anyone outside of their own inbred circus of a choir.
What on god’s green earth makes you think trumpers want non-discriminatory policies?
Likely they’ll say it’s to “pay back for DEI”.
So, affirmative action for the straights, guess MAGA no longer thinks AA is discriminatory lol
“Rules for thee, but not for me” is literally the foundation of conservatism.
But it is supposed to be discriminatory.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to the Gays for Trump crowd. I hope some have changed course. But the ones I’ve been able to look in on seem to be caught in the denial step.
or trans people for trump, they blame it on non-republican trans of course.
On X, they’re all just saying this is happening because of trans people.
Every time you think you know how dumb people are, they surprise you. And not in a good way.
I was a high profile gay because I came out in school and they nearly killed me. Won the Mathew Shepard scholarship. Somehow since then my mom has drifted so rightward, she’s supporting these assholes now. She told me she’s a “member of the log cabin republicans” which is when I told her she’s no longer welcome in queer spaces, and cut her off.
She used to be pro-choice. When Roe fell, she said “maybe that’s a good thing.” I’m 100% sure she’ll say the same when Obergefell goes. Maybe Lawrence too. Walking back her rights, her son’s rights is OK as long as brown people are getting hurt.
It is line the gays for Palestine.
They probably just blame trans people…
What do you expect? Most of them like to get fucked.
I’ve always found it creepy that job descriptions ask you to mention irrelevant details on job application pages like this
Those things originally were to help prevent discrimination through thr actions of thr EEOC. Under this administration though nothing is sacred.
It’s a double edged sword, what is supposed to help you can also be used to hurt you. Remember the Nazis used census data to find Jewish people
There’s a reason I’ve always lied or decline to state :D
I decline as well but so many applications these days force you to answer these questions
So lie.
I’ve always wondered what happens if you lie. Why couldn’t I be a bisexual handicapped inuit?
I am a gazorpazorpian and I don’t think that people should lie about their identity. If someone claimed to be from Gazorpazorp without actually being from there, I would be very irritated with that.
It’s supposed to be anonymous. You would never know who put Gazorpazorp into a particular company’s statistics.
I hope EVERYONE knows they won’t be getting ANY loan forgiveness. The whole work in civil service and get forgiveness is a myth and won’t be happening.
allegedly ice is getting the loan forgiveness, but you have to be in it so long , i doub they are actually following through with it. i highly suspect those who are employed by ice will be immediately rejected by employers when shit hits the fan and they are all let go one way or another.
Ice members do
As if ice members have student loans. Most dropped out of elementary as soon as truancy laws did not apply to them any longer.
Correction: They think they do.
Trump grifts everyone including his most loyal loyalists
Remember that time when the Trump campaign accounted for like 5% of ALL credit card fraud claims in the USA, for charging his supporters a monthly campaign donation when they thought they were doing a one-time donation?
he said they were the easiest grift from.
Yeah, okay it’s bad and we 100% knew they were going to do things like this but Harris could have been interpreted to be transphobic, so. That’s why we had to have this, apparently.
You’re arguing against a position that literally nobody holds. It’s very impressive how much more intellectually superior you are to a bundle of straw. It’s very impressive and you should be proud.
I mean, for being dead wrong that’s decent snark.
Another immature, sniveling shit-bird that would rather weaken and divide the left than move on like an adult.
Weaken and divide the left like screaming Harris supports genocide?
Sure, sure. Whatever you gotta tell yourself. As if it’s not going to happen again in less than one year. We’ll see how you strengthen and support the left then.
Weaken and divide the left like screaming Harris supports genocide?
Ah, so not only should they have voted for Harris, they should have been silent about the administration’s support of genocide. Even now, in retrospect, as everyone agrees that the genocide is a fact.
Clearly, someone so morally bankrupt as to feel the need to communicate their disgust at their candidate over such an insignificant issue as genocide should be subjected to, at every opportunity, public shaming, derision, and mocking.
It’s more important than they should feel ashamed now that their taking a stand over genocide had its own, worse consequences. I’m sure that, instead of putting them on the defensive and pushing them away, it will ensure they feel warm and fuzzy feelings for they next milquetoast candidate that refuses to take a stand on genocide. They’ll vote for them now, for sure.
Also, I love how everyone assumes I’m defending myself when I give people shit for being unable to move on. These people aren’t idiots. These people feel betrayed and hopeless. Explaining the way the game works is infinitely more productive than blame and derision.
Sure, let’s blame the voters for the absolute shitshow of the Democrats accidentally putting up yet another candidate with little appeal to voters.
I voted against Trump all three times voting for candidates I didn’t think deserved to be the nominee, let alone president. I’m sick to my fucking stomach of being force fed awful corporate Democrats and given zero choice to vote my actual conscience. So with all due respect - which is none - this sentiment can go fuck itself. I did my part, now you fucking do yours and stop blaming others for the failures of your group.
Imagine admitting you can’t tell the difference between corporate Democratics and literal nazi republicans. Embarrassing and sad.
When did I say that? I voted for one of those two over the other. My comment was clear about that.
The voters are absolutely to blame! They voted against their most basic interested and voted for the guy that satisfied their immediate made up anger. Why vote for trump if you barely survine on food stamps but hate the gays? Because somehow hating the gays was more important. Why vite for trump if you are part of a minority group and aren’t quite well documented to live in us? Because you drank the flavour water that it will be trump who will make your life even more amazing. Not the fact that living and working there is what made your life better.
Voters are absolutely to blame! Stuck to your phones in this algorithmic shitstorm you got fed the story that you being poor is not because of people like trump but because your gay black Latino neighbor somehow seems to have a less shitier life than you. Because you, the American voter, must wake up! You live in a shit system (your country is amazing and I wish I will be able to visit it again some day) that doesn’t exist anywhere else around the world. Your so called freedom to not care about most common sense rules of a modern society are not worth the struggle you live every day in the best of times. You need free healthcare, you need safe and free education for your children, you need protection against harmful working condition and much much more.
I really hope that you will still get a chance to vote these fuckers out and you will have woken up by then. Take this from someone living in a country that has been under the communist boot for more than 40 years!
You don’t even live here? We get enough of this shit from people here, don’t need it from you too. The Democratic Party is to blame for their own failures. They know how to win elections and refuse to do so because they don’t really care. Don’t blame the voters for not being inspired to vote for the shittiest alternative when they know there were better options that we never had a say in. Kamala was not actually nominated by the people, and the Democratic Party has been spreading the kind of bullshit propaganda you’re touting to blame the people they’ve been disenfranchising for years.
We got four years of Democratic control and nothing of substance was done to prevent any of this. This is a lot more nuanced than one single election, and your comment is literally what bad faith actors write to stir conflict on the left because it mimics the actual disenfranchisement of the left. So if you truly care like you say you do, stop spreading Democratic Party propaganda.
Bro, your whole demeanor here is why the world thinks we deserve this. You’re fucking here, blaming Democrats for what republicans are doing. That’s fucking stupid. Americans failed an open book test to stop retarded Hitler. Americans largely deserve the derision, even the leftists and progressives that were trying to stop this. That includes me, and it includes you too. Propaganda ain’t an excuse. I’m dumb as fuck and still wasn’t manipulated by it, because all it takes to see through is the barest cunt-hair of intellectual curiosity which the overwhelming majority of us Americans fundamentally lack.
The first comment I responded to literally blamed left voters for what Republicans are doing. But you’re not calling them out.
Oh they are absolutely to blame! You had to vote between one guy who told you exactly what he will do and a chick who did not say the words you wanted to hear but was not going to touch what you barely had. Of course you go with the guy!
You think you are unique ? Other countries have this too. Shit we had the same a while ago. One guy wanted to take us out of eu and NATO and throw us back to Russian hands and the other guy. We voted for the other guy! We want eu and NATO and all the rest. We had Russia before and no more. Who cares we didn’t really liked the guy.
When was the last time your people voted to nominate someone and not have someone shoved down your throat? This time was no different .
I didn’t vote for Trump. And you don’t seem to have a good idea of just how bad corporate Democrats are. It’s not “they won’t touch what we have” it’s “they’ll give it away in less visible ways,” often through inaction when action is possible, necessary, and begged for by the people. They are not an opposition to the Republicans, they’re complicit.
Our biggest fight is trying to convince apathetic nonvoters to vote, and apathetic voters to actually vote against this system in the primaries. Your messaging is hurting the latter, so please stop.
If you voted third party you voted for Trump. Ignorance of how our shitty system actually functions is not an excuse.
I didn’t vote third party. I voted Dem.
“Voted against trump all three times”
So you voted for what? The guy who got 3% of the vote? Let’s not pretend that any vote not for a democratic candidate isn’t a wasted vote. The last person to win from neither major party was back in 1848… so if you voted for a libertarian or the Green Party or whatever other hopeless party then you are just as bad as a trump voter. Democrats aren’t perfect, far from it, but if you didn’t want Trump to win, you would vote Democrat, period. They’re the only ones who have a legitimate shot at winning against Trump, or any republican really. Sadly that’s what politics is in this country, you don’t vote for the best person for the job. You vote to keep tyrannical psychopaths out of office.
I voted for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Did I pass your test to be allowed to have an opinion?
You are aggressively belligerent all over this thread my guy.
The one with the comment that started with aggressively blaming people dissatisfied with the Democratic Party out of absolutely nowhere? Sure am, I’m tired as fuck of this narrative and it only serves to further alienate voters that need to be heard for the first time in decades.
You know what? I’m done. These losers can have it. Kamala Harris was infallible and her stance on Palestine was completely acceptable. Joey Biden’s neoliberal presidency where he did nothing to prevent this was as strong as it could have been. It is 100% time to beat down on voters who felt hopeless already because how dare they.
Lol, right? A comment that effectively amounted to “Trump mentioned --> scapegoat progressives” draws no attention but me calling out the bullshit of that comment draws out all the sycophants who can’t stomach an ounce of blame. I’m tired of this shit.
Yes consider this reply as your legal documentation that you are a holder of the 1st amendment.
Even if I didn’t, my opinion would still be valid. Are left wing folks who don’t align with corporate Democrats a large enough group to influence elections, or small enough not to matter?
If the former, you need to work with us and refusing to do so is a failure of the Democratic party and its base. If the latter, then you are no better than a playground bully beating up a weaker kid because they lost a different fight.
If the former, you need to work with us and refusing to do so is a failure of the Democratic party and its base.
A failure of its base? 70 million people failed? Well goddamn.
And also bullshit. The choice was fascism or not and a shit ton of likely well-meaning but seriously wrong shitheads decided now was the time for a protest (non) vote.
We all want better candidates, no shit. But not voting or pissing away one’s vote on a Putin-licker like Jill Stein or a write-in is not just idiocy, it’s unconscionable. And there were a lot of them parading through here last year, deigning to lecture us bourgeoise on our moral failings. So fuck them. They fucked up and they need to know it.
What if everyone who voted for Kamala was wrong? What if 70 million people were right and everyone should have just voted for someone else? After all this is a democracy?
If you can’t tell I’m being purposefully idiotic because your opinion is dumber than shit and I think you deserve to be treated as such.
Refusing to hold the Democratic Party accountable is enabling the behavior that leads to those piss-poor candidates.
It’s absolutely a failure of the base that spends all of their energy blaming the people they need to be working with, and then getting all angry when those people feel too alienated to vote with them.
Everyone who still refuses to blame the Democratic Party for 2016 fucked up and they need to know it.
No absolutely every voter counts, what I’m getting at is voting for people who obviously aren’t going to win is a thrown away vote. A vote democrats COULD use. Idk how much more I can work with you. I vote in big and small elections, which is sadly more than I can say for a lot of people.
Literally you in these comments:
I realize that, but their wording leaves it open to interpretation like maybe they didn’t vote democrat at all. In which case nothing they say is valid imo.
That’s completely at odds with this comment I’m replying to.
If he wants to fuck gay people so bad he could just ask nicely
Asking for consent? That’s not Trump’s way.
You just won the Internet for that comment
Bingo.
It’s the permission and forgiveness thing. I can’t remember the exact wording exactly but it goes something like:
why ask for permission when you can just say “fuck your forgiveness, I’m going to rape you anyways. And no fucker will stop me because they are alla bunch of fucking cowards!” Again, I’m unsure of the wording but this is basically what the orange child rapist has been doing things for decades now.
What a piece of shit
How would they prove a person’s sexual preference?
Donald Trump’s Education Department (ED) released a new rule to deny student loan forgiveness to people who work for LGBTQ+ organizations.
It is based on the nonprofit they work for, not their gender expression/sexuality. So, basically the administration can just decide if he doesn’t like the organization you work for, you’re screwed. Obviously wrong and messed up.
BTW that is the first sentence of the article. Seems like the people replying to you didn’t read it either.
that is the first sentence of the article
It’s in the goddamn title, you don’t even need to click into the article yet we’ve still got multiple people in here who seem to have only read “Trump… exclude… LGBTQ+… workers”
Republicans: “government shouldn’t pick winners and losers”
Also republicans:
My bad. Thanks for clearing that up.
Haha no big deal. I don’t even read the article half the time either, too many ads, paywalls, etc
I skim frequently.
They don’t have to ‘prove’ anything, they judge based on vibes alone.
Well, the whole gop look and vibe like a bunch of cock suckers so that can’t be true.
IDK man, I’ve sucked a lot of dick and I like to at least think I don’t look like a loose pile of skin draped over a human-shaped void in the moral fabric of the universe like those fuckers do…
#brandnewsentence
I thought it was an Abraham Lincoln quote.
IDK man, I’ve sucked a lot of dick and I like to at least think I don’t look like a loose pile of skin draped over a human-shaped void in the moral fabric of the universe like those fuckers do…
– Abraham LincolnYup. Seems legit to me.
A marriage certificate would be a very easy way. Other than that, your guess is as good as mine
Lol, if the ICE facial recognition app is word over a birth certificate then they definitely won’t care about a marriage certificate
