The terrifying thing is that a sizable portion of this country reads this list and thinks it sounds like a great idea.
Some of it. I don't know that even a sizable portion of this country wants to raise prescription drug prices. I also think a very small percentage wants to get rid of no fault divorce or contraception. Even most Catholics are fine with contraception. And use it too.
Raising the retirement age? I'd guess that their sizable voting bloc in their 60s wouldn't be good with that.
Honestly, I think the more people learn about this, the more they will find things they don't like about it. Even Republicans.
Yeah, but they mean all that for other people, not me!
...hey, what's that leopard staring at me for?
I was going to make this point too, that regular Americans who support this stuff think it will only affect people they don't like. Like how the presidential immunity only covers "official acts," a term left completely undefined so they can claim things they like official and things they don't unofficial.
Of course, those broke bitches on the ground aren't going to get that same consideration and will get fucked same as "DA lIbZ"
"Learn" "Republicans" I think I found a problem with this plan.
I'm surprised this graphic doesn't mention banning porn and jailing those who produce and distribute it (page 5). Even for non-porn consumers, when you remember that they're trying to lump non-explicit LGBT media in as porn (for example), that becomes a pretty dangerous stance.
I would say there are a lot of cases creating precedent that this is free speech, but well....
I am hoping for an asteroid to take us all out.
Climate change 🤞
Don't count all of us in, funnies scene in Greenland was watching Orlando get taken out via asteroid hit and how am I going to find the IRL version funny if I'm dead for it?
What's scary to me is that a sizable portion of people don't care.
everyone that opposes this already knows.
leftists better start organizing in the us. this will not be solved by democrats.
On this. You and I 100% agree. Which should be a shock for you coming from someone you mistakenly labeled conservative. I'm just anti authoritarian, but very pro solidarity.
as long as we are doing any type of effective organization, everyone benefits.
I’d like to get more involved with something, but not the SRA. Tried that and felt like it was not much more than burning $35 for the membership fees. I need something a little bit more substantial and a bit more cohesive than some discord channel.
i can't speak for the US, but there are plenty of bad orgs out there, sadly.
i think its important to understand the theory behind it because it makes it easier to spot the good ones vs the bad ones vs the ones that won't be effective.
