What are you referring to with your daughter going into a camp?

[–] FlyingSquid -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm referring to the queer genocide that Trump is going to start any time now.

I'm sure someone will chime in and tell me that won't happen.

Holy shit man you moved your family across the planet because you think that is going to happen?

I admire your courage but you should have tried opening up your news source bubble first.

Yep, that's what I thought.

You might want to look at Project 2025.

Or just listen to virtually everything Republicans say about queer people.

And even if she doesn't get put in a camp, I want her to be able to do things like get married if she wants to. Considering states are asking SCOTUS to revisit that ruling, and the makeup of SCOTUS, she's never going to be able to do that in America.

You are, I am guessing, not queer. You are safe. Get out of your bubble and talk to queer Americans because I think you might be surprised (or maybe you don't give a shit).

Edit: Oh look, a bunch of right-wing homophobic downvoters.

I've been searching on Project 25 for about 45 minutes now. I haven't been able to find anyone who both (a) summarizes the document and (b) provides citations in the form of page numbers for their claims about what it says.

I'm tempted to just read the whole thing and then publish my own summary.

But until I do that, I'm in the dark about what it says. According to ChatGPT,

Project 2025 proposes removing protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and enforcing a binary definition of gender.

Nothing about making gay marriage illegal, nor anything about rounding queer people into camps. But ChatGPT could be wrong. I don't know.

What have you read about Project 2025? Did you save the links of things you read about it? Can you link me to whatever convinced you of this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Not really.

You make some points I agree with, you make some points I'm neutral on, and you make some points I disagree with.

In nearly all cases though, you appear to take an insular view which comes across as confrontational and adds little to the discussion but a sour taste.

It's pointless discussing a topic with you when you either take a deep rooted view with no opportunity for open discussion, and/or take a childish "I told you so" position when hearing a dissenting view.

That's likely why you are getting downvotes. Other views may apply.

FlyingSquid, I respect you as a member of this community. I've mostly enjoyed our interactions here over the last couple of years since I joined. I love your no context comics community. I respect your opinion.

I know you're under enormous stress right now, having just moved your family to another country.

My intention is not to attack you here. My intention is to help you see the truth so that you can make solid, well-founded decisions for your family.

That's why I ask for citations on your beliefs: to challenge what I think might be unfounded conclusions. This is a very high-stakes game, because it has inspired you to uproot your family across the globe.

I want the truth for both of us. If my political party has done something to make this country inhospitable for you or your daughter, I want to know so that I can work within my party to end whatever it is has sent you on the run.

If it hasn't, then I want to make that clear so you don't have to feel that there's fire at your back when there isn't.

I want what's best for you and your family. I don't want you to be a political refugee. I don't want my country to be the kind of place that produces political refugees.
