I hope everyone uses the following buzz-words when discussing this with conservatives, moderates, centrists, etc.:
"I mean I'm for individual freedom as much as the next guy, so that's why I don't think it's right to have government intrude on an individual's rights to their own body."
"I thought Republicans wanted small government? Why are they forcing government in the doctor's office with me and my doctor?"
"I thought Republicans were all about 'my house my rules,' — why are they so concerned about an unconscious parasite that is getting free rent from my body? That fetus is a squatter I can evict whenever I want!"
Identify the double-standard in conservative values.
Legit people need to start doing this. I've been saying it for years.
'I'm a true American patriot, I'm not gonna let the government tell me or my fiancee what I can and can't do with my body. Stop being a commy' said to an anti abortion republican with an American flag. I also call them snowflakes.
Maybe the ones on the internet. The ones in my workplace backtrack on making fun of queer folk when u tell them ur friends with trans ppl and call it nonconformity.
we need fast change and we need it now.
We need change period, we can't afford to be picky about what kind.
It's not really about swaying them, but swaying everyone else listening in.
This is how right-wing propaganda has been so effective. Fox News & affiliates literally promote brainwashing to have the crazy uncles memorize soundbite talking-points to project at Thanksgiving Dinners and so forth across America.
lol this astroturfing troll is trying SO hard to incite violence among the left.
Okay whatever you say, buddy. Just finish college before you start your revolution, mmkay?
Oh, and after you, Mr. 420 lmao.
I think u forgot to ask him if hes heard about our Lord and savior, Linux Mint.
lol no disrespect to Linux users but I don't even use it so he's even that much more off the mark. Such a weird insult haha.
Im fighting so hard to not just reply with,
Have you heard about our Lord and savior, Linux Mint? :p
Yea I don't debate them online and even in person I don't really debate them more so just respond once calling them out using their terms and then I just move on while calling them snowflakes.
which changes nothing. you want to watch the world burn or would you like to help save it?
I help save it in other ways. Not gonna waste braincells on these people.
