What era in time do these people think R's are trying to conserve to, after or before civil rights?

Imagine having your head so far up your ass you think Trump is friendly to the gays. HO-LY SHIT! Jesus Americans are so fucking dumb...

What a useful fucking idiot of a dumpster fire. You’re gay and vote for the guy who wants you to lose rights? Either you’re a complete fucking idiot, or you’re a psychopath who’s also a complete fucking idiot.

So many “gays” were pro trump over at askgaybros. Now they post in gay conservative and gaslight each other.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

It's a tale as old as time. They don't see themselves as the 'bad' gays or Jews or whatever that their leaders and other Republicans/Torys/Religions etc hate. They think they'll be spared because they're special. All the way to the camps they believe this.

When I was younger, I thought conservativism was just for people who are like "literally don't change anything, keep everything like how it is" I have realized that this is not true, it's all about regressing, they're all regressionists.

This fucktard doesn't realize that they're only allowing him to be a part of the club because for now, he's useful to them, perhaps influencing right leaning minorities and queers to join in and help their own slaughter.

These guys are no different from the Jews for Hitler party

What a fucking moron.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Conservatism has become quite the unfitting term. Retrogressivism might be more suitable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

I've been using Regressive for a while.

Sucking your bro is the point, bro.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

But sucking bros sucks bro if you suck the R instead of the D bro.

[–] AA5B 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

If you want to suck the R instead of the D, are you even gay?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago

No, you're just a sub.

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1.Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

2.The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

3.A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses

4.Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5.A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Look at this guy botch numbered lists by missing the space. Is this a meta comment? 😉

[–] AA5B 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I’d upvote that - why does markup need to be so complex and brittle?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't think writing lists & punctuation in the conventional way is expecting too much. No spaces after periods? Crazy.

[–] AA5B 1 points 1 hour ago

That’s the problem, isn’t it: whose convention? It never works in the way I conventionally do ot, and takes way too much troubleshooting to make it work. I also have no idea how to do formatting other than lists so would have to look it up. There’s a reason most posts on Lemmy are unformatted, it’s too much effort to get it to work.

Before you say that’s a me problem: the list conventions I write with work fine everywhere else. Plus I haven’t had to look up formatting syntax since LaTEX

[–] [email protected] 43 points 8 hours ago

doing this will only push me and other people like me out!

I love being republican and would never be a democrat

A bit hard to take the threat seriously when you already admitted it would never happen.

[–] FlashMobOfOne 19 points 7 hours ago

What's interesting is that Democratic and Republican voters look at these two parties and somehow, after the last 40 years of wealth transferring upward, manage not to notice the billionaires behind both of them.

No one cares about your unique social characteristics or what demographics you fall into. They care about finding that sweet spot where you will work yourself to death but not come up behind them on a NYC street and communicate your displeasure with a bullet.

You are an ant underneath their boot.

White gay man doesn't believe he's part of the LGBTQ+ community anymore because he sees people like him on TV... He's just now realizing that his buddies would rather not see people like him on TV.

[–] TrickDacy 10 points 4 hours ago

He does not seem to be realizing it. He makes it sound like a new trend of only a few people

[–] RememberTheApollo_ 47 points 9 hours ago

“It doesn’t matter until it affects me” - republicans who thought “winning” would just hurt those they disagreed with.

[–] yesman 67 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Notice how the author justifies himself. He's pro-life, 2nd, ect...

This screams "I'm one of the good ones", and implies that he has internalized homophobia. Anyway, it's some next level "pick me" shit.

[–] sirboozebum 6 points 3 hours ago

A "pick me" wanker.

"Dear Republicans. When I voted to have people's rights stripped away and their lives ruined, I didn't think it included me!"

Eat shit, asshole.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

Dear Trump, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin', I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

and should gulp it down with a warm jug of piss for good measure.

[–] ToiletFlushShowerScream 47 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Talking to Republican acquaintances who have lost their jobs to musk, they all say similar ideas. "I'm team Republican, so I voted R. Couldn't let the Ds win. They are the like our division rivals". Its literally a game to them, and election day is their Superbowl.

“So why’re you so mad? Y’all won! Think of it this way: you now have all day, everyday to celebrate!”

[–] FreakinSteve 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Most hilarious example of this is Alex Jones, who now has everything he screamed for for 30+ years and now doesnt know what to do with his show. He is now forced to support every idea that he preached was reprehensible all that time.

[–] TrickDacy 2 points 4 hours ago

I have listened to many hours of Knowledge Fight and you are correct. Wild to go back and listen from the first episodes like I've done recently

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

the greatest con ever played on the public was convincing tens of millions of Americans that their civil rights were a game to them. Normalizing an attitude of “we might loose, but they won’t win either”.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Us vs Them isn’t red vs blue, it’s the rich donors vs their productive workers. The vast majority of Republicans and Democrats are actually on the same “side.”

Developing class consciousness is one of the few ways out of this mess.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

i agree wholeheartedly. there ain’t no warfare but class warfare. look at iraq, do you really think we would have gone in if they were just another dirt poor country? naw.

"[...] this will only push me and other people like me out."

I mean.... Yeah.... That IS kind of their whole point!?

[–] RymrgandsDaughter 19 points 10 hours ago

Education is really lacking. LGBT+ Republicans are some of the stupidest, most selfish, and downright deplorable people in conservative circles. They post these goofy ass posts like this as if they should be immune from the issues everyone else in our community is fighting to protect. "New" Conservative movement my ass that would defeat the point of conservatives.

Acting like these people aren't trying to destroy the efforts of progressives from the last 50+ years because that is the "Great" in MAGA would be hilarious if it wasn't pathetic. I get that these people are emotional and political masochists but they need to take it home.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Typical conservative reasoning: “I don’t mind banning abortion, because I personally will never be affected”

A gay republican; or, as they're more commonly known as in the LGBT community, a "bitch-ass traitor".

Just one man's opinion, but I'd rather have the picture and discussion here than a link to reddit.

I know very little about gay rights history in the US but in a quick search I learned that the supreme court case that made same sex marriage legal was put forth by a Democrat.

Another thing is that I'm under the impression that the Replublican party is very much a Religeous party that does not reconize anything outside Men-Women relations. I'm always confused to hear about gay Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

The issues with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_Cabin_Republicans seem similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews, being gay isn't a character trait, it's a sexuality and its stands to reason that lots (although a minority) of gay people are generally conservative when it comes to every other issue than gay rights. And they deceive themselves into the idea that they can be "one of the good ones" and either that the party has already, or that they will move the party towards an accepting attitude.

LCR president Greg Angelo described the "preservation of LGBT rights and support for the LGBT community" as hallmarks of Donald Trump's 2016 Presidential campaign, and asserted that support would continue during his presidency.

I feel little pity for anyone who has so little knowledge of history that they don’t know the Republican Party has run on anti-out groups since before I was born.

[–] JustZ 11 points 11 hours ago

Absolute dumbass. Even now he cannot face reality.
