This is the basis of modern eugenics in the hopes that whites will reproduce more. I'm not even joking. This would be their dream.

This is also in context of the Republican effort out control education. Banning topics they don't like, rewriting history, homeschooling, and diverting public school funds to indoctrinating "Christian" private schools.

Wow, this got a lot darker.

ETA: I think you're right. That's why it took the mirth out of my mood.

Aaaah, okay. I was trying to figure out why Coulter would say this. Now it makes sense.

Did she really post that? I just cant tell what’s real anymore

[–] EdibleFriend 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Didn't she step back from the brink during trumps presidency? Like...he was too crazy even for her?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

He wasn't too crazy for her, he was too dumb and ineffectual.

Ann Coulter is an evil Nazi Barbie, but she's not an idiot.

I just remember the absolutely miserable comedy central roast that some jackass thought would be a good idea to invite her to.

She was tied at the hip to the Bush Administration, and when the whole country turned against Bush, she wasn't savvy enough to make the pivot like Tucker or Hannity (might be some sexism tied up in that, too). The Republican party now hates everything Bush did, and pretends they weren't all the same people supporting him at the time. Coulter's the one who got stuck with all the baggage, and Fox News wouldn't have her on anymore.

Don't shed a tear for her. She's not worth the salt.

Coulter is also somewhat more pro-gay rights than your average Republican. She's against gay marriage, but is more friendly with the Log Cabin Republicans than your average right wing commentator.

No. This opens the door to laws that clearly apply based on on political affiliation. Do not open that door. It will eventually be used against you.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

I hate to tell you this but the door is basically open and there's a loud mouth running for president and his cronies who's trying to finish the job.

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

Or maybe people who are against abortion could simply choose not to have one. Ya know the way it was for like 50 years before Roe was overturned.

Of course we know they just want to impose their values on other people. So people having the freedom to be able to make choices for themselves goes against their way of thinking.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Not even just 50 years, remedies to cause an abortion or suppress menstrual cycles have been in use for hundreds of years. Just now reading about the history apparently Ben Franklin may have manufactured a public discourse on abortion because he knew it would help sell papers.

She thinks Republicanism is genetic, doesn't she? Sigh.

It's definitely contagious, especially if you're young

Wouldn't work.Their end goal is to disenfranchise women entirely. They start by making choices about our bodies for us, they end up making every choice for us.

They want control, power, not acceptance of their views for their own circle.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

The base is so dumb, they would probably see it as discrimination and fight tooth and nail to make abortions legal for all and only realize they've been "rabbit seasoned" after they won.

That was well worth the watch. Two minutes of my life well spent, to be sure.
