They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.

Yeah I'm in the same boat with lengthy scrapped response. We're at a point that's demonstrated there is no solution to arguing with idiots, short of buying media outlets and correcting the narrative globally. People aren't willing to be persuaded by discussion, even with their own families. It's a signal-to-noise issue where the noise is all of the media propaganda that overpowers the signal of real world around them.
Being a gay ambassador isn't going to change any minds when the recipient gets bombarded by hate speech 24/7 on their favorite news outlets. So I think people should just be themselves and society has a responsibility to fix itself.
I know it's not a good answer, I don't think anyone has one or there wouldn't be a global rise in fascism. But it comes off as victim-blaming to put the responsibility on the oppressed, rather than the rest of society to fix it.
Apparently the balance was supposed to be one person with good faith checking one without. Now we see what happens when every dumbass stands on the corrupt side of the balance.
I was just coming to terms with that, but now knowing he has 3 more days per year to plan than I do... I'm starting to get concerned again.
You're right if the goal is to convince someone of something. But why is it the job of the gay person to talk to the conservative village in "the right way" to justify their existence?
More generally, why is it always the oppressed who have to try to rationalize and normalize themselves for a chance at being accepted in what is also their society?
I have no room to speak since I'm not fighting any of those fights, but even I get infuriated thinking about people needing to talk rationally about why they should be accepted.
You can tell it's a crazy sci-fi galaxy because the year is 3 days longer than ours. They really went wild with these ideas sometimes.
Why does her face look like she's about to milk us too?
All of this hopefulness assumes they don't erode voting rights over the next 4 years. And they've had plenty of time to stage exactly that, including captured courts when anyone fights those new laws.
Aw man, I want giraffes playing poker.
I'd argue against the word "earn" even. One cannot earn one billion dollars at all.
Nobody deserves $1 billion when it would take a teacher about 20,000 years to make the same amount. And it's not earned if it's not deserved.
But that's just semantic ranting, you're right.
When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.
