If men can marry other men, what's to stop them marrying furniture? This is a tired, old, and insane argument that gets pulled out whenever things change that "they" don't like. "They" being whoever doesn't have a logical position so they require strawmen and often appeals to a book that doesn't say what they think it says.YellowKing wrote: Thu Sep 19, 2024 9:09 am The whole furry thing is an extension of transphobia. Because it's not a leap that if you want to identify as a female, you may want to identify as a cat, right? There are "furries" - kids who are into anthropomorphized animals, but what is really just a cosplay interest has been perverted by the transphobia crowd into it being some sort of sexual identity.

I graduated in 1992, and I knew one kid who identified as an elf, and another who identified as a dragon (although the term 'identified' wasn't used yet - see otherkin.)YellowKing wrote: Thu Sep 19, 2024 9:09 am The whole furry thing is an extension of transphobia.

I'm old enough to remember when saying something like "people are voting for the enemy" would be seen as shocking and probably disqualifying for a politician, but these days it hardly seems to be noteworthy.Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday that Jewish American voters would be partly to blame if he loses the Nov. 5 election to Vice-President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate.
During comments to the Israeli American Council National Summit in Washington, D.C., the former president lamented that he was trailing Harris among American Jews.
Israel would likely cease to exist within two years should Harris win the election, and Jews would be partly to blame for that outcome because they tend to vote for Democrats, Trump argued.
"If I don't win this election — and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens because if 40 per cent, I mean, 60 per cent of the people are voting for the enemy," Trump told the crowd, citing a poll that he said showed Harris polling at 60 per cent for support among Jewish Americans.
I watched a video on this yesterday and they couldn't put their finger on this phenomenon. It was either because he had evolved into some kind of god king to the reps and nothing can happen to him, or that it is a calculated risk on his team's part by saying so much insane stuff that this kind of language just drifts down amongst all the other nuclear fallout that comes from his mouth and the "intended targets" can filter through it to get his underlying message.Max Peck wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 9:51 am "If I lose, blame the Jews" actually seems like a pretty apt Trump campaign slogan.

I'm honestly surprised we aren't there yet. And if we do get there, I doubt that THAT will be the last straw for his cult. In fact, that kind of thing is what they love about him. He breaks the norms, steps on toes, and tells the libs to STFU when they whine about it. Going further in that direction is only going to reinforce his base.LawBeefaroni wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 12:50 pmHow long until he starts working slurs into his "hilarious" nicknames for political enemies?Max Peck wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 9:51 am "If I lose, blame the Jews" actually seems like a pretty apt Trump campaign slogan.
“You’re not gonna support me because I don’t want your money. You want to control your politicians, that’s fine,” Trump said at the Republican Jewish Coalition in December 2015. “I’m a negotiator like you folks, we are negotiators.”

Trump has always indulged antisemitic tropes about Jews and money. In his pre-political days he would declare that Jewish accountants were the best because they didn't let a penny go missing.Alefroth wrote: Fri Sep 20, 2024 3:16 pm Trump was speaking at an anti-Semitism event.

Other things Trump has said to Jews:“You’re not gonna support me because I don’t want your money. You want to control your politicians, that’s fine,” Trump said at the Republican Jewish Coalition in December 2015. “I’m a negotiator like you folks, we are negotiators.”

Deplorable was far too kind.Trump: "Do you think Springfield will ever be the same? I don't think so. I'll say it now -- you have to get 'em the hell out."
Trump attacks (legal) Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, prompting "send them back!" chants from his fans in Pennsylvania
I know we keep repeating it, but even when he loses, it's still going to be rough ride. There are lots and lots of people that are really comfortable with being openly deplorable and they're not going to just disappear. They didn't in 2020 and it feels like they're even more comfortable being openly disgusting, especially on social issues.YellowKing wrote: Tue Sep 24, 2024 9:00 am I swear if this guy wins, the thought of the absolutely dark 4 years (or more) ahead of us chills me to my core.
Trump addresses women: "I am your protector. I want to be your protector ... you will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared. You will no longer be in danger ... you will no longer be thinking about abortion."
It's funny* how the current thing is to tag everything the Trump/Vance/GOP campaigns do as 'weird' since that framing has stuck and it's politics, baby! But this one really is weird in the literal sense. Like, this is just not something that makes sense for Trump to say, in any way. It's extremely weird.

Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”
...
“But we’re getting the criminals out, and we’re going to do that fast, and we know who they are, and the local police know their names, and they know their serial numbers,” Trump said. “They know everything about them.”
