Saying goodbye to twitter (aka shitter), but you can find me online where the sky is blue. Same handle, mathrassa. Hoping to see all the sane people there. Also, don’t forget to vote. ✌️ 💩
I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.
Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.
The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.
If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.
The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.
What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.
Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.
Today, Donald Trump declared that there are only two genders: male and female. This statement disregards the lived experiences and identities of countless individuals who identify outside of this binary framework. As an advocate for LGBT rights, it's crucial to emphasize that gender is a spectrum, and everyone deserves the right to self-identify and be respected for who they are. Such declarations undermine the progress made towards inclusivity and equality. It's essential to continue educating and advocating for the recognition and acceptance of all gender identities. Everyone's identity is valid and deserves respect.
Your child did not choose to be trans, but did choose to be honest with you about it.
Showing unconditional love and acceptance will have a huge positive impact on their life.
Imagine being Canadian and thinking Trudeau was a dictator then supporting Trump who’s literally trying to annex your own country. That’s a new level of stupidity.
it’s honestly so funny that I had to read takes on here for a full month about how Christy Clark is an undefeatable secret genius who only knows how to win elections, & it took her all of ten seconds on the national stage to trip over her own shoelaces & fall into an open manhole
@christyclarkbc You mispoke? You said you never joined the party, and then you actually did? That’s not misspeaking Ms Clark, that’s called lying. Want to know why people loath politicans? It’s honestly behaviour like this
