  • Republicans think misgendering people is all fun and games until it happens to them.

    Republicans think denying women healthcare if they miscarry it’s a good plan until it happens to their loved ones.

    Republicans think that having an abortion is a decision full of hate and evil until their daughter wants one.

    Republicans think that having active shooters in schools is a mildly unfortunate consequence of important gun freedoms until it happens in their children’s schools.

    But also republicans are surprised and hurt that their good republican friends aren’t supportive when they are the victim of republican behaviour and politics.

    “It’s not a problem unless it’s happened to me” is why people are right wing. It’s being self absorbed turned into a political movement for the advancement of shareholder profits.










  • I don’t know, maybe your skepticism comes across as less than genuine or something. Maybe they felt like “I doubt it” wasn’t a great contribution. Maybe they thought your doubts were politically motivated. Maybe they were just in a bad mood, but you can’t really tell from the vote count and there’s no sense pretending that you aren’t allowed to say something just because some people didn’t like it. No one is going to be convinced about your point if all you’ve got to back it up is complaints about your downvotes.

    I say let it go and get on with the rest of your life.
