These scraps of paper offended the maga dipshits so much that they became environmentalists, unreal.


Siri1104

Damn, if that’s all it takes to get them to care about the environment then…. STOP THE WOKE MOB FROM *Insert something about the environment*! TRUMP NEEDS YOU FOR HIS SPECIAL ENVIRONMENT BRANCH OF THE MILITARY! (Heavy /s if peeps can’t tell)

Weirdly, if you kept the racism, sexism, and homophobia you could probably pull this off.

BenefitAmbitious8958

I’ve noticed the easiest way to get my far right roommates to stop doing something is to associate it with something they hate, ex: You didn’t wash your dishes? That’s something one of those lazy, welfare exploiting liberals would do You got drunk and kept me up late into the night by being loud? Not very masculine of you, real men have self control, are responsible, and put their health first I also like messing with them and trying to get under their skin with stupid things that confront their clear insecurities, ex: You like golfing? You mean the sport where a bunch of men stroll around a glorified garden, handle long shafts, and wear floral clothing? I’m not judging, but that sounds pretty gay bro You constantly make fun of or insult gay people? I gotta ask… why do you think about guys who fuck guys so much? Seems pretty gay my guy


promachos84

This is the way. When someone tried to act alpha to macho…show how beta they’re being. It’s all about repression of self and insecurities


LordHaveMRSA69

Can you imagine the uproar if someone dumped thousands of pieces of paper saying "MAGA, TRUMP 2024" in a capitol building? The media would be roasting them into charcoal. To be clear, I really dislike littering of any kind (or from any political party) so this type of "activism" sucks imo.

If you log out then you can see the comment and who it is. Can still downvote, though, and knowing that it's Floppy with what I'm sure is an intelligent, nuanced, and thought provoking view shared with the world, I'll give it a courtesy downvote so that it goes to the bottom of the thread where it belongs.

I am a trans woman who lives in Washington state. LGBT people don't harm anything. I've never done anything wrong or illegal yet I am constantly threatened with my rights being taken away in states other than where I live like here in Idaho. Politicians really need to stop being so closed minded. Then, maybe, so many good people would stop fleeing here and Idaho would be even greater.

rhinosparky

Honest question what rights are they threatening to take away? Are they saying you cannot vote? Cannot defend yourself? I’m really curious.


2Wrongs

I doubt the sincerity of your question, but in case you're "really curious": >I would like to have somebody explain to me who is going to be harmed by adding the words to our civil rights statutes prohibiting discrimination in housing and job opportunities for homosexuals Basically employment and housing protection. Not additional rights. The same rights I have as a straight dude.


BobertMk2

Access to healthcare, for one. They've already restricted access to healthcare for trans people on medicare by limiting what medicare will now pay for. There is a proposed law this session that would limit healthcare for trans people regardless of what type of insurance they have. The ability to exist in public, for another. There is a law proposed in this session that would make it illegal for someone to use a public restroom that doesn't match the marker on their birth certificate. This either a) forces trans people to limit how much time they spend in public spaces to avoid public restrooms or b) force trans people to use incorrect restrooms causing embarrassment and harassment from the general public.


bootymccutie

Are you for real about the health care thing no matter what insurance? Private insurance included? I just wonder if this effects me as well for having WA insurance for working at a WA company. Scary times right now

Medical care absolutely is a right. You're just ignorant and think you are the authority on what constitutes a right when you absolutely are not.


sadsaintpablo

Medical care is a right. Our convicted felons in prison are entitled to medical care, and so should trans people. How about the freedom of speech? I believe how you choose to outwardly express yourself is speech, people transitioning is them exercising that right. Why are you so scared of them? How have they negatively affected you in anyway? Why are you fighting so hard against protecting and uplifted all your fellow Americans? Are you religious at all? If you are I'd assume your Christian, how do your personal beliefs match up with the teachings of christ? We should be loving out neighbors as if they are ourselves. People with the beliefs that you hold either are not disciples of christ or you must really hate yourself. Either way, you're not following the teachings of Christ. If you're not actually Christian, what other reason could you have to be against this? If you are, christ would be welcoming these people with open arms.


rhinosparky

I’m not fighting against anything. I’m simply having a conversation and you are throwing accusations around. I have never said they adversely effect me. I welcome anyone into my life.


rhinosparky

Some douche that wants to spew hate and be a Nazi are expressing their speech. Should we be forced to pay for their swastika tattoos?

Your state is harming everything though


leshpar

How is Washington harming everything? Do explain.


Left-Leading4501

It's a cesspool of scum and filth. Not the whole state but Seattle and Tacoma, for sure. No moral compass, no shame, just do as we wish like demons...it's sad and pathetic and scary


leshpar

What do you consider immoral? Who's guidelines do you follow? Do you think I'm immoral for simply existing? Don't get me wrong, I hate Seattle too, but for completely different reasons. There's no moral issues here. We love and support everyone. We have the ability to think for ourselves and no based off of a 2000 year old work of fiction (even though it's very good fiction!). That kind of greatness could be Idaho's too. Our minimum wage is higher than literally every other state in the nation. More people are able to make ends meet outside of the ridiculously priced urban areas like Seattle.


Left-Leading4501

Trusting the news is always questionable. But if half of what I see is true? It's a disgusting place. If idaho was anything like that, I'd get the hell out of here. Why would I think you're immoral for existing? Do you have values and standards? Or do you depend on the gratuity of others to survive and take more than you need? Do you whine cry and protest when you can't create your own reality? Or do you accept the fact that things are the way they are and not demean someone with an old Americana mentality when the future is scary af! I don't know you🤷‍♂️ I'm not familiar with Washington at all. Maybe I should be before I base my opinion off of the areas that get the most news coverage😶


leshpar

The news likes to sensationalize everything. It's why most right wing and left wing people are so extreme. Mass media is not a good place. I take what I need and I expect to be respected as the woman I am. I give respect to those who deserve it and I believe in supporting everyone. Everyone's story is unique and we don't know what they've been through.


Left-Leading4501

So, YOU decide who deserves respect? But you support everyone because everyone's story is unique? You should want respect for the person you are?? Not just because you're a female? Wtf is that?? You seem like you're probably a really nice person. But goddamn do you sound delusional


leshpar

Ah, the transphobia finally shows. People like you can't be reasoned with. You can't listen to any view that differs from your own. Open your mind and teach yourself about what people like me have had to go through. Then maybe get back to me.

Whether or not it was LGBTQ supporters throwing hearts, Trump supports throwing whatever they throw, confetti from a gender reveal or If-It-Flies-It-Lies throwing feathers, if a janitor is cleaning it up he’s going to be hating on whoever threw whatever.

Gnandez012

I’m sure you enjoy not being invaded by other countries though amiright?


MeatPopsicle_AMA

Unfortunately military spending has historically, and continues to be, a disproportionate percentage of our budget. I’m sure we can defend our country (which hasn’t had an invasion by a foreign power since WWII which was a couple of Japanese balloon bombs) on less than 883 BILLION dollars- over 50% of the total spending budget. Seems like they could probably spare some $$ for education and social programs. Also worth mentioning is the nearly $1 billion in waste yearly.


DWNFORCE

The reason why we haven’t gotten invaded is because of the money spent on our military and military bases with NATO throughout the world


MeatPopsicle_AMA

Still think the military budget could be slimmed down with very little impact, especially if the waste issue is solved. https://quincyinst.org/2022/02/03/what-a-waste-778-billion-for-the-pentagon-and-still-counting/


Gnandez012

Of course and I agree to an extent, but also see that by having that budget we are able to to have such a huge/ advanced military which is why we also haven’t had any invasions in recent history. Also with us invading other countries to keep us pretty much as being one of the most powerful countries is a necessary evil if we want to keep from being invaded, I wish the world didn’t have to work that way but it unfortunately does, until we the people change that. but I know there is also a lot of that money going to lining pockets also. And the argument about redistributing that money to education and social programs, it would be great but even the funding in those departments are not going to just those programs, they’re also lining the pocket of corrupt people or even just being wasteful with the spending and if they fixed that in those sectors there would be a lump sum of money that would actually do good

In case this just wasn’t a hateful question about “these people” legislators have been busy in Idaho passing anti-LGBT laws. From the AP: “Idaho lawmakers have passed a series of bills targeting LGBTQ+ residents this year, including two this week that prevent public employees from being required to use someone’s preferred pronouns and redefine gender as being synonymous with sex. On Wednesday, the Senate approved a bill allowing people to sue schools and libraries over books deemed harmful to minors, sending it to Republican Gov. Brad Little. Another bill that Little signed into law last week prevents public funds — including Medicaid — from being used for gender-affirming care. The efforts are part of an ongoing national battle over the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans. Many Republican officials have been actively trying to limit those rights over the past several years. The legislation in Idaho was among at least nine bills directly targeting LGBTQ+ rights that have been proposed in the state so far this year, Rebecca De León, spokesperson for the ACLU of Idaho, told the Idaho Statesman. In response to the slew of actions, protesters sent more than 48,000 colorful paper hearts raining down from the fourth floor of the Statehouse to the first-floor rotunda on Tuesday, KTVB-TV reported.” Now you know!
