What era in time do these people think R's are trying to conserve to, after or before civil rights?
Notice how the author justifies himself. He's pro-life, 2nd, ect...
This screams "I'm one of the good ones", and implies that he has internalized homophobia. Anyway, it's some next level "pick me" shit.
A "pick me" wanker.
When I was younger, I thought conservativism was just for people who are like "literally don't change anything, keep everything like how it is" I have realized that this is not true, it's all about regressing, they're all regressionists.
This fucktard doesn't realize that they're only allowing him to be a part of the club because for now, he's useful to them, perhaps influencing right leaning minorities and queers to join in and help their own slaughter.
These guys are no different from the Jews for Hitler party
Brain damage
[Scene opens on a wide, desolate savanna at dusk. The camera slowly pans over a leopard lying under a tree, its large body barely able to move. The sun is setting, casting a cold, dim light over the scene. Soft wind rustles through the dry grass. The leopard’s eyes are dull, its breathing labored.]
Narrator (soft, somber voice): In the wild, leopards are meant to stalk, to hunt, to climb. But for some, this is no longer possible. These are the leopards of the forgotten savanna... the ones who can no longer live the life they were born to lead.
[Cut to a close-up of another leopard, this one lying next to a watering hole, panting heavily. The camera lingers on its enormous, bloated body, its paws barely able to reach the ground. The leopard’s eyes seem vacant, devoid of the wild spark they once had.]
Narrator: Overfed and unable to move, these leopards have been left to a slow, painful existence. They can no longer hunt their prey, no longer climb the trees to escape danger, no longer feel the thrill of the chase. They are trapped in their own bodies.
[Cue the soft, mournful opening chords of "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. The camera slowly pans over a third leopard, sluggishly trying to rise, but its massive weight prevents it from standing. It lets out a heavy sigh, its once-strong legs buckling beneath it.]
Narrator: They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight... These leopards are slowly fading, one breath at a time. They need your help.
[Cut to a shot of a leopard staring out over the savanna. The camera lingers on its face, eyes half-closed, its expression one of quiet resignation.]
Narrator: For just $3 a day, you can provide the care and support these leopards so desperately need. A donation will help give them the chance to live a life of dignity. Help them find their way back to the wild they were meant to roam.
[The music swells as the camera fades to black, and the words "Your donation can make a difference" appear in white text on the screen.]
Narrator (whispering): Please, don’t let them suffer in silence. The time to act is now.
[The music fades out, and the SPCA logo appears in the corner, along with a toll-free number and website for donations.]
They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight…
Shaking laughing. ty.
doing this will only push me and other people like me out!
I love being republican and would never be a democrat
A bit hard to take the threat seriously when you already admitted it would never happen.
These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:
1.Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2.The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3.A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses
4.Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
5.A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Chanting 1776 wasn't a dead giveaway?!
“It doesn’t matter until it affects me” - republicans who thought “winning” would just hurt those they disagreed with.
Talking to Republican acquaintances who have lost their jobs to musk, they all say similar ideas. "I'm team Republican, so I voted R. Couldn't let the Ds win. They are the like our division rivals". Its literally a game to them, and election day is their Superbowl.
the greatest con ever played on the public was convincing tens of millions of Americans that their civil rights were a game to them. Normalizing an attitude of “we might loose, but they won’t win either”.
Us vs Them isn’t red vs blue, it’s the rich donors vs their productive workers. The vast majority of Republicans and Democrats are actually on the same “side.”
Developing class consciousness is one of the few ways out of this mess.
“So why’re you so mad? Y’all won! Think of it this way: you now have all day, everyday to celebrate!”
White gay man doesn't believe he's part of the LGBTQ+ community anymore because he sees people like him on TV... He's just now realizing that his buddies would rather not see people like him on TV.
He does not seem to be realizing it. He makes it sound like a new trend of only a few people
Sucks to suck bro.
This whole thread was ducking scary LMAO
Just one man's opinion, but I'd rather have the picture and discussion here than a link to reddit.
Did the picture not show up for you here? I'm using old.lemmy.world so i can see it on my end
I don't know why octopus posted that or how it has the most votes, because you didn't post a reddit link. I am using the Voyager app and I can see the image.
I know very little about gay rights history in the US but in a quick search I learned that the supreme court case that made same sex marriage legal was put forth by a Democrat.
Another thing is that I'm under the impression that the Replublican party is very much a Religeous party that does not reconize anything outside Men-Women relations. I'm always confused to hear about gay Republicans.
"one day I'll be that boot!"
"[...] this will only push me and other people like me out."
I mean.... Yeah.... That IS kind of their whole point!?
Typical conservative reasoning: “I don’t mind banning abortion, because I personally will never be affected”
What's interesting is that Democratic and Republican voters look at these two parties and somehow, after the last 40 years of wealth transferring upward, manage not to notice the billionaires behind both of them.
No one cares about your unique social characteristics or what demographics you fall into. They care about finding that sweet spot where you will work yourself to death but not come up behind them on a NYC street and communicate your displeasure with a bullet.
You are an ant underneath their boot.
Conservatism has become quite the unfitting term. Retrogressivism might be more suitable.
Take America Back ... to the Stone Age
I've been using Regressive for a while.
A gay republican; or, as they're more commonly known as in the LGBT community, a "bitch-ass traitor".
What a fucking moron.
Education is really lacking. LGBT+ Republicans are some of the stupidest, most selfish, and downright deplorable people in conservative circles. They post these goofy ass posts like this as if they should be immune from the issues everyone else in our community is fighting to protect. "New" Conservative movement my ass that would defeat the point of conservatives.
Acting like these people aren't trying to destroy the efforts of progressives from the last 50+ years because that is the "Great" in MAGA would be hilarious if it wasn't pathetic. I get that these people are emotional and political masochists but they need to take it home.
whats funny to me is this guy is gay and is openly admitting to being pro life and in favor of the 2nd amendment. making him fully 100% liberal. yet he doesn't like liberals lmao. it always amazes me that people don't know the literal definition of what a liberal is.
