These are the same psychopaths.
 
We may be witnessing the Westboro Baptism of the GOP. The goal may be not policy, but to get money through controversy and red meat, and by inviting this very backlash.

There have always been people on the Far Right, even beyond braindead wingnuts like MTG and Gosar, who feed off the movement without advancing it. They generate an immense amount of publicity and attention primarily because their hate-filled rhetoric and insanely surreal assertions generate backlash, which they monetize as clicks.

Maybe the entire GOP is moving towards this. If so, it is in their interest to be in the opposition and never to have responsibility for policy, because it is far easier to talk trash when you can be utterly irresponsible.

I vote we enable the parts of the RWNM that want to lose because it is better for their business model. The irony is the greatest factotum of this strategy was Dump, who would have been so much better off just losing, claiming theft, and living the rest of his life off that lucrative poutrage. But Dump being so incompetent (and Hillary so hated), he f-cked up and actually won an election, and now he would go to prison for it if we had an actual justice system.

Last year, the Dems backed John Gibbs in the primary, who ended up losing in the general. John believes the 19th should be abolished. Then Republicans tried adding anti-trans rhetoric to Prop 3, which passed overwhelmingly, and the GQP lost the governor's chair, the SOS, the AG, and both chambers of state legislature. If I had $20 to burn as a joke, I'd give it to "Krazy Kristi" just to watch her bungle again in 2024.
 
Opponents of Ohio's Prop 1 are focusing on parental rights, saying the proposal will allow trans kids to get surgeries, etc.

Eh. "Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake."
 
Honestly, I find that troublesome. You all know where I stand on this issue (well, "these", since we're discussing abortion and trans rights). While support for legalized abortion is strong and a winning argument for Democrats, support for trans issues are much less solid. If these ghouls can conflate the two, it may be enough to spoil the vote. I very, very much hope not, but...
 
Perhaps, but I suspect that 99% of the suburban women who turn out for abortion rights aren't the ones being all TERFy on trans issues. I may be wrong, but my impression is that most TERFs are conservatives who use concern trolling about feminist progress and 'real' womanhood as a cloak for their bigotry.
 
Some, likely, sure. I base this only on those that I know, so small sample size caveats like you read about here...

but the handful of "mostly socially left but anti trans" people I know come in a few flavors:
  1. Pro choice, but have bought the lie that "trans people" are going after their kids.
  2. Havent thought about it at all as it doesn't impact them in any way, and only really hear the anti-trans side so that's them.
  3. (Much more rare) So suspicious of white people that they think being trans is white people trying to appropriate minority status from them.
The rest are just ignorant bigots.

Part of my optimism is the GQP in Michigan tried the exact same tactics last year for Prop 3 and it passed by double digits. I also know the Ohio GQP tried this earlier and it did not succeed.
 
Coming soon in the GOP platform.

The Iraqi politician who introduced the bill into parliament is absolutely certain: Any behavior that deviates from heterosexuality is a danger to his country. This is why, in mid-August, Raad al-Maliki introduced a bill that would amend Iraq's "Law on Combatting Prostitution" from 1988 to make same-sex relations a crime, alongside any kind of expression of transgender identity.

Should al-Maliki's bill be passed, same-sex relationships in Iraq would be punishable by death or long prison terms. The bill also pertains to transgender women and sets a penalty of up to three years in jail or a fine of up to €7,100 ($7,700) for anyone who "imitates a woman." The latter is defined as wearing makeup or women's clothing or "appearing as a woman" in public.

And again we see that heterosexuality is the only form of sexuality that must be enforced.

I've always been curious about the level of debauchery that is present in other, non-christian, fanatical religion. Specifically along the lines of what Christo-facists do here in the USA.

Like the famous line from a country song: "Five card poker on Saturday night, Church on Sunday Morning!".

Like those in the "ruling demographic" in the other religions have the same level of hypocrisy, right? I'm sure many are true believers, but I'm also sure that some just go along to be part of a group.
 
I'd be willing to say everyone who identifies as a Christian sincerely believes in some sense. The vast majority likely believe in the cowardly conservative Pascal's Wager sense -- "Oh, Bluto, we might get in trouble!" That's likely always been the case -- the vast herd of humans of bovine intelligence analogize from their pappy whupping them as a child to Sky Daddy withholding the rain because they played with their winkie wrong. The craven Lewis-Chesterton bully boy Christianity where you puff out your chest and say "no contraception -- pregnancy is God's punishment for spreading your legs." That's maybe half of all Christians -- the dimwits and authoritarians.

Are they "believers"? I mean... they believe in the same way all religions have always terrorized large portions of their flocks. Pure Skinnerian Behaviorism. They trip over the first step on the Maslow Pyramid. We have them right here on the thread. They speak in cartoons. They self-ID.

While it's just an accident of birth that they are Christian -- they would have sopped up any faith their dad beat into them or their brood sow mewled about from Islam to Soviet Communism -- they have a "religious" sentiment in the same sense the horse fears the whip. And TBH, after almost a lifetime of wanting these people to be freed of that, the last decade plus has taught me there may have been wisdom in terrifying these dopes into cowering servility. Left to their own devices, they actually are rapists, murderers, thieves, criminals, and, for lack of a better word... conservatives.

I was speaking to the common masses that say on thing in Church (or temple or mosque) but then live their life the exact opposite.

Like the Southern Hillbilly who goes out and parties on Saturday night, but shows up Sunday Morning. They acknowledge the contradiction and bask in it. They don't believe in church as a spiritual sense, but 100% believe in it as a part of society/social culture.

Like do these types exist in Muslim culture? Why does Evangelicalism get to flaunt their hypocrisy while Muslims, Hindis, and others are actually beholden to their beliefs.
