They really don't. They're throwing LGBTQIA+ people under the truck because it's a polarizing issue and it distracts people from the fact that the rich are fucking all of us over and capitalism is destroying this planet. It's pretty much the same with abortion rights. They don't give a shit if you're gay or trans or whatever. But making your life fucking miserable distracts us from all the other damage they do. That's all.

So we should fight for LGBTQIA+ rights, and abortion rights, but we should also finally fucking start to EAT THE RICH.

Also suspect it acts as an excuses to expand powers. If the excuse is to do things like "protect the children", they can get some people on-board even when their actual policies do nothing but harm children.

I nominate fartographer for presledent.

Presldent is a lil different than president because you get no power. But you get a sash and you become the commander in chief of an army of 19 slugs and 1 real angry duck.

ALL HAIL PRESLDENT ELECT FARTOGRAPHER.

Thank you!

For my first act as presledent, I'm gonna lick all these snails and wait for a brain parasite! For my Vase presledent, I choose the angry duck. Also, we're married now. The duck is my wife and she's still angry.

A vote for me is a vote!
