People who vote for "freedom" sure love taking other people's freedom away, don't they?

[–] Shhalahr@beehaw.org 17 points 1 year ago

They mean their freedom to control everyone else.

Don't tread on me treading on you.

that's the freedom they're talking about. they see other people having rights as an affront to their freedom.

Politics playing doctor. These people are just assholes who want us (trans folks) to die.

Too fuckin bad for them. This has only emboldened me to distribute Titty Skittles for Halloween.

What’s impressive is how they have gerrymandered the state to have this kind of majority in a state with 20% more registered democrats than republicans (36% vs 30%, with 33% unaffiliated)

My tired brain accidentally read this as "anti-trust" laws and was surprised but excited, but then was confused reading the comments. Then I reread the title and was like oh fuck, this is messed up as hell. My excitement died in .01 seconds.

Seriously fuck these people. They are more obsessed/concerned with trans people's genitals than actual trans people...

I hate upvoting this kind of shit because in my brain upvote = like. Hate the news, but love Erin’s reporting.

What's the deal with Tricia Cotham? Any locals or anything have some background as to why she switched parties?
