I guess trans people can be just as shitty as the rest of us. Don't hurt me, I'm one of you. Hurt all the OTHER trans people....

A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Damn.

Reminder for myself, engrave this in marble and bury it for future archeologists.

[–] Wbear@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Marble is famously soft (for a rock). Maybe laser engrave some metal instead?

Every conservative, from the most spiteful MAGAt to the polite nana across the street, all believe they are the exception and special. They won't be stepped on. It's all those other people that deserve it.

It doesn't matter if they are trans, cis, white, or black.

The core belief of conservatism is that they earned their place while all those others didn't.

Yeah, trans people are just people. They're not like magic.

People are dumb and easily misled, so we need to construct a more foolproof world. I'm pretty sure there's such a thing as "Latinos for Trump", lol.

A more foolproof world

This is how you get a different flavor of fascism
