Let me teach you the concept of "projection".

Look at what republicans are screaming that others are doing and need to change. That's what republicans are doing.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Projection is a proven work horse for Republicans. That's why they stick with it. The oligarchs rile up the poorly educated base with bullshit and the dolts run with it. Between Russian psyops manipulation and Republican projection a huge segment of the population gladly votes against their best interests and democracy.

🤣 I feel like this comment could exist without the presumption that you’re teaching us something.

Ah yes but I'm clearly the groomer for being Trans /s

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very possible, as long as you're a republican as well!

I don't understand Republican Trans ppl, they're like Jewish Nazis, or workers who willingly support Capitalism.

Morons who think being a contrarian makes them a free thinker.

I was stuck in a car with a friend of the family who's a gay conservative. The absolute brain rot he said for that trip still hurt. He hates Metrosexuals for messing with his Gaydar and thinks his boyfriend works at a porn store secretly and will get him fired form his job as an organist for the... Catholic Church. From his childhood stories, it was an incredibly toxic upbringing where they just threw barbs at each other growing up.

That's just sad, genuinely he sounds like a miserable person

"Hmmm yes, I think I will take on the greatly increased risk of getting murdered by fascists for a slightly increased chance to abuse a child in a public restroom."

Why would a pervert pretend to change genders (not talking about trans!) instead of simply joining the clergy, becoming a cop, or running for a conservative public office?

[–] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Or just walking into the bathroom without going through all the effort of becoming one of those three things.

Just got clarity this would move the age limit for marriage from 16 to 18

The Republicans did it - they protected underage marriage!

any adult guy constantly posting about pedos is suspect

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Everyone: we should ban child marriage.

GOP: but what if we want to fuck 12 year olds?

Yeah screw these Republican monsters.
