Seriously, the left is a major threat to women’s rights. It’s really scary. I hate to be the person that says may Biden be blocked from office, but I am far more afraid of my side when it’s a rabid cult.

It’s a joke over the all matching blue-green color and both being wives.

I read an interview of Melania saying she wore that jacket because the media hounds her. It was poor planning on her part.

I wasn’t criticizing what Jill Biden is wearing, I’m just saying it’s a coincidence that she’s dressed like a wife from The Handmaid‘s Tale and the left with the trans are going to erase women.

I also peaked left at the same time I peaked trans. I peaked left when SJW’s wokespeak started to sound misogynistic, racist, elitist, and classist while coercing speech with pronouns. Thank goodness for radical feminism using a traditional class analysis, it’s been my saving grace.

Rationalmind · 2020-06-29T22:44:22+00:00

I re-peaked today with Reddit’s mass banning of women.

It’s sad that this type of objective fact is brave and bold.

Rationalmind · 2021-07-20T15:17:16+00:00

It’s funny when you consider the First Amendment was adopted to prevent the chilling of political speech. Political speech is core speech. Big Tech and the censorship online is anti-American.

Typical misogyny.

This is an Orwellian math problem.

The right is generally the controlled opposition. The left are the useful idiots. The free thinkers are the uncontrollable threat.

I think you’re overreacting or trying to mind read Carlson’s intentions? I generally don’t like Tucker Carlson. He does fight back on the Woke issue, so we’re aligned in that sense. He’s not my “ally” and I don’t use the language of war.

I don’t trust anyone on the corporate media. I think you might have bought the narrative that Carlson is a white supremacist? Do you know this of your own personal knowledge and research of the facts?

I’m not scared of some Tucker Carlson segment. We can share in common our resistance of trans. No one needs to be a loyal fan of Carlson.

I imagine that the children are still there.

I don't think they are. There are a certain amount of children where the government can't find their parents, but I hope you are not under a false impression of the facts.

My first act would be to free the children

Considering the Obama administration intentionally built the cages to separate children, assuming this were still happening (which it's not), I don't think Biden would change that policy anytime soon.

From the AP:

THE FACTS: The reference to cages is misleading and a matter that Democrats have persistently distorted.

Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border. They are chain-link enclosures inside border facilities where migrants were temporarily housed, separated by sex and age.

At the height of the controversy over Trump’s zero-tolerance policy at the border, photos that circulated online of children in the enclosures generated great anger. But those photos — by The Associated Press — were taken in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack Obama.

When that fact came to light, some Democrats and activists who had tweeted the photos deleted their tweets. But prominent Democrats have continued to cite cages for children as a distinctive cruelty of Trump.

. . .

The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history.

Rationalmind · 2021-01-21T16:58:43+00:00

Yes, I feel the same way. Kamala had pronouns in her Twitter bio and introduced herself in a debate as she/her/hers. Joe has been pro-trans the whole time and promised to bring back the Obama executive order interpreting sex to mean gender identity. The dems on Ovarit doesn’t make sense to me.

Rationalmind · 2021-01-21T08:45:02+00:00

Same here. I can’t handle the pedantic partisanship anymore. The Woke really made me jump ship. Now I’m on my own raft in the water while the two warring ships destroy each other. The dem ship has the TRA and Woke cancer that is sabotaging the boat from within.

Wake them by telling them they seem emotional and not rational. Then ask them to critically think. Adopt as needed.

You need to force reflection.

Rationalmind · 2021-01-12T09:22:20+00:00

No! I have the wake word. Modify as needed.

For men, you say “I feel like you’re emotional about this and are not thinking rationally.”

Think about it, they are being manipulated by their emotion, you can’t appeal to their head until you wake them by forcing reflection. Remind them of who they are.

I hope it works for you too.

Rationalmind · 2021-01-09T06:24:07+00:00

Agree. It feels so bizarre. It’s not right. The thing I can’t shake is that for months they told us everything about the post election including a coup, but the polls were obscenely off. It’s like 9/11 when Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz said in a 2000 letter that they needed another cataclysmic event like a new Pearl Harbor and then 9/11 happened and there was a pretext to proxy war.

Something is up ya’ll.

Edit to add link. Do they honestly think we consider the storming of the Capitol as something as heart wrenching as Pearl Harbor or 9/11? These psychopaths really do not understand how much people dislike them.

I am a straight woman with a gay brother so follow this sub for discussion topics.

I watched the episode and was perplexed by Gottmik. I read this article and spotted the hypocrisy.

“When I was a child, I only wanted the Happy Meal with the boy toy, and I only wanted to wear the boy uniform to school.”

Compare to, “I loved feminine things and had feminine articulations.”

Rationalmind · 2020-12-18T00:51:07+00:00

I realized how misogynistic and bro-y TYT was when they made fun of women like Becky's, Susan's and Karen's. Just use the word "btch" if you want to call women a btch. Don't code it in first names and proclaim you're woke when you're anything but. TYT is no friend of women. I support Tulsi.

Donald Trump did not drop a nuclear weapon on Afghanistan.

Frankly, not hearing about Israel and the aggression Israel faces has been a nice reprieve. I’m glad that the Israelis are forming allies in the Middle East. If Americans don’t have a need to be in the Middle East because of it, all the better.

Rationalmind · 2020-10-19T01:57:05+00:00

... Trump has brought unprecedented peace to the Middle East. The message he ran on was to end foreign wars abroad which is what the populist side of the conservative movement wants too. Spending in America and not abroad iirc is what they want.

Agreed. Also from what I could tell the protestors were not good at wearing masks. About 1/3 weren’t in a mask and another 2/3 would take them off to scream, do an interview, or just adjust their comfort.

Obama didn’t sell out, he was exactly what you’d expect. He and HRC had almost identical views and policy positions. Obama never ran on a progressive platform. His marketing of the campaign was “hope” and “change,” but that was only aspirational. If you looked at his record, it was clear he was an establishment neoliberal Democrat. I think what amazes me now is when people talk about Obama like he was such a good president. Obama was a very average president with decent speaking skills.

There are actual white supremacists posting anti-Semitic and anti-black trash on the politics page of this website. I really can’t get behind hate and extremism.

Rationalmind · 2020-07-04T02:58:13+00:00

A conservative backlash is the natural consequence of liberal extremism. Then the conservatism will become extreme, for example, the evangelical Christianity during the Bush era. Eventually the pendulum will swing back towards liberalism, which will become extreme again overtime. Repeat this cycle ad nauseum. Humans seem to have major struggles with the concept of moderation.

It’s really unfortunate that neoliberalism and neoconservatism are both economic right. We don’t have an economic left.

I get the frustration with the current liberal extremism. That said, I can’t bring myself to vote the big R because any support for workers doesn’t come from conservatives. In a time of a viral pandemic and a historic depression, too many people will need help from the government.

Putting a slice of lemon in your water as a heterosexual man can make you non binary.

A Neo-nazi heterosexual man who wants to kill gay and lesbian kids but likes to wear pink socks and helps his wife around the house with baking can technically be more "queer" than the gay and lesbian kids he's chasing with a knife.

This is exactly the argument. It’s rooted in backward stereotypes of men and women.
