It would also define anything “transgender related” (and possibly anything LGBTQ related in general) as pornography.

“Jimmy decided that he really was a woman and so traditioned to being called Tina and used she/her pronouns.” According to their vision board, this would be deemed pornography and I would be arrested for having written it.

Obviously, it’s not porn, but they are combining their hatred of porn (at least public hatred of it) with their hatred of LGBTQ and want to make both criminal offenses.

It’s not “far-right” if all conservatives are voting for this shit. These people aren’t “the fringes” of their party. They are their party.

Conservatives are vile sub-humans who seek to oppress and harm the vulnerable. They genuinely delight in the misery of others. Every act of bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, and antisemitism comes from conservatives. They are not “the extremists” of their group. They are their group.

Teach your children why we don’t do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Marginalize hate by marginalizing the hate group.

The problem is that the Republican party isn’t a “center-right” party anymore (if they ever were). They are now a far right party. In the past, Republicans would give dogwhistle support to far right causes, but would moderate their stances to get widespread public support. Now, Republicans have decided that there’s no need to moderate. Instead, they’ll simply remove democracy so that they can remain in power no matter how unpopular their views.

Once, people on the internet thought I was crazy for thinking Roe v. Wade would be overturned. And all the laws ALEC got passed were once just “crazy proposals from a far right think tank.” If we underestimatr the right, they win.

It’s not really “batshit crazy” when there’s prominent figures in a major right-wing party who would enact the proposal in a heartbeat.

The fact that some right wingers want to enact it doesn’t make it any less batshit crazy. It means that they, too, are batshit crazy.

That title made perfect sense to me, the term “vision board” describes everything in your comment

It’s really just any conservative country that doesn’t believe in progress, change or reform. Just hateful people really. The good news is they’re reeeeeally easy to pick out so that’s nice at least

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
