I don’t pretend to know how to accomplish this. I may be completely wrong here, but two things that have to go:

• Religious thought (“faithbrain” or the Peter Pan-esque belief that things are true because you believe they are true, despite a lack of evidentiary or even argumentative support, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary)
• Social media bubbles (billionaires controlling the content people see, creating bubbles of “information” that skew the public in their favor)

There’s almost certainly more to do as well, but those things stand out to me. Also, it seems hard to believe that we could make any progress on these fronts given the current situation.

I voted for a similar measure in Colorado!

Officer pulled me out of my car, threw me over the his, wrenched my hands up behind my back… Because my registration was out of date.

No, they mean closeted gay men. Because that’s how they think gay guys should be when they’re normal.

Yeah, I didn’t know people were just giving out basic necessities. I’ve been allowing people to exploit my labor for nothing this whole time?

And that being gay was bad. It was not conveyed well in our media, and our culture was full of negative connotations with non-heterosexuality. I feel you on this one. Bi people exist, and we’re everywhere!

When a conservative asks you for sources, they do so in bad faith. They don’t care about engaging with reality. It’s a deflection tactic.

Yeah, and “womanfriend” has a real incel vibe to it.

Well I don’t know that I’d call Mike Pence a chad…

Mostly I don’t disagree with this assessment, but by now we’re talking about the boy who cried wolf. Republicans have been very outspoken with their “groomer” talk so many provably false times, meanwhile Trump and his cronies have committed a number of sex crimes and/or shown a lack of remorse for the victims thereof that it’s hard for them to come off as credible with this stuff anymore. I do miss Al Franken, though.

They’re just both narcissists.

By being kept away from interview and TV appearances and such.

The character Pie’o’pah from Clive Barker’s Imajica has a sort of “third” genitalia which can both penetrate and be penetrated. Through the story, the main character is kind of magically seduced by this, initially revolted, but it becomes a point of personal growth which helps unlock his true potential. It’s a really cool and weird (and long) story with some pretty ahead-of-its time pontification on trans and non-binary identities.

That gum I like did come back in style…

Well, see… The president he supports withholds funding unless the municipalities affected by disasters pass a purity test, so he assumes the president he doesn’t support will as well.

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It’s funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it’s hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

Grindr… That’s that app for finding hot hoagies in my area?

half the marines general population are bi and closeted

I’ve had a guy tell me he votes for Trump because he’s trying to take a balanced centrist view of things. But dude, if Trump is the center, wtf are your extremes?

We clench among you…
