    While I’m in none of these groups, having survived the rock’n roll-, black mass- / satanic(1)-, killer videogame-, terrorism-, social justice- / SJW-, safe space-, socialism-/communism-, antifa-, cabal-, satanic(2)-, CRT- and woke-panic, I feel underrepresented.

    Little did they expect the black, gay, trans Muslim, with Chinese heritage, who was a former MS13 member, but who also got out of it and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to start a career in science.

    Panic grips the RNC, people screaming, foaming at the mouth, scrawling “the end is near” in the blood of an intern on the wall. Pure chaos.

    This is actually quite progressive. For decades they only blamed blacks, then also a few decades gays and “communists”. And now they actually have a new thing every year. They are moving forward with society, always staying up to date. It’s like conservatism, but for the fresh cool kids.

      We’re still getting blamed often. I haven’t in a month or two, but normally I listen to a podcast called Knowledge Fight which critically analyzes Alex Jones and a few similar grifters in a taking them in full context way(generally outlets miss the truly heinous stuff Jones says for quick soundbites, and he uses it as a defense to his audience).

      Now you may think ol AJ isn’t relevant, but you still see right wing talking points come either early on his show or he repeats them quickly. He keeps basically a “rogues gallery” of people to blame for whatever, and BLM, Jessie Smollet, Obama aren’t always on the list, but at least one of them shows back up monthly, along with Antifa, Soros, Klaus Schwab, communism, Bill Gates, vaccines, trans people, gay people, China, etc

      It’s not that they stopped blaming black people (and never stopped blaming queer people), it’s that they have so many buzz words to swap us out on rotation. They haven’t forgotten though. They still hate us.

    For a party that thinks itself as a pillar of strength and power … they sure do spend a lot of their time in perpetual fear.

      Discovery was IMHO the most inferior Star Trek, but they nailed this idea when they described the Terran empire. This strong, incontrovertibly evil, imperial monster was born of, and lives on fear. A version of humanity that gave up on trust or hope and became the worst version of themselves.

          I felt it was leaning too hard into the grimdark and action for my liking. But that’s just my opinion, and there’s lots of room for taste. My husband’s favorite is Voyager and I think that one is less well regarded so to each thier own.

    See they’re barking up the wrong tree with gays and trans. No middle class conservative white family ever had their kid sit them down and say “mom, dad, I’m black”

    Gays got pounded even before 2016. W and his marry men of assholes were going after gays and gay marriage during his term.

    Actually now that I think about it I’m pretty sure Republicans were scapegoating gays as far back as Reagan.

          Well said. So in World War II and the Civil War, we should have just talked the enemy down, right?

          Surest thou jest…

            As long as atrocities in the past continue to justify atrocities in the present, there will be no end to atrocities.

              Well if we did just try to talk them down we’d all be speaking German right now. Well, not me, my African American blood line would be extinct.

                What’s wrong with speaking German? It’s the language of Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Einstein, Planck, Gauss, Leibniz, Hilbert, Marx, Nietzsche, Luther, Kant, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein… the list goes on and on.

                Are you really gonna shit on all of that because of one failed Austrian painter with a funny mustache?
