All those gay republicans/conservatives that voted for Trump are going to be feeding the leopards well.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Pretty fuckin' weird to me how much these people think about what consenting adults are doing with their genitals in private...
These people have no lives.
I remember on some local paper's (Florida) comment section that, back when gay marriage was still being "debated" like it was something that would destroy America if it happened (just like weed legalization), one particular character kept popping up and telling everyone gay marriage was just about extremely pleasurable sexual gratification. And, I mean, really hammered on that over and over.
I kept telling him he was giving himself away, and, anyway, if it's just about that, why get married? And even if it was only about the sex, who cares? Is pleasure illegal? Dude never had any answers. I swear, his posts sounded like he'd wake up in a cold sweat dreaming about what Teh Gheyz were up to in their bedrooms with all that hot, steamy gratification that was soooo pleasurable, LOL.
There was another poster that was a lot like this on Wonkette and they nicknamed him TLM for "turgid love muscle" apparently for some of his favorite descriptions of Teh Ghey Sex.
Talk about telling on yourself, haha.
MassResistance: sounds like a Grindr WhatsApp group.
I would like to propose that we no longer have religion as a protected thing in the Constitution. Christianity only spreads hate. And the pedophiles are actually the clergy and church members.
I'd be for a much more clear amendment to pair with the First that spells out things so directly and explicitly that even the chucklefucks - the ones that still think this is a "Christian country" or that it was founded on their Jesus - that even they can read it in clear unambiguous English. Spell out that no, it is not founded on their mythologies in any way, shape or form.
Claiming that it is founded on xtianity is just stupid. No sane person would claim this, but just spell it out so that idiots can be pointed to go read it. We have ample evidence already, I realize, like the Treaty of Tripoli and so on, but this would be for the people that are very stupid and the "originalists" that like to play stupid.
Also, spell out that we definitely have freedom FROM their little book club and any other little book club besides just xtianity. All of them have no business setting laws in a secular nation. If you cannot ground something in secular reasoning, it has nothing to stand on in a secular nation.
I 100% agree with what you said. However, I want them to experience the "victimization" they always claim they experience. We need to go back to a time where the signs on businesses say "No Christians", just like the Irish & Italians experienced. Lets make the xians fight for their civil rights just like women, people of color, the LGBT+ community and every discriminated class has. I don't care if someone has a religion or not, who really cares. But these hypocrites love to shove it in our face like a violent sexual predator. And we either need to beat them back, or let the lions free for a meal.
Don't worry - everyone else being able to ignore their bullshit and having them and their stupid little rules being NOT platformed will be punishment enough, because after being granted so much unwarranted special privileges for so very long makes them feel like victims already when they are treated on an equal plane with everyone else.
Saying "I'm a Christian!!!" and expecting people to bend the knee or clap, but instead people just flat-out tell them "who cares?", "so what" and/or yawn is excruciating for them.
Not having the system recognize them for their stupid performative nonsense will also crush them. Merely taking that dumb slogan off of money and not making kids repeat "under god" in the Pledge at school will have them on the fainting couch for DECADES.
Can I also propose allowing the raiding and pillaging of Mega churches and Televangelists. It'd help keep them humble if a bunch of Viking roleplayers got to raid them without legal consequences. The copper wire in the walls alone would make it worth while.
Still shaking my head at anyone in any marginalized group that voted for this. Gays that thought they were only going after trans just thought it would be about tax cuts?
If the theocrats are given the reins, they'll eventually even get around to the likes of Thiel, if he plans on staying here. He has citizenship in at least three countries...
Hell, they'll eventually get around to Clarance Thomas and JD Vance, overturning Loving v. Virginia, for that matter!
There is no bottom.
