Hmmm.
When I was growing up homosexuality was a crime for which men were put in prison, contraception was only available to married women, South Africa had an apartheid regime, Israel/Palestine were at each others throats and the threat of nuclear war was so imminent that most of us thought we would not see 20.
We did not fix all the world's problems everywhere. I sure hope GenZ do. I just don't quite understand how enabling the rise of christo fascism fits in with the plan.

Yes. We gave up and stopped voting. The exact thing u r arguing in favor of. History repeating.

As a person who actually is GenX and lived thru the Raegan/Thatcher years, I can assure u we were engaged.
We thought voting was pointless, so we raged against the machine. Fuck. We invented raging against the machine. It didn't work.
Voting works. Only it is not a quick fix. Like losing weight or learning to knit. It takes time and patience, and persistence.

Speaking out is one thing. Not voting or protest voting has real consequences.
The thing about voting for the lesser evil is that over time, the lesser evil gets less and less evil.
Not voting for the lesser evil results in the evil getting more evil over time.

If they're not voting bcos they don't like what is happening in Gaza they r doing it wrong.
From GenX.
We lived through what happened when the left didn't vote for Carter and we all got Raegan instead. Don't let that happen again.

Democrats want to enshrine reproductive rights and sexual freedoms in law. They r pro gun control and oppose banning of books on gender diversity and the establishment of Christianity as the national religeon.
They can only achieve those things if they win the presidency. So if u don't vote for their candidate u will get the opposite. Bcos there will b a government and u will be subject to that governments laws.

What has actually happened here is that I have evidenced factual examples of vile conservative policies and behavious that u know r wrong and can't dispute in any way that is consistent with a basic understanding of democracy, decency and human rights.

Florida schools now teach the benefits of slavery in the school curriculum. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna95418
#gop sycophants from Boebert to MTG to the orange ape himself post tweets and videos of themselves rattling on about making the US a Christian state. These r super easy to find and they r their words tweeted by them.
Roe v wade. Birth control will b next.
That's all w/o talking about tax cuts for the rich or the environment.
How can u not be aware of these things?

@npub1zx4…s6fq @npub1ks4…x88p @midway@soapbox.midwaytrades.com r u saying u support a Christian state that strips reproductive freedoms off women and believes slavery can be of benefit to the enslaved?
Those r just 2 of the 'ugh conservative' principles u endorse every time u back the #gop.

@npub1hjw…mghf, does the law distinguish between drag and other entertainments in which men dress as women? Pantomime, for example?
Is it going to be illegal for single sex schools to cast girls in the role of boy characters? If so, will it be OK to regender all the characters. So both Romeo and Juliet are girls?
I'm seriously wondering how they will make this work. If I were a parent having this imposed on my kids, I would be furious.

@npub15x4…3p3l anyone who responds to any email with a poop emoji is behaving like a spoiled child.
Civilised adults say things like "this email address is not in use please contact ...".
I support and applaud anyone who points this imbicilic behavior out everytime and i strongly encourage any remaining advertisers to rethink whether this is a company that represents their values cos it sure does not represent mine.
