It’s sad to see people on this forum defend and bend over backwards for Republicans

Acting like Republicans haven’t made it clear that they’ll strike down gay rights. Crazy on a gay forum to see so many shills for Republicans and the latest conservative talking points (even though most gay people are liberal and Democratic). Hm…

by Anonymousreply 145November 28, 2022 12:02 AM

What Republican talking points are you referring to? Gay people are not a monopoly, but just because one doesn't walk in lockstep with the Democrats on every single issue does not make one a Republican (or a Nazi).

Take away gay rights, OP?

That the LEAST OF IT. They want us all back in the closet. They want us not-only to not have equal rights but they want society to hate us AND deny our existence. They want any openly gay person to suffer and have no place in society.

You know how all these American rightwing bigots like to say, "At least you don't get thrown off of buildings like in the Middle East" as if that's some consolation for the oppression still in the Western world. Well, that's what they want. They want to be able to throw us off buildings if we dare exist openly... or even get caught "seeming gay" somehow.

Republicans are not "independent minded" -- their politicians vote as their leaders tell them too, which is why they do so well in the Senate and House, whereas Democrats are all over the map.

People who vote for republican ;politicians act similarly -- their brains are basically wired to pick up whatever their leaders tell them, and they vote without question.

And you think the Republicans with their "Dont Say Gay," "Parents who take their kids to drag shows should be charged with a crime," "trans are groomers" are "seeing gray"?

Perfect example of a troll trying to derail a thread about how the GOP is pushing anti LGBT hatred.

Agreed about the simplistic, black-or-white thinking. It’s bizarre that we’re expected to agree on EVERY issue lest we be called “far right” or a “British mum” or “Vlad”. Absolute morons.

There is an obvious clash of rights and philosophy between gay people and gender ID ideologues; it is only natural to see liberal/left-of-center/centrist/center-right opposition to that ideology. It’s got something in it for EVERYONE to be offended by, and this should come as no surprise at all to anyone familiar with it.

The people jumping straight to accusations of right-wing bigotry have no argument.

“Stochastic terrorism”? You might be suffering from Twitter-brain.

R110, you literally (LITERALLY!), just proved my point about the simplistic, reactionary toddler logic you use. When did I, or anyone, say that those things that Repug assholes are doing is 'seeing gray'? You are acting like those exact Repugs with your toddler logic. You just keep proving my point, you dolt.

You know, Republicans ARE very hiveminded. They vote how they're told to vote (straight R's usually) and rationalise any choice their politicians are making. I guess because the cognitive dissonance would be too much to bear.

Just look at all the media they produce. It's all flashy with trigger words to hit all the right emotions, often asking for money. They all use the same language and talking points, designed to hit intuitive thinking and pre-existing conceptions/heuristics. And it's most obvious because when the elites change those talking points, the R's all follow like sheep. The uptake of the term "SJW" as an insult, and then its rapid replacement with "Woke" was a noticeable one. The dropping of Hillary's emails for Hunter's laptop. It's literally the same themes just re-wrapped for the gullible. Gays as groomers is literally regurgitated from the 80's.

And it works because Republicans don't think long enough about this stuff to realise what's happening. They're literally being gaslit into believing whatever their political elites and pundits want them to. They exploit pre-existing schemas, update them with slightly conflicting but largely consistent information (about how the Dems are bad because....) and then they just keep building the heuristic from there. And R's don't question this stuff because heuristics are so much easier to make use of then actual cognitive thinking.

And then the MEMES. My god, they're just the most basic trash designed to draw on the comfort of the familiar and then connect that with whatever idiotic point they're trying to make. How many Conservatives have actually seen any of the media that these memes reference? I doubt many Republicans were lining up to see Brokeback Mountain (using Musk's latest tweet), but because it filtered into the public consciousness Republicans at least recognize it and feel smart for doing so.

So all the right-wing trolls can shut it with the whole "sheeple" nonsense. Take a long look in the mirror first.

Yes, R119 all of that is true about Republicans. They’re memes are simplistic and disingenuous and silly.

Their thinking is also very similar to yours whenever you encounter DEMOCRATIC voters objecting to the bad arguments put forth by activists on the left, whether in regards to racial injustice or gender ideology.

Not once do people like you or R116 or R117 address the issues at hand. You just offer an ad hominem and think that will suffice. Well, it won’t suffice. Maybe here on DL, you think you’re fighting back against “bigotry” but you’re not serious people. The rest of us will continue to discuss and debate these nuanced issues carefully and with facts and reason, not childish insults, zero substance, or apprehension of the situation.

Questioning Democrats makes one a Republican now? I thought you all were better educated than this 4th grade level thinking!

by Anonymousreply 130November 21, 2022 8:15 PM

R120. My comment is an analysis on the Republican mind set and its patterns. We could go on about Republican policy but they don't have any. Criticizing the policy of the Democrat party is fine, but nobody here actually does that. It's just more culture war bullshit and scaremongering that repeats right-wing talking points. Which, again, are not based on reasoned debate but are designed to trigger intuitive thinking and existing schemas.

R130. Defending Republicans makes one a Republican now. Especially if the positions people are trying to defend are antithetical to our very existence. If you have a look at the thread title you'd see what this is actually about. It's not about criticizing Democrats.

It's about the fact that Republicans have made it part of their platform that our existence is wrong. Just look at Texas. Defending them is like the turkey voting for Christmas.

I have voted for Democrats my entire life, but I still criticize the hell out of the party. I’m not some kind of mindless drone. How does this mean you defend Republicans???

Just so I’m clear on where you’re coming from: are you saying that criticisms of gender ID ideology coming from, say, gender-critical feminists are valid but not worthy of consideration because the issue isn’t that big a deal for one reason or another? Or do you think that there is no valid criticism of gender ID ideology, and any criticism made about it is not serious or correct or substantial and that it’s all a Republican fever dream?

R119 You're giving them too much credit. Their ma and pa voted for the white guy, so they follow suit. And in the case of female Repbulicans, they continually seek their father's approval. Republicans of color are dogmatic and really want to go to "Heaven." They also have delusions of grandeur that they're better than their peers.

A lot of Fox News Fags come from idiotic working class families that hate them. They think that gays are abnormal. and are brain washed by right wing hate media. The douche who does the NYC you are in danger is one of them.

R133. Personally, and this is only my personal opinion, I'm of the former line of thinking.

But either choice there comes to the same conclusion: the Republicans are insane and focusing on all the wrong things, in all the wrong places.

Maybe they should start looking at priests before they call us groomers. Or their politicians when they talk about inflation, since Republican elites seem intent on investigating everything other than the economy. Or climate change. Or health care. Or equitable tax reform. Or labor laws.

I will never understand why extreme right wingers would be on this forum. The only explanation is maga troll infiltration. Maga trolls believe that they should present their version of “reality “ in spaces that they condemn. It’s annoying that they think that creating sock puppets would make them inapparent to normal people.
