  • Burn it to the ground 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    Edit- or feel free to keep taking it. Put up with the same media that between 2014-16 published THOUSANDS of articles about Hillary Clinton's emails and benghazi and next to nothing about the truth and dangers of that mutant trump. Keep taking it like good consumers. Let Billionaire agendas influence and control the narrative of your lives. Keep paying into the system that empowers plutocracy and divides us as a nation and is destroying the fabric of society and our planet just so some assholes that couldn't spend their entire wealth in multiple lifetimes can add a few more zeros onto their bank statement.



  • You need to be more clear. I don't know what the fuck youre taking about.

    Are you trying to make some weird connection between LiBeRaLs and the fact that several people in this thread are dunking on organized religion?? Because if you are, that has nothing to do with politics. That's religion. And they are very separate entities, even if there's a fuckton of conservative religious weirdos trying to push their agendas. But you can adhere to any political affiliation and still recognize that believing in magic is primitive.

    I don't think you're cut out for abstract thought. Or maybe thinking in general. Don't feel bad though. Not everyone is well equipped for thinking.







  • FUCK THIS GUY AND FUCK THE GOP

    Mike Johnson is…

    • Part of the Regressive Religious Right with close ties to fundamentalist religious groups.
    • Early on in his career he was a senior attorney and spokesman for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Conservative christian legal advocacy group that wants to outlaw abortion and suppress the LGBTQ community. Alliance Defending Freedom is designated a hate group.
    • Supports nation wide abortion ban, and an end to legal same sex marriage through the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges
    • Supports restrictions to medical marijuana and refers to it as a "gateway drug"
    • Like Emmer, he supported and signed on to Texas v Pennsylvania in an effort to challenge the election results
    • He voted to overturn those results in Pennsylvania.
    • Supports an end to military aid to Ukraine.
    • Johnson has remarked that his career is dedicated to "defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they’ve been under assault."
    • As a State Rep he sought to put forth legislation that protected people who discriminated against same sex marriage partners.
    • He voted to repeal the ACA
    • Proposed cuts to medicaid and social security
    • Voted for Trump's tax cut legislation that disproportionately benefitted the wealthy.
    • He was 1 out of 147 Republicans to vote to overturn the election results.
    • Voted against a January 6 commission
    • He reportedly does not even believe in climate change
    • One of his committees wrote a statement in support of books on conversion therapy that were recently taken down from Amazon. (So basically a supporter of conversion therapy)
    • He has opposed expanding medical marijuana access in his state and in his defense argued specifically that Marijuana can worsen some health conditions like epilepsy. (The context is important, his views on weed are outdated, he refers to weed as a "gateway drug". He went fishing for whatever he could find and take out of context to support his rigid stance. A study did find some adverse effects with epileptics, however, CBD/medical marijuana is also used in treatments for epilepsy)
    • He voted in favor of Trump's Muslim ban.
    • Has campaigned against LGBTQ rights and anti bullying legislation.
    • He has supported similar legislation to Florida's "don't say gay" bill.
    • Has referred to homosexuality as "unnatural" and a "dangerous lifestyle". He even argued in an editorial in his local Louisiana Newspaper that homosexuality would eventually lead to the destruction of "the entire Democratic system", and the legalization of pedophilia of course.
    • While working for the ADF, he supported criminalizing homosexuality.
    • He has argued in favor of including prayer and religious expression in public schools.

    (not mine, but worth sharing and adding to)
