Opinion How does it feel to be a democrat right now?

[BFoe]

You are propagandized if you think taking of human life is health care, you think the human soul does not exist.

You are propagandized if you think falsifying business records is a crime against the american people.

You are propagandized if you think the issues with immigration don't effect the population negatively

You are propagandized if you condemn Trump for groping women but are cool with Biden sniffing kids and showering with his own children

You are propagandized if you paint half the country with same brush acting as if everyone one side unilaterally supports any given issue

You are propagandized if you think anyone supports sexual assault

You are propagandized if you don't feel safe depending on who the president is

You are propagandized if you think you aren't safe based on your sexuality while living in the most open minded country on the face of the earth during the safest time for a member of the lgbt in human history.

You are propagandized when you spout all this crazy bullshit and fail to realize how radical you are

Abortion is the medical handling for a cancerous pregnancy. Abortion is the medical handling for an ectopic pregnancy. Abortion is the medical handling for a partial miscarriage. You can practice whatever religion or have whatever spiritual beliefs you like—but stop weaponizing your religious beliefs to deprive people of healthcare, and hurt them.
And btw—I don’t know your religion, but I’ll assume by your use of the word “soul” it is some Judeo-Christian religion. The idea you are putting forth is not found in the Bible, and has been negotiated and renegotiated with over hundreds of years.


Submitting illegal slates of fake electors, stalking and harassing election workers, and inciting violence to overturn an election are all crimes against the American people. I was one of those voters that POS tried to illegally disenfranchise. You may not like my politics, but I’m a legal registered voter and I’m entitled to have my vote count.

You can address immigration issues without scapegoating immigrants. Spreading lies about them flooding out insane asylums, or eating pets, hurts people. And it’s not necessary to addressing immigration policy. It’s hateful and cruel.

If you can’t see the difference between a dumb “sniffing hair” meme and someone caught on tape admitting to groping women, or found liable of sexual abuse in court, you’re even more lost than I thought.

When the POTUS in question considers certain Americans as sub-human vermin and threatens to “root them out,” those people have every right not to feel safe. When MAGA legislators pass bills that force post-op trans women to shower in men’s locker rooms or use men’s bathrooms, they are right not to feel safe. When Trump threatens to end TPS status for Haitians, they are right not to feel safe. When they appoint judges that give the government the power to make women wait in the parking lot until they’re near death before getting healthcare, those people are right not to feel safe. People who fear that they may get ensnared—rightly or wrongly—in mass deportations are concerned they’ll be wrongly targeted or treated inhumanely, and they are right not to feel safe.

As for being the most safe time for LGBTQ people? It could be if we didn’t have your shitty candidates and policies to deal with. From banning books, passing laws to silence them, trying to deny them Title VII discrimination protections as we saw a couple years back, are all hardships they have to face because of the candidates you support.

I didn’t say everyone unilaterally supports a given issue, or supported sexual assault. I said you have all had to bargain and negotiate these things in order to justify supporting someone who did all these things that Trump did. If a person says for example, “I know Trump says racist shit, and hurts and gropes women, but…” then you are negotiating. You are making excuses and justifications for why you are supporting someone like that. If you love his economic policy but he also plans to hurt these people I’ve mentioned, then a vote for Trump is a vote to hurt those people. Period.

Fetterman had a stroke and suffered brain damage. I wouldn't use him as an example of much

Funny that was what the righties were saying here back in 2022 when the DNC pushed for him to run for the Senate

You video there argues that bible wasn't against abortion but it also references scriptures that mention the soul. That guy is a grifter, funny how he completely ignores the 6th commandment. You know damn well that the majority of abortions are not cancerous pregnancies ectopic pregnancies or partial miscarriages. It would be hard to argue that abortion an already dead or dying fetus is murder. Killing the fetus as form of birth control is murder, it is not health care I do not care what anyone says. You can hold the position that you are fine with this form of murder, just don't lie and call it health care. You don't believe in a soul we have established that, but lets just for the sake of the argument say that you do, at what point does a fetus develop a soul ? How many cells have to divide for the soul to show up ? Those that argue for late term abortions and still believe in the human soul are essentially arguing that the soul enters the body as you come out the womb ?

The argument that Judeo-Christians don't believe in the soul or have been arguing about it's existence is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. It's kind of gross pretending to be a religious expert when your only goal is attacking the religion using it's texts. Ever heard of the holy trinity ? One of the most basic foundations of the entire religion... but no they don't believe in the soul.

That being said buying into this doesn't even come close to the stupidity required to buy into the Jan 6th narrative. If it bothers you so much why do you also call out the anti democratic practices of the party you support ? Either call it all out or sit down and shut the fuck up.

Trump being caught on tape groping women is gross as fuck, pretending that Biden on VIDEO tape doing shit that is equally creepy to CHILDREN is nothing more than a meme is fucking disgusting. Nevermind the fact that you disregarded the shower scenario. Very gross.

If you are in the country illegally, or have broken the law in any other law you SHOULD be living in fear. You knowingly broke the law without concern for anyone but yourself. If you didn't break the law, did nothing wrong then there is no reason to be living in fear and if you are then your own foolishness is nobodies fault but your own.

At this point the LGBT is a protected class afforded more rights and protections than anyone else. If you feel unsafe in this situation you never will. If banning books(sexual material in school libraries) makes you feel unsafe you are a complete and utter fool.

Do you not see the hypocrisy in calling out one side for making excuses for their candidate while doing the same thing yourself ?

@BFoe

what a better way to demonstrate your cowardice and stupidity than to laugh react the response to your novel length post instead of even attempting your own rebuttal.

- Being a democrat right now. Is like when you're taking a hot shower in a cold day of winter. Sudenly the eletricity goes off, the water gets really cold, and you cant find your penis anymore, because of the shrinkage!

Troll ^

It's easy to troll a Trump fan. Just mention some facts about Trump and they lose their minds. This is known.

 

[Deleted member 592570]

Abortion is the medical handling for a cancerous pregnancy. Abortion is the medical handling for an ectopic pregnancy. Abortion is the medical handling for a partial miscarriage.

You have to come from a different angle when 99% of abortions are just women who don't want a perfectly healthy kid.

And I say that as someone who thinks women should have access to abortions.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

Aren’t you the same dork who got your feelings hurt when I pointed out that Musk has suspended the Twitter accounts of journalists and in-suspended the accounts of neo-Nazis, and felt the need to @ me about it?

I don't think so. But it's possible i guess

 

[LangfordBarrow]

I don't think people think that's genuinely the way to go but I don't think people take everything Trump says at face value either.

It's a weird place to be put in. On one side, you have a group of people who refuse to even define what a woman is and a bunch of followers who may be able to define what a woman is, but still feel an incessant need to come to their defense on the issue. On the other hand, you have a guy who is at least rooted in the same reality that most normal human beings are participating in but he has some bad policies. I personally will vote for the guy with bad policies over the people who refuse to define what a woman is. To me, that is a much more dangerous road to go down than tariffs.

It was a terrible hill to die on from the Democrats but I don't think they've learned their lesson with it.

Bad policies? So are you one of those guys that blames all of Trump's legal woes on lawfare? I couldn't care less about homo or transsexuals. On the other hand you have a group that's forcing their religious views on others even if it causes their deaths. The Democrats aren't out there chopping people's balls off.

where were the legal woes before he ran for president ? If he was a career criminal why wasn't he brought to justice a long time ago ? he had been in the public eye for decades prior to running.

Democrat L after L







They’re such petty bitches in defeat

 

[nhbbear]

And maybe if you weren’t so propagandized, none of this shit would be happening.

—Trump hand-selected judges to overturn Roe, and that has left women unable to get health care they need, e.g. Kate Cox in TX, or these dozens of women. This is a fact, not propaganda. This is what conservative Trump voters caused.

—Trump of course was convicted of 34 felonies and was facing dozens more. These are crimes against the American people that Trump voters saved him from, and victims of those crimes are let without justice. That’s a fact.

—Trump lies about immigrants and scapegoats them constantly. That’s a fact.

—We have Trump on tape admitting to groping women, and his supporters minimize and justify it. That’s a fact.

These differences between our two sides aren’t mere “political differences,” as conservative media lies to paint them. Trump supporters are supporters of all those things I mentioned, and have to bargain with themselves in some way to support it.
Stop supporting cruelty, racism, misogyny, and sexual assault. It’s gross.



No, this is how many people feel, and there’s good reason for it. See my above post. When large numbers of Americans make excuses for sexual assault, many women who have been victims of SA don’t feel safe. I know gay, lesbian, and trans people who don’t feel safe. I had a co-worker who is gay and HIV positive, and is terrified that the ACA will be repealed and he won’t be able to afford the medication he literally needs to live. I could go on.

If you think this is overblown, look at Ruby Freeman and what happened to her. Look at the death threats that election officials in AZ received due to MAGA lies. Look at the voters intimidated at drop boxes, doxxed, and threatened. Look at Kate Cox in TX who sued for her right to an abortion only to have the states AG step in personally and threaten doctors. MAGA traffics in threats and intimidation.

I’m certainly not about to be cowed by some MAGA dorks. But when Trump uses a vague term like “the radical left,” without being specific as to whom he means, and says they are the enemy within and are vermin that need to be rooted out, I assume he’s talking about people with left-leaning politics like me. Their goal is to make their political enemies feel unsafe and threaten them into silence.

So, assuming your fears are legit, what do you see happening to you?

 

[nonoob]

i just gotta know. how the hell are any of you still dems? i'm being serious. I mean ffs at this point.....what kind of mental gymnastics do you have to perform to trick yourselves into believing dem policies work? i'm genuinely curious. What more is it going to take?!

This was from a former dem, these are not my wiords.

"Why did I vote for him, the tr4n5 issue is huge for me. Mainly because it’s a common sense problem. I love all people and go live your life. But children and women’s sports, I’ll die on that hill.Lower taxes. I’m retired and have a lot of money invested. I don’t want the inheritance tax at 55%. Mind you taxing money that was already taxed just because I’m giving it to my daughter. That’s gross, more than half?!?!?
I don’t want the government printing money they’re not even using for Americans.I want the border closed. I voted Obama because of his stance on the border, he was hardcore. Where did that go? I thought with Joe I was getting Obama 2.0, I was wrong.

The gaslighting and lying. That’s was the straw that broke the camels back. If the democrat party is willing to become honest and stop name-calling. They could win me back.

But you can’t call someone a racist who openly dated a black woman for two years before he married his wife."

 

[Gotosleepho]

Trump is making America great again and he hasn't even officially taken office. Democrats are failures.

 

[CatchnShoot]

Controlled burns, raking forests making sure water reservoirs were building desalination plants. Democrats also cut funding for firefighter when California is known for having wildfires.

Rick Caruso who ran against Karen Bass was able to save his mall by bringing in water and hiring firefighters.

They DO do controlled burns on California state land.

Raking the forest..... that has got to be one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever heard. Just in terms of the absolute scale of the required manpower. That's some retarded Trumptard shit.

I am pro desalination, but I am not an expert on the effects on the marine ecosystem...either way, a red herring at it relates to wild fires. Do you think they could just irrigate the entire state??? Nope.

FYI: Although Newsom cut 100M from the most recent firefighting budgets (2024), you shouldn't ignore that the budget PRIOR to Newsom (2018-2019) was just over $2 Billion with 5200 employees to where it is now in the 2024-2025 budget of $3.79 billion utilizing 10742 employees. ie) a dramatic increase over prior administrations.

Saving a single mall isn't quite the same as safeguarding an entire state the size of California. Great example Super Chieftan.

 

[I Am Legion]

Yesterday showed how out of touch the dems are. Schiff shit the bed so badly and embarrassed himself. The Dems focused on things that are NOT what the people care about. People care about inflation and immigration. They are talking about 2020 election still, WTF? Biden is talking about how China is a threat after saying for years "China is not a threat". The WTO, the trade deals, the globalization...this mofo is the biggest full of shit hypocrite we have ever seen in a President. His speech was an insult to anyone with a brain.

[White Whale]

This is your standard Democrat and they wonder why people are turning against them.

 

[Cartiac]

The sad thing is that the Democrats didn't lose on policy, they lost on the identity issues. Trump is not going to help people with home or rent prices, wages shrinking relative to cost of living, or student loans. It looks like he's going to backpedal even on one of his cornerstones which was immigration. Democrats did not wage the right kind of war. They should have hammered the things that are truly hurting citizens- food, employment and cost of living. But to be fair they should have been doing that before the election.

BS, The first major reason the country rejected the Democrats is because their policy is entirely identity based, assigning labels to everyone and defining their value to the party according to how they expect each label to behave. People especially minorities got tired of being dehumanized by the Democrats' constant identity based exploitation and chose to go out and make their voice heard with their votes. Of course the Democrats' response is to pull out the whips and lash them for the disobedience to dare stand up for themselves.

The second part is the FUD you perfectly demonstrate, attempting to terrorize people with completely made up scenarios of the horrible things that are going to happen to them if they dare consider thinking anything other than what you tell them to.

All that oppressive FUD works very well because people are scared and have no frame of reference to understand the other side so they give in to being controlled. The problem this time was Trump was already president for 4 years, the people actually know first hand what he did and how they felt while he was president so they can clearly see all these doom and gloom, terrifying fantasy scenarios Democrats continue telling them are going to happen are disgusting lies.

In fairness, his first term he wasn’t surrounded by people hand picked specifically because they pledged to do what he wants them to do. This term he’s only going with people who are committed first to loyalty to him. Don and his soldiers.

Irrational fear has been a tool both sides have used extensively.
