My apologies, It does suck to mention things in good faith just to see they are so easily forgotten.
Those are lies. Quite sad someone like you would harbor such paranoia. I'll chalk that up as delusional.
You can frame it as shitting on a minority group, I will frame it as making sure our children are not exposed to "barely 1/5" of whatever disgusting filth your side insists on making available for young children. (My dad has a bigger pee pee than yours) Sad that you would laugh at sane, level headed parents showing they have a steadfast desire to try and protect their children, but it is understandable at this point.
The feeling is mutual my friend. See: laugh reaction I will add to your post.
Our schools are doing just fine without your delusional corrosive input thanks.
What you believe and what I know are two entirely different things. You arrogantly assume you are correct based on what you read and I know what I see with my own two eyes. I never question your integrity, but you willingly question my emperical knowledge. You always have, never given me the benefit of the doubt, not once. What you read in the NYT is what I have to read when you try to snag a dub at my expense. Not impressive at all, not to me at least, but who am I to get in the way of your delusions. You refuse to visit my state and I couldn't give 3 fucks about yours so...
Well at least us Floridians will know you will harbor paranoid delusions based off of what you were told by the others and not what I, personally am telling you. But at this point, I would expect nothing but bad faith coming from you when it comes to US party related politics.
I’m not going to take the time to multi-quote each section of your post, I’m just going to address what I think is relevant.
I don’t doubt that the subjective experiences you have are your actual experiences, or that the feelings you express are your actual feelings. What you have seemingly never been able to understand is that the experience you are having is not the experience every single other person is having. There are people—not just in Florida, but in every state—who, because of some factor like their income, or race, or sexual orientation, or gender identity, are having an entirely different American experience than the one you are having.
I saw recently some posters here asking you the same questions I’ve asked you before: how do
you evaluate media, considering you criticize it so much? How do
you evaluate information?
And the answer seems to be that you don’t evaluate
any information outside of your individual subjective experience. And that’s a very limited way to view the world.
I don’t need to live in Florida to oppose laws they pass. I can read the text of the laws, which I have, and have criticized them on that basis. I can see that their justifications for book bans are a lie because I can see the list of books being banned. (And btw, the answer to keeping your kids away from some small assortment of books is to
parent them, not to ban those books plus thousands more which aren’t in those categories.) I can look directly at their school curriculums. I can read the text of their abortion laws.
Your Senator (and former governor) Rick Scott had some interesting things to say about who was welcome in Florida. Odd choices of words indeed:
Communists? Is he worried China or someone like that is going to invade and seize the means of production in Florida?? Lol obviously not. “Communists, socialists, and”—my favorite—“somebody who likes big government,” are all smears and dog whistle terms used by righties to describe liberals. Ok, message received.
Apparently Florida likes capitalism (just not when Disney does it and then supports minorities), as well as freedom and liberty (just not the freedom of LGBTQ students to speak about their lives, freedom of students to read books that Uncle Ronnie D doesn’t agree with as well as their parents’ freedom to allow them to do so, freedom for parents of trans kids to make healthcare choices for them, or freedom for women to make choices over their own bodies).
You can keep that hateful discriminatory bullshit to yourself down there, I’ll pass. And I also doubt I could care less about how many fucks you do or don’t give about the state I live in. Doesn’t bother me a bit.
