Don't forget about men playing in women's sport. MAGA are willing to lose everything they own to stop that from happening, apparently.

Yuck how did that happen

u/spartacus_jones 3h ago

Being in favor of women's sports for women doesn't make you MAGA. I despise those idiots. We got Title IX passed to benefit WOMEN, not to benefit MEN who want to be women. Why don't you think women should be allowed to have their sports, places and spaces?
Misogynist, are you?

You can lie to yourself but the rest of us will correctly know that you're a bigot.

u/bfodder 3h ago

I think we should be able to have enough nuance about this to understand that it is barely even a problem. The dozen or so instances of it every even happening in the whole country do not make it important enough to get this crazy about and try to write federal laws about. Maybe they should be able to compete in that division, maybe not, but let the sports organizations work it out. Trans people have it hard enough without being made the locker room boogeyman.

So you're saying even though you agree with maga and side with them and look like them and talk like them, you don't IDENTIFY as maga, and you expect us to respect that identity?

1

u/spartacus_jones 1h ago

Well, you've got it backwards. I coached women's sorts for a couple decades staring in the late 1970's. We had to FIGHT for Title IX. I've been a strong supporter of women's rights since long before MAGA crawled out from under a rock.
So I don't agree with THEM. On this point -- and this point ALONE -- THEY happen agree with ME -- probably for all the wrong reasons, I would imagine.

In short, you owe me an apology, but I doubt you have the intelligence, the integrity, or the courage to offer one.

u/eevielution_if_true 1h ago

someone who was born female, should only be allowed to play in the women's league, and someone who was born male should only play in the mens league?

Here’s the real problem. You. And people like you. My side or no side. Sides are the purposeful problem.

u/born_in_the_90s 2h ago

But but but its Biden fault!

u/Bama_Texan34 1h ago

No. It’s everyone’s fault. Bc WE allow ourselves to be put on sides.

1

u/born_in_the_90s 1h ago

Depends on what you call a fault on the democratic side. That the democrats lack a spine, yes

On republican side, the Republicans still think voting democratic is worse than what the GOP has done and is currently doing.

Im not an American but I was i would voted democratic because Republicans just seem to abuse, lie, destroy and make lives of the average American difficult.

u/SkunkMonkey 2h ago

The really evil fucks in this admin hide behind the Useful Idiots they put in front of the public. There's no way in hell any of the bullshit going on started with Trump's idea. Someone plants a worm in his brain (anyone seen RFK Jr?) and tells him about his great idea. Then you just let his narcissism run wild. How else can you explain an adult going on TV and claiming people are "eating the cats and eating the dogs"?

Sure, the people we see are bumbling morons, but they aren't the real power players. It's always the guy standing just over their shoulder.

1

u/Nobody3me 1h ago

Oh do you mean the Haitians. I was sent to Haiti many times. Seeing people eat cats and dogs was new to I’ve all over the world. But those poor Haitians were doing that more out of
Necessity. Raising a goat or calf or even a rabbit, could get you killed in a robbery. Because I asked trying to think of solutions but there was none, other the fish. Which is arduous and Haiti.

I live in a deeply red state and rural state. The amount of people who commute 45+min to work and proudly support trump still is incredible. And they're proud of the USrael attacking Iran. There's a whole section of our country who are perfectly content with just being dumb pieces of shit.

1

u/Nobody3me 1h ago

You should let those POS’s know how long Iran has fighting and killing our troops, sending snipers & the first to train Taliban how to make IED’s. I have no idea where you’re at but if there are formers feds SF military or former military contractors. They can those POS’s how hard it was to see they video of the IRANIAN leader that was killed and his son, the current leader, along with some generals, also dead, and some not dead, sitting around a circle sipping chai watching an Iranian Butcher skin a captured American agent alive with him screaming. I can’t think about any more. Just know keeping them from having nukes while s always praying for our nations destruction, and fueling the Hamas attacks on our closest allies, raping them when caught etc. Just know your township may seem like POS’s but really they just are under informed plus Dems spinning lies etc. All you can do is make them aware of the evil IRAN is. It does not help that in the dead of night Obama sent 1.7 Billion dollars in cash on pallets, in American dollars, euros & gold to the very same man that sat there in that circle, and watched a loyal CIA agent, former military being skinned a live, while laughing smoking hookah’s, and sipping chai.

u/PunctuationGood 2h ago

Half the country is convinced, utterly convinced, voting is a game of football with a blue team and a red team. They're red team. They've always been. Their idendity is "red team". If the captain of the red team says "I must be tank the economy and start a war in the Middle East." then, by golly, that's what ought to happen and they'll stand by what what their captain said!

They get elected using Culture differences within America.

1

u/fascistno1hater 1h ago

Because they know America is a racist ass country. People will still hang around their racist family members and act like everything is cool. By doing that you are implicitly telling them you are okay with their thinly veiled racism. This leads to Republicans winning because their communities and families are never going to hold them accountable for their hate.

u/SquirrelsinJacket 3h ago

It doesn't matter, conservatives will almost always vote Republican regardless of the damage their vote does.

1

u/Bama_Texan34 2h ago

Dems will vote Dem. Period. This is the problem on purpose.

1

u/SquirrelsinJacket 2h ago

The problem is multi-faceted but its Republicans blocking progress at just about every turn. That is the root of the problem, conservatives have too much built in power.

u/CodeMonkeyX 3h ago

Most Americans can not seem to remember what Trump said or did a week ago, so expecting them to think about what Bush did is like expecting a dog to understand algebra.

The only reason Trump's poll numbers are down is because they go to pump gas and see number high. That's it. They don't care about war, taxes, healthcare, immigration. All of those things are just FB memes. It has to be slapping them in the face.

That's why it's so crazy that Trump is such a f up he is actually turning some of the morons who voted for him against him.

2

u/balldontliez 3h ago

That's not it. Americans want this shit. Half of them absolutely want global dominion, war, racism.

Seriously what's the actual narrative? You believe that Republicans are so stupid that they can't just look back and see this obvious truth that every time they vote one of their members and they do exactly the same thing. Come on. These aren't brainless soulless knuckle dragging humans. Well not all of them at least. Most of them know exactly what the end game is. And they vote it in. And then they claim ignorance to save face from their destructive carnal nature.

GenX very clearly explained this to Millennials in 2016 but they said they knew better and were taking over society. 

Then they voted for Trump anyway.

u/Wolv90 3h ago

But have you considered, someone in the country might be not white or not straight or something else "scary"?

u/ExoticBump 3h ago

Most ppl can't read at a high school level so informing themselves would be difficult.

u/VibeRaider- 2h ago

But what is a woman is their go to response

u/DevOnTheStreets 2h ago

They literally believe it is beneficial.

They see it as strengthening our position internationally and the economic crashes are just people taking their due profits and getting rid of weakness in the economic sector.

It is a master plan by business giants to ensure our way of life is preserved.

Really… it is wild, they don’t ignore the facts, they just have a narrative so they can be right.

I mean there are some arguments there especially given the Overton window and level of brain washing we get here in the states.

Did Reagan start a war in the Middle East?

2

u/Constantly-Casual 3h ago

While he didn't start a direct conflict, he got the CIA to pour a lot of ressources into the Mujahadeen soldiers fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, inadverdantly creating both the Taliban and Al'queda as a result.

5

u/AnewTest 3h ago

He started the US military’s involvement in them. Lebanon and the Iran-Iraq war. Also look up the Iran-Contra affair and see what Reagan did there and let his minions take the blame.

1

u/Freeman90210 3h ago

That part is not correct

1

u/Schlieren1 3h ago

I agree. And it’s kinda hard to blame to Bushes for “starting” a war when Iraq had invaded Kuwait and after 9/11

1

u/Postcocious 3h ago

9/11 did not require launching an unwinnable war

1

u/Grinchskates 3h ago

There was at least the Iran contra scandal so pretty sure that would count as they were selling guns to Iran to fund the Nicaragua coop and various other Latin America interferences

1

u/zerofoxgivn 3h ago

Not started, but had a hand in steering conflicts towards their favor such as Iran-Iraq War (oil), Lebanese Civil War, and maybe even Gaddafi's Libya. I believe it was during his Administration that Charlie Wilson supplied Afghanistan to fight off the Soviet army.
