I’m starting to really consider the whole “reality is a simulation” angle, and whoever is running the game has put in a cheat code. (not really really, but more than I ever have before)

It’s like a shitty unrealistic movie plot has unfolded over the past decade. And every time it looks like maybe things are heading back on track, BOOM, we get another event that just turns us right back on the track to crazytown.

I’m having a hard time coming up with anything I can cling to in the hopes that Project 2025 isn’t going to go exactly as planned down to the last detail.

How are we not going to become real-world Gilead (but with more racism)?

    Buy a gun and practice marksmanship, you limp-wrist coward. Complain online while doing nothing and watch the world burn or do what I do and join an LGBTQ marksmanship club, protest, give back to local community with volunteer hours,.

      Please don’t demand that people casually buy guns. They are a massive responsibility and require total vigilance of all safety rules at all times when being handled or carried. Get armed, but only if you’re willing to handle the responsibility. Not everyone can own a gun, it’s always best to advocate for educated self defense with an emphasis on de-escalation.

      Using a slur and telling someone to join an LGBT group is certainly a choice.

        Is “limp-wrist coward” a slur? Seems more like an insult of someone’s habits.

            Complaining about politics online instead of taking action.

          On the off chance you’re somehow unaware, limp wristedness is an extremely common negative stereotype of gay men.

            I can only say I was genuinely unaware of that. I’m now curious as to the chances someone might “invent” such a phrase aimed at political keyboard warriors, not knowing its homophobic nature.
