By now you’ve likely heard that Representative Mike Johnson—the congressman Republicans finally elected as the new Speaker of the House after 22 days of chaos—played a significant role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election, a lowlight on his résumé that is obviously deeply concerning for the future of democracy. Also extremely worrisome? Johnson’s wildly bigoted remarks about homosexuality over the years, and the fact that he supported criminalizing gay sex between consenting adults.
CNN’s KFile reports that prior to his career in politics, Johnson wrote a series of deeply homophobic editorials in his role as an attorney for the socially conservative legal group now known as Alliance Defending Freedom.
What is it with “hard labor”? Do the speakers really thing that makes them sound badass? The loss of freedom is a huge punishment already. The labor part is just letting someone profit off of human misery.
They want to bring back open slavery… Slavery with extra steps should be obvious: They want to get rid of the extra steps!
The profit is the whole point for them
That’s the point for them. They want to make others miserable who don’t agree with them, and beyond that they want to benefit and profit off of others misery.
