"Never believe that
anti-Semitesthe Republican Party members are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Theanti-Semitesthe Republican Party members have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."- Jean-Paul Sartre
I originally found this quote incredibly poignant during covid, where the approach to covid was starkly along political lines. Especially regarding the responsibility of words, we would end up with Tucker Carlson saying things like "vaccinated people still get covid, these dont work!" while any responsible medical professional would have never indicated such a thing. And obviously in the late stage of truth being "subjective", watching Fox Entertainment for five minutes give you a crash course in the responsibility of words and lack thereof.

I distinctly recall the motte and bailey they played with it too. From haitians are eating cats and dogs, to maybe its not too much of a stretch that one or two cats could have been killed by a single unhinged person from haiti because their religion is fearful of cats, and since that was never completely disproven they acted like they won on it. Then as soon as it stopped being useful they abandoned the narrative entirely.

There’s a huge effort to deliberately confuse social transition (things like names, pronouns, clothing) with medical transition (which would be things like hormones or puberty blockers at that age and not surgical regardless, and obviously a school nurse isn’t perscribing anything to anyone). But it’s easy to point at a policy saying kids can request to use a (gasp) nickname at school and say they’re letting kids swap genders. It’s hard to push back on that in a soundbite.
Though a lot of it is also just outright lying of course.
22
u/mellophone11 7h ago
A few years ago the Iowa legislature passed a law banning schools from using names or pronouns that differed from what a kid had originally registered with, unless parental permission is given, or something along those lines. The intent was to crack down on kids expressing their identity, but what actually happened was teachers were no longer allowed to use a kid's nickname unless they had express permission from a parent. I'm not actually sure they ever repealed that? I think schools just stopped following it, because it's extremely stupid.

Because they want to believe such things.

They believe transgender people are tricksy and evil, and the Democrats control everything and want to transition everyone; dumb shit like this is crack for them because it validates their emotional conclusion.

They may be dumb but most of them aren’t dumb enough to truly believe the trans “issue” actually outweighs the nationwide skyrocketing cost of living. I’m honestly kinda shocked we haven’t heard anything about the immigrant caravan that is approaching our border every two years but somehow never reaches it.
They know they have nothing so they are trying to turn a complete nothing burger that will never have any impact on 99.9% of people’s lives into a big button issue. They are completely full of shit.

"Sex change in schools, it's so cheap, everyone is a secret transsexual and it happens in a single afternoon, your kid Timmy goes to school and come back Tina. Schools are simultaneously out of budget but have the budget to do sex change reassignment surgery that takes years in the matter of minutes. And its all performed by the school nurse.
True story."
You'd have to be an idiot to believe the bleating.

For those wondering, the Trump method for debating isn’t a real method.

I mean... I'll disagree because that dumb shit sure does work on dumb people. The dude was elected twice ffs.

It's not that it works, it's that the contest was decided in advance.
And, for too much of MAGAverse, it doesn't matter what either candidate says or does at this point, as the decision's already made. My only hope is that the people who foolishly sat the last election out decide to exercise some democracy.

The thing is this isn't enough for them to lose and recent history shows that.
We've seen extensively that all the right wing has to do is make up totally bogus claims and it gets them wins.

They always have to go with their pedophile in chief's narrative on trans.

These Republican losers have literally zero successes to run on. All they can do is demonize brown people and trans folks.

Trans issues must be polling very well amongst the Republican faithful.

Nothing is won or lost until the election is over. Don't get complacent! Vote people! Get everyone you know to vote! Vote, vote, vote.

Did she actually lose the race, though? MAGA is notorious for voting against their own interests.

Nothing is lost till the votes are counted. Go vote and make sure she loses!

I would hope this loses her the race but my confidence in this country to boot people like her is sitting at the bottom of the Mariana trench.

It’s wild that republicans feel so comfortable going from lying about kids using the bathroom in kitty litter boxes at school to saying schools are preforming sex changes. It’s so fucking mind blowing they just say this shit

This explains the school sign people were confused about. The one where it said something like, "MAGA if you dropped of a son and took home a daughter, you have the wrong kid. Come back and get you son."

You'd like to think that spouting lies and nonsense would cost you support, but it seems to have worked pretty well for the GOP of late.

And this is why Trump is doing everything he can to stop the election: steal ballots, cancel voter rolls, get rid of voting machines, declare Martial law, etc. His crew know they have complete fools running the MAGA ticket in red states. Zero charisma, intelligence, relatability. They know they're screwed so the best answer is to cheat.

Fake meat is not a bad thing. Moving away from slaughtering animals for meat should be something we strive for. It is technology we will likely desperately need as our climate gets more inhospitable
But to the overall point. Republicans have stopped even pretending to make an effort. They know if you’re voting republican you’re a piece of shit and an idiot. Or the small number of ultra wealthy that actually benefits from Trump

Good ol whataboutism. She thinks it makes her look slick when in reality it makes her look like even more of an idiot.

The people voting for her don't care what is said in debates. Hell, they're probably not even aware debates are happening. They vote party lines and go to bed mad at minorities.

don't let this work. a dodge like this should cause everyone, her opponent and the moderator, to just tell her to answer and then wait.
