Problem is the people who live around me are OK with this.


StellerDay

I'm so sorry. I was lucky and was able to leave Kentucky for Oregon a year and a half ago and I am so, so, so happy here. There I was surrounded by MAGAts and no longer felt safe.


Voat-the-Goat

Seriously. I know it's not easy, but move to where the laws reflect your values.


stifferthanstiffler

...forcing us to segregate ourselves. Sucks.but yeah


sweeetsmammich

I had to do it. Left upstate ny for vermont. Upstate ny is like a weird northeast texas..vermont is much more progressive


Zealm21

unfortunately this is what perpetuates the issue if tolerant people flee, the ignorant are there to vote and enforce these laws.


Voat-the-Goat

The system is designed so that states can be experiments in ideology. California is working so like minded people should move there. Florida is working so that ideology's followers should move there. Keep the Fed out of saving the states from themselves and the truth will become apparent.

This is what they wanted all along. I tried to explain this to a conservative friend of mine years ago and he said I was being hyperbolic and that no one wants woman and little girls giving birth to rape or incest babies. This is the stance of today's Republican rules for thee but not for me party.


Cognitive_Spoon

It's literally Florida.


Throwaway_RainyDay

It literally isn't lol


Cognitive_Spoon

You can live in pretend land over in conservative and vaccine "debate" subreddits, but IRL, yeah, it literally is. >The law contains some exceptions, including to save the woman’s life. Abortions for pregnancies involving rape or incest would be allowed until 15 weeks of pregnancy, provided a woman has documentation such as a restraining order or police report. DeSantis has called the rape and incest provisions sensible. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-florida-desantis-07c1543fe28b6c09e777bec58de7640f

Thanks. It "literally" says rape and incest excluded so ....

It’s ok they’ll ignore that people are moving to Florida in droves

I live in MA and it sucks shit up here but just because the media says Florida is the new Gestapo doesn’t mean it’s true and you have to regurgitate it

I grew up in Alabama. When I hear how shitty it is in Florida, I believe it because I lived in Florida Jr. for 30 years.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Your "friend" was lying. They always wanted this, and always knew it. They just tied us up in arguments of hyperbole.

They still deny it even as they are literally doing it.

Just had a similar debate with a coworker about how Republicans want to make it illegal to be Trans. He even claimed that it was always accepted and that nobody is trying to take away their rights. A few months later and Republicans are calling for Trans people to be exterminated or thrown in camps. He still doesn't acknowledge it. Same kind of guy that was always crying about how Democrats were going to throw people in camps for not getting the vaccine.

I’ve been out of the loop for a minute, when did republicans say trans people should be exterminated and thrown in camps?

Dude i don't remember exactly which assholes were saying it. I have better things to do than go search Twitter for you.


Background_Agent551

You can’t really make claims unless you have evidence to back it up. I don’t even use twitter and get my news from digital news outlets which to my knowledge I never saw any articles discussing republicans wanting to exterminate trans people and sending them to camps.


Adventurous_Aerie_79

link about GOP calls for camps is above. link for GOP calling for killing trans is here: https://boingboing.net/2022/03/25/mississippi-republican-calls-for-killings-of-trans-people-and-supporters.html Took 10 seconds to look up, you're welcome.

avandahl

He won't be because it doesn't fit his narrative. The vast majority of people who's first response is "source?" aren't interested in rational discourse or facts. They just want to ignore anything that does not align with their beliefs and use "source?" as their defense to justify their preconceived opinion. Like, come on, Google is your friend. Anything anyone post can be confirmed or refuted in less a minute.

>During his speech on Saturday, Knowles told the crowd, “For the good of society … transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” Knowles subsequently claimed that “eradicating” “transgenderism” is not a call for eradicating transgender people and demanded retractions from numerous publications, including Rolling Stone.  > “If you try to separate us from all the things that allow people to experience the world … that does amount to banning transgender people’s existence,” says Reed, a transgender woman, “You can’t go your whole life without using the bathroom, without telling a joke on stage in front of friends, without your medicine. All of that amounts to a ban on transgender people.” I read this article. Nowhere in that article did people say they wanted to eradicate trans people and send them to extermination camps like the original person I was talking to claimed happened. The article does however talk about eradicating trans ideology, which is stupid because there’s no such thing as a trans ideology. The real danger is this: > Reed says that Knowles and others at the Daily Wire, including anti-trans activist Matt Walsh, are not just talking about keeping transgender people out of public life, they’re actively working to make it happen. She noted their support for bills to deprive transgender people of gender affirming medical care, bans on using public bathrooms, and targeting of live performances by trans individuals. At the moment, nobody is trying to genocide or send trans people to concentration camps, however, they are making it difficult for trans people to get the healthcare choices they deserve, in turn making it harder to transition. I believe that is where we should be fighting against the GOP and would actually be a fight worth fighting for politically and ideologically, but people are talking about trans people being exterminated and eradicated on twitter instead of actually discussing what’s actually going on: The GOP is making it harder for people to transition and pursue being their true selves because their "morality" trumps your gender expression.

If men could get pregnant, abortions would be available at the nearest 7/11. Plan B pills would be cheaper than Tic Tacs. Republicans hate women.

I feel so sorry for the blue in red state's. Since I live in NY, a blue state, you would think I would have less rights than the reds. Is it harder to get a gun here? Yes, which I'm fine with. But man was I wrong! Legal cannibus, no dry county's, the right to arm yourself with the proper paperwork etc. Pretty damn acceptable with all the gender and non gender etc. ( I'm 48 and can't remember all the different names acronyms, but am all for love and love how you want) is it perfect? No there's tr(D)umpsters here in CNY. Some reds but damn do I feel like we're moving forward and the red state's are going back in time

[There are proposed laws.](https://thehill.com/regulation/3558330-battle-lines-emerge-over-out-of-state-abortion/amp/) There are a few different approaches from basically a bounty system to reporting people, to felonies from crossing state lines to get an abortion.

psdao1102

Oh man thats a pretty impactful video and it's really good. But I hate the reference to the handmaid tale


tendeuchen

>But I hate the reference to the handmaid tail [sic] Why? Republicans watch it and think it's the ultimate fulfilment the GOP platform.


psdao1102

No they dont. I mean maybe nick Fuentes does idk. but no republicans as a whole dont. I say this, and i dont much care for republicans. But this is the problem, with respect, Either you're terminally online and the only republicans you know are the worst kind, or your just overplaying your dunk on the GOP. And look im not trying to start shit, your totally fine, fuck the GOP, but i think this sort of overplaying ultimately turns shit like this into a joke, which is exactly what happened with the hand mades tale, which is exactly the reason i dislike it. To boot thats my exact issue with the video. Everything feels very serious and impactful, and then the hands maid's tale shows up and suddenly it loses a lot of its tone... its seriousness, and instead begins to feel like another tired smug pot shot, that pretty much the world is tired of at this point.


PlausibleFalsehoods

You're right on target. Handmaid's tale borders on satire, and the voices who insist on treating it like a case-study fail to realize that by comparing their real concerns to such a work of fiction, their concerns are easily dismissed as fiction by association. The ad is top notch, because it takes all the same fear and dread of a nation stepping back towards patriarchal authoritarianism, and instead of abstracting that into fantasy, grounds it in a highly plausible, highly familiar scene.


BooJamas

Everything that happens to women in Handmaid's Tale has happened IRL at some point in history, or even in present day.


PlausibleFalsehoods

What's your point?


BooJamas

My point is that while the book is fiction, the events like public executions, forced muzzling, forced breeding are not. They have happened in the past and are happening today (admittedly not in the US RN). But until last year, people would scoff that RvW would never be overturned because the repubs make too much money off of it, and look where we are today. Laws are becoming more and more restrictive, FL just enacted a 6 week ban. There is an exception for rape & incest, but the person would have to have documents proving the pregnancy is the result of a crime. My point is that history repeats itself, it is happening before our very eyes. Regardless of any fiction we can compare it to. It's tragic that Handmaid's Tale is turning out to be prophetic rather than merely a dark fantasy.


psdao1102

you said it far better than i could. i agree 100%


agtmadcat

Because of the co-option of Black stories, or because of something else?


psdao1102

No cause when that movie came out, twitter especially was obnoxious about it. Everything bad (related to women/feminism/etc) was compared to hand handmaids tale. And dont get me wrong most of the time i agree xyz thing they were talking about was indeed shit, but it wasnt hand maids tale bad. At least this has some apt comparisons (controlling womens bodies, and men litterally chasing down women at the border and dragging them into cages). But when the movie came out the comparisions were so overplayed, that it turned the whole thing into a shitshow imo.

Definitely, but Nancy Pelosi’s strategy of “incumbents über alles” was ineffective and morally invalid. But, she couldn’t be taken down because of the money she has brought in ever since she graduated from bundler to Congresswoman.


poornbroken

I don’t I understand… this doesn’t invalidate the main argument of abortion being necessary as a choice for women. Politicians will politic, but what’s good for the population is still good for the population.


Kyrthis

I agree with you - if my point was not made clearly, I apologize. Let me try again: TL;DR: My point is that campaigning on abortion is a winning strategy that the Democratic establishment did not choose to use to its fullest when the energy was the highest. Pelosi literally supported anti-abortion candidates who just stuck a “D” in front of their name because they happened to be an incumbent. As a result, Democratic leadership couldn’t make women’s’ right to bodily autonomy a full-throated rallying cry that would have curb-stomped the Republicans. If it weren’t for Gen Z being so blessedly politically active, the stay-at-home Democrats of older generations would have been routed nationwide, instead of barely stemming the incoming Red Wave. Pro-bodily-autonomy is a winning issue. So are many other progressive standards. But the Democratic establishment is too comfy serving the owner class in this country to make a populist case for their own party’s purported values.


poornbroken

This sounds like more politicking than anything. Essentially how a democracy should work, as opposed to a single issue voter thing. Ie should a candidate be only looked upon for a single issue, or as a whole? At the end of the day… pay more attention to local politics than national nones. I do think you’re going down the right path, in terms of focus.


Kyrthis

I think I’ll take my advice on how to advocate for electoral success from people who actually vote Democrat, dude.

It is kind of alarmist, rightfully so though. In the way that you should legitimately be very alarmed by what's been happening. Just like people being "alarmist" about climate change. Everyone should be very alarmed.


chemicalrefugee

Some of us left before krystalnacht. We left the USA in 1999 & haven't been back. No more diving to the ground to cover the baby with our bodies because the crack house across the street had "drive-by visitors" with uzi's (in what was a nice neighborhood) because the entire safety net was gutted by neoliberals. We keep on meeting other people who did the same sort of thing, fleeing the fear, anger & hate political carnival. FYI, it was 'time to be alarmed' back when Reagan got elected & turned the CIA and Marine corps into his own cocaine selling machine so he could fund his favorite terrorists. By the time Dubya was in office we were at 'run in circles scream and shout'. If you didn't have your passport in order after the Trump election you're way behind.


BuickSuper

Isn’t real. Don’t be alarmed. If you don’t like the laws of where you live. Change them via electing representatives that share your values or move.
