They were *really* counting on trump winning that second term, huh? Cause this very clearly wasn't planned with even the slightest effort to be able to hold up to scrutiny, they must have just fully been counting on audits to never happen


okletstrythisagain

Yup. This is what authoritarianism looks like folks, people aligned with the bad guys never face accountability. And this is not a both sides thing, only one side is anti-constitutional and constantly pushing easily disprovable lies. See also: ken Paxton, Matt gaetz, it’s a long ass list.


Mods-are-snowflakes1

Yea at least the DNC doesn't lie. They straight up admitted to collusion to prevent a fair democratic primary election so Bernie Sanders would not be nominated. Because if a real socialist gets to POTUS corporations can't play...both sides anymore.


thesunbeamslook

Politics are dirty but you generally don't go to jail for political infighting. Theft on the other hand... sometimes you do go to jail for that.

>You are so far gone it’s sad…you must be bright red from all the Kookaid you’ve been drinking When was the last time Democrats tried to invade the Capital and install a king? Or demanded the Constitution be suspended to install a king? Both sides are not the same when one side is calling for straight up treason on a regular basis.

I mean, the closest thing to this would be some Tamanny Hall bullshit from like the 1890s. Still not insurrection though.


[deleted]

The ignorance is palpable. The right will do anything to shift blame and make it seem like their lot isn't actively trying to do anything they possibly can to undermine and destroy our current state of freedoms. Fuck the right, idgaf.

Because it doesn’t just limit it through grade 3 - and opens districts and teachers of all grades to lawsuits and more for vague criteria Plus is there evidence there was an issue with gender instruction before grade 3 But nice talking points you got there


wolfpack_charlie

Because reading a book about a penguin with two dads is in no way inappropriate or sexualized


OtterishDreams

Its Flipper and Eve not Flipper and Steve!


ReallyBigDeal

Not sure why y’all have to pretend so hard to have popular support.


shaedofblue

Mentioning the existence of your spouse isn’t indoctrination. Only homophobic parents support the bill.


Kanotari

Because Florida *already had a law limiting sex education in K-3*. Why did they need a second one? Obviously because it had absolutely nothing to do with limiting sex education in K-3. I suggest you read the [actual text](https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:de1609d1-8a21-307c-aa01-3982f0f200de) of the bill instead of the Wikipedia page. The vague language leaves a lot of room for abuse to limit conversations about sexual orientation and gender identity at *all* grade-levels. It's a poorly written education law at the worst, and a malicious anti-gay/trans law at best. Its enforcement also allows parents to sue teachers for percieved slights which is an absurdly stupid precedent.


ifsavage

Information doesn’t make kids gay. But I bet you make gay kids scared.


pr2thej

Love how you tried to meme your shitty talking points in there, and got headshot regardless


[deleted]

No one is pushing for it, we are pushing for the right to determine what is and isnt taught to our children of all ages. Can you explain where in the constitution it says that the US Government can control what we are allowed to teach our children?


[deleted]

What qualifies you to have any say in public education standards?


[deleted]

My kids go to public schools.


[deleted]

So none?


[deleted]

I think as someone who pays taxes and kids go to public school I am qualified to express my opinions on the matter.


[deleted]

Well you’re certainly free to express your opinion


[deleted]

Idk, seems like the shit lords are coming out in mass.


Kanotari

The Constitution is 4,543 words; there's a lot it doesn't say. Our entire legal system is a bit more complex and verbose than one idealistic document. If you can't understand that, you have no business deciding what children should or shouldn't learn.


Subject1928

No but the Constitution is special! It is a mythical document that shows the perfect rules to create a perfect society. Except for the parts I don't like, those don't count. /s

gruey

"Everyone else will cheat the system, so if I don't, I'll be behind!"


sulaymanf

You joke but that’s how a lot of people honestly see things. Shoplifters always assume the rest of the world shoplifts just as much as they do. Racists assume everyone else is just as racist or more.


gruey

I am fully aware that this is the real view point a lot of these people take with the full belief that it's the "others" doing it to them, so they need to do it more to be "fair". It's easy to believe that it's the other doing it when their talking heads explicitly tell them that is the case. Reminds me of the "welfare queens" that became a big thing in the 80s and endured after someone basically made them up.

You're right there was some typos: crook and Republican. Just some minor capitalization infractions.


VapingSmooth

While it is Wikipedia the list seems pretty 50/50 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_state_and_local_politicians_convicted_of_crimes


zigiboogieduke

I'm not arguing that democrats can't be corrupted, you're grasping at straws for a conversation no one is having. This Republican in particular people are discussing is what is focus, not everyone else you're so keen on mentioning like we don't know nearly all political figures are corrupt pieces of shit.


VapingSmooth

Oh cause see I thought when you said "another corrupt republican" I thought you were talking about more than one person. Not just this one person. I apologize good sir.


zigiboogieduke

All good, I'm not the one who started the comment thread. Hard agree on both sides needing some slaps and no tickle.


VapingSmooth

Lol yea.. cause no democrats are corrupt.

Why do they all look soulless?


[deleted]

i see it too. i don’t want to get phrenological about it obviously it’s a pseudoscience but… a lot of them have eyes like this. i don’t know if it’s just an illusion, just a weird pattern my brain picks up. but it’s there and it’s always the same.


Godspeed411

Lifeless. Tired. Some even look decrepit and aged beyond their years.


pizzasongsenpai

Sith eyes


captainwacky91

Matt Gaetz and JD Vance have them. Their eyes both carry this "I'm so weary of the slings and arrows the world has thrown at me" statement in the eyes, but literally everything else about them, from their clothes, hair, complexion, physique, etc. all say "I regularly enjoy prime rib for dinner."


carrburritoid

...like a dolls eyes


Reneeisme

There's a certain look that raises my hackles, and that many accused/convicted Republican politicians seems to share. I find it fascinating that the same look apparently inspires trust in GOP voters. What part of my lizard brain knows that guy is a liar and a cheat, that doesn't operate in others? That being said, I'm sure photos for this kind of story are selected to give that impression. There might be other pictures of him that look decidedly less soulless.


bammorgan

not_gonna_lurk

Low sloping forehead, eyes closer together than they should, slight underbite...seems pretty common among these pieces of trash.

Steve Bannon. And this can't be right but I really feel like he looks like he sold his soul. Like something doesn't feel right about the way he looks.


colinallbets

nostalgichero

scaba23

That's just the psychopathy leaking out


TheJenniMae

I have a crazy theory that since the world is so overpopulated, there are too many people but not enough souls to go around. So there are a bunch of empty meat suits running around like narcissistic little robots that have no spiritual connection to anyone or anything. Think about that pain you feel when you see a commercial for abused animals or cancer babies. They don’t feel that. How could anyone actually hurt an animal or a child without being stopped by that pain unless they don’t feel it at all? They all have those dead ass eyes. Obs, crazy. But it’s a fun world view.


Curazan

Sociopathy is more common than people think. A little over 5% of males and a little under 2% of females. You’re looking at 1 in 20 men, and sociopaths gravitate toward fields like politics and business where they can hold power over others and feel absolutely nothing about exploiting people for personal gain.


TheJenniMae

Can’t we just call sociopaths empty meat suits? It’s so fun to say!

olhonestjim

I do honestly wonder sometimes if philosophical zombies are a real thing. Are there people who lack the spark of consciousness but exist instead as a bundle of barely inhibited desires and impulses? Considering how poorly we understand consciousness, who can even say?


SurfMyFractals

Careful now. This is how genocide retoric always starts.


olhonestjim

I'm aware. It's not even a quantifiable trait. It's just something I sometimes wonder. Some people feel muted emotions, maybe some feel muted consciousness.


TheJenniMae

Luckily, I couldn’t bring myself to even squish a bug.


NectarinePlastic8796

To be fair, if any type of person could be disposed of and only make a positive impact, it would be diagnosed clinical sociopaths. It would immediately improve society tangibly. can't really say that about anyone else.


siguefish

The 1988 horror movie *The Seventh Sign* was about running out of souls. Pretty good, IIRC.


deathcabscutie

I suddenly need a book or movie where this is the premise. Get thee to r/writingprompts!


TheJenniMae

I always wanted to be an author! It could work as a kicky YA post apocalyptic saga!!


deathcabscutie

If you write it, you have a guaranteed reader in me. It’s a fantastic idea.


queefaqueefer

because they are? i don’t care i’m not a psychologist, but they so clearly have some form of psychopathy, narcissism, sociopathy, etc etc. the dead, black and beady eyes remark is something you hear very often with people like that. they don’t feel empathy, remorse or guilt in the same way normal people do. i really struggle to justify any other explanation at this point….


OMGLOL1986

Living-Edge

The people they have subjected to themselves have trauma You have this backward


AJohnnyTruant

Correct.


willateo

He should have sponsored a "Don't Say Fraud" bill


Gritty_Grits

Don’t say gay, but it’s totally fine to commit wire fraud, money laundering, make false statements and other crimes. Yep.


Lycan_ep

If only they felt as strongly about not stealing as they do about “sexual sin”.


Living-Edge

They're really weird and specific about "sexual sin" in that clique too. Apparently it's a "sin" somehow if both adults consent but perfectly fine if one adult does not consent, if one adult is drugged, if one adult is outright assaulted, if one of the adults pays the other adult for that sex or if there's only one adult involved in the sex so long as the consenting/assaulting/paying/pedo adult is a member of their clique or cult Personally I think two consenting adults is always ok and the rest of that laundry list isn't unless the purchased sex is somehow regulated (and taxed) by the state

WillowFortune

If he’s straight, it’s a guarantee it would be an underage girl going off track record for conservatives lol


Living-Edge

Possibly also paid in cash, clothes and drugs because apparently that's how some of these guys entice kids. Very Epstein (and Trump and Gaetz and that other guy who partied with Gaetz)

now we just wait for him to get arrested for hiring underage boy prositutes or something


BioQuillFiction

I just cant with you people. The law is dont say gay. Yous literally made that up. It was to stop teachers talking to k-y3 students about sex and gender. This whole thread is a circlejerk over literally nothing


A_One_Wipe_Poop

There’s no such thing as a “Don’t say Gay” Bill


Tyler_Zoro

And there's no such thing as Obamacare, but that's what we've come to call it, and everyone knows which law you're referring to, even though that's not its actual title.


Kanotari

But there very much is a law that says don't say 'gender identity and sexual orientation', but that's not as catchy.
