This has gone from funny to frustrating.
The people who need to hear this literally don't fucking care and will just ignore it.
It doesn't matter how many Christians are caught grooming and diddling little kids, they'll keep blaming it on trans people anyway and keep getting away with it anyway because it's a fucking cult that has rejected anything that isn't GroupThink.
Repeating "but were they a drag queen" in our little echo chambers is surely cathartic, but in the end, it's still an uphill battle against these fucking religious freaks, because they don't care what is true and what isn't. We should have been aware of how little they cared about the truth when they decided Sky Daddy was speaking to them in tongues. Should have been the first fucking clue these asshats aren't living in fucking reality. They were primed by religion to reject anything outside of the cult.
Repeating “but were they a drag queen” in our little echo chambers is surely cathartic
Full stop. It's cathartic, does no harm, adds a momentary smile to my otherwise dreary, humdrum, frustrating life. Bring on the drag queens, please!
Respectfully disagree. It's always been more frustrating than cathartic, but maybe if we keep repeating it enough times, just a few people might get the point. I don't think it'll happen often, but that crazy-ass worldview is fragile, being based mostly on lies. If you can break one of their beliefs, you might slowly shatter the whole thing.
Sometimes you've just gotta keep drumming a point until it hits home. Yeah, for 90% of people it will make absolutely no difference. Either they're already convinced, or there's absolutely nothing that will change their mind. But there's a possibility to make a huge difference for a few.
We disagree? I see no disagreement.
It's not about being funny in that way. It's about countering bullshit and unfortunately it can only be in small bite sized bits and to make those that spew that garbage be aware constantly it's not accepted by others by asking the question.
Odds are it's those on the fence that can be swayed.
For the rest it's a form of Chinese water torture that will eventually get through but like you say most that need to hear it won't and they'll move on to things like adernochrome and liberal baby eating.
Speaking of that, it's odd those for having a choice to have a child or not would also eat those babies? Why would they want to not have them? It's a steady diet of them if they are forced to have kids they don't want?
It's unfortunate stupid logic questions like this are the only things that jar them enough to either act in rage or dismiss it all together in a flight response but it did chip something in the process.
"At the time of the crime, Sablan had no legal custody or familial relationship to the victim"
I certainly hope he still doesn't!
This is Texas, maybe they would force her to
Hell, if she got pregnant they'd make her give birth and probably give him partial custody.
Full custody, she had to work to pay alimony.
Ugh.
Here's hoping that didn't actually happen.
I hate how this isn't even that far-fetched these days. This country is a fucking joke.
Yeah that's a weird way of saying that. It sounds sus.
she was forced to marry him because extramarital affairs are now illegal in Texas
