What can we do for trans people that live in Texas and need to get out?

Sounds like thought crime to me.

People who support this aren't American anyway. Real Americans believe in human rights

Have you read black history in the US? :)

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or read about native Americans? I say read because they are almost extinct

Or, like, any pre-2008 American history lmao

Recognizing human rights was an anomaly over the last few years, not the norm

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You're not wrong, but I also don't think the US is unique in that regard. There's been a lot of bullshit going on, even in countries that you would never imagine things like that happening in.

In most decent states there's been a ton of progress. I never claimed we were always perfect. No country has been.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

No I know. I would say all countries are pretty fucked up actually. Because human leaders are greedy and awful human beings in most cases.

[–] grue@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

You say "decent states" as if you think rural east Oregon is better than Atlanta in that regard, just because Oregon is blue and Georgia is red.

The US were built on genocide and fueled by slavery.

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most countries were. You can't work backwards. You have to work forward towards the future

Who upvotes this no true Scotsman bullshit?

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I'm sorry, but when you actively support bullshit laws like this that dehumanize people, you don't get to call yourself an American. Simple as that

The sad thing is that Mango Mussolini would be stupid enough to actually pass something like that.
