Always has been.

And in case you didn’t notice, so is social media. Facebook is training AI to flirt with children. Twitter is using GenAI to undress women and children. Reddit is banning people for saying paedophiles should face stricter sentences because apparently they’re a protected class now.

It's an older video, but I just ran across one liberal YTer who debates MAGA live, and when the caller asked him to explain why raping kids was a problem... he was just speechless. What do you say to that? And called him a pearl clutcher because of his reaction. Just wow.

Better stay away from windows and avoid tea.

Massie ain't never been in step with MAGA. That's his whole thing.

Considering his family holiday cards, he never stuck out all that much to me (I thought I vaguely remembered him sucking up to Trump in the past, too, but, admittedly, I don't remember). Guess I never looked that closely at his specific politics, in general.

Has he never seen a movie? Those closest to the villain get punished most severely for disobeying.

People need to step back and consider it might ALL be broken beyond repair.

Such a stupid right-wing/accelerationist take. Democracy is built from the ground up. We have to take back and reform what's been built; never burn it all down. Women and minorities are losing rights, which is notable because they do have them.
