DeanObeidallahGOP is banning books, banning Black history, banning abortion, banning drag shows, banning diversity programs, banning rights for transgender teens, banning saying gay in school, banning academic freedom BUT the GOP tell us they are ALL about FREEDOM.
JaneETowle@DeanObeidallah have you seen the ad the Meidas brothers created using mtg?
Air Quotes Comedian@DeanObeidallah Apparently Fox News, without any trace of irony, asked their viewers if they were tired of being lied to by the media last night.
It beggars belief, sure, and the GOP are no different.
They're not ignorant, or even willfully ignorant, the hypocrisy they display is a feature, not a bug and demonstrates a void in the heart of their ideology where humanity should be.
Ultimately, they are a death cult. Anti-life itself, like cancer. And that goes for the lot of them, politicians in general and the system that supports them.
I don't know about you but I tend to like my cancer like I like my 16th Century Spanish inquisitors, which is to say long dead.

They are for freedom for guns and white, hetronormative, christofacist, cis, non-disabled, rich men. Women are not included in their freedom nor are poor people, etc

@DeanObeidallah Nazis also claimed to be about freedom. And isis.
🍸Pooka🥕Boo🍸@DeanObeidallah The only thing they are about is christo-fascism.
joe@DeanObeidallah And their voters will agree.
TopKnotAnd it seems their god/religion are the driving impetus behind this cancel culture issue. And it is following the timeline in the Handmaid's Tale. Right on schedule to becoming a full blown US theocracy.
Louee@DeanObeidallah the right is about anything BUT freedom. Their goal is to limit those entitled to freedom to themselves.
marktaylor@DeanObeidallah IMO the Republicans are trying to create a national debate about the rights bestowed on Americans by the Fed Government at the expense of red states. They want a war. This is also the centerpiece of DeSantis campaign. A Republican coup failed in 2020. So they are trying to begin an interstate war with the hope that the states will be allowed to leave the Union.
Most GenZ Americans in 2024 aren’t likely to vote for them as they live and breathe the rights being attacked
Jeannie@DeanObeidallah The GOP is all about fascism.
Der Entgegner (Aka Ratatöskr)@DeanObeidallah Freedom and Gahwd!
Q.H. Stone@DeanObeidallah The "freedom" to live by their rules, beliefs, and religion.
Renée Joy@DeanObeidallah small government my ass!!
TurboQuokka@DeanObeidallah Not just teens. They’re going after the rights of ALL trans folks, including adults. It was NEVER just “about the children” — that was just their “easy in”. They’re quite literally trying to erase us entirely.

LG Media@DeanObeidallah They want freedom to persecute.
NeveranR@DeanObeidallah Let’s not forget that the GOP super majority controlled Florida legislature has a bill introduced to eliminate the Democratic Party in FL. It’s all about Freedumb to them!!!
Linda Collins@DeanObeidallah Hitler used Freedom, Musolini did too. We must not forget Castro's Cuba Libre. While GOP frightens Cuban Americans with Socialism whenever they are afraid a Democrat will replace them.
Kagan MacTane (he/him)@DeanObeidallah I absolutely agree with you. But I've got to mention one thing:
> ...banning Black history...
You misspelled "US history".
Not trying to be snarky; just trying to point out that the history they're trying to ban is *American* history - the history of our nation, that's affected all of us, not just Black people.
And if we call it by its proper name, it's harder for them to argue against it.
obscurestar@DeanObeidallah The problem is, you've overestimated their spelling capability. What they're actually for is 'Free dumb'. They wish to free the stupidity that's been locked inside them and inflict it on the world.
Sapphic Hazard@DeanObeidallah "You are free to do as we tell you" has always been their stance. Always.
Which makes it much more shameful that people still believe them when they claim otherwise.
Willem@DeanObeidallah Freedom for the white race only.
@DeanObeidallah It was not that long ago that the main tenant of the Republican Party was "less government!" Wonder what ever happened to that???
