Republicans don't say they hate gay people.
—They say groomers.
—They say pedophiles.

Republicans don't say they hate Jews.
—They say Soros.
—They say New World Order.

Republicans don't say they hate black people.
—They say thugs.
—They say looters.

Republicans don't say they hate Hispanic people.
—They say illegals.
—They say animals.

Republicans don't say they hate women.
—They say sluts.
—They say femoids.

Republicans don't say they hate democracy.
—They say cancel woke.
—They say radical left.

Be very, very careful of any group deliberately using dehumanizing language. Because eventually, when they do finally come for you and everyone you've ever loved...
They won't say they hate you.
—They won't have to say anything at all.

@LadyDragonfly Amazingly well said.

#Fascism is here, now, and it is time to do something about it.

The best time to punch a fascist was yesterday.
The second best is today.

@LadyDragonfly well said. Signal boosting for exposure.

@LadyDragonfly That is because Republicans don't hate those groups; we have problems with specific people or behaviors.

@randrews @LadyDragonfly I have a problem with specific Republicans in leadership being overt bigots and fascists.

dog and the plate Apr 11, 2023

@randrews @LadyDragonfly hahahahahahahhaha i have a problem with this specific sliminess.

@randrews @LadyDragonfly so which "groups" do you stand with @randrews . See, the thing is we all have issues with certain actions of some people but we don't group them together then say we don't like some of those people in a "group". Normal people say "I don't like his response to this or the way she treats that person is wrong". Get it?

@DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly That's exactly the point of the original post and my response. We don't group people together; when we say we have a problem with specific behaviors or people, people like you accuse us of hating their entire group. It's a lie and always has been.

Republicans: "I don't hate the person! I hate the behavior!"

The behavior: existing

@LadyDragonfly @DebraMilazzoSha What would it take to convince you that Republicans are not bigots? Could you be convinced at all, or are you entirely set on this lie?

Grandpa Don Apr 12, 2023

@randrews @LadyDragonfly @DebraMilazzoSha
You can assert that there remain people who align with what was once the republican party who are not bigots. But the modern republican party is openly white supremacist. Any individual exceptions you might find prove nothing.

I'll be convinced when I see the republicans denouncing churches, pastors and protesting their venues. The real threat to kids.
Google drag queen abuse, the results will be people hurting them. Google pastor/priest abuse, the results will be them abusing people.
Where are the republicans fighting to end conversion therapy? Another way they abuse children.
Seems they just provide cover for the real abusers, the church.

@randrews @LadyDragonfly @DebraMilazzoSha I mean, is it a lie, if republicans have enacted laws, that punishment minority groups for simply existing.

Your outrage is quite similar to someone being called a racist, when they've said racist things, since being called a racist, is so much worse than actually being one.

Republicans, explicitly: these people are bad! They’re coming for your jobs and to groom your children! They’re on drugs and are rapists! Their skin color is dark and their beliefs are strange! They pose an existential threat to us!

Also Republicans, explicitly: enact policies to hurt these people, infringe on their freedom to vote, kidnap their children and put them in cages, encourage police to murder them with impunity, rally vigilante violence against them

Also also republicans: why is everyone so mean to us uwu

@HeavenlyPossum @LadyDragonfly @randrews @DebraMilazzoSha Guess who is forcing children to marry them? And introduces bills to protect child abusers?

@randrews @trans_caracal @LadyDragonfly @DebraMilazzoSha

Banning books, mandating genital inspections for school children, slashing public benefits, pardoning terrorists for murdering protesters…

@randrews @DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly hey, Ross, you said “people like you”. See what you did there?

@aardvark @DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly This is pointless. By "people like you" I mean bigoted, psychopathic bullies. There is no reason to even attempt to talk to people like you.

@randrews @aardvark @LadyDragonfly yikes.

@randrews @DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly oops, you did it again

@randrews @LadyDragonfly people like me?? That's rich.

Grandpa Don Apr 12, 2023

@randrews @DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly
You may speak for yourself accurately, but your post generalized to all republicans and that is a steaming pile of 💩. It is republicans who are passing legislation to suppress voting by specific groups of people, banning books that mention specific groups of people...
I could go on but why bother?

The Alchemist Apr 12, 2023

@randrews @DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly Then what's with the republicans legislating against LGBTQ rights? Against teaching history? For you, this is a casual intellectual exercise. For LGBTQ folx they fear persecution and for their survival. Why do you choose to argue against those others are inciting hate towards? Why not call out those republicans who are being awful.

Why do they keep legislating against women, trans people, lgbtq+ people, and other minorities then?

@randrews @LadyDragonfly

Other than the problems, do you support people to be treated as equals, and to survive and thrive in your country?

Do you want gay people to survive and thrive in your country?

Do you want Jewish people to survive and thrive in your country?

Do you want people who don't look like you to survive and thrive in your country?

Do you want women to survive and thrive in your country?

Do you want people who care about inequality to survive and thrive in your country?

@pete @LadyDragonfly Of course! I want all those things. Why on earth wouldn't I, and why would anyone think I wouldn't?

@randrews @pete @LadyDragonfly Ross, it sounds like you are a reasonable person.

If you support people who would and do hurt minorities, is that really okay with you?

I know a lot of people who lean right but are wonderful to me in every other way. I love them too but shake my head.

If you knew what it was like to be targeted by a force this strong, and have otherwise good people just watch it happen, you’d better understand the frustration we feel.

Shawn Apr 12, 2023

@randrews @LadyDragonfly What exactly has Soros done that makes “Soros funded (cause/politician)” such a powerful insult in the GOP?

@muzikant @[email protected]

Be Jewish

Shawn Apr 12, 2023

@LadyDragonfly It is a question that no reporters seem to want to ask any GOP politician. I mean, “give me the offense that you personally feel Soros has committed that makes it somehow ‘bad’ to be associated with him” should be an easy one to answer unless it’s “he’s a Jew” and they aren’t yet willing to say that out loud.

@muzikant they'll never say it out loud. That's not how dog whistles work.

Shawn Apr 12, 2023

@LadyDragonfly Yeah, by the curtain was pulled back a little when Kanye said it, and the GOP left their praise-tweet off him up for weeks afterward.

@muzikant Kanye is a unique blend of racist enough to know all the dogwhistles and dumb enough to not know that he should use them.

@LadyDragonfly Hmm, and you would say that racism is to label whole group with problems of few? So, is it “Republicans”? #hypocrisy

@mcepl @LadyDragonfly it is the mission statement of the party. So if you believe in life, but don't care about children being shot and will pay your reps to do nothing then yep, it is the whole party. If it wasn't, some of your reps would stand up and be counted. So obviously they represent their constituents wishes.

Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦Apr 12, 2023

@DebraMilazzoSha @LadyDragonfly Are you just explaining me that all Jews truly are part of the plot to rule the world? So, if you care for your child to be rendered into matzahs ... yup, that’s all of them? Or that truly all Blacks are sexual perverts who want to rape our pure white girls? Is that what you are saying?

@mcepl are you alright? Did your brain just glitch and all the racism slurp out?
