LOL, did you see that screed from Trollito? Dude seems angry about everything that happened in the Enlightenment and since.

Why the fuck do they care so damn much what other people do with their lives that have no fucking God damn effect of their own? Stupid moronic piece of shit human garbage.

They are worried that low birth rates will lead to white people becoming the minority.

They are removing abortion rights and gay people’s rights to exist to make sure people keep having babies.

Well, you know… since they want to go back to colonialism and feudalism and all things that come with it like keeping the bloodline pure they can keep on doing what they probably already do and inbreed.

I don’t think that’s the logic. Gay people don’t just go back to having babies because they had some rights removed.

The policy is deeply rooted in the concept of in groups and out groups.

There is no logic.

Religion. It breeds hate when applied in the manner of most closeted gay men who cannot accept themselves

Maybe we should just ban Christian marriage as a superstitious ritual.

"You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress of humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world.”

— Bertrand Russell, Why I Am Not a Christian (1927)

And since the Republicans have been taken over by conservative Christians, this quote basically explains everything they’re trying to do as well.
