Oh man, wait till you meet the Right. I’m sure you’ll just love them.

In the case of Bryon and Kristi Noem I think it’s justified because it’s hypocritical and Kristi Noem deserves to go to the lowest level of hell. Sometimes it does rub me the wrong way a bit, though, like when Jasmine Crockett said “Governor Hot Wheels”. It’s funny but also a bit of a yikes, and it’s a bad look if you try to take the moral high ground against someone who’s ableist after saying that

Personally I consider myself with some right values but I don’t like to associate myself with a majority of them. I think you could be like that for the left

Who said I’m going right? The right is worse but this narrative that the left is better just because they’re not the right is bullshit?

The left harasses people for their looks and weight and interests just as much as the right, and places nearly just as much social weight on gender rules and norms as the right does. They don’t want to dismantle patriarchy - they just want white feminists to gain hierarchy.

I mean even by your own logic, is the side that makes fun of bad people when those bad people have funny kinks not inherently better than the side that makes fun of everyone for those things, not just the ones who also happen to suck?

Why do I care who’s better any more? I’m tired of people on the left harassing me or treating me like I’m stupid and then thinking I’m going to feel comfortable in those settings just because Republicans are worse. Republicans being horrible human beings doesn’t give us a right to treat each other like shit.

I was making fun of Kristi Noem’s husband for getting cheated on at one point too, it’s fuckin funny when bad things happen to bad people. If you change your entire political identity because you don’t share that humor, then I don’t think you even HAVE a political identity.

I don’t think they want to change their political stances. I just don’t think they want to be affiliated with the left.

IM NOT CHANGING MY IDENTITY. IM JUST NOT GOING TO ASSOCIATE AS MUXH WITH “THE LEFT” as a community. I SUPPORT THE POLITICS - I THINK THE COMMUNITY IS HORRIBLE.

My positions haven’t changed - I’m just not comfortable or supported by the left leaning people around me. So I’ll continue to support, just not going to spend time active in communities that I feel uncomfortable in.

Would you say that it’s justified to mock someone who’s fat for being fat if they happen to be a shitty person? How do you think a fat person who’s fat but agrees with you is expected to feel about that? You’re essentially equating the thing that is wrong to the physical trait. I really don’t think most people here even care about this point I’m making. I just don’t feel listened to.

I must be forgetting. Who has the left made fun of for their weight besides Trump?

If Adolf Hitler was really insecure about his height, would you call him a manlet to make him cry? I would. Could that possibly hurt the feelings of some other short dude? Sure. But that’s not the target, and that makes it a them problem that they feel attacked by a clearly targeted remark.

Does this apply to slurs as well? It doesn’t matter who is harmed by the slur if the morally bad target is harmed? Do you then tell the other person to shut the fuck up and stop acting like a Republican for even daring to be offended at a physical trait of their being called ugly? I just give up personally. I’m tired of physical comments, and I won’t engage any longer in communities that insist on making them. I am not respected in those communities.

This is actually relevant considering a black ICE agent was recently called the N word. I think that’s up to the black community to decide. I see what you mean now — in all cases, the question about whether insults related to disabilities, sexual orientation, etc. towards politicians are acceptable really should be left up to the community affected by them

Which is my entire fucking point. But I’ve just been told by half this community that me, as a member of the community, don’t even get a say to tell people to fuck off. And when I tried to, they just called me a Republican. I don’t really think anyone cares about what the communities want. They just want to use it for their own gain. Nobody cared what I wanted or what I was saying except for you. You’re one of few who even bothered to listen.
