People really need to realise that “media can affect real life” doesn’t mean “this character does bad things so people will read that and start doing bad things” and actually means “ideas in fiction especially stereotypes about minority groups can affect how the reader views those groups, an authors implicit prejudices can be passed on to readers”

the fact that the house speaker election hasn’t been this bad since the civil war and the guy is named fucking mccarthy and it’s jan 6 … this has to be a tv show cause how do you so perfectly reference three major events of extreme internal division in the US by pure coincidence

most “protect the children” campaigns come with the implication that what’s best for children is 1950s white christian nuclear families and rigid adherence to the status quo, and having been a children I can definitively say that is very very incorrect

The only reason we’re losing rights are breakneck speed is because we lost the electoral college in 2016.

That’s it.

Some 40,000 in like 4 states thought Hillary Clinton’s was “bitchy” or whatever, and now we’re losing basic rights like abortion, Miranda Rights, the ability to pass basic gun laws, etc.

If you say any negative shit about voting for Democrats I’m going to karate chop you in the fucking throat.

You are the problem.

If you say voting is “not a good enough step” to protect democracy, then I just think you should lay down and die or something, idk.

Voting is literally the easiest step you can take to participate in a democracy.

Collecting petition signatures is hard. Raising money is hard. Running for office is hard. Making charities out of thin air to replace basic services is hard.

Yes, even waiting in line for 10 hours in a southern state is easier than running your own campaign for office, winning, and then spending the next years of your life passing bills and working with other politicians to get basic shit accomplished.

Voting is Step One. If you can’t even commit to Step One, then fuck off.

i’d rather have rainbow capitalism then living in constant fear of discovery. the woman in the pride flag disney t-shirt might be missing the nuance, but at least i know i can be myself. a street full of rainbow flags makes me more comfortable holding a mans hand. look. corporations aren’t your friend. they will sell to whoever will buy. but kids seeing gay everything every year is only ever a good thing, and a massive improvement in history

i feel like now is a good time to remind everyone that chris pratt is a creepy republican fundementalist christian that goes to a notoriously homophobic megachurch

worth noting: he clearly leans alt right. he follows Ben Shapiro, PragerU, Turning Point, Jordan Peterson, the Babylon Bee, and Dan Crenshaw on instagram, just for starters.
