just a tiny minority of Nazi’s holding us back…AGAIN!
We need to stop voting them in to office. That or pull another WW2 where it’s legal to end Nazis… They are quite literally the perfect example of the Paradox of Tolerance. They are EXACTLY what should NOT be tolerated.
They technically aren’t being voted into office. They use tactics such as gerrymandering and voter suppression to get elected. If everything was “fair” and “balanced” they would be a tiny minority in our government

I see no evidence that a sizable percentage of Republicans is crying for more moderate candidates nor refusing to vote for these racist, homophobic, transphobic shitbags. They aren’t being voted in by the electorate as a whole, but they absolutely are being voted in by Republicans, those other problems notwithstanding.
And then a whole bunch of them will turn around and vote for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans because “They’re for the economy” (please ignore how the economy actually performs under Republican control)
When Republicans talk about woke, they mean the LGBTQ community and other minorities. That is why they are anti woke. They are anti LGBTQ. It is a word bigots use to hide behind. “Woke, you know what we mean” wink
Oh no, it’s much more than that. Remember when DeSantis told a judge that he defined “woke” as anything that acknowledged the existence of systemic racism?
Right, it doesn’t even stop at LGBTQIA+ anymore. Anything short of the perfect bigot can be put under a microscope and declared a “sympathizer” to the “woke agenda.” Heck, cis people that aren’t conforming to their gender well enough are acceptable casualties, as we saw in the Philadelphia deli case a few days ago.
Something fascism, something McCarthyism.
Exactly. They’re scared to use the meaning and use woke instead. Scared frogs.
Nah, woke just means, “anything republicans don’t like”, it’s not LGBTQ specific.
Lee Atwater would be proud.
Too bad voters don’t matter half as much as much as land and money in the US.
Good for US voters.
It’s almost like people shouldn’t care what they do and give them the tools/laws to just live their lives. Crazy concept that I’m glad to see most people are on board with. Just a few crazies stopping progress
Won’t somebody think of the children!?
/s of course
Meanwhile, support for stronger LGBTQ+ protections was more highly favoured by Democratic voters (82 per cent) than Republican voters (32 per cent).
Surprised 32% of Republican voters support. This shows, as I’ve felt for a while now, yet another example that we aren’t as separate as we think.
The big problem is that while many Republican voters might be more moderate, Republican politicians absolutely aren’t, and the Republican voters keep voting in the extremists. It doesn’t matter if 32% of Republican voters support LGBTQ+ protections when the Republican politicians they’re voting in are busy passing anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and they’d never willingly vote for anyone else.
Absolutely. Moderates are completely unrepresented by our government right now.
Democrats are the moderate party right now. It’s actually very frustrating for progressive voters because they keep voting in Democrats that talk a big game while campaigning and then the moment they’re in office that all goes out the window and they go back to supporting the same moderate policies they always have.
That’s the real difference between the Republicans and Democrats, the Republicans talk about moderate policies but then actually enact extremist policies, while the Democrats talk about extremist policies but then actually enact moderate ones.
wish people in the uk felt the same instead of being hit upside the head every day by the anti trans media :(
