    I saw this kinda happen irl once. Turns out my friend was actually just bisexual and didn’t know it. Not so much a picture but an easy opportunity to try something they never tried before or pursued with someone they felt safe with.

    It won’t work, because we all know that two men kissing is way hotter than a man and a woman kissing.

    Nobody will be able to resist the allure of gay sex. It’s too sexy. I can say this from personal experience.

    It’s like the “social contagion” and “rapid onset gender dysphoria” bullshit. Somehow being repeatedly told that you just need to be happy being a girl/boy is cancelled out instantly by seeing a trans person exist. Then they pretend that you just walk into a gender clinic and leave with a HRT script and a surgery appointment.

    I feel like this will lead to a distopia where in every conceivable media, they will have to do accounting on non hetero vs hetero moments of affection display.

    My favorite with this is pointing out that if strangers have that much influence on your kids lives, you must not be that important to them 😇

        It’s very annoying to see “you’re only in the other camp because you’re a dumb-dumb” rolled out as the logic espoused by two failed and crumbling political institutions.

        It’s two sinking ships and the captains only know how to give the order “point at the other boat and scoff harder!”

          No, it’s one sinking ship. Two captains alternate command. One side cordons off the holes with a velvet rope, the other is drilling holes to collect on the insurance money.

          They both have insurance policies out on the boat.

          Yes. That’s partly why I made the comment.

        One group is transparently gaslighting themselves on a daily basis, on national channels that they own. We can safely say the R’s have an aversion to reality.

        You are purposely choosing to ignore the context in which the original statement was made, so that you can paint it as unfounded.

        That’s either pure intellectual dishonesty, or an exemplary demonstration of being incapable of logical thought, either of which seems to place you squarely in the demographic being targeted in this thread.

          False. I’m simply saying that @[email protected] statement applies to more than just conservatives… That’s all. Not that it doesn’t apply to conservatives, especially when referred back to OP’s post it absolutely does…

          It’s literally not even a fighting statement but a simple reference to the cooked state of American political parties. It’s not that deep my friend.

            That’s a distinction without a difference.

            If you’re looking to refute a point, then commit to it and argue properly. If you’re trying to make a different point, then state it and provide your reasoning.

            You did neither.

              No shit, because it’s not supposed to be serious. Just a basic “hah, it kinda works for all of them”. Jesus. You’re literally on a shitpost overthinking a light-hearted offhand throwaway comment, bruh.

              I’m literally saying I agree with your original statement. Why do mfs always got to make a fucking fight over stupid pointless shit. God damn. Always assuming everyone is against you. 🤦

                  bOtH SiDes

                  “bOtH SiDes” what? It’s not “reality-defying” to see the obvious flaws and criticize them. Is one

                  party

                  (Conservative-Republican cough cough)

                  particularly trash at the moment? Yes. The actions of the

                  Orange Teletubby

                  (Trump) ::: makes that very obviously clear. But you gotta be off your rocker if you think either party works in the best interest of the American people. Much like OS’s; every party has its flaws, that’s reality. Even the party that aligns with my views most closely has egregious flaws I despise and criticize harshly. Criticism is the only way to get partys to recognize there issues and move past them. We should not have to choose between two evils to run our country, unfortunately the voting system itself is proven to be utterly broken as shown by mathematical proofs. It will near always collapse into a 2 party system that breeds corruption were it’s near impossible for a 3rd party to challenge them. The system itself encourages selfishness and corrupt at a provably fundamental level. There is a way out of this mess too as shown by the mathematics, but implementing it now is a ridiculous challenge.

                  Or maybe you’re just not willing to admit you made a simple mistake of assuming my political position. You made an assumption based on some text and it lead to a miscommunication, it happens, it’s not something you need to die on a hill for. I literally liked your original comment because it was right on the money of what conservatives are like. Now you’re demonizing me because I thought it was mildly funny that your statement could be used as a blanket statement for the American political climate. Why? I say it’s because you take shit too seriously, correct me if I’m wrong. This is simply just a misguided witch hunt.

    1. Everything that’s not acceptable to conservatives is equally bad
    2. One of those things turns out not to be so bad
    3. What else might not be so bad?
    4. ???
    5. Kid now is going to hell and, worse, will grow up to vote for someone left of center or become trans or gay or whatever

    That’s the worry. The ideology is fragile. Any single crack in the dam will result in a flood.
