There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

    Think carefully and double check before you ever agree with a Republican politician about anything.

      I guess, but like, there’s only one party that wants me in a concentration conversion therapy camp for being trans.

        That doesn’t make the rest automatically trustworthy. Just not genocidal. Though I tend to agree with Progressives and Socialist Dems or Socialists more often than not. Regular, middle of the road Dems, not as much.

          Not genocidal eh? Ask a Democrat how many people they think Earth can support long term, then subtract that from Earth’s current population. Your answer is how many people they, at some level, believe need to be gone.

          Sure, and I’m not saying both parties don’t want to surveil and control the population, but as you might be able to understand I’m a bit more focused on the Party that has all but made extermination of people like me the Party platform.

            I’ve never heard anyone call for the extermination of queer communists (or whatever category you’re referring to).

              I’m trans. If they simply take away my access to gender affirming care they’re as good as murdering me, because I won’t last long.

              Furthermore, they believe being trans is a mental illness and that we’re all groomers and rapists. It’s not much of a logical leap for them to then declare that they’re “hospitalizing us” because we present a threat to ourselves and to public safety. They already call gender affirming care “self mutilation” and they actually believe that it’s contagious and making their children trans. You’re blind if you can’t see where that’s going.

              Me being a communist just gives them a reason to shoot me when we start WW3 with China lol

                Будет “третья мировая война” - нам всем не жить.
                В любом случае, фашизм только набирает скорость.
                И он везде - национальный или гендерный, уже всё равно.
                Удачи, брат или сестра.

      All politiicans should be listened to with scepticism, but the Republicans have gone to full on lies, alternative truths, fraud, grifting and fascism. It’s not a both sides issue.
