Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Yeah no shit this isn't news
Have you not heard Biden Old?
This meme is going to hit a lot harder a couple years from now when they're sending everyone that Trump and his doners hate to concentration camps.
They are coming for the majority of America, too. One way or another, most people will fall outside the narrow inner circle that is considered a "real" Merrikan.
I'm definitely not white or straight enough for Project 2025.
It reminds me of a certain country in the 1920s that had chosen a small segment of the population as superior...hmmm...which country was that again? Dutchland?
/s, kinda
The GOP is transphobic, not transformer.
That's just because they still feel safe in public bigotry against trans folks. They still have all the old bigotries too; Muslims, atheists, gays, non protestant/evangelical Christians, black people, etc they just know if they come out publically against those demographics they'll never win an election. So they use coded language, instead of the n word in public they say DEI, diversity, urban, etc. When ranting against trans folks in public they try to equivocate how people dress with being overtly sexual because that's the same bs their pastor or political leader told them to think. The reason they scapegoat trans folks is because they are rare so most people especially in low population rural areas don't have any trans friends or interact with trans folks on a regular basis to correct the isolationist demonization pushed by many churches and political conservatives.
Sounds about right as they say.
Transphobic, homophonic, xenophobic.
At this point, what aren't they scared of?
What's the right word for science phobic?
Scientiphobic? It at least jams the right Latin words together.
Moron fits nicely enough.
What's the word for "doing the right thing" phobic and "being a decent person" phobic?
Ah I think that's just called being a republican.
Luddite?
Don't you slander Luddites that way. The Luddites were a worker's rights movement.
Go look up how they were defeated.
I think that's more about technology than science
Closest I can find is gnosiophobia, the fear of knowledge/learning. Was just going to use religious, but we know he's not that, pretense notwithstanding.
I dunno.
But… is the right word for “all the phobias” panphobic?
Just "Phobic"
Describes conservatives perfectly.
The Party of Fear and Hate
It might be, but... shit, now what do I call my severe fear of cookware?
Corningphobia?
according to an unreliable source, Tiganiphobia is the fear of cookware.... or you can lump it in with the fear of cooking- Mageirocophobia
Got bad oil burns a couple summers ago while cooking. I won't use my stove anymore. I just microwave stuff or use my countertop combo oven/air fryer thing.
