How stupid do you have to be to support this guy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

recent studies suggest "all the way"

So we have school 4 days a week instead of 5. Your child will be back to their original gender in time for the weekend.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if we follow this pattern

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

So we need a 6 day week.

I recall the old Bugs Bunny cartoons and the rascally rabbit dressed up as a woman. The MAGATs are regressive turds.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Woke Bugs Bunny.

No, you're thinking of that coffin in Dark Souls. Completely different thing, though I understand if you're a complete moron it can be confusing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

What the heck, this is real?!

I thought you were just being silly.

This guy lives in a fantasy world of hate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

He hate-rages himself to bed, knowing he has multiple lawsuits he has to attend, a shrinking circle of people he trusts, two assassination attempts, and his wife and family are counting down the days he dies.

What if the actual reason for an increasing number of LGBTQ people (besides society finally starting to treat them with some degree of basic acceptance that everyone deserves- still a long way to go, but it seems better than the past) was an ever increasing amount of estrogen antagonizing plastic pollution in our habitat? Would DJT favor more regulation of the plastics and chemical industries?

My guess is not. He mostly just wants to use some fictional boogeyman to further destroy our schools (very real measureable decline since he took office that people want to blame on covid rather than his appointee Betsy DeVos).

And acceptance leads to openness... imagine the MASSIVE amount of closeted gays in Trump's Generation.

Today we are more accepting than even in the grayish 80s, now that not even AIDS is connected with it.

A kid growing up now could turn out gay or trans way earlier in life than "usual" because they are born that way. Similar to better Diagnostics leading to more cases of Autism.

"I don't want to get into the details."

Yeah. I know. Because it doesn't farking happen

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s the country of Lalalandburg and it’s located in the remote recesses of the back of a senile, irrelevant, and terrified old man’s head.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sadly, whatever else is true about the orange shit bag, irrelevant isn't. We are forced to contend with his influence on a daily basis.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That just means we’re forced to deal with an irrelevant old man.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s possible you’re confused about the definition of the word “relevant”.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No. That’s not possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Inconceivable!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Then send it back to school an it'll change back. Such a non issue...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

And now they've been shot in school, thanks Obama

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, just need to time sick days to ensure that the last day of school lands on the preferred gender.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Honestly it sounds like Canada (minus the transgender panic). Trump is a POS but that doesn't mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.

My wife teaches college and trade school and the quality of incoming students declines every year as since Covid for some reason the public schools have had very low requirements for passing a grade level. Some can't even add fractions. Most can't rearrange an equation. A large fraction panic and have anxiety attacks when taking tests, and just stare at the paper like a deer in the headlights.

My daughter is now in grade 5 and they were teaching them practically nothing and not even grading them. Just "good" "adequate" or "poor" based on how well the teacher "thinks they know the material". No discipline, no challenge. And it honestly seems true that they're teaching more cultural topics and less core math/science/English.

Thankfully she has a teacher and an engineer for parents, is a voracious reader and we've taught her math and programming at home. Pulled her out of the public system this year and she's suddenly telling us what she learned and is excited to go to school...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Sure, schools need improvement, but if you think electing the Conservatives is going to improve our schools, you're a worse joke than the schools are

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Trump is a POS but that doesn't mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.

Yeah, but the declining quality is because of people like him who are making sure good education must be paid for, and this rambling again is just a way to get people worked up against a non-issue to deteriorate the education system further. There's no "education is threatened" in that message because the base doesn't care, either because they don't value education or because they don't think it should be available to poor people.

Just send your kid to school an even number of days...

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I did leave for school and they taught me the tools necessary to understand my gender properly. And yeah those tools aren’t reading, writing, or arithmetic, it was calculus actually.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Calculus? I thought it was wood shop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Made me want to L'hopital off!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Ah, things make more sense now, I struggled in calculus. Particularly integrals.

This only got overshadowed by his “they’re eating the cats and dogs“ quote. Aside from that, this may be one of the most insane things he’s said.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

More insane than thinking Canada has a giant faucet that takes all the melt water from the polar ice cap and dumps it in the Pacific, instead of letting it run "down" to California?

Edit. Pluralised ice cap. I don't think even Trump is stupid enough to think the south pole's run off ends up in Canada.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe you are wrong on that last point😉
