I am a christian and let me tell you that every time someone says that Christians are being discriminated against in America they’re breaking a commandment
It’s hard to imagine a country where it’s easier to be a Christian than in America. *Maybe* the city state of Vatican City. Maybe.
America to Christians, literally every day:
And you know who loves Fox News?

conservatives: these things make me feel uncomfortable and i want to ban them
me: anything that makes our army more comfortable and the best of the best im in favor of. drag shows. transgender, women in the service. increased diversity.
there are some conservatives who i kind of take seriously and put up some effort to do my little part and defang their nonsense.
but ben shapiro is just a fucking dumb dumb weirdo.
that nasal voice, the rapid fire speech to make you think hes smart, now the ridiculous beard, the way he got SO MAD at wap. nope, fuck that, i am not taking this one seriously. right wing milhouse over here.
the thing with the nerds who keep saying tech stuff will replace creative is that these are the least imaginative motherfuckers on the planet. i love tech stuff but theres a reason game and movie studios dont have the programmers coming up with the cool ip.
if youre into games, you kind of see this all the time, when they release a new tech demo of what the underlying technology can do. but it takes at least a year or more for someone with a sense of story and/or art to turn the gee whiz into something you actually wanna use.
and i swear to god, tech types are always coming up with tech-centric ways to experience shit that NOBODY WANTS. so many times i have seen iterations of motion comics and no, people dont want motion comic books. they want GOOD STORIES WITH COOL ART. THAT SITS STILL.
another day with my mentions filled with liberals trying to have rational debates with conservatives and i dont know why so many of you do this. it doesnt work. maybe im just at the cynical point where i get this and you need the optimism ground out of you. it doesnt work.
conservatives: trans people are bad
liberals: actually here's all this evidence that they are not bad and actually great people and xyz
conservatives: trans people are bad
like... what is the point? why do so many of you think this can do anything? its a waste of your life.
i view my role these days as encouraging libs to fight and fight better and to understand the forces we face. what is the actual point of trying to deprogram a cultist? it doesnt work.
i finally got around to seeing the movie battle los angeles last night. ive been meaning to see it since it first came out (12 yrs ago). on paper it had some cool ideas: ground level marines vs aliens. but in execution? shaky cam shaky cam end scene.
i know im in a big bayhem mood lately but when you watch movies like that and also battleship, it gives you an appreciation for - whatever criticisms - how good michael bay is at doing his very specific michael bay thing.
i would absolutely love a ground level marines vs aliens movie with the michael bay hero shots, drone shots, beautiful people, slimy aliens, epic scope -- all of it. thats the damn thing ill pay out the nose to go see at a movie theater, esp in the summer.
Everything conservatives are saying about transgender people right now they said about gay people 20 years ago and black and Latino people the years before that. Coming for the kids, sex obsessed, destroying the family. It’s always the same fucking bullshit.
It was literally just 14 years ago that Fox News was telling us gay marriage would lead to marriage with goats and ducks and dolphins. Now they’re saying rainbows at Target will make kids trans. ITS ALWAYS THE SAME DUMB BULLSHIT. mediamatters.org/fox-nation/ore…
I get frustrated at how so much of liberalism is focused on acting like these are perfectly sane and rational concerns on the right that we have to take into consideration. It’s dumbass bullshit and that’s how we should treat it.
