    I'm going to have to explain that the GOP existed before Trump, aren't I?

    Wow, top tier irony there.. I could post up a days worth of MSM hate like Keith Olbermann, Madona, Depp, The view, and that scank Kathy Griffin to name just a few..

    And people wonder how the left have become so blind to their hatred..

    That's only going to get louder the more you cram your celebration of you existing down everyone's throats.

    You are creating more hate, not less hate.

    So you "hate" someone because they refuse to be quiet?

    Yes, color me shocked but people typically don't like your **** pushed down their throats. They don't want rainbow flags and gay pride parades full of sexually deplorable imagery everywhere. They wanna live their lives and you go live your life and nobody needs to shove eithers' values or identity down their throats.

    I do not think Trump or Maga could live in such an environment, they feel they need to be coddled

    Yes when it's painted and hung everywhere in an attempt for attention and validation. "look at me! look at me!". You are not special.

    You see the straight white Christians in this country have that going on 24/7 365 days a year.

    Ads in the newspaper, ads on TV, movie story lines, books, TV shows...the list is endless

    Man + Woman, pushed every hour of every day. But of course you don't think of that as something "pushed down our throats" because it's what YOU are. You're "normal". Anyone who doesn't fit into your cookie cutter idea of what is "normal" shouldn't be allowed to show up in movies or TV shows or in advertisements.

    Get over yourself. You aren't that special.

    I know this. When I show respect to those on the political right, I find that I have much more interesting and informative discussions with them. When I am antagonistic I find that they toss it right back in my face. Because of this I have come to prefer the former to the latter.

    As for congressional Republicans, they are pandering to their base in a way that resonates with them. Politics and theatrics seem to go hand in hand.

    - country was founded on christianity even though we thankfully have separation of church and state, that is part of our culture.
    - promoting hetero normative behaviour is preferred since it's how we as a species procreate and continue on.

    Before you say something stupid like "gay people actually can have children" understand that it's only through the help of a third party of which means that the rate of gay couples procreating is incredibly low to the point that no society would survive relying on their ability to procreate.

    Society would die off.

    Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11

    As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

    Also it is absolutely amazing how the very document that founded the United States makes absolutely no mention of Christianity at all and, in fact, the only mention of religion is that no religious test shall be used to hold public office and that the government shall not make any law "respecting an establishment of religion,". Not just no law establishing a religion but no law RESPECTING an establishment of religion.

    And speaking of saying something stupid, not all gay people have children with the "help of a third party"

    Also if you think "promoting" any kind of heterosexual or homosexual behavior is actually going to change someone's sexuality then you don't understand it at all.

    Who is being coddled??? Not the issue. The issue is being accepted as fellow human beings. Nothing more , nothing les. If a group is constantly being condmened for whatever reason.that group witll "fight" to be accepted in ways that get people's attention.
    When humanity evolves to the level of objective acceptance of all people, genders, handicaps etc....only then will it have made real progress. In the meantime human rights play the big role in getting there.

    Yep, the party that supports gay rights, black rights, women rights, trans rights...is just full of hate because they can't stand a guy that tried to overthrow an election.

    Sure birds of a feather! But their intolerance towards those not in line with them garners hatred..

    Now, I bet you if a gay person/group was to align with the GOP, I'm quite certain the left could easily modify their feeling and attitude to include them as well in the pool of disdain..

    GREAT POST

    NAILED IT

    Rush was the seed that broke this whole country. Rush seeded that white american born men (who were the majority and in complete power) were somehow repressed. He started that back in the 80's. I have said many times that Rush was the precipice to all this white rage. White males ran this country, made the lions share of incomes, and had all the real power, yet he convinced everyone that the brown man was here to steal you blind and that they were going to steal your family from your american dream. He created evil in anything liberal, while ironically claiming that he was speaking for the downtrodden, the weak, and the weary. He espoused that the democratic party was evil and that they were here to become dictators and they would become dictatorial and take over america. Cut to today and we have the same message, but in the ultimate irony, it is the right that tried to overthrow free and fair elections because their guy didnt win, and today claim that what they are doing in installing a someone who told them he would be a dictator, that it is the other guy who wants to overthrow democracy.

    Truth has no place in the right wing anymore, just their feelings and their white rage.

    Ya there is a line to be crossed when shoving it down people's throats. They've crossed that line. Now you are in obnoxious land.
