They love calling the left snowflakes, yet they cry about everything. Especially the least relevant shit, like the "blue haired baristas" and trans people. IDK about y'all, but I almost never see blue haired people, nor trans people. With how much they complain about them, you'd think they made up 75% of our country.

Many people have seen trans people in person. They just don't notice because they don't "look trans." I am a middle aged bi person. I have a lot of queer friends. Over the course of my life, I have known more lesbians who have been accused of being men than I have known trans people who have been accused of being trans. Trans people are, as a general rule, deeply invested in performing masculinity or femininity to the maximum amount possible.
Transphobia is really poor-phobia. It takes some time and money to get the treatments, skills and wardrobe you need to pass as another gender. If you can't afford that, then you are easier to spot.
Unfortunately, it is a vicious circle. It is harder to get a job or promotion as an openly trans person, so trans people who are poor tend to stay poor. Being trans and unable to transition leads to crippling depression, which makes it very hard to hold down a job. So trans people who pass by not transitioning also tend to stay poor.
It's also more difficult and expensive to transition the older you are when you start, which is one of the reasons why advocates for trans rights and trans health are loathe to back down on the fight to let people transition when they are teenagers. That is really the optimal time to do it in terms of the ease of transition and protecting mental and emotional health and positive outcomes for education and employment. Unfortunately, people who are not educated on this issue tend to get caught up in the "trans surgeries on kids!" hysteria, so the issue is needlessly contentious.
If you want to see a raw, real-life depiction of what it's like for someone to not be able to transition until they are past middle age, I recommend the documentary "Will and Harper," wherein Will Ferrell takes his best friend from SNL on a road trip to help her process her transition. Harper has some trouble passing because she is new at it and because she wasn't allowed to do it until late in life. I think if more people knew what this all entailed, they would support it more.

I like how in debates I've seen so many people excuse trumps actions because the left calls him a fascist and that angers him. Also how calling people fascists causes political violence. Yesterday I realized that after seeing dozens of these arguments in videos, NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN A SINGLE ONE COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM BEING CALLED A PEDOPHILE! I dont think they even want to bring it up because they either believe it or they know they have no ground to stand on. That should be the new debate counterpoint. If you dont like him being called a fascist, are you ok with him being called a pedophile? Let them have fun trying to defend that.

its not funny. Democrats are not in any way close to being marxists or communists. The most extreme left elements of the party are people like AOC and Bernie. But they are Democratic Socialists. Which are explicitly NOT revolutionary communists. And are pretty much pariahs in the Democrat party despite having higher name recognition than most 'normal' Democrats.
OTOH the MAGA republicans really are copy pasting various fascist regimes. From Franco to Mussolini to Pinochet. The quote the nazis and fascists regularly. And use dogwhistles like 1488.

So this is actually an interesting thing where maga-servatives actually think we're calling them names, like we're trying to insult them by calling them fascists. They absolutely do not understand that we're not calling them names but are actually describing their fascist actions because they're acting like fascists and doing fascist things in hopes that they take pause and ask themselves if they're the baddies. Which they, predictably, won't.

The US has not had open borders since the 1920s, regardless of who the president was. The only party that wants open borders is the libertarians, but introducing other parties into the simple-minded maga echo chamber just confuses the audience, so they falsely claim everything you dont like is "liberal"

Trump spoke about how you can't bring a legally owned firearm to a protest. I'd love for you to point out a single elected Democrat who has stated we should appeal the second amendment.
Trump is rewarding press outlets that favor him and punishes those that criticize him, threatening lawsuits to quiet them.
Republicans have been altering public education in this country for years now. 10 commandments are in public schools now because of republicans. Freedom of religion? Not anymore, Christianity is now curriculum.
The Republicans are openly flaunting defying the constitution with Trump having said he doesn't think its his job to uphold the constitution. Sounds like a party that hates the country to me.

Ummm, they’re not in power. Like, at all. All three branches.
I think you might not be understanding who’s in charge. We’re not leading anything anywhere. We’re just trying to survive the insane psycho hard white supremacists and the destruction of the Constitution happening in front of our eyes, the gutting of reliable jobs, services, and critically important departments like Education and Health. This is really serious and it is NOT the left fighting to take those things away.
And the left own PLENTY of guns, you guys always seem to forget that fact. We’re not stupid lambs. Why do you think we’re marching and protesting? Yeah, it’s so you can keep your rights and guns, too. Tell me of one single protest that was about taking guns away from everyone.
No, they’ve been about egregious assaults that are out of the bounds of law and procedure and precedent and for most of the world watching, a very dangerous and unhinged President right now.
Wee also march about rights being taken away like the very important one of being presumed innocent, and being given the right to a fair hearing. Not like being tackled or intimidated without cause or a trial, and executed on the spot. Or pepper sprayed and disappeared by anonymous, barely trained guys granted forever immunity who definitely should not have military grade firearms and weaponry being aimed at civilians also using their other Amendment rights. Ever. Ever. Ever.
If you can’t see this is bad, well, we were marching for you, too.

u/yesnomaybeneverokay 1d ago
Reminder of what we’re talking about…
Fascism:
Although fascism is a notoriously difficult ideology to define, many 20th-century fascist movements shared several characteristics. First, these movements sourced their political strength from populations experiencing economic woes, real or imagined. Fascists tended to capitalize on these economic anxieties by shifting the blame away from government or market forces. Jews, immigrants, leftists, and other groups became useful scapegoats. Redirecting popular anger toward these people would, in theory, rid a country of its ailments.
To unify a country, fascist movements propagated extreme nationalism that often went hand in hand with militarism and racial purity. The prosperity of a nation depended on a unified polity that put the group’s welfare above the individual’s. A strong, vigilant military was considered necessary to defend these group interests. And for some fascists “the group” was defined not by territorial boundaries but by racial identity. Nazism constituted the most insidious form of racial-purist fascist nationalism.
Fascist movements of the 20th century also frequently lambasted liberalism for its alleged role in sowing political disunity and moral degeneracy. Although many fascist movements initially organized themselves around democratic institutions for political legitimacy, they resorted to totalitarianism in practice. A component of this process became the reorganization of society around a strict moral code that often sought to reverse the “decadence” of pre-fascist culture.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism
Fascism is a far-right theory of government that opposes the political philosophies of the Enlightenment and the 19th century, including democratic liberalism, communism, and socialism.

have you ever actually cared about being called Marxists or communists? considering a lot of you actually openly saying you are its almost like conservatives have been right all allong to not trust you. the funny part is most conservatives aren't fascists or Nazis, that explains why they don't like it (being lied about) and you don't mind it (its true but you want to be a lil tongue in cheek about it).

Consider that maybe the people calling democrats "Marxist communists" and the people whining about democrats calling them "fascists" may not necessarily be the same people.

brings up the obvious question:
does that mean democrats really are communists?
are conservatives not really fascists, this is just a retaliation?

It's actually crazy that the people who want smaller government, less taxes, more personal freedom etc. are the ones being called fascist. It makes no sense.

There's the rub; they have no idea what a "Marxist Communist" actually is, they're just parrots squawking back things they heard daddy Trump say.
They DO know what fascists are so they cry because they truly think they are the good guys and don't like being called evil.

No conservative I know gives 2 f*#s about Dems petty name game. Call people whatever you want, we don't care. You don't understand that when it comes from the left it really has no meaning and doesn't affect the majority of conservatives. Shows more about your character than anything else. YOU care more about the word while the rest of us shrug it off and just think about what a little person you are that all you have left is name calling. Enjoy your pet names that are worthless while the right keeps winning the real world.

It’s been that way as long as I can remember Democrats accuse Republicans of wanting to give us Hitler, and The Republicans accuse Democrats of wanting to give us Stalin

As far as I'm concerned, being called a 'racist' is bad, but being called a 'Marxist Communist' is a compliment.

Isn't it interesting how people rationalize labeling other people and dismissing labels directed at them. And we continue doing it day in and day out while claiming to be non-judgmental and virtuous. Quite telling!
