Eliminating abortion, firing teachers for being gay, passing legislation that makes trans lives into a complete hell, and signaling that gay and interracial marriage is next on the chopping block are what you call "minor stuff"?

None of that is the issue here. The first is the only one thats close and Democrats have more votes. Youre just fear mongering like CNN or the Daily Beast. They dont have the votes for any of that. Call your damn representative instead of complaining on the internet and not actually taking action.

Yes, none of this matters because some culty on the internet said so. Brilliant reasoning here.

And that is exactly?

If you are a Democrat, you are in the majority. Call your rep and and speak your voice.

Its literally not, though. Democrats have a majority and really only need a few Senate seats to have a super majority with a sitting president. No, the truth is that its easier to complain than look in the mirror to admit legitimate problems. What youre saying is extreme and unnecessary. Do you know how insane it is to label anything us versus them? Didnt anyone learn anything from that last two world wars? At the end of the day, none of this minor stuff matters we are all people and differences can be resolved if we just listen to each other.
Really tired of seeing people be told that "we're all people who deserve respect" when dealing with others whose opinions are literally "strip you of your freedoms because you're murdering babies or grooming children". No one wants to listen to my differences or care about my feelings.

It's actually long past time we dropped the facade that many issues aren't "us vs them". When states, and a Republican Congress with a good chance at taking over, are attacking LGBT people and vowing to ban abortion ("because it's murder"), it's a "us vs them" issue. There's no middle ground and millions of people are going to lose rights if they succeed.

These are the real issues while you're sitting here crying about the "Ministry of Truth" and whatever else.

Is this why multiple states have banned abortion and are attacking LGBT people. Is this why the Democrats can't find 60 votes in the Senate to do anything? Because they have such an overwhelming supermajority in America since Biden squeaked out a win over the host of The Apprentice?

I hate to shatter your world here, but these people were bought and paid for a long time ago. Giving you lip service and actually listening to you are two entirely different things.

We common people have almost zero power to make change and you would actively fight against the change or protection of current rights that I require.

Yes let me call my local representatives, who are Republican Trump supporters. I totally have the power to convince them I'm not a child groomer that wants to murder babies.

If this happens, hopefully blue states tell Republicans to kiss ass and we start rethinking whether it's a good idea for populated blue areas to be beholden to corn fields with voting rights

Is the problem me not being nice, or you spreading lies with your first post in this topic?

God's sake, you've been here roughly as long as I have, you can be an adult and argue your points in good faith.

Or you could choose not to and face more of this derision.

Choice is yours.

My condolences to your lack of knowledge about the Terms of Use.

I give a shit insofar as I want liars to not be allowed to continue lying unchallenged.

And this is the fourth time you said you'd stop and you haven't so I don't think you'll succeed at this one either.

No of course not, but we have to act. Money, time, and voice are all needed. Votes are important but it's a few hours out of one day. People need to be reminded what's at stake here.

To not be involved is a luxury. To not be involved is to allow things to happen.

So if you want to see things improve, I'd suggest you get more involved.

That's literally what's been happening.

"Fear-mongering"? No, we all have legit reasons to signal the alarms.
