Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

Some people need to learn about the alt-right’s cultivated ignorance via hard experience.

The rest of us work just fine via observation.

“Meet me halfway”, says the unreasonable man.

You take one step forward, and they take one step backwards.

“Why can’t you meet me halfway?”, complains the unreasonable man.

And thus, conservatism in a nutshell.

TBH this is probably just more grifting from Brianna Wu. Are there any actual sources for "laugh as she got aids from being raped" type comments? afaik terfs would be more like "that's unfortunate but not our problem"

Progressives have given so much ground that their encampment is on middle-ground.

Fuck the middleground.

The fact that this is dated Nov 1st... How the hell could it take you this long to figure it out??

Genuinely surprised this was not in Leopards Ate My Face

Feel free to share it there lol. I did consider posting it there, as you might have guessed from my leopard emoji.

Oh… I know… I’ll walk through the chainsaw robot cave… they are triggered by motion… they tear anything that moves to shreds… yeah, that’s where I’m going to walk…

I remember a long time ago someone told me “you can’t reason with crazy.” These people are living in a completely unrealistic universe and do not have their wits about them. You can call them evil or whatever, but even so, they should be getting help from a medical professional because whatever is going on with these people is completely toxic, unhealthy, and destructive, even for themselves. I’ve pretty much written off anyone who still supports this administration a couple of years ago, as any reasonable person has already abandoned Trump and anyone else he associates with.

I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Fuck off and have the day you voted for.

Uncle Tom transitioned to Aunty Tom.

I don’t think she’s right wing. Maybe in the same way that I jokingly call people right wing when they’re wrong, but I don’t think she’s actually traitor lunatic.

I honestly don't understand how you can be conservative LGBTQ+. You existence is progressive.
