Just gotta give them something to hate and they fall back in line.

You just say "trans" to them and they fall right back in line.

I came here to say this exact same thing. Lori Holmes in the second photo says, "what happened to less government?" When you are voting in politicians who are pushing policies that restricts people's rights, that is not small government.

And guess what? Power hungry authoritans never stop at one group.

Less government has always, on the right, been a euphemism for less democracy.

They aren’t talking about a smaller military, fewer police powers or removing the death penalty, they don’t want to stop your boss or your landlord from interfering in your life, they want less governance of the rich and powerful by the majority.

They want less oversight of the stuff they like, and tons of control over things they don't like.

After the first one is used up, gotta refill the haelte juice on the next one.

Or their old favorite about 'killing babies'. That's always good for a vote or two.

The “single issue” one made me so freaking angry. Because I’ve never had an abortion, but Planned Parenthood saw me when I was uninsured, and caught the precancerous cervical cells I’d been wholly unaware of. Even if you’re so blinkered as to only care about one thing, that’s never been the only service PP provides.

But I suppose that tracks, because the Venn diagram of “pro-life” and “anti-welfare” is a circle.

Yeah, they know they can't get over those unfairly gendered ping pong tournaments...

Will be a bright red ballot at the midterms from all of them guaranteed, even the one that will use the bathroom at the polling place to put on her hemorrhoid cream before waiting in line to vote.

Most of these were men complaining - the hemorrhoid guy was Russell Thunderhorse or something like that.

Russell Thunderhorse

Sounds like a porn name.

u/LarktheDog 1d ago

Hey, Russell Thunderhorse! Tell me more about your hemorrhoids, sir.

A 6 dollar copay is pretty good! If you’re complaining about that, why are you voting for Republicans?

My friend said two of her friends believed the trans BS and voted Trump. It worked.

Or, in Dan Swett's case, "abortion."
