The Beauty of Men

Perfection is subjective.

The sad thing is that MAGA supporters are so caught up in the hate of cultural issues, and they so believe the lies of Trump and other right-wing Republicans, that they don’t realize that if Republicans ever take over the White House and Congress again, that everyone in America, including MAGA folks, will ultimately experience:

Major cutbacks in social programs like Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, etc. that many of them, or their friends and neighbors or extended family need.

Local water supplies that are frequently contaminated. 

Increased air pollution and increased extreme weather events.

Limited rights as employees.

Limited ability to feel safe from gun violence anywhere they go (even if they live in blue states) because of federal anti-gun control laws. 

Limited ability to assemble and protest anything of which the GOP does not approve.

Limits on their reproductive rights, even in blue states, because of federal bans on abortion and contraception.

Limited ability to read certain books or to learn about certain topics--even at public universities--because of federal censorship of any idea not approved by the GOP. 

Limited ability to vote for any politician who doesn’t go along with the GOP program because extreme gerrymandering will be allowed in every state. 

Welcome to the possible GOP dystopia.

And MAGA folks will only have their gullibility, willful ignorance, and hatred of “those other people” to blame.

Exactly. When the Save the Wales movement started in the 1970’s, it didn’t mean “no other sea creatures were worth saving.” It just meant there was a particular threat to wales that needed to be addressed.

Stop looking for any reason to discredit someone else’s oppression and experience. Yours matter too. Can we talk about one thing at a fucking time though please!?

“The real question isn’t whether Pelley was too blunt. The real question is why one of the last people in television news willing to speak his mind became the problem, while the people dismantling the institution somehow became the solution.”

“Data centers touch a nerve on the right and left because they bring to a head pernicious trends that have been intensifying for decades: pollution and the overstretching of natural resources; the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of billionaires; the rising cost of energy and the hypocrisy of elites who have talked for years about climate change but now want to dramatically increase energy production for AI; mass surveillance and the erosion of human rights and civil liberties; the replacement of human labor and human creative activity by machines; the mismatch between the growth of GDP and corporate profits and the grinding down of the middle class, accompanied by the decline of overall human well-being; and the glaring absence of real democracy, as nobody ever voted for AI to take over our lives.”

This article is long but very worth reading. We can’t say we weren’t warned. Billionaires don’t care what they are doing because they believe their wealth will protect them from the catastrophic effects of what they are imposing on the world. Not necessarily.
