      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      They believe they are the good guys.

      Apparently it used to be much more fashionable to punch people in the mouth. Buzz Aldrin, american hero, comes to mind.

      Yeah, right-wing cretins have no shame in the sense of being able to be embarrassed by logical conclusions or contradictions. This comic is really only meant (or at least shared by me) as a kind of commiseration between non-fascists.

    This is correct but it’s delusional to think saying this to them would work. They need to be deeply afraid to express their opinions. They’re dug in and if this year taught us anything it’s that they aren’t convincible. The only realistic path forward is to make them fearful. Ridicule isn’t enough. They need to be afraid if they voice their opinions. Afraid for their reputations, afraid for their careers, and afraid for their very lives. If they aren’t afraid at that level then we’ll only sink farther. Them not getting laid isn’t nearly enough. They should live terrified that people will find out who they really are, and they must be afraid at the highest level.

    EDIT: Reading this back I realize how this sounds, I’m NOT saying that anyone should take that kind of action, but when Sherman matched to the sea, that kind of fear was the goal and it briefly worked. Likewise after the civil rights movement. It’s nothing more than the tolerance paradox.

    I feel I’m going to be saying this a lot… Women, repeat after me: “MAGA cut off. No pussy for 4-years.”

    Nothing else, not even a pithy one-liner, nothing for them to grab onto or ague about, simply a hard NO. Can y’all please make this a real movement?

    Wasn’t there a pair of warring African tribes where the women got together and told the men they were cut off until they made peace? May be misremembering a bit, but it worked, instantly.

    EDIT: Looks to be more than one such story in Africa alone.

      I think you miss the implication of, “Your body, my choice.”

      It’s not about abortion. It’s about rape. They are threatening rape. Telling a rapist that you are withholding sex means nothing to them.

      There was an ancient Greek play by Aristophanes.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata

      Edit: someone needs to put this on without modernizing it. This sounds hilarious.

      A Spartan herald then appears with a large burden (an erection) scarcely hidden inside his tunic and he requests to see the ruling council to arrange peace talks. The magistrate, now also sporting a prodigious burden, laughs at the herald’s embarrassing situation but agrees that peace talks should begin.

      There is the 4B movement. I don’t know much about it, but I think it started in South Korea. Basically, women are swearing off men for…I don’t know how long.

      I’m already armed and thanks to only coming out about 6 years ago I was taught how to shoot as part of a “father-son bonding activity” So thanks dad, you may be a transphobic ass but you still taught me how to shoot, and I’m grateful for that, even though you regret it.

      We’re going to need an underground railroad for women in this situation. Otherwise, they are going to start executing women who have killed in the name of self-defense.

    Imagine voting for an orange man because you can’t get laid and can’t keep a wife. Being a republican man means being unable to find a wife, have sex, have kids, have a relationship, and being unfathomably gullible.

    The funny part is Trump is going to import the very people that make white republican men uncomfortable. Interracial relationships are about to explode and white incels are going to lose their minds.

    Vance isn’t getting you an Indian wife and Trump isn’t making anime real.

    So sad the younger generation had to be exposed to this type of rhetoric. When I first read the slogan that’s exactly what I thought… There are a complete lack of social skills Make them parrot some losers slogan.

      Not all conservative are incels but all incels are conservative.

      There are enough right wing women to keep this true.

        Protecting those women from violence is the hard part. Women googling “can my husband tell who i voted for” saw an uptick leading into the election. Not sure there are any good solutions or outcomes given the typical attitude of law enforcement likely to side with conservative men.

      The Harris campaign dropped that after the first month, even though it seemed to be the only thing that got under Trump and Vance’s skin.

      They got Geoff Garin, former Clinton campaign co-chief strategist, who told them to drop “We’re not going back” - not forward looking enough (they didn’t) and drop “weird” - too negative (they did).

        Wow that makes so much sense and now I know who to be mad at. Kamala had so much steam until shortly after announcing Walz and then I just felt like they really fell into the background. And trump is never truly in jist the background, he makes the media too much money

          I think there’s plenty of people to be mad at, more than enough blame to go around.

          Biden could have chosen to be the transitionary president he “signaled” that he’d be by stepping out of the race 6-12 months earlier, and allowing for a full primary season for democrats to rally around a candidate and a platform.

          The Harris campaign could have rejected the failed 2016 strategy of courting moderate republican at the expense of blue collar democrats, rather than champion the Cheney family endorsement, in spite internal protests.

          I’m not willing to scapegoat just one person for this loss, this was the whole damn team. The DNC needs to realize that people vote when they’re excited to vote. That whether they’re door knocking or just talking to their friends, the base is going to get those low propensity voters out if they’re bragging about some great thing democrats will do. And it’s a lot easier when that thing is healthcare or amnesty (Obama), rather than small business tax cuts and a republican bill on the border.
