It's like they come almost parallel with self awareness then panic and intentionally jackknife in to a tree. To own the libs or something.

Target fixation. They tried too hard to avoid it and ended up smashing into it head first.

It’s a post from the Conservative community on Reddit. There is a 0% chance that’s not a propaganda bot.

That sub went dark for at least 24 hours after the data center strikes. It’s 0%. Even the idiots on r/Conservative fled to other parts. Just a bunch of clankers in a circle jerk in that sub.

If it's propaganda, it's for the left. Reminds me of The Patriotic Blonde on Twitter. She posts stuff that's right-wing on the surface, but the kinda things that seem meant to make conservatives take a step back.

"I LOVE Trump, but (reasonable objection). Why can't we (do reasonable thing) instead?"

People rage about her and I'm thinking, "If I wanted to subvert conservatives, this account is exactly how I would do it."

I disagree. It seems like a reframing of political ads in Texas as an oversight or a mistake with a dog whistle to anti-trans bigots. Likely because the ads have not been as well received as expected.

A “this is Elon’s fault” follow up post is probably coming to throw him under the bus while his funding of the campaign is in the spotlight. Musk probably pissed off his daddy and his daddy’s handlers by telling the press the White House slowed down Ukraine’s Starlink access.

Edit: it’s only gotten worse since a year ago.

This is how it went with my autistic toddler. He's always known his brother as his brother, but he didn't start transitioning until 2 months ago. We just told him big brother is a boy on the inside and soon he'll match on the outside. Kid went "oh, ok" and went back to playing. It's not complicated, it's their hatred that makes it complicated for them.

Kids can easily believe and accept anything, even that a boy can transform into a dragon; that so-called adults instead can't is astounding.

Fucking wish I could transition into a dragon, makes the protests here more fun

Heaven forbid your kids should be as informed about the world around them as possible before they have to go adult in it. Or are we just afraid conversation with them over this topic will wind up showing how irrational a position you hold, and how much of an insensitive monster you are?

Woah buddy, don’t make me have to have a difficult or uncomfortable conversation with my own kid. That’s for woke communists

Republicans are absolutely obsessed with the genitals of children and LGBTQ+ people. It's beyond revolting...

Looks like someone needs to immediately go to genital inspection room! While we take turns inspecting your genitals, would you please raise your right hand and read aloud the loyalty oath to our God King Trump?

"I pledge to the greatest bigot in the history of the United States, that hates us so much he can't even breathe, that I will go out with my Krazy Kommunity Klansmen. I'll do it any way, I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try and cheat like hell like we always do... and we are going to vote multiple times on November 3rd, or we are going to vote multiple times before that."

Countdown until one of the kids of Republican parents who learned about transgenderism from Republican attack ads realizes they’re trans…

Those damn socialists communists made my kid Trans.

Dumbfuck conservatives most likely.

That's the real fear - they're afraid of friends & neighbors finding out and ostracizing them, further proving their diminutive empathy levels don't allow them to even know what a true friend is.

13

Probably good for that person they didn't have kids in the 90s when Republicans made sure that everyone's kids learned what a blowjob was.

🙏 god bless them for raising trans awareness with kids and young adults. I'm sure a lot fewer people will be confused about what they're feeling.

And by bless them I mean hang; but for other stuff

Because gender is a social concept, here's the thing about anything gender-related; it doesn't exist until you're told about it.

What this person is ironically pointing out is that their children's lack of knowledge on the topic would've made them better at discerning a vote based on policy and skill, not on social identifiers based on the physical form one occupies.

Is that some variation of the streisand effect? I hear tv hosts talkin about the far right of my country more than any other party albeit not inviting them. Basically carried them from 8% to 30% by always babbling about how bad they are.

If your kids are able to parse a political ad, but are not able to explain what transgender means, you've failed as a parent. Your kids are actively and deliberately being denied basic information if that's the case, because you can't not know what transgender means if you're a person in the world in 2026, certainly not if you go to a normal school or use the internet. It's next to impossible. Unless you're homeschooled and surrounded by Orwellian reality editors, which this daft cunt seems to be.

That's sadly how conservative politics works. People tend to fear what they don't know, and defunding education + excessive belief in own intelligence results in the use of fear, hatred, disgust, misinformation, and lack of awareness to stir up furor and influence people to vote against their own best interests
