All the craziness is on the RW side, now

[Politruk]

The batshit crazies of the left are the lefty anti-vaxxers, anti-GMOs, 9/11 truthers, the more fanatical of the hard-greens . . .

That's about all, really. There are no Commie revolutionaries to speak of. Nothing like the Weather Underground or the Symbionese Liberation Army is still around. Not even anything like the old Black Panther Party, which never really was very crazy. Opposition to nuclear power is sometimes misinformed, but never crazy.

There is nothing among Dems or leftists or liberals that is analogous to all those idiotic RW conspiracy theories about voter fraud, or about immigration being a plot to bolster the Dem vote, or climate change denialism, or about leftist bias in the media, or the economic lunacy of the Trump Admin.

The vast majority of the batshit crazies and conspiracy theorists in America are RW.

And then there's RW craziness about the gay agenda.

 

[Politruk]

And then there's fluoride.

I'd rather be crazy than stupid.

I'd rather be crazy than stupid.

And yet you regularly demonstrate that you're both.

 

[Saint_Ann]

And yet you regularly demonstrate that you're both.

That statement is as dumb as this thread.

 

[Politruk]

Then there's what DOGE is doing . . . to be fair, that's not exactly crazy, just stupid and dishonest.

 

[Politruk]

And there is certainly nothing on the Dem side analogous to RW CTs about the Deep State, New World Order or Qanon. Nothing that crazy.

In hearing, Texas lawmaker pushing 'furries' ban in schools can't produce evidence they exist

A lawmaker pushing to ban non-human behavior in schools says he based his bill on a conversation with a school administrator, who has since denied so-called furries are a problem in her district.

But the Smithville school district issued a public statement last month disputing Gerdes' claims. It said Superintendent Cheryl Burns told Gerdes there were no litter boxes on campus for use by students dressed as cats, but as a courtesy to the lawmaker, she "made the extra effort to walk the campus to confirm."

"At this time, the District has no concerns related to students behaving as anything but typical children," the statement said.

Both Gov. Greg Abbott and House Speaker Dustin Burrows have backed the "Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education (F.U.R.R.I.E.S) Act," which would prohibit any "non-human behavior" by a student, including wearing animal ears or barking, meowing or hissing.

Come back when you can explain how in your own words. And take your misogyny elsewhere.

No, Michelle is not a man.

Where did that even come from?

No, Michelle is not a man.

She has never shared any photographs of herself while she was pregnant. Which of course means it must have never really happened, right? </sarcasm>

the sort of cesspit gutter 'press' and 'research sources' trump supporters read... the bro-in-law mentioned it the other day and I laughed in disbelief when he said he 'read it online' and that Obama was seeking a divorce now Michelle had decided to go back to living as a man again. ffs.

At least a man would be human. I recall in 2017 reading something about Michelle being released back into the wild in Africa.

if there's one thing that threatens a magat more than a black man it's a strong, intelligent, eloquent, non-kowtowing black woman.

I’m sure they thought the FURRIES law was cute. Little girls love cat ear headbands. Wait until their daughters want one.

At least everything's sorted out now in a way it never was before 1960: RFK Jr. being HHS Secretary is but one example -- on the Pub side we have medical quackery and crankery, which by default leaves the Dems with scientific evidence-based medicine. It's the same with everything: Dem vs. Pub aligns with science vs. superstition. Dem vs. Pub equates to sanity vs. insanity. Dem vs. Pub is the same as rationality vs. irrationality, intelligence vs. stupidity, knowledge vs. willful ignorance.

See The Republican War on Science.

They let themselves in for this in 1964, when they formed a New Right coalition that included the Religious Right -- that cannot be squared with rationality! The Libertarians can at least make efforts to be rational, but the RRs rot all minds that ally with them.

And it was not strictly obligatory. William F. Buckley, in 1964, quite effectively read the John Birch Society out of the new Movement Conservatism, saying the movement "cannot afford to attach itself to the banner of irresponsibility." (The Birchers thought Eisenhower was a Communist.) He might have done the same to the RRs.

But the RRs were and are just too numerous to do without in the coalition.

Recent events suggest no reasons to doubt the premise of this thread.
