    Reminds me of Ted Cruz:

    [Harris’] record is extraordinarily radical. Let me say at the outset, Kamala can’t have my guns, she can’t have my gasoline engine, and she sure as hell can’t have my steaks and cheeseburgers.

      He’s so transparently pandering.

      Ted Cruz is smarter than all of this which is why I hate him more than MTG. She’s sad as shit because this is real to her. Ted is just a spineless grovelling coward with a shame kink who wants desperately to be powerful.

      I’m Australian so being an english speaker on the internet I have an opinion on American politics because no matter how hard I try to escape it I cant. So if I have to hear about it incessantly Im going to keep throwing my half informed opinion in.

      But FUCK ME is the Harris/Walz ticket well thought out. You have a sitting Dem VP who is female and a POC with a history of being “tough on crime” and a male white late middle aged former high ranking NCO veteran with a history of some super liberal policies in his midwestern home state…

          That’s a joke.

          You’re right, what I meant was the guy deserves some sympathy because he’s dead. The guy does not deserve sympathy based on his previous actions, AND he tried to kill some kid.

          Kyle is objectively in the right here, but he shouldn’t have been where he was, doing what he was doing. Fuck Kyle. I’m not condoning him.

                  Yea you said that part already cause it’s what I said. By that logic if you are disagreeing that this isn’t worth the time to keep going back and forth about youre probably a pedophile.

                  I like forums too 🙂. I also realIze what I said was fucking weird and back tracked a bit. If you let this go, I’m sure your experience here will be ever so slightly less negative. There’s plenty of other things to be doing on Lemmy then arguing with someone who’s joke didn’t land for you specifically.

                  It would be entirely easier to call me a dick out loud, chuckle at how much better you are for thinking a different opinion and moving on.

        Whether the person he shot was a convicted or suspected felon is absolutely irrelevant, vigilante justice is no justice at all, not to mention that he had no way of knowing anything about the people he shot.

        That said, I absolutely believe all three were legitimate self-defense. The problem here isn’t that he shot people in self-defense, but that he was a minor in possession of a firearm. Anyone who enabled him to bring that firearm to Kenosha should be held responsible (if they haven’t already).

        He was, but it’s not self-defense if the only reason you are in that situation is because you created it.

        If I put myself and another person in some room that’s rigged to lock and not unlock until the other person is dead… Technically I am fighting for my life, but it’s not self-defense because this wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t seek this out intentionally…

        And that’s basically what Rittenhouse did waving that gun around

          Self-defense is a response to a threat from someone else, “putting yourself” into a situation doesn’t change that. If that were true, we’d be free to blame victims of other crimes (e.g. cyclists and pedestrians hit by cars) for putting themselves into dangerous situations. But that’s absolutely not the case, it’s not my fault if a car hits me while I’m legally riding/walking on the side of the road, nor is it my fault that someone attacks me because I’m holding a firearm.

          That said, Rittenhouse was a minor and AFAICT not legally allowed to possess a firearm in that situation. That is the problem here, and anyone who enabled him to bring a firearm to that situation should be held at least partially accountable. But his actions in the moment were self-defense.

          The court disagrees. Just because somewhere is dangerous, doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to be there. If you want to go somewhere dangerous and you do not want to be at more risk, you bring protection.

      It can be two things. Most people citing molon labe online like this have a desire to use their guns in self-righteous justification. This guy already has, got away with it, and was celebrated by terrible people. He also got on the outs with the same crowd that loved him by saying he wouldn’t vote for Trump over his gun rights record(then quickly tried to take it back when Maga went against him).

      He wants his adoring fans back, perhaps not realizing they didn’t like him, they just like that he got away with fulfilling a fantasy many of them have: killing people they hate.

              The GOP wants the control and power that Russia had but, rather than the means of production being owned by the state, they want to keep it owned by the rich and powerful (aka oligarchs). So they want fascism but with all the totalitarianism that Russia had.
              So basically they are the new version of the Reds that you remember.

        The relevant text of the law is

        The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district.

        so, I think “boys bathroom” only in the case where a school has trans-boy without puberty blockers or hormone therapy. Clearly a very edge case, but right-wing propaganda depends on blowing up rare events or special circumstances, pretending they’re happening everywhere, all the time, and therefore an immediate threat to the way their audience has always done things.

          I think I can understand how it would be confusing to someone to have female sanitary products in a male bathroom at a school. I can understand that these people feel like this is part of what influences youth to develop a certain way, and they want to prevent this development at all costs.

          But it is really hard to stomach that there are people who think the existence of a tampon in someone’s surrounding makes them question their gender, and removing the tampon restores order somehow.

            I know if I were a kid, I’d just be confused but that’s about it. I mean, worst case scenario this is just an excuse for schools to double up on tampons and have more supplies for female students, a demographic that often has its needs ignored.

        I can understand how that would be confusing to someone, but access to a place where you can change a child’s diaper, or get a necessary product for your daughter, should not be exclusive to places that are designated for women. Every conservative father should be able to relate to that. But I obviously am unable to relate myself.

          I would imagine a conservative man does not deal with dirty diapers in public, possibly not in private either. The child would remain with the mother until toilet trained.

          The general theme of the conservative meta is not understanding that others have needs different than their own.

          That’s not the conversation, as I’ve heard it. The real rub is tampons in the boy’s bathrooms, in schools, for 4th graders through high schoolers. Not involving diaper change stations or grabbing necessary product for daughters.

        Lmaoooooo. You think bullshitting about it online has any impact of influence over what happens in real life? Even your shitty little protests and community outreach efforts don’t affect anything that happens irl. You really think your little vote, which doesn’t even matter, can change the entire country let alone the whole fucking world?

        What is this about? The Israel-Palestine bullshit? A region that’s been a hotbed of conflict for thousands of years? You think somehow your shitty little protest that no one gives a fuck about can somehow stop whatever’s going on in another part of the world? Snap tf back to reality. Politics is a completely meaningless venture that’s entirely out of your control as an average individual with no power.
