Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I assumed it was just "hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!" so-true

It's worse than that. What I've seen recently because of federation is "(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren't anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!"

You can shut the fuck up, dumbass. I'm sorry that you're such a crank that you think criticizing liberal bullshit makes people pro-Trump, but the liberals are fucking garbage. Liberals are a part of moving the US to the right, not a bulwark against it.

EDIT: I'll remind you that the democrats literally helped Trump win the first time, with their dumbass "pied piper" strategy, and continue to use that strategy with far-right extremists in elections:
