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!"

Who the fuck is everybody here complaining about "liberals"?

I see so many complaints and yet I don't know who is doing the complaining. What are your ideals, beliefs, and stances? Are you all of the same mindset? Different mindset? Or is this just a "liberals bad" circle jerk?

Also, yes, I consider myself a "liberal".

A liberal is someone who supports capitalism. Republicans are some moderate liberals, but are largely conservative liberals and fash. Dems run the gamut from conservative lib to moderate lib to progressive liberals (a social democrat) like Bernie Sanders. People on here are against capitalism and are largely marxist or anarchist of some stripe

Kindly,

Shut the FUCK up.

I'm so sick and tired of you MAGAts pretending to be communists, clogging my feed with your bullshit. I block one Hexbear community, another one pops up. How do I block this entire fucking instance? Trump LOST. GET OVER IT.

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:
