This is the basis of modern eugenics in the hopes that whites will reproduce more. I'm not even joking. This would be their dream.

This is also in context of the Republican effort out control education. Banning topics they don't like, rewriting history, homeschooling, and diverting public school funds to indoctrinating "Christian" private schools.

Wow, this got a lot darker.

ETA: I think you're right. That's why it took the mirth out of my mood.

No. This opens the door to laws that clearly apply based on on political affiliation. Do not open that door. It will eventually be used against you.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

I hate to tell you this but the door is basically open and there's a loud mouth running for president and his cronies who's trying to finish the job.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's not a right unless everyone has it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I agree that rights should be universal, and it's something for which we should strive, but I disagree that it's not a right unless it is universal. There's plenty of awful examples throughout history of people who had certain rights while others did not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

you'd think so, but according to modern day society, you'd be wrong

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well then "modern society" is wrong. I know I'm right.

Did she really post that? I just cant tell what’s real anymore

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Didn't she step back from the brink during trumps presidency? Like...he was too crazy even for her?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

He wasn't too crazy for her, he was too dumb and ineffectual.

Ann Coulter is an evil Nazi Barbie, but she's not an idiot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

She was tied at the hip to the Bush Administration, and when the whole country turned against Bush, she wasn't savvy enough to make the pivot like Tucker or Hannity (might be some sexism tied up in that, too). The Republican party now hates everything Bush did, and pretends they weren't all the same people supporting him at the time. Coulter's the one who got stuck with all the baggage, and Fox News wouldn't have her on anymore.

Don't shed a tear for her. She's not worth the salt.

Coulter is also somewhat more pro-gay rights than your average Republican. She's against gay marriage, but is more friendly with the Log Cabin Republicans than your average right wing commentator.

I just remember the absolutely miserable comedy central roast that some jackass thought would be a good idea to invite her to.

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Fooling these earth voters is easier than expected.

Yes. All they want to hear is bland plesentries embellished by an occasional saxophone solo or infant kiss.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or maybe people who are against abortion could simply choose not to have one. Ya know the way it was for like 50 years before Roe was overturned.

Of course we know they just want to impose their values on other people. So people having the freedom to be able to make choices for themselves goes against their way of thinking.

[–] tocopherol 13 points 2 years ago

Not even just 50 years, remedies to cause an abortion or suppress menstrual cycles have been in use for hundreds of years. Just now reading about the history apparently Ben Franklin may have manufactured a public discourse on abortion because he knew it would help sell papers.

That was well worth the watch. Two minutes of my life well spent, to be sure.

“It’s not too late to change that. You could kill yourself.”

That wasn’t a joke, he was out for blood

That line and diction were absolutely savage. He turned to look her in her beady, dead eyes.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wouldn't work.Their end goal is to disenfranchise women entirely. They start by making choices about our bodies for us, they end up making every choice for us.

They want control, power, not acceptance of their views for their own circle.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

The base is so dumb, they would probably see it as discrimination and fight tooth and nail to make abortions legal for all and only realize they've been "rabbit seasoned" after they won.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

They want white babies. It would work.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

OMG.. is Ann Coulter accidentally being sorta based ???

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She wants it for eugenics reasons.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

i mean that assumes that Republicans are an ethnicity. any Democrat concerned about "race suicide" can just become a Republican. (of course this is actually dumb)

i read that article, and the only concern in legalized abortion was the possibility of forced sterilization programs, and this is an incredibly unlikely event for the U.S. in this current time, as it would assume that certain ethnicities are not free to choose their party.

even if that was eventually the plan, that kind of insanity would call for a pretty obviously needed revolution, even among many Republicans who have non-ethnic principles.

what she said isn't actually a good idea of course.. but the point of the meme is that she is more or less saying the exact same thing as "people who choose to want abortions should be allowed to get abortions!" since being a Democrat or Republican is a choice. this is literally pro-choice in a cloak. lol

i'm Canadian though so i have no fkin idea who Ann Coulter is (i thought this suggestion was a joke actually), but if she's Republican, then this goes against the common Republican pro-life narrative, because she's offering abortion as a choice to anyone at all, then this is effectively the pro-choice position.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not Republicans, white people.

Taxes based on political registration

But also the same benefits.

Healthcare for socialists only

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

This is just pro-choice with extra steps (or pro-life depending on how you look at it).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Not great in terms of natural selection

Even a broken orrery is right once
