“You’re not allowed to say anything these days! Next they’ll come for me!”

Bro if what they’re saying about rapists and harassers means they’ll come for you then you are a bad person and they should come for you. But probably also you’re just victim complexing and nobody is going to accuse of anything other than being an annoying ass

Not exactly a jump scare, it’s more of a drama trope; I hate the cliche of casual moments in a car and then they get t boned, sets me on edge in every car scene with dialog

Or a vote of retention like Colorado does. Governor appoints the judges but voters must retain them or new judges must be appointed. Kind of strikes a balance between overtly campaigning judges and more democratic influence on the judiciary

Comedy has become an act of airing social grievances (maybe always has been but definitely amplified these days) and thus peoples inherently political social grievances are going to sort them into their respective camps.

If the problems you’re facing and exposing are “the big man is keeping me down” you’re gonna find solidarity in that message and if your problems are “those people are gross and I don’t like them” only other people who have similar obsession with ordering society into groups of chosen people vs undesirables will respond to your message.

Right. The question is less how do we move past trump and more how do we contend with half our population seriously lacking critical thinking skills? We have a crisis on our hands and it isn’t (just) fascism, it’s an inability to correctly process the information of the world around us.

Corporations aren’t people, they don’t have deadnames or pronouns. Fire away

Also applies to misogyny in general. You can call out terfs (or just regular anti trans conservative women) for being bigoted shit faces without resorting to gendered attacks.

I realize cunt has a different level of salaciousness in UK than US but it is a little ironic that an insult referencing female genitalia (and in my opinion is inherently based in misogyny) has been used to show sexual harassment against a man because it was prepended with a traditionally masculine trait.
