Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
If ‘extinguishing’ the left means gutting abortion rights, declining student loan debt to take your little vacation and stomping on LGBTQ rights again. Then you’re doing an awfully good job at extinguishing your chances of getting power in the presidency and probably the mid-terms after that. So, keep doing what you’re doing GOP. :D
That is why you pry into their comment. Are they just repeating deranged talking points or do they actually have something to add to the conversation? It appears that they have nothing to add so that equals a downvote in my opinion as they can not support their argument. We will have the modtools addon very soon and thus those with massive downvotes will find it difficult to post.
As for his post, since it doesn’t violate the rules or TOS it can stay so that others can view it in the user’s history to better understand the legitimacy of their posts, which appears to be zero.
Probably not a troll specifically, right wing media focuses on those points specifically and then repeats them ad infinitum so the person watching feels like they’re under constant assault and they need to fight. It’s just a constant poke at emotion to agitate them into action. So they probably only bother to comment on those topics when otherwise they would just lurk.
If you are lesbian, gay, or bi then you’re a damn fool. Do you really think the bigots will stop at demonizing trans people if they manage to eradicate them? No. You will absolutely be next. Then after you it’ll be another group. Fascists always need a boogey man to rail against. You’re participating in a moral panic no different than the satanic panic of the 1980s. Get your head out of your ass.
You could say that about the LGBQ side, too which invalidates your comment. Conservatives will criminalize all of LGBTQ if given the chance so that is why we support the entire movement and don’t isolate one segment. People should be allowed to be who they are, that is the American way!
No. And I know that isn’t the case because I was a part of that conversation when that was the focus of the conversation. Yes we had rightful pushback from conservatives. And you know what? We understood. We got that marriage was their institution, but gays wanted the benefits that other married couples got to enjoy too, without imposing on their religious beliefs. It was a tough fight all over the world, and fair minded conservatives did see reason enough to draw distinctions between general marriage, civil unions, partnerships and a host of other kinds of relationships that fall outside of normative Christian values.
In many of the places and states in which such legal unions were secured, there were over a subsequent number of years more and more public support for just legalizing gay marriage altogether. For conservatives this was sort of a slap because many thought they had made it clear that marriage was their institution, and in some ways they were right to feel that way, but also they needed to recognize the ways in which marriage had evolved outside of their institution.
This is not the same thing happening with transactivism today. They are using the guise of equality and compassion to mask a much more sinister agenda. And if you aren’t capable of seeing that yet, then we are not on the same page.
I’ve not seen anyone else on that page either as it is quite the extreme. I’m going to go watch RuPaul’s Drag Race again as a result because your perspective is quite different than the vast majority of the population. I would not suggest making such bold statements in public forums as you will not find support for it.
Awful. What with them covering up heinous acts of child sex abuse too. See how easy it is to denounce madness on all sides when you’re willing to be objective about facts?
The sooner you get what you want, the sooner you go against the wall. No amount of appeasement for fascists will be enough. If you are not white, straight, and the correct flavor of Christian you will be labelled an undesirable and, if you’re lucky, given a quick end.
that’s not what grooming is. 2) you’re repeating the same tired anti-gay hysteria Anita Bryant was toting around in the 70s and 80s. 3) I don’t think you’re well educated on this topic, or history, or… well anything.
fuck entirely off. no LGB without the T, trans rights are human rights, more republican senators than trans have been arrested for sexual misconduct in bathrooms and if you actually cared about child rape you’d outlaw churches.

None of these are real problems that impact real people, and you are 100% lying if you claim to have cared about this even 5 years ago.
There’s been some strange bot like transphobic comments making their way into Lemmy threads lately.
The person you’re responding to isn’t the first I’ve seen today
these are your priorities? lmao you’re a complete dork
Do you have an example of that happening or is this a figment of one’s imagination? I’d be interested in how you would support your claim.
It’s a one day old account, and has basically only posted anti-trans content.
Consider it a troll until proven otherwise. Do we have user tags like RES on Lemmy yet?

So you do not have anything to back your argument up? That looks poorly on you and makes your comment invalid.

there is no “we”, only you. checking your post history, you’re not at all part of the queer movement. you’re a shill. fuck off.
High-octane unleaded pick-me shit.
So… what’s your opinion on the church?

You got it half right, I’ll give you that.

It’s a shame to live with so much misguided hate in your heart, I hope you find the help you desperately need
No hate, just facts. BEST WISHES. 🤡
Oh just fuck off back to Truth, nobody wants to hear your bullshit

No, LGBs are not turning against Ts. It only looks that way inside your echo chamber.
