Calling someone's existence an ideology is as dehumanising as it gets.

At 80 years old, she is the longest-serving woman in congressional history, having been in Congress since 1983.>

what is going on, ohio? fucking retire already, transphobe.

Saw the best line somewhere today "Anti-trans Dems should be called 'Biological Republicans'" and that definitely seems apt here.

Yet another data point to show that Congress should have an age limit. Because all we have are 80+ year olds deciding how the country is operating based on their backwards ass 3+ generation old ideals that they will never live to see the consequences of.

Congress should have mandatory retirement at whatever age full social security is available. That's the age that Congress determined people should be moving out of the workforce, they should have to do the same.

The country needs to be run by people that actually can keep up with what's going on. That can use email, for fuck's sake.

"Should we go after the child-rapist? or the fascists who are kidnapping people? or the companies who are lying, cheating, stealing, and destroying the environment? or the people who are torturing others? or the people who want to bomb kids?

No! We should go after the people who think that they should get to decide what happens to their own bodies!"

I still cannot get anyone IRL to define “LGBTQ agenda”, or now “transgender ideology”. It’s simple: they don’t know. All they know is that the thing they cannot even describe is taking over schools, colleges, and universities.

Why would I know about that stuff??

Something a coworker said to me recently. I then told him that I cannot discuss politics with someone who debates in ignorance. He couldn’t handle that, and walked away.

Why does education, especially higher-ed, skew liberal? Simple. They encourage critical thought. And when critical thought is applied to identity politics and domestic and foreign policy, empathy tends to creep in—that and reasoning with facts and figures. And we all know that conservatives operate on feelings and emotional arguments. These sorts of things cannot be reasoned with.

Example:

Fact: Crime is lower than it was in the past, as indicated by the feds.

Feeling: Doesn’t matter, because I see stories about crime every day, especially committed by those people.

Fact: Communities and education has become more tolerant and accepting of sexual and gender minorities, which has encouraged more kids to express themselves and has improved mental health outcomes.

Feeling: That’s the democrats pushing their lifestyle on our kids, confusing them with anti-Christian bias.

Fact: Vaccines have reduced the prevalence of certain diseases and infections to all time lows.

Feeling: I don’t see anyone getting these diseases anymore, and I heard that vaccines can cause injury and autism. Why are they pushing for such aggressive schedules of shots? And why is the government mandating them in order for my kid to go to school?

What a transphobic hag.

Get octogenarian ideology out of our government

We have snakes among us in our party.
