Little did they expect the black, gay trans Muslim with Chinese heritage, who was a former MS13 member but who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to start a career in science. Panic grips the RNC, people screaming, foaming at the mouth, scrawling "the end is near" in the blood of all intern on the wall. Pure chaos.
This person chooses to support Donald Trump, and they're temporarily okay
This comment made me wonder what happened to Caitlyn Jenner. I mean not enough to look it up but still wonder.
You got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She's a good candidate for !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world.
Aaaannnnd she's already there, lol.
This is actually quite progressive. For decades they only blamed blacks, then also a few decades gays and "communists". And now they actually have a new thing every year. They are moving forward with society, always staying up to date. It's like conservatism, but for the fresh cool kids.
We're still getting blamed often. I haven't in a month or two, but normally I listen to a podcast called Knowledge Fight which critically analyzes Alex Jones and a few similar grifters in a taking them in full context way(generally outlets miss the truly heinous stuff Jones says for quick soundbites, and he uses it as a defense to his audience).
Now you may think ol AJ isn't relevant, but you still see right wing talking points come either early on his show or he repeats them quickly. He keeps basically a "rogues gallery" of people to blame for whatever, and BLM, Jessie Smollet, Obama aren't always on the list, but at least one of them shows back up monthly, along with Antifa, Soros, Klaus Schwab, communism, Bill Gates, vaccines, trans people, gay people, China, etc
It's not that they stopped blaming black people (and never stopped blaming queer people), it's that they have so many buzz words to swap us out on rotation. They haven't forgotten though. They still hate us.
What about the satanic panic, dugs, teen STDs (ok that one is fine to be worried about), violent video games, rock music...
My parents listened to conservative talk radio non-stop when I was a kid. I still remember listening to Micheal Savage scream about small meatballs at the restaurant being a liberal conspiracy and knowing how full of shit he was. I was about 11.
Yeah it's always the same. In Utah this past week, the passed a law to disallow trans people from using public bathrooms. I mean,t here's probably TWO trans people in the whole state. Now, one of the women on our Board of Education is in trouble for harrassing a student over possibly being trans (the student isn't trans, she just thought she might be).
What the FUCK is the problem? I've never seen trans people be a threat to ANYBODY ANYWHERE - yet, white moronic privileged idiots are threatening all of us with blocking all of our basic rights to exist. It seems to me the real threat to humanity is wherever bigoted white people gather together.
What the FUCK is the problem?
They invent what they need to hate, then fox screams it. There doesn't need to be a real problem.
From the party that screams and whines about how everyone else is taking their freedoms, they sure do love to to take away everyone else's freedoms
There should be around 30,000 trans people in Utah based on general population.
Lack of exposure to trans people makes it easier not to see them as human.
we aren't "normal" so their little brains must listen to the propaganda machine and aid in our erasure
little do they know the revolution will be won in thigh highs
Hmm, I hope fishnet stockings are OK, I don't have thigh highs. I may not win the revolution, but I'll certainly redefine the word 'revolting' in a lot of people's minds.... : /
It's not just white people but I get what you mean. So much of politics is performative/culture wars. What always irks me is that behind closed doors some of them are gay or have had abortions privately or something else but they go on acting as though it's the end of the world publicly.
I don’t consider this a shitpost.
I've been thinking about it and it doesn't really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I'm going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @GhostFence@lemmy.world, this isn't really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn't especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.
2024 - Mexicans at the border (you know it’s already happening)
Issues at the border are only during presidential election year and it will never be for the whole year as the day after voting, conservatives stop mentioning it.
While I'm in none of these groups, having survived the rock'n roll-, black mass- / satanic(1)-, killer videogame-, terrorism-, social justice- / SJW-, safe space-, socialism-/communism-, antifa-, cabal-, satanic(2)-, CRT- and woke-panic, I feel underrepresented.
2025 - People with disabilities (?)
I don't know let's see in the next year.
Please do not give them ideas.
They don't need them, I'm fairly certain the new thing to hate/fear is just taken from a raffle ticket out of a pile of different minority groups.
For a party that thinks itself as a pillar of strength and power ..... they sure do spend a lot of their time in perpetual fear.
Discovery was IMHO the most inferior Star Trek, but they nailed this idea when they described the Terran empire. This strong, incontrovertibly evil, imperial monster was born of, and lives on fear. A version of humanity that gave up on trust or hope and became the worst version of themselves.
See they're barking up the wrong tree with gays and trans. No middle class conservative white family ever had their kid sit them down and say "mom, dad, I'm black"
Rachel Dolezal and Nuka Zeus would like to have a word with you..
Actually, 2020 was the Chinese and county clerks (who typically handle elections). 2023 was trans people and librarians.
Turns out bigots can multitask.
2025: poor people (i think they already fear that one)
There's a kind of always a constant undercurrent of hatred for the lower class with them. I wonder how far the GOP can push that before their voters realize they're the butt of the joke.
"To get elected, pick a marginalized group and blame them for your constituent's problems."
Gays got pounded even before 2016. W and his marry men of assholes were going after gays and gay marriage during his term.
Actually now that I think about it I'm pretty sure Republicans were scapegoating gays as far back as Reagan.
Phrasing? Are we still doing phrasing?
This chart's not wrong but I'd posit 'muslims' have been an easy go-to since 9/11.
Yeah, there's usually more than one of these going on at once. Makes it easier to pivot if they get called out for it being nonsense.
There's always an element of racism running as an undercurrent, so you can pick your Boogeyman du jour, be it Muslims/Arabs (they don't differentiate,) central/south American immigrants, black lives matter, CRT, DEI, etc.
Then you can add some kind baseless moral outrage on top. Trans people existing, gay people wanting to get married, satanic panic, etc.
It's really like a fear cake, I guess.
Don't forget the "small boats crisis", that's the conservatives in a nutshell right now :-(
Will 2024 be old people?
Have we forgotten they wanted to sacrifice the old people to save the economy during covid.
With privatization of Medicare coming if Trumpert and company win they are STILL willing to sacrifice the old.
More likely DEI. (Blacks, again.)
