Holy shit. This is fucking huge.
This is fourth reich shit, non-hyperbole. The definition of “First they came for the communists…”
What do you think will come next? Banning interracial marriage? Banning divorce and women having bank accounts? Or banning speaking anything that is critical of the regime.
People need to start freaking out about this right now, not when they’re already on the otherside of ghettos and barbed wire fences.
Dude, fuck her. I admit that back when I first moved and UK politics were still rather new to me I couldn’t wrap my mind around what she did that was horrible enough to warrant a boot in 40 DAYS. Although I’ve heard one or two stories since about people losing all their savings that made it make slightly more sense, she always read as just pretty foolish and incompetent to me.
Pushing for MAGA bs in the UK (the most redundant thing I’ve ever heard) completely upends that assessment of her into being every bit as evil as the American ones. Tory scumbag.
Yes, but actually no.
Children, regardless of “magical thinking” naturally do not possess cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is a learned skill instilled into them by other adults. Everytime a kid asks “what’s wrong with daddy?” when he’s lying on the floor after having too much to drink, and the housewife replies “he’s just sleeping honey, now stop asking stupid questions” we gradually learn to deny our senses, critical thinking and reasoning skills. Children don’t need statistics or scientific journal entries, they can sense when something is wrong. If they see one of these protests outside on the way to the grocery store with mommy they can put two and two together without having to turn on CNN. Yet full grown adults can convince themselves a new pizza parlor must be opening.
A child’s mind is better at discerning nonsense from the truth than you realize. It is we who repeatedly teach them that they are wrong.
I can’t wait to hear what the guidance will be on this, likely some form of victim-blaming MAGArs for not being anti-vax enough and eventually devolving into a witchhunt for “fake conservatives” that still drink pasteurized milk 😂
