A state senator said during a public forum in Tahlequah that LGBTQ+ people are “filth,” and that he and his constituents don’t want them in “our state.”
It’s beginning. All over again. Fuck. We gon’ have to destroy some Nazis again, aren’t we?
yes, we do. let’s finish the job this time so our grandkids won’t have to deal with this shit
Sadly,many of these new Nazis are the grandchildren of the people who fought the original Nazis.
*Children
Both are correct
Nah. Those grandkids would be GenX. We’re famous slackers.
It’s the Millennials and GenZ who have forgotten the face of their fathers.
(Not that many of us GenX fuckers aren’t conservative as fuck.)
I had assumed the guy who said it, Tom Woods, was old as balls and just out of touch. I was wrong. He was born in 1994 or 1995 according to Wikipedia.

No more of this forgiveness “healing” buttpat bullshit America loves to do with its internal enemies.
End every nazi. Give every apologist life in prison. Ban all nazi/MAGA/confederate iconography and treat anyone found with it as enemies of the state and treat them as such.
We can’t just keep forgiving them every time they fuck around then shocked Pikachu when they take another swing. Crush them.
That will involve armed liberals confronting these animals on the streets. Don’t see that happening. If they want to march in my town, I’ll be front and center. And I will start shit. What are they gonna do? Kill me in a firefight?
Easy for me to say in my weird space. I’m middle-aged, had a pretty great life, all in all. Also got little kids, I’d rather die than see them grow up in a fascist state. I’d count it a win if I take 2-3 of 'em first. Show that we’ll fight back.
Y’all do as you like. But don’t come crying “No more guns!” when the fascists start up the trains.
remember how we needed socialism for that. start organizing.
Liberals: “The Christo-fascists are taking over! And getting more blatant about it every day”
Yep. Have been for some time. They’re more and more in our face about it.
Liberals: “The 2A is ancient bullshit! Give up your guns!”
Well now, hold on a moment…
Saw a wild video a year or two back. Iranian Jihadis running and gunning down a residential apartment block. This was in response to protests. Women wanting rights are some such crazy thing. They were firing indiscriminately into apartment buildings.
Commented a time or three on reddit, “That can’t happen in America. We’d shoot back. Or they wouldn’t even start.” (Much like Ohio class boomers, deterrence is a thing.) Buried in downvotes. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ll do what I can for y’all. Won’t be much I fear. But I’ll fight the Nazis, the ones literally marching in our streets, and it may mean my personal extinction. I’ll be scared shitless, but I’ll fight, and I have the means and training. Do you? I suggest y’all join me before you end up on trains.
My plan is to boldy say something snarky right before getting shot and hope someone films it so I can be turned into a meme before everything collapses. (In actuality my mental health is way too poor to keep a gun in easy access. Maybe a crossbow or something would be better for me, or I could get a proper medic bag and help that way)
Always the same bullshit pro-gun comments pushing minorities to buy guns, but never telling them who they’re supposed to shoot and how it’s supposed to help.
If just owning a gun stops this, why is it happening? Why is it happening more often in America compared to countries with stricter gun laws?
If those guns need to be used, who are we shooting and when? This senator? Police? Trump? The far-right would be thrilled. They could open fire on anybody wearing rainbows and claim “I feared for my life” because the second amendment does far more to enable scumbags and extremists than it does to save minorities.
They already do this. Matthew Shepherd.
Sit. The fuck. down
Yes, it has happened. That’s because I base my opinions on reality, not hero fantasies and gun-lobby propaganda.
Want to know the difference between Matthew Shepard and all the LGBT people you’re sacrificing to your cult? The people who killed Matthew Shepard didn’t get away with it.
I’m on your side on this one (and I know we don’t always agree). I’m not really sure why people are downvoting other than maybe being confused about your message? I took your meaning to be to encourage folks to train, prep and be ready to fight.
Could be the 2A comments drawing downvotes, but good people will need to fight fire with fire, unfortunately.
Yep. It’s the 2A strawman argument that has no place. “Liberals want to take away everyone’s guns” is a bullshit right-wing rhetoric.
Off you go then. Shoot some people with your cool guns. Or is it only other people who are supposed to throw their lives away for your bullshit rhetoric?
There is only one approved method to take out fascists and it’s using metal bars. Enough with this bullshit pro gun stance from the left on lemmy, leave that crap to the republicans
“We are a religious state and we are going to fight it to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state – we are a moral state,”
Ding, ding, ding…
There’s your problem, right there. Christians continue to tell us who they plan on attacking next and we, as a society, allow them to continue to be the shittiest human beings on planet Earth, unabated. These people are heavily mentally ill. And they keep… What’s the word they like to use…? “Grooming” kids to make sure the priests and the pastors have a brand new group of idiots for the next generation.
This has to be stopped. Believing utter bullshit should not be a protected class.
I’m really tired of these assholes using religion as a basis to make and change laws. They’re forcing Christianity on everyone else. I guess freedom of/from religion is there with the separation of church and state, in the trash.
Using religion as a basis to change laws is what they do. It’s why they were threatened, under the penalty of death, by most of the countries in Europe, to leave. Everybody was sick of their shit. Imagine a massive group of Marjorie Taylor Greens. That is what sailed to America. Imagine being a Native American, living your best life, and that is what shows up on your shores.
This narrative that Christians left to “avoid religious persecution” was started by, you guessed it, the Christians, who are always the “victims” even when they themselves initiated the problem. The truth is, they came here so they could continue to persecute others. How many infected blankets did they hand out to the natives, knowing it would kill them? They have always been terrible people. Always.
The founding fathers were not even Christians, they were deists. At that time, just like today, you can’t make a law without including the Christians or they’ll destroy society. They have to be getting talked about favorably or they kill everyone around them; the inquisition, the Nazis, etc… All done by Christians. And yet we made them a federally protected class. For what? What warrants that? They aren’t threatened. They’re not a minority class, that is to say, not a small number of the population… They have churches seemingly on every corner in every city and town in the country. Everyone else has to be protected from them.
And one of the lesser, yet still egregious tactics that they use is to have prayer meetings at public schools and at jobs. I’ve lived in the South my entire life and almost every place I’ve ever worked, there’s been a morning meeting where somebody prays at the end.
We, as a society, need to reevaluate the need to list religion as a protected class, because let’s face it, the Christians think their religion is the only one that meets that criteria. They are nothing but a federally defended terrorist group.
Blows my mind that there aren’t violent LGBT folks out there. I’m not advocating violence, but I’m impressed with the self control.
We’re out there. Arm the working class and all it’s minorities! (But yeah, defence only)
Offense is the best defense 🧐
We can be better, IMO
Can we afford to though?
I believe we need to live by example and embrace martyrdom, while simultaneously doing as much as possible to increase the quality of living, for those who will do the same in the future. Violence isn’t a part of that picture, but I acknowledge the right to self defense.
I understand if you don’t want to embrace that.
The best “offence”, is love, kindness, and sense of community; a place to call “home”.

Gay man calls republicans “filth”, says most don’t want them here
Straight man calls republicans “filth”, says most don’t want them here
Most call Republicans filth, gayly saying we don’t want them here.
That’s not a wrong statement.

50% don’t like it, 10% don’t care, 40% support it. The part that supports it is good at gerrymandering.
Your math is wrong, it’s closer to 60/10/30, with the problem being that the 30% all live around each other (and are good at gerrymandering)
Sure, I was guessing the numbers
I honestly think their intent is to just make their states completely uninhabitable to anyone who isn’t a white supremacist. If they can do that with a swing state or at least states that have a significant blue presence, they effectively take the entire government nationwide. They just need to make their policies so completely repulsive to anyone who isn’t them that we stay clear.
Of voters. The vast majority of American people are against This, but the vast majority of American people don’t vote. 
Roughly 80 million people that were eligible to vote in 2020 did not, which pretty average for presidential elections. That is right around 1/3 of the country.
Only around 2%, or around 5 million are disenfranchised due to felonies. Largely black obviously, and much higher in southern States (shocker). Some at around 8% total! And over 1 million of the 5 are from Florida.
we have an overly militarized police force and many literally can’t miss work to fight lol
This is what keeps us in check. If you’re busted by the overly militarized police you will also likely lose the job that you can’t afford to lose, you will go deep into debt, become homeless; which in most states is illegal and you’ll end up in jail.
When I was a younger person, I attended some protests. Then I saw many get broken up by the police, and many people arrested for trivial reasons. Eventually it became less and less worth it.
America, it’s law enforcement and most of the population values property over people. The owning class in America own the police, write the laws and vote R.
Part of the problem is that there are a lot of people who simply aren’t aware of how bad things are now. They aren’t doomscrolling reddit/Lemmy/bluesky/Mastodon, they’re doing other things with their lives. The result is that their awareness lags behind what’s going on and because the US is slipping hard and fast into fascism, they’re still thinking about Trump’s comment on “grabbing 'em by the pussy” while the CPAC is talking about ending democracy.
It’s hard to riot when it’s not right in your backyard, and you’re not networked/less social, propaganda that encourages indifference or ignorance. America has a seriously systemic social problem. You’re definitely right, though.
And when you’re one paycheck away from living on the streets and the threat of state sanctioned violence or detention could get you fired.
“I want to make sure that at least the children in our public schools have that faith … what I want to make sure of is that our young children have the right to grow up with that faith"
Stephens said that as an educator, he had taken an oath to educate and not “indoctrinate” students.
Ok, I think I get it now, making sure that school children are taught your religious beliefs isn’t indoctrination but teaching them that it is wrong to beat someone to death for their gender expression is.

I don’t know if one can project any harder than this
Funny, but I feel the same way about Republican politicians.
I disagree. I don’t feel murderous of any LGBTQ+
Read again, I said nothing about the LGBTQ+, and didn’t imply I feel that way either.
You’re missing the point that I’m not stupid enough to say so blatantly here. Hence the innuendo. Take your time.
I got the innuendo you were making, but I didn’t like the implication of what you said in response to my statement.
I think you actually didn’t but whatever. You’re so sensitive to shit that ain’t there IDGAF.
Yes, I can clearly see how much of a fuck you don’t give. Have a good life friend.
There’s too much comrade on comrade violence on Lemmy.
ayo gays are fun. republicans are not.
Oklahoma, where a non binary kid just died maybe because of bullying
What’s terrible is that he said this when people were asking about that specific incident.
Regardless of what actually killed Nex (their injuries or otherwise), they died because of the bullying.
I’d say to him. Too fucking bad dipshit this is america. If u dont like me being here rest assured I do not care and you can kiss my ass lol and if u wana try and kick me out theres the second amendment so that I can kick you out of this lifetime :)
I share your sentiment, but be very careful with comments wishing harm on U.S. senators. You never know who is reading, and they can and will take your comment seriously.
They didn’t wish I’ll to this guy. They promised to defend themselves from him.
Sure. We can discuss semantics all you want. But the message agencies like the secret service and similar don’t care about that. They read “I will kill you,” and that triggers an investigation regardless of reasoning.
Who wants to tell him? Who wants to tell him that every national popular vote for the last 20 years says that most people don’t want Republicans here.
Hey now, I may not want them in power, but I’m fine if they are here assuming they can keep their hate and bigotry to themselves.
We’re quite fond of them in ours, we’ll trade some white supremacists.
If I’m filth, this jackass and everyone that thinks like him is a radioactive dumpster burning tires.
I can’t wait for these fossils to die off
I can’t access the article. I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark that an ( R ) is involved.
Hopefully archive.ph will be your friend
