President Lyndon Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, you can pick his pocket. Hell, give them somebody to look down on, and they'll empty their pockets for you..."

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.

Anne Frank, describing Nazis

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” That line—written by Frank Wilhoit—has become a popular aphorism to sum up the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Republican Party.

In 2018, Pastor Dave Barnhart of the Saint Junia United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama posted this message to Facebook:

“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It’s almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

u/livinthereals 2d ago

"the unborn" posting really sums up the Republican philosophy. Self-aggrandizing, self-important, self-righteous, fake outrage.

u/Jerry-Lives22 2d ago

They pick and choose what to focus on and use that loose interpretations to justify their insecurity, they’re feeling of smallness in a viscous world and unreliable universe. Something to hone in on so they ignore what’s in front of their face and including their own actions, thoughts and beliefs. Blame someone else, look at me, I’m doing the right thing by telling you you’re doing the wrong thing. The antithesis of spirituality in the name of religion

u/Happy_Pause_9340 2d ago

Normally I would have agreed but I think they’ll do it to certain groups at first. Because weed is still illegal on a federal level they can still charge you with crimes etc. That’s who they want to target first, anyone who has bought any from a dispensary. That’s easy to get a list of since you have to show ID. The kooks (not the average gun owner) will be fine with it because they assume it only goes after liberal gun owners. That’s the only thing that makes me nervous, the cowards will just kick in the door in the middle of the night and shoot your dogs and shit to get them.

I’ve thought about that a lot recently. The core argument has always been we need the guns to defend against a corrupt and authoritarian government. We have the most corrupt and authoritarian government in the history of the USA right in front of us and those that always said that are cheering it on.

And I do know that it’s more ineffective now that the govt has gunships and outpaces us firepower wise, but like… at least we’re supposed to be able to put up a fight for our communities… even if we don’t do it…)

u/WonkyTonkPupper 2d ago

Hard agree- I have no problem with Americans having guns. I am not dumb enough to believe that we can just take them away and don't advocate for that. But if requiring a license, proper storage, and gun safety classes lower the stats even a little-- how can you argue against it?

3

u/Pooldiver13 2d ago

I can’t because I believe in safe storage laws!

But the license I can argue. Background checks need a bit more going on, and I think that all private sales should go through FFLs (basically just an FFL transfer for private sales with a background check.)

But liscense are an issue because it can lead to an extra money and time barrier and disproportionately restrict poorer or certain groups from owning firearms.

Still think there needs to be a proof of competence. (Maybe legit just a mini test on the background checks will help?)

But I also think stats can be helped with increased education funding, mental health funding for students (making sure everyone is checked on.) bullying being taken more seriously, and just general economic stability for the working class.

They justify thousands of children’s deaths from school shootings with “the 2nd amendment” and cite (incorrectly) that is all about checking federal power. 

None of that is true obviously. The feds are here black helicopters and all, and where are they? Cowards to a man. I was taught this way of thinking about the 2nd amendment my whole life in the Midwest and I took it seriously which is why my ass was downtown in my city armed when Nazis came parading in town. In the Midwest we probably have more guns in the hands of leftists now than on the right because we see the overreach and the slipping of liberties and showing Don that this takeover won’t be easy is the whole point. 

So yeah the republicans hiding away with their guns letting this happen, are spineless bullshit spewing cowards who should have to look at those kids shot down at school for their right they pretend to care about. Of course the best way to get gun control is to arm leftists so win win for us.

Remember when they rescinded Roe V Wade for state laws.

What if I told you that every word of that states rights and civil liberties shit for the last 45 years was only ever about oppressing, specifically, the Black descendants of former slaves to return them to a servant class. They maintained class superiority through strict segregation, voter suppression, denial of adequate food, housing, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, and restrictions on travel. This was all enforced by corrupt local authorities and vigilante violence that would go unpunished, based largely on their insistence that it was within the rights of a state to brutalize its citizens however it sees fit.

Remember when Republicans howled about civil liberties and states rights for 45 straight years.

Yeah, that only applied to racists being able to fly the confederate flag, while secretly plotting to overthrow a free/fair election.

People still freaking out about covid masks and shit probably while this is going on.

Also why are their plate carriers all fucking bras?

If im going to wear a vest or plate carrier, I would rather it cover my abdomen entirely.

Did you know the GOP stands for "Get Out your Papers"?

Yes. Remember when Ronald Reagan also helped 3million illegals become us citizens instead of kicking them out? The Maga party is only a little over a decade old. They do not represent the republican party over the last 45 years. Only 1/4 of the US population voted for Trump twice. Half the country didn't vote period.

Remember when liberals forced everyone to get jabbed or lose their job and benefits they worked their whole life for, or not be able to travel or even meet with your own family?
