Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Assisted the whole why by the Democrats. It is going to take a long time to deprogram the country on this.
I also think all the activists and "NGOs" that coddled up to the Dem establishment have to take some blame. This was a terrible strategy from the beginning, to get in bed with the Democrat-NGO-media complex to try find an easy way out in obtaining social progress. Even ignoring all the ethical concerns and how this whole strategy backfired with pink washing, LGBT capitalism, a large increase in anti LGBT attitudes, transgender healthcare bans, etc, on a pure mathematical level it means that in order for LGBT people to have rights, Democrats have to win every election. A mathematical impossibility.
If you're going to team up with the Dems at least ensure that you have some guarantees that they'll pass some kind of permanent/hard to remove human rights protections/legislation. Selling out to the Dems and getting this in return is embarrassing and undignified.
