That wasn't clear from their comment. The link for Idiocracy didn't help that since that movie focuses on eugenics.

For education, sure, but while the data shows more educated voters voted for Harris, it isn't nearly as big of a gap as it should be. Slightly over 2/5ths of college educated voters voted for Trump, likewise slightly over 2/5ths of uneducated voters voted for Harris. The media likes to hype that divide along with all the others, but that's a shit ton of people on both sides.

This is eugenics propaganda. It is slightly hidden in a way of not using the blatant language of "superiority" and forcing it on people, but the base idea boils down to breeding traits such as higher intelligence into (or out of in this case) people like what is done (was attempted) with animals. This is eugenics. Please do not spread eugenics.

Eugenics does not work. There's a lot of information on the topic, but here's a 10-minute primer: https://youtu.be/kMBriCmiTu0

TL;DW Studies show genetics plays a very minor role in intelligence in humans with socioeconomic factors being the main driver. Eugenics may be able to breed certain traits in/out, but that results in the extreme detriment of others. Consider dog breeding and all the health issues breeds have who were bred for a handful of specific tasks/traits.

Turns out Gore did win, but the election was handed to Bush anyway. We could've been in a much different world.

A relatively long video on the topic (half hour) but a good one. https://youtu.be/jucDFrO89Ko

"Too blessed to be depressed" - they're a Christian fundamentalist who is depressed but trying to convince themselves otherwise. You should run.

I thought this couldn't possibly be right, and it isn't quite, but the numbers are way closer than I realized.

Canada only has around 37 million people. I always thought there were far more just because of how big Canada is. Guess I've been a standard uneducated American. US population is around 333 million. Latest estimate I can find is 7.2% queer which is roughly 24 million people.

Not all of those will need to flee, and those who do may not be financially able to flee. Others won't want to for the reasons most people don't want to leave their home. Many straight passing people will be "fine". Most trans people will want to for medical care at least, and most I know (myself included) are currently migrating to more progressive states if not to Canada yet. Trans numbers in the US are hard to nail down, but highest estimate is 1% which is only 3 million.

I know this is just a meme, but in case anyone thinks it's real, it isn't. I can't find any mention in Sappho's poems about broccoli nor any articles on queer history of lesbians giving out broccoli at any point.

Remember: if it seems ridiculous or too good to be true, it probably is and deserves some research to confirm so you aren't spreading misinformation or more malicious disinformation.

There's also this blog post on it, but it alone also isn't a reputable source. I just can't find anyone else who actually dug into this and wrote about it.

The sad alligator eyes kill me.

This could be the start of a movie where the alligator goes on a quest to save the man. Along the way hyjinx ensue and the alligator makes several friends who help him.

In the end, he rescues the man, maybe brings down the prison industrial complex, and then they open a bagel shop together.

Sounds like a good time to me.

You just have to look them in the eye and give them a firm handshake when you do it. It's so simple!
