      Bill was submitted by a Republican, in a Republican controlled state Congress, and signed by a Republican governor. How is this a progressive issue?

        A firehose spewing ignorance has no time for facts or reading comprehension. That person has 800 posts and over 1,000 downvotes in just 40 days.

          The thread said 7 comments but I saw none so I assumed a blocked user said something so I log out to read the comment to make sure the blocking was justified. It indeed was.

          He’s one of the village idiots on Lemmy. Him, PatFusty, wintermute_oregon and a few others can always be relied upon to make absolutely braindead, ignorant takes. Pay them no attention, or laugh at them. They’re clowns anyway.

        Why are conservatives always seen has fascists? Even if they do things liberals/progressives hate why the extreme name calling?

        Edit: I think it’s funny that I can’t ask a simple question without being down voted.

          Just look at anything the republican party did in the past few years/decades.

          Look at how they infiltrated the judicial system.

          Look at what their potential presidential candidates are.

          Now tell me they are not an openly fascist party

          Oh and the Democrats are just a liberal ultracapitalist slightly lesser evil

          Because these aren’t conservatives. Not in the economic sense. These are fascists who campaign under the guise of conservatism.

          I my opinion this place has been taken over by the far leftists. I blocked worldnews because the mods delete inconvenient sorced facts from discussions. Even if that’s all the comment has.

          People will also assume you are a fascist if you don’t react with the same outrage they claim to have even if you never disagreed or commented against their opinion. That’s a strong sign of radicalization since they see anyone that’s not exactly like them as an enemy. It’s quite ironic.
