        I’m not liberal, I am a conservative Republican, and I don’t necessarily say that the LGBTQ are bad, I say that the fact that they are making CHILDREN trans is bad, its VERY bad, kids as young as three years of age are making this permanent decision after being influenced to by their parents, they aren’t old enough to make this decision, let alone comprehend the ramifications of this decision

          I like the one where he said if you “criticize” a straight person only the straight person get mad at you but if you “criticize” a gay person everybody gets mad at you.

          I warmly invite the guy to go anywhere other than here on the internet and criticize somebody FOR being straight, like I guarantee he does to gay people, and watch people get incredibly not mad that you’re criticizing straight people for being straight.

    I’m not even American but I’ve already voted for Joe Biden several times. Just wrote the name down on pieces of paper and mailed them off. Adressed them to Joe Biden too, so that shit counts double. Put some extra stamps on them, and that’s exponential growth in the number of times I voted for him. I’m practically a swing state of my own, the way I’m swinging my massive votes around.

            Interesting that Join-Lemmy.org advocates for the format I previously showed in a code block:

            yet your client supports the “greater than exclamation point” method. It makes me wonder whether your client should support it.

            (Lots of folks like that method though per Lemmy GitHub!)

              That was the Reddit spoiler tag, so I’m guessing they’re using one of the ex-reddit clients that pivoted to Lemmy during the great migration.
