  You know what really grinds my gears?

  Someone not pushing the clutch all the way in when changing gear?

  What’s relevant is how you latched on to “leftism” as cult-like … while reciting a whole bunch of right wing cult (especially QAnon) talking points about them.

  Leftism doesn’t act like a cult. AMERICANS, left or right, are cultists.

  I’m not in any fucking American political cult. I’m not American, I don’t live in the USA, and I think American political “thought” (for want of a better term) is more akin to a cancer than it is to anything useful.

  And thus, by my standards, there is no American left in American politics. The leftmost American senator, congressman, or president is a right-lurching centrist by my standards. (And Biden is a slightly left-leaning full-on Nazi.)

  (Also, tomorrow is Thursday. 😉 I’m more than half way through my Wednesday.)

  Trump: **

  QAnon: **

  Yeah, sure buddy. Whatever lets you look in the mirror without getting the urge to smash that face into a bloody pulp.

  The GOP is not protecting children from anything. It never has done. The GOP is protecting itself by directing the rage and wrath of its base away from its own incompetence and malevolence so that its base doesn’t see it for what it is: a collection of billionaires and billionaire quislings worsening the conditions for non-billionaires at an accelerating pace.

  Trans is just the latest in a long series of distractions that the conservative base keeps stupidly falling for. (My introduction to their bullshit was the crusade against Dungeons & Dragons and the closely-related Satanic Panic. Ever notice how both those aren’t things anymore? Did they really protect children against the harms of D&D given that D&D’s current edition is the best-selling version of that game in history? No, because it was never about protecting children.)

  You expect people to read past the headline before responding?

  You’re new to the Internet, right?
