they’ll what now?
It just doesn’t get much worse than this stance. The only way it gets worse is when they start saying they’re re-implementing indentured labour laws
You mean like they’ll systematically target black people to send them to prison and then force them to do labor for slave wages?
Yeah, but they won’t be so sneaky about it.
Bro, it’s been happening for decades already!
Yes. That’s what I was referring to. ಠ_ಠ
There is no visible line… why not simply deny slavery and the holocaust as a hoax
As soon as the last person dies that might have personally met a camp survivor they will. They can’t deny the evidence that survivors bring to the table but once people can no longer point at grandma with the number tattooed on her arm, they’ll start playing it down more and more
I mean…
I’m past it. My living philosophy now is nihilistic.
Naw friend, nihilism ain’t it, absurdism though, now that’s the way. This shit is entirely too ridiculous
Why not both?
Every day we stray further from gods light
You sure ‘bout that? I’m pretty sure he didn’t really bat an eye when slavery was in full swing, hell, if i remember right he actually endorsed it, as much as a fictional character can endorse anything.
it’s a meme you dip
Now now, no need to be so rude, i know it is a meme, i simply stated a fact regarding it and the context
you don’t need to evangelize your lack of a religion to me. Evangelicals are so annoying.
I wasn’t really evangelizing as much as stating that the christian god endorsed slavery, Ephesians 6:5–8, Colossians 3:22–24, 1 Timothy 6:1–2, Titus 2:9–10.

The Christian God is a slaver, not a liberator.
The LORD instructs the Israelites to enslave.
Oh I’m quite aware, all Abrahamic religions have the same base of messed up morality. I’m not religious. I just find the sort of militant atheist that would make a point of “fiction” annoying.
Oh I’m no militant atheist, I worship the slaver God.
Yeah, I gotta get the fuck out of here.
It literally gets worse here every day.
I have family in titusville and lets jst say the memes ring true, unhinged, completely detached from reality.
You need to drive everyone else out. We shouldn’t give up on Florida.
Your sentiment is good but misplaced. The ocean will already do that for us in our lifetime. With any hope, the crazies might go underwater with Florida, but it will most likely disperse them.
I’m this case, dilution may actually be the solution to pollution…
Probably not, but maybe.
You could come to Ohio, things happen here, I promise!
I know you’re kidding, but I’m almost considering Ohio exactly because of all of the NOTHING* that happens.
*Except that one thing. But I’ll probably be living far away from that.
Maybe try lower Illinois then. I can’t think of anything noteworthy that happens there. Lot of open space.
My grandmother’s family is from southern Illinois. It’s not that great but it is the cheapest part, but there are a lotta bigots and racists there.
Hmm, what about Vermont? I have heard nothing bad about Vermont.
Washington, the answer you’re looking for is Washington

Just not Spokane, or anywhere outside the SeaTac metro area really. Like Oregon: welcoming, inclusive people, except for most places outside of Portland, Eugene, Bend.
Ahhh… The old “replace factual history with ‘belief-ism’” tactic. What’s the saying? “Those who don’t read history are doomed to repeat it”
It feels like 1984, unironically.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme a lot.
I can’t imagine living with as much insecurity as conservatives face every day
It has to be a nightmare. Maybe that’s why they so mad all the time at the sightest breeze of sanity
When the only thing that keeps your marriage together is the church and the only thing that keeps you from liking the same sex is god, you keep on fighting.
Source: I know a few of these people…
Even if you don’t fall into that category, one of the main gotchas of the church is to use one of your most basic biological programmings and tell you it’s a sin. The church teaches that even thinking lustfully about someone is a sin. They tell you that the urge to reproduce is sinful and only they have the cure.
Ok, so I know “retarded” is an offensive and outdated term, but I propose we redefine it as “being ignorant, knowing that you are, and stubbornly refusing to make any attempt to fix it”.
Used in a sentence: Ron DeSantis is retarded.
Actively working to retard the progress of humanity as a whole, so maybe…retarder?
Oh that’s good. He’s like a wet blanket for the fire of progress. That’s also what I hear his wife says about him in bed. 🔥🔥
I thought that was already defined as, “Republican”.
Oh, that’s the R word I was thinking of. Duh. Silly me.
Yes we can do it just like South Park did with the word fag.
People get mad but it’s true. When I get mad I do sometimes call a driver a fag, and the idea of a gay person is nowhere near my thoughts when calling the dumbass driver a fag.
No, this is not cool. Louis C.K. and South Park were wrong, actually. There are a couple of things wrong with it.
If you’re yelling fag at a straight person, nobody thinks you’re yelling “Hey straight guy, you literally have sex with men!” because that wouldn’t make any sense. What you’re yelling is “You are something bad. You know, like gay people are bad.” That’s why you never hear anyone say, “Hey you cut me off, supermodel!” or “You spilled your drink on me, fireman!” because it’s not a random word after that comma, it’s an insult. So, yelling fag at people who aren’t (necessarily) gay is of course not being homophobic…to the straight person you’re yelling at. It’s being homophobic to the gay people who may or may not have heard it.
Second, the whole premise that you can use slurs and it is up to the target of the slur to figure out if you mean it in the hateful way or the “fun” way is dumb. That’s not how the world works. You can’t go up to a guy in a bar and say, “Your girlfriend is ugly and your mom’s a slut” and then get mad when they take it as an insult. It is not other people’s job to look into your soul and realize that when you’re saying something insulting that you don’t mean it that way. I’m sure you think “it’s just words”, but you probably don’t know what it’s like to be on a public bus and hear murmuring of “faggot” from the seat behind you. Maybe you’re a tough guy and wouldn’t have worried about it, but I had a long thought about what my plan would be if this guy attacked me for being gay. He didn’t, but that fear was still real.
If it makes you feel any better, this is not something that only straight people have to abide by. There’s a great Dead Milkmen song called “Instant Club Hit” that I love. It’s a funny song from the 80s that makes fun of goth culture, but there’s a part where it says “art fag” over and over again. Now I know those guys are cool. When I saw them live in Portland they asked people to donate to a group called Safe Pride PDX. One of the members is gay. Anyway, I scolded my husband once for putting that song on the jukebox at a bar. Not because I think the song is really homophobic, but because some gay guy who doesn’t know this band could be in the bar and all of sudden realize “Oh fuck, the song playing in this bar is saying fag over and over again!” and get nervous that they aren’t safe. So we don’t play that song on the jukebox anymore. And you can think of another thing to yell at people who cut you off in traffic.

Yeah, I’m not really into that. I’m also not actually advocating for the use of that word. It was more just an elaborate set up for a joke to beat up on a truly vile person for being such unconscionable garbage, you know?
Hm if black people benefitted from slavery, why not reintroduce slavery then? And while you are at it, maybe white people want to benefit, too? Maybe DeSantis specifically could also benefit. Let’s make him “benefit”. /s
Bring back? Slavery isn’t gone. It’s still allowed in the prison system.
They did. It’s called the 13th Amendment.
I think people misunderstand the 13th as simply ending slavey, not so. There is a very very large EXCEPT in there and it becomes clear why 🚔 🚓 👮♂️ 🚨 🚔 🚓 👮♀️ 🚨 🚔 they have so many problems because of law enforcement
I mean, has anyone really crunched the numbers on if that’s possible? If not I say we look into it maybe.
Nature has you covered.
Nature will have Florida covered.
When you realize that Florida man can and does run for office 😵💫
Dear all those people that made this happen.
Fuck you.
Learn to swim, I’ll see you down in
ArizonaAlabama Bay.I sure could use a vacation from this bullshit three ring circus sideshow.
Fuck Ron DeSantis and fuck all his clones.
Fuck these retirees and fuck their short memories…

Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure politicians
Believe it’s called the Gulf of Mexico already lol
It’s a reference to the song Ænema by tool
I mean I get that but you’d still be swimming in the Gulf of Mexico if Florida were to break away from the continent, they wouldn’t change the name to bay of Alabama
That’s like saying the song would be incorrect because technically they’d be swimming in the Pacific.
Welcome to Otisburg!
Don’t worry, they’re the first state that’ll be underwater from climate change and simultaneously one of the biggest deniers of it. No sawing required.
Actually according to the documentary “the Day After Tomorrow,” NY will be the first state underwater from climate change.
With the amount wallstreet has profited off of oil, they also deserve it.
Bro that is movie for adocumenttary it is over the top with the drama in the family
Well Florida is a quick second then as flood maps show it being halfway under water from a few additional feet of sea water.
Unfortunately, I think at least half of them are just smart enough to migrate before that happens.
After George W. Bush was selected by the Supreme Court
Brooks Brothers was the proto-Proud Boys.
What the fuck
First time hearing about that?
Imagine having the US having a president that actually cared about climate change. The powers that be couldn’t risk another Jimmy Carter.
Government bodies selecting election winners is all the rage these days
DeSaster once said that being woke means “war on truth” What the fuck do you call this then? Cuz this ain’t it, chief.
The ironic thing is, we have a quasi-official definition of what “woke” means from one of DeSantis’ goons:
The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” He added that DeSantis doesn’t believe there are systemic injustices in the country, reports Florida Politics.
I guess if that’s the case reps can’t complain about “welfare queens” Because systematic injustice isn’t real
You sawed off too little keep going with Alabama and Missouri.
