Right-wing anti-freedom legislation will NOT stop with abortion, gays, or transgender

[Dans La Lune]

Right-wing anti-freedom bill will not stop with the current menu of right-wing bigotry. Anyone who gives any credence to their arguments is paving the way to the erosion of your freedoms.

"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"

When do either or the parties care about freedom? Most of the major democrats run on abolishing the 1st and 2nd amendments

Well of course not, suppression of rights and freedom NEVER works long term in america.
We atill arent great at fixing things and right wrongs but the vile bigotry against women and sexual orientation and gender is bound to be a loser

for 2 reasons

1.) theres no logical and legit arguments they have against equal rights and freedom, its all the same recycled nutter stupidity that was said over and over again decades ago that didn't hold water then and doesn't hold water now. Its all already been proven wrong and defeated.

2.) while the to many even the majority GOP elite individuals and congress members have this vile antirights agenda millions of every individual GOPers dont even disagree so its doomed long run

this is why so many of these bills etc dont pass and when they do they dont survive the test of time or the constitution.

And the best part is these morons don't learn, its actually the nutters and the bigots that in the long run strengthen rights and they make their worse fears become reality. Why? because their moronic bigoted ant-irights bills and laws are something tangible to be challenged and then actually establish rights and precedence. Happened with interracial marriage happened with same-sex marriage . . if the morons didnt make shit laws it would have taken longer because there would be nothing to directly challenge. thier own hate and bigotry helps destroy them in the end and its sweet sweet irony.

Except the right-wing is actively curtailing freedoms. The left wing is trying to provide healthcare.

Here's what right-wingers also say.

The solution?

Everyone should be communists.

On a more serious note, this is true. Trans people are only attacked right now because they are the easiest socially acceptable group to target. But make no mistake, that line will slide right back to gay people being the main target again given the opportunity.

Absolutely. The right-wing depends on cultural wars to fuel their political power. If they manage to "solve" the transgender issue, they will immediately move to the next culture war issue. It will never stop until they self-destructive, which is inevitable due to the right-wing's inability to govern.

Is there anything in particular that you are thinking about with this?

So what? They are projecting assholes who have no facts so have to project their shitty selves onto liberals. When one side has all the facts, always on the right side of history, the "both sides" crowd can screw off, its just an excuse becasue conservatives have no facts to support their stupid positions.

Right wingers also call highly educated, experiences people stupid, so they have no credibility

Please give all names off the democrats who run on abolishing the 1st and 2nd amendments and provide proof of it.

Did you know that citizens united isn't the constitution?

Your reply was lame and didn't answer my question.

Citizens united was ruled based on 1st amendment protections. That's why Clinton needed a new amendment because it would abolish part of the 1st amendment.

Either you knew this and you are being obtuse or you are willfully ignorant and incapable of doing a 5 second Google search.

Either way you are trolling and a time waster.

I have proven my point.

I'm just bored of this. Each side says the same thing about the other with only the slightest variation in terms.

"Yeah, but they did X." "Oh yeah? But THEY did Y!"

What a waste of time.

It's pretty simple. Crooks who want power and money need votes. Groups of people with social agendas want them made law. Group 1 says 'give us your votes, we'll give you your laws'. Group 2 says, 'good deal'. It's long happened in politics. The corrupt Saud government had a similar deal with the Wahabists who helped them gain power.

If you can't sort out who's telling the truth. It's like saying, 'Russia claims Ukraine is committing atrocities, Ukraine claims Russia is committing atrocities, what a waste of time'.

This is called a false equivalency.

Except that's literally a cause of confusion for right-wingers, just like who won the election.

Lets call it a tie.

The second amendment has little or nothing to do with freedom other than to sanctify the purchasing of a consumer good.

But wait. Doesn't Citizen United give some a much louder megaphone than others, essentially giving them more free speech than others? What about the speech of everyone else? Are we supposed to just let it be drowned out by those who can afford greater voices than the rest of us just because they have access to more money? What's wrong with simply having more equal speech?

And what about all the "dark money" groups that the decision has created. Should there be transparency in speech? Particularly In an election, shouldn't we be allowed to know who is making the speech? Where that money is coming from. Know if the NRA is laundering Russian money for Republican candidates?

Citizens United essentially gives the smaller voices an equal power. Charles Koch is rich enough to afford political ads on his own, but CU allows small people to put their money together to create political ads.

And what about all the "dark money" groups that the decision has created. Should there be transparency in speech?

Anonymous speech is an important part of free speech. I notice you are posting under an anonymous name

I don't think that's really right. "Arms" is intended - especially by those who support them - to mean the power for individuals to defend themselves against would-be oppressors - and that's a form of freedom. The right to bear arms isn't like the right to buy pizza in terms of freedom.

Republicans trying to get their foot in the door: Allow donations, but we are totally committed the principle of FULL DISCLOSURE! That will ensure voters know WHO is donating, which addresses any concerns.

Republicans after they got their foot in the door: banned all disclosure, fully embracing dark money.
