For the "Why am I being forced to accept" crowd...

3. I see MAGAs with "Fuck Your Feelings" T shirts and signs. It should be the other

way around.

[Oneironaut]

7. Thats's usually the sign of someone who is overly sensitive and emotional.

The “fuck your feelings” crowd sure loves to perform a good outburst, usually over things like someone insulting Trump.

[Probatim]

13. They've certainly not followed their own advice over these last four years.

[Meadowoak]

26. they think they are the majority

[BattleRow]

30. Ever notice how those so thin skinned

about their own issues are so thick skinned and insensitive to others '?

[Solly Mack]

4. K&R

[Trueblue Texan]

5. Yeah, they believe freedom of speech...

...is freedom to say whatever the hell they want without criticism. Where did they get these ideas, except out of a sense of pure entitlement?

[doc03]

11. That's like Trump talking about Arnold Palmer's penis, the MAGAs eat that up.

How much class can you have when you have a flag or hat that says "F---Joe Biden" or the one Jo
and the Ho and Trump says a shit VP. They are just the lowest class garbage in the country. I live amongst them,
they make racist comments if they see a mixed couple. They see a gay couple it sets them off. I guess I am
stupid, I just can't see how someone else lives their life has to do with my life.

[birdographer]

21. Then I have the same stupidity

It's baffling. All I can figure out is that people like us must be (if not stupid) just very secure with who we are. For some reason I am not even remotely threatened by gay people or trans people. Just because they are gay or trans doesn't mean I have to be. That's one of the differences between normal people and MAGA.

[doc03]

32. I think people that feel threatened by gays

or trans people have those tendacies themselves. I am a 76 year old man, in my entire life the only men that ever made a pass at me were married to women.

[birdographer]

36. Definitely agree!

I don't know about transitioning, but it absolutely is true for many men who are so out-there enraged by gays. Denial is difficult to maintain over a lifetime.

8. i really thought that the OP was directed

at people, such as myself, whose complaint is "why am I forced to accept these FREAKS with their petty, cruel bigotries, their incessant hate, their endless lies, their denial of history, their violence, their worship of a fascist, etc etc etc?"

i will soon be in a situation with my oldest brother. i really do believe that i am past the point of tolerating his racist bullshit. Not that he stops there. My plan is to challenge him to acknowledge that I (me, his liberal sister) am every bit as patriotic and American as he is. I'm not going to start the conversation but I don't believe I can just let it slide as has been done for decades with him. I'm the youngest, he's the oldest. Our sister is declining with Alzheimer's and it's our most likely last chance for all 4 of us to be together at the same time. As it is we generally go years without ever talking, but now. Some things are, or should be, more important than our political differences.

[KS Toronado]

25. Good luck turning your brother from the dark side.

[barbtries]

31. ain't gonna happen,

but i may succeed in shutting him the fuck up for a minute. i'll take it

[GoCubsGo]

9. And, it should be added that this goes both ways.

The "we're being forced" crowd is doing the exact thing they're accusing others of doing--forcing their views and beliefs on the rest of us. What they're really saying is that the rest of us should be forced to adhere to THEIR beliefs, and they're going to scream "persecution" if they don't get their way. Just like they always do.

[True Dough]

10. Good point

We're forced to accept their narrow-mindedness. But I do reserve the right to avoid such people to the maximum extent possible.

[Tommy Carcetti]

12. Exception for Popper's Paradox.

Of course.

[sarchasm]

19. Had to look that up, and glad I did.

Thank you Tommy.

[barbtries]

33. i'd never heard of it

it's a pithy paradox. i like it.

[Emile]

14. They need to learn how to mind their own damn business!

[Wednesdays]

24. Tim, is that you?

[ColoradoHoosier]

15. They're just wired differently...

... and there's not a thing you can do about it. To try to comprehend their compulsive focus on things like this is nearly impossible, if you yourself are not wired that way. My wife has often said... 'If I can just get [right wing person] to read this, maybe...' Doesn't work that way. They do not think or process info the same way. To a degree - a very tiny degree - I can give them somewhat of a pass, as there does appear to be a genetic component at play, at least with some % of them. And the fascist movement began targeting these folks, beginning 50 years ago, because they had that genetic propensity.

[barbtries]

34. i'm glad those genes missed me

because at least one of those people is my own brother.

i think it's more nurture than nature, particularly in the context of incessant propaganda that they've been lapping up for years and years. They have surrendered any critical thinking skills they may have once possessed. In the case of my brother, he came into the whole thing with a sort of rabid racism, and is now fully brainwashed. a foxbot. I truly believe that the architecture of his brain has been altered.

[ColoradoHoosier]

43. I expanded a bit on this in an earlier post...

[Clouds Passing]

16. Just don't force us to accept fascism, their false religion and slavery.

[sarchasm]

17. Don't Tread On Me

They have those license plates here in TN and all I can think of when I see one is this bumper
sticker that says, "No One's Treading On You, Sweetie."

[Mopar151]

42. Careful with that!

I send a friendly note to a gun-licker now n then..".Please place this logo on the rear glass of your transport unit, aligned with the operator and alpha crew positions."

Yours in freedom! SNIPERS FOR PEACE

[JI7]

18. They are the ones that bring up free speech if you criticize what they say

[SilverDawg]

20. Yes!

Thank you!

[Paladin]

22. K&R.

[Quiet Em]

23. Damn right.

We are going to shut their creepy, tyrant movement down.

[japple]

27. The ancestors of these people used the same logic back in the 60s.

I remember hearing "they're taking away all of our rights (meaning white people) and giving them to the colored people. I never got an answer when I asked "what rights have you had taken away?"

[littlemissmartypants]

28. ❤️

[Martin68]

29. They are all a bunch of whining losers.

The laugh about liberals having feelings but their feelings are hurt everytime someone doesn't like what they say our do.

[calimary]

37. How do I love this? Let me count the ways...

One problem with this: who can count THAT HIGH??? Even when you’d reach some big number, you’d still have to keep counting.

[Moostache]

38. I propose a "deal" for these types...

You can openly hate who ever you want and have a line-item social veto on all policies AFTER I get line-item vetoes on MILITARY SPENDING and TAXATION policy.

[bluboid]

39. absolutely brilliant way to state it - thank you!

[Beartracks]

40. Correct. They don't have the right to violate the rights of the people they can't accept.
