Probably God Awful Movies, I would guess.

Honestly, "corporate mainstream media sucks" is a thing most people agree on. I know a guy who voted for Trump at least once who has been turning away from that kind of politics lately, and it's this kind of message I hear him repeating. Now, I'm sure we have different views on how to solve that and what alternative sources should be used, but if it's something to agree on, then maybe it's a point of leverage.

Nursing home? They can figure that out on their own or they can eat shit. I'm not doing anything for those fucking Nazis anymore.

I don't pretend to know how to accomplish this. I may be completely wrong here, but two things that have to go:

  • Religious thought ("faithbrain" or the Peter Pan-esque belief that things are true because you believe they are true, despite a lack of evidentiary or even argumentative support, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary)
  • Social media bubbles (billionaires controlling the content people see, creating bubbles of "information" that skew the public in their favor)

There's almost certainly more to do as well, but those things stand out to me. Also, it seems hard to believe that we could make any progress on these fronts given the current situation.

I voted for a similar measure in Colorado!

Officer pulled me out of my car, threw me over the his, wrenched my hands up behind my back... Because my registration was out of date.

No, they mean closeted gay men. Because that's how they think gay guys should be when they're normal.

Yeah, I didn't know people were just giving out basic necessities. I've been allowing people to exploit my labor for nothing this whole time?

And that being gay was bad. It was not conveyed well in our media, and our culture was full of negative connotations with non-heterosexuality. I feel you on this one. Bi people exist, and we're everywhere!

When a conservative asks you for sources, they do so in bad faith. They don't care about engaging with reality. It's a deflection tactic.

Yeah, and "womanfriend" has a real incel vibe to it.

Well I don't know that I'd call Mike Pence a chad...
