    ^ And this is why liberals so goddamned always lose.

    “Fascism is here, now, today. We have to fight, and that means preparing for violence because it will to that.”

    “NOOAAWW! You used a BAD word! STOP!”

    When the trains arrive, be aware, you’re not going to get your choice of gendered potty, probably have to shit where you stand. And stand in it. Feel free to police the language of everyone around you though!

    You gotta give it to conservatives! At least their messages are on point and they stick together. Meanwhile, liberal’s squabbling about, whatever boolshit it is today…

      They’re not disagreeing, nor withholding support because of a word, so your argument does not apply.

      Politely pointing out that a word is dehumanizing is completely valid and we should all strive to be more compassionate with our language.

      It does matter.

      two things can be true.

      yes, liberals are heinous with their policing of certain words, particularly when there are much bigger issues to address.

      also, yes, calling people illegals is also dehumanizing. no human is illegal on stolen land.
