How do you even reason with that level of crazy?

Ha! While I don't disagree, I'd call that something else...

As I told a vocal person outside of a polling place once, I'm not here to reason with you. I'm here to defeat you.

If a party loses enough times, they start to see reason.

No they don't. They double down on crazy like Boobert's statement about secession

RanchAndGreaseFlavor t1_jadaz85 wrote

Boobert! 🤣

I was thinking yesterday, “Man, she’s got some huge tits.” I’m sure she pushes them up as well. She knows exactly what she’s doing.

But that’s classic republican ladies climbing the ladder. Not the boobs so much as basically the best looking they could be and definitely white, because the old white guys that hold the keys to her advancement get their kicks chatting it up girls that remind them of when they were dating a hundred years ago. Big knockers is just a bonus.

It’s in politics and professional school. It also pisses off the rest of the people in professional school, in my case, because these ladies get more of the professor’s extremely limited time, and because he wants to chat her up, he’ll also give her better grades just for existing.

Once we graduate, though, these bimbos probably should just go into politics as a Boobert, because they didn’t learn anything in school.

Brilliant strategy, Booberts of the world! Might wanna have a plan B for when your face falls off. Just an idea.

Run for office. Still have a week to gather 10 signatures to get your name on the ballot for the May primary.

Randomename65 t1_ja9xrod wrote

Speaking of which, if anyone lives in the West Shore School District I could use some more signatures. While you only need 10, it is recommended you get 3-5 times as many incase they are challenged.

Edit: I need Republican signatures most of all since School Board is one of the few offices you can cross file.

If you are not a republican then you need a republican buddy to circulate for republican signatures. Prohibited otherwise.

You can't and that's the problem. When people believe their beliefs are divine you cannot reason with them. You cannot even talk to them. No amount of reality will ever trump believing their beliefs come from an infallible god.

Anytime an org is called XX for Liberty or something you can assume its goals are exactly opposite the definition of liberty. Kind of like how the more references to democracy and ‘the people’ there are in a country’s name, the less democratic they tend to be.

Like, the People’s Republic of China or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Same for orgs that include "freedom" and "patriots/patriot/patriotic"

Jamie Barton, a freshman state rep from Schuylkill County, was a board member of the Berks County Patriots group before getting elected last fall. (Who knows, maybe he still is, since conflicts of interest are draws to them!)

It's nothing short of a little homegrown domestic terrorist incubator. They don't stand for anything beyond their neighbors who don't agree with them being the enemy. When Dan Meuser first ran in 2018, he was a guest at one of their meetings and stated that liberals/the left are the greatest threat to national security this nation had ever seen.

They're nothing more than a hate group.

My line of thinking re: this nomenclature extends to business, too. Patriot Gutters, etc? Probably run by Someone who's nationalistic at best, maga at worst.

Anyone who calls themselves a patriot, isn't.

They feel they have tolerated the left for too long already. Everyday is their judgement day. And when that day ends with no rapture then there must still be evil to purge.

Does this observation apply to all the initiatives and ideas that include words like "equity", "equality" and the like?

69FunnyNumberGuy420 t1_ja9gwjp wrote

They're not insane, it's just a bunch of bullshit they spew to justify hurting people they hate and forcing their will on everyone else.

 
For the Qanon people, they do not want to imprison pedophiles so they're attacking Democrats; they want to attack Democrats, so they paint them all as pedophiles and child traffickers.
 
They'll repeat any bullshit that gets them what they want, because words have no meaning to them.

That seems like case study insanity

69FunnyNumberGuy420 t1_ja9hr69 wrote

Nah, they just don't care about truth or fiction, they'll say whatever gets them what they want.
 
Jean-Paul Sartre wrote this about a different kind of bigot a lifetime ago, but the meaning still stands:
> Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

 

They hate gay people, if smearing all gay people as child abusers gets them the outcome they want they'll do it, even though the idea is absurd.

stevez_86 t1_jacg04b wrote

Another take on that is Orwell's thoughts on double speak. Politics of the English Language is excellent for understanding how fascists love doublespeak because they get to speak the truth to their cohort but demand the benefit of the doubt from others.

And you think this means public school are intentionally hiring pedophiles to abuse kids?

Intent? Can you prove this? Unfortunately, public school systems have even higher rates of sexual abuse than private or church communities. Predators seek opportunity to work with children and they're in employment in every sector.

It sucks because, let’s all be honest, yea, there are some deranged adults out there who prey on kids. So that modicum of truth is all these people need to blanket-statement everyone involved in schools or even “the left” as Tromba is quoted in the interview.

I will never speak for God, but I will say that I have a hunch God doesn’t want to be invoked in a flimsy way as justification to hurt people who aren’t like you, let alone cast as “evil” half of the country who doesn’t vote like you do.

While it is easy and understandable to get angry at these people.. instead feel blessed that it is them and not you. I cannot fathom living even a single moment in the world these people think they live in.

While this could be just people making up bull to get what they want.. I think it is far more likely these people have lost touch with reality and actually believe what they are saying. That must be torture.

So I won't get mad at them.. but instead feel sad for them. I hope they get the help they need.

pa_curious_mom t1_jaasht2 wrote

Nah. I don’t feel sorry for them. Not when they push their hatred into the schools. They defame good teachers and librarians, they malign kids who aren’t their exact image, and they seek to turn public schools into their own publicly funded Christian schools. I don’t care if they never get the help they need quite frankly. That’s not my battle. I just want them to stop targeting our schools and our kids. (Caveat: I am a school board member who has been in the local chapters cross hairs for nearly two years. Fun times)

It’s hard to know if they truly believe this. It may well be that they are leveraging this pedophilia angle to simply gain more power. They don’t care who they hurt in the process.
