Little did they expect the black, gay, trans Muslim, with Chinese heritage, who was a former MS13 member, but who also got out of it and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to start a career in science.

Panic grips the RNC, people screaming, foaming at the mouth, scrawling "the end is near" in the blood of an intern on the wall. Pure chaos.

This person chooses to support Donald Trump, and they're temporarily okay

This comment made me wonder what happened to Caitlyn Jenner. I mean not enough to look it up but still wonder.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She's a good candidate for [email protected].

Aaaannnnd she's already there, lol.

This is actually quite progressive. For decades they only blamed blacks, then also a few decades gays and "communists". And now they actually have a new thing every year. They are moving forward with society, always staying up to date. It's like conservatism, but for the fresh cool kids.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We're still getting blamed often. I haven't in a month or two, but normally I listen to a podcast called Knowledge Fight which critically analyzes Alex Jones and a few similar grifters in a taking them in full context way(generally outlets miss the truly heinous stuff Jones says for quick soundbites, and he uses it as a defense to his audience).

Now you may think ol AJ isn't relevant, but you still see right wing talking points come either early on his show or he repeats them quickly. He keeps basically a "rogues gallery" of people to blame for whatever, and BLM, Jessie Smollet, Obama aren't always on the list, but at least one of them shows back up monthly, along with Antifa, Soros, Klaus Schwab, communism, Bill Gates, vaccines, trans people, gay people, China, etc

It's not that they stopped blaming black people (and never stopped blaming queer people), it's that they have so many buzz words to swap us out on rotation. They haven't forgotten though. They still hate us.

What about the satanic panic, dugs, teen STDs (ok that one is fine to be worried about), violent video games, rock music...

My parents listened to conservative talk radio non-stop when I was a kid. I still remember listening to Micheal Savage scream about small meatballs at the restaurant being a liberal conspiracy and knowing how full of shit he was. I was about 11.

I don’t consider this a shitpost.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (10 children)

I've been thinking about it and it doesn't really qualify as a shitpost to me either, but I'm going to let it stay for now unless it turns into a complete clusterfuck. @[email protected], this isn't really in the spirit of this community. A list of people Conservatives have fearmongered with isn't especially amusing, which is kind of the point around here.

2024 - Mexicans at the border (you know it’s already happening)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Issues at the border are only during presidential election year and it will never be for the whole year as the day after voting, conservatives stop mentioning it.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

While I'm in none of these groups, having survived the rock'n roll-, black mass- / satanic(1)-, killer videogame-, terrorism-, social justice- / SJW-, safe space-, socialism-/communism-, antifa-, cabal-, satanic(2)-, CRT- and woke-panic, I feel underrepresented.

2025 - People with disabilities (?)

I don't know let's see in the next year.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Please do not give them ideas.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

They don't need them, I'm fairly certain the new thing to hate/fear is just taken from a raffle ticket out of a pile of different minority groups.

For a party that thinks itself as a pillar of strength and power ..... they sure do spend a lot of their time in perpetual fear.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Discovery was IMHO the most inferior Star Trek, but they nailed this idea when they described the Terran empire. This strong, incontrovertibly evil, imperial monster was born of, and lives on fear. A version of humanity that gave up on trust or hope and became the worst version of themselves.

See they're barking up the wrong tree with gays and trans. No middle class conservative white family ever had their kid sit them down and say "mom, dad, I'm black"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Rachel Dolezal and Nuka Zeus would like to have a word with you..

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Actually, 2020 was the Chinese and county clerks (who typically handle elections). 2023 was trans people and librarians.

Turns out bigots can multitask.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

God, I remembered Asian hate. I remembered getting yelled at in Chinatown by a bunch of black people. Yo, we are sorta on the same team man. I didn't create covid. I'm just here trying to survive, just like you.

2025: poor people (i think they already fear that one)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

There's a kind of always a constant undercurrent of hatred for the lower class with them. I wonder how far the GOP can push that before their voters realize they're the butt of the joke.

Gays got pounded even before 2016. W and his marry men of assholes were going after gays and gay marriage during his term.

Actually now that I think about it I'm pretty sure Republicans were scapegoating gays as far back as Reagan.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Phrasing? Are we still doing phrasing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah whoever made this is young. The anti gay rhetoric was so much worse 1970-2000. Obama was against gay marriage in 2008.

Before 1970 it was barely controversial and everyone thought being gay was a literal mental disorder. Famous actor Rock Hudson had a sham marriage to a woman in 1955 because it couldn't publicly seem too likely he was gay or it would ruin his career. He later got AIDS and asked his friend Ronald Reagan to save his life in 1985 but was rejected because helping a dying gay friend survive was seen as too politically controversial.

Calling any year when gay marriage was legal nationwide the bad year for gay people is absurd.

This chart's not wrong but I'd posit 'muslims' have been an easy go-to since 9/11.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, there's usually more than one of these going on at once. Makes it easier to pivot if they get called out for it being nonsense.

There's always an element of racism running as an undercurrent, so you can pick your Boogeyman du jour, be it Muslims/Arabs (they don't differentiate,) central/south American immigrants, black lives matter, CRT, DEI, etc.

Then you can add some kind baseless moral outrage on top. Trans people existing, gay people wanting to get married, satanic panic, etc.

It's really like a fear cake, I guess.

Don't forget the "small boats crisis", that's the conservatives in a nutshell right now :-(
