President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
yes I am trying to convey the idea that a "community" of a few thousands people is equivalent to "nobody gives a ****".It Is like I claimed nobody gave a **** about Bitcoin in 2012 ok? not on mainstream radar at all, not a political issue.why do lie about the timing in the bold? Obama "interpreted" title ix to include trans people end of 2014 he talked about transgender in the
Technically the Obama administration leaning on Title IX goes back to 2010. It was just an informal memo by some policy stooge.
The Obama administration didn't make a show of their interpretation of Title IX until HB 2.
But Title IX has been around since 1972 and there was no legislation passed until HB 2
I don't find straw men analogies helpful. But if you have a specific position on something, you can state it, and I'll provide an opinion.
Many people on the right are driving around in unmarked cars in plain clothes and kidnapping people with no criminal record and then shipping them to a black hole of a prison in a country they've never been to.
WHATS THE PROBLEM?!
Also why aren’t we talking more about super cool guy cryptobro El Salvador ‘president’?
This dude is a ****ing abomination
I’m glad people like you are making noise and holding them accountable to conducting the deportations humanely.
Serious question.
Do you not understand the seriousness of the issue, or do you think it's funny in some way?
The problem isn't whether X person was a gang member, or here illegally. The problem is using people's fear and hate as a tool to justify undermining due process laws. If you allow that to happen, you are on the road to dictatorial rule.
Anyone w/ a brain cell should be against this and stand up for the rule of law. It's not a complicated issue.

The point is that I don’t see a place to compromise on the trans issue. Either the self is discriminated at the expense of the trans identity or vice versa.
My claim: the trans identity cannot deliver on any of its promises of lasting happiness and fulfillment. The self can.

Oh ya, I forgot... you're the silly bear.
In that case, I'll keep it simple. Are you all knowing? I'm guessing not.
That being the case, just let people live their lives. You don't have to agree w/ any of those things. They aren't going to impact you in any meaningful way at all. <---- this is the sense of fairness in light of the fact none of us knows it all.
Your way is NOT fair, and is saying... oh, I have this kooky view of self that most people don't have. So hence, people have to think like I do, or they are wrong. I need to dominate them, and they need to adhere to my view.
Another example:
I'm not going to try and force you to understand why your premise and world view is absurd, because it really doesn't affect me in any meaningful way. You live your life, I live mine, and we all go our own separate ways in peace. You know... like adults should.

Trump is basically copying his playbook. A long and historied playbook with multiple examples, but he might be the most recent.
Within the next year or two there will likely be some sort of "domestic terrorism" event that this administration will use to try to justify further slides into authoritarianism. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but if that does happen then it was 100% fabricated for this specific purpose. This is what I believe happened in El Salvador in 2022

If you are standing up for the rule of law then you should support deporting anyone who is illegally in the country right?

I think you misread my post.
I’m sincerely glad the left are keeping the heat and the spotlight on the current administration to conduct the deportations humanely.

DUE PROCESS.... this is the rule of law. <---- this is what separates America from countries w/ autocracies.
This is really not hard to understand. Do you want an autocracy?

No... I understood.
You didn't understand my post.
The problem that we should ALL CARE about... is the undermining of the rule of law. If you allow presidents to do this, you're going to lose the things you value most.
This really is not a left/right issue.
lol at the notion that creating policy to give free cosmetic surgeries to inmates that costs regular folks hundreds of thousands for citizens not in jail is not politicizing it
your level of confirmation bias is impressive
You seem to misunderstand this situation and treatment. There are a miniscule number of medical cases where this is seen as a medically necessary treatment to solve a serious condition. That is the consensus opinion of medical professionals.
I don't think it is particularly political to cover it the same way other medical disorders of a similar seriousness are approached. Deviating from that and making it one of your primary campaign messages is politicizing it.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Self relationship has been widely understood to be beneficial long before trans became salient.
Self affirmation. Self awareness. Self acceptance. Self development. Self actualization.
Trans has simply parasitized itself onto this structure designed for the self.
And again, many other identities seek to replace the self as well, not just trans.
You are clearly out of your depth to be opining on this stuff.

she even says "medically necessary" multiple times
All prisoners get medical care deemed "medically necessary". Its protected by the constitution.
The question might as well have asked "do you plan to uphold the constitution?"
Which might be a turn off for some conservative voters, I guess.

So you're all knowing then? Got it.
I got my degree in Philosophy, and studied ancient greek, and read things like Plato in the original text.
The etymology of the world self, comes from the greek word ouisa.
I may or may not be out of my depth, but I've probably thought about these things more than the average bear.
I'm not here to have a metaphysical debate though, but you seem to be.

Well of course it is. I've seen multiple conservatives say eff due process the past few days. They do not care about the constitution at all.
Just one example from tiktok:

You are truly wasting your words with this clownass
To be clear, Mongoloid’s worldview (which can be expressed by a lot of the passive or explicit MAGA ‘but seriously how dare you compare us to Nazis’ worldview) is if you’re a naturalized american citizen you have rights. If you’re white you have a say. If you’re both of those things and a trump supporter you get to mandate how everyone outside of your clique is treated and call them sore losers (lol what?) if they complain
If you’re not a citizen of this country you are entitled to nothing and what happens to you you deserve by the fact that you’re not a citizen and no further evidence needed
I was willing to waive the whole ‘ya MAGA are shit people but they aren’t nazis’ til you all decided random deportation of legal residents with no cause and wanting to expand that to ‘random deportation of US citizens through imagined cause’ is both legal and justified
Y’all MAGA shitpeople are Nazis. There is no distinction required anymore
Honestly shame on me for giving you the benefit of the doubt

So, what then? The self isn’t worthy of your consideration when thinking about the trans identity?
How is that a sufficient analysis of the issue?
Do you care more about the truth or the “progressive” agenda?

I hear you. And I've read enough of his views to understand where he's at.
I'm picking on this specific issue of due process, because I think it's the simplest to understand.
I believe MAGA when they say they love America. I also think they're correct in assessing they've been screwed over, and life is harder for middle class and lower income people. I also get most of their culture war issues.
I guess my naive hope is that some of them will see through how this administration is using their grievances, to undermine the very things that actually did make America great in the first place. And that they aren't wrong to be upset, but they are blaming the entirely wrong people.
I never see people as entirely bad or evil... but more so, just people trying to get by, that unfortunately have some bad ideas.
So, what then? The self isn’t worthy of your consideration when thinking about the trans identity?

I'm just going to say this one more time, and then move on.
Neither you nor I, know everything. Hence, if an issue doesn't directly impact you in any meaningful way, the best... the smartest, the most enlightened thing to do, is just allow people to live their lives, assuming they are not causing harm. You're just wasting your time, energy, and efforts, trying to control others, and that never ends well for either party.
We don't need a metaphysical discussion to understand this.
I don't know what you guys are so puzzled about.
You enter the country illegally. Due process is you get deported. it's quite simple really.
