“Anti-capitalism”, right there, AND direct “hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality”, if one takes American televangelists as paragons of American morality.
_ /\ _
Hearing “anti-morality” from the child rapist is surreal.
In the land of the rapists, the woman with a whistle is the criminal
Extremism on migration, race and gender?
Well… that’s the GOP
Extremism depends highly on what you define as normal
Gives it away that “Christian white cis male born in the US” is what they think of as normal.
I wouldn’t even deny that in a sense my views on “race” and gender are extremist, even if my first thought was the same.
Like, “it doesn’t matter people are individuals” is pretty much by definition on the extreme end.
(Well there’s also “it sadly did matter in the past and even if we instantly stopped all racism and sexism the results will linger so we should see what we can do to get closer to actual equality faster” but that seems like a different axis, even if to conservatives it probably seems “more extreme”)
Are we ignoring this is unconstitutional and against the foundation of the founding of this country?
“Freedom of Peaceful Assembly”
looks at fine print
*Permit Required
🙄 Fucking scammers
“Anti-christianity” is pretty rich coming from the antichrist.
Who do you think has more power over Christians: God or Orange Cheeto?
I’d argue trump checks several of these boxes.
I’d say he checks more boxes than he doesn’t. Though arguably, “traditional American views on religion and morality” could mean believing in freedom of religion and not being full-on fascist. The only one he probably doesn’t check is the one about “traditional Americans views on family”.
Let’s not pretend that this list isn’t designed to target out-groups. The definition is going to be flexible to allow anyone they don’t like to be guilty.
Obviously.
Support for overthrowing the government you say. Hmmmm let me think 🤔🤔 Who. Who could that be?
I wonder who supported the last insurrection…
That list is honestly terrifying.
Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion,
So, like, not separating church and state? Or not being an agnostic deist?
Believing in FSM as if it’s not equally ludacris as mainstream religion, basically being different
Are there actually any unironic Pastafarians? Statistically, there’d have to be a few, but Jesus the level of dumb that would require…
Ah yes, anti-Christianity. The founding fathers would be proud!
Change “anti-christianity” to anti-religion and I’d have a perfect sweep.
I’m low-key relieved that it wasn’t the first one. Like…the list is garbage. Don’t get me wrong.
But it would have been telling if it was the first bullet.
“overthrow of US government”
Lol no. That’s what traitor trump is doing. They’re attempting DARVO lmfao. Fuck this dumb list lol. It’s a patriotic duty to oppose tyranny. If you support this dictator, you are a traitor.
I can at least understand what’s being said by a few of these, but do we have an official, on the books, definition for what constitutes “extremist” views, or what “traditional American values” are in this context?
I’m guessing not, because I’m not sure they know what any of that actually looks like anymore.
They think they do, but they keep the wording vague in their official statements because these rules are not to preserve American culture or their way of life, it’s all vibe based. I don’t like you so let’s see which of these vague statements I can attach to you so that you get in trouble that you literally cannot afford to get out of…
Vibe-based assaults on people’s rights are a traditional American value
Oh, they know when they see it. Its anything that isn’t blindly falling in line with the party line. Simple as.
Someone who doesn’t fit into what they view as “the norm”.
I say, that “the norm” needs to be amended, changed, or done away with entirely.
Traditional american values to maga: lobotomies, slavery, ownership of women, murdering people for their land, and polluting everything.
Sooooo… We’re regressing to the 1850’s. Got it.
Those were the times MAGA thought america was great.
Imagine this whole time they meant a specific native-american tradition by that.
They don’t, but the thought is amusing.
A reminder: To fundamentalist christians, the moment you hear about Jesus Christ, yet decide to not convert, you’re anti-christian until you do so.
Anti Christian is just the tip of the iceberg. Per Christian doctrine your soul is destined for damnation in hell if you don’t accept Christ as the only path to salvation. Why would your life matter if you’re going to hell anyways?
“The power and the greatness of the Ori cannot be denied. Those who reject the Path to enlightenment must be destroyed.”
I love how vague this is. Extremism on gender is entirely up to the reader to decide the definition. To some people 2 genders is extremist and hateful, to others anything except 2 genders is extremist and also somehow hateful.
“traditional American views” is a terrifying phrase for a Government to be using. It’s so heavy with euphemism it’s almost ready to burst.
