    Michigan Arab community, a majority of who voted for Trump in 2024, are outraged that the man who instituted a Muslim travel ban in his first term, has done so again in his second

  • If your numbers are accurate it puts an even stranger light on those trying to justify “teaching the DNC a lesson!”

  • What exactly is the lesson? “You can get us to vote for more of the evil you support if you make us mad enough”? The Overton window is a flat circle?

    I really really don’t understand why “if you won’t stop our extermination then we’ll fucking directly vote for it” teaches the DNC any lesson at all except “we can be guilt free collaborators and reap all the benefits”

  • “We’ll show you - we’ll pick the guy who wants the genocide just for the real estate opportunities.”

    I’m all for sending a message (and honestly one is more than deserved for the DNC and their role in all this) but this is the definition of cutting off the nose to spite the face

  • We aren’t talking about the majority of homophobes; we’re talking about homophobic lawmakers who push for anti-gay legislation - already performative of “banning” or “being tough on” their other “sins” like drugs or crime, and they keep getting caught doing drugs and gay things.

    Statistically there are far fewer politicians than LGBTQA folks. So when some sociopath rises to power because they figured out they should be “tough” on all the things people hurt them for, all the things people appear to dislike, you’re not gonna get people with empathy who speak about a brighter inclusive future, you’re gonna get bullshit artists who draw on their own pain and twist it into a performance of what, in their mind, people seem to want. They prey on the prejudices of the masses.

    And it works. The anti-drug politicians get caught with coke and speed. The anti-sex worker politicians get caught with prostitutes. The “save the children” freaks get caught with underage kids. The “fiscally responsible” get caught insider trading and money laundering. And the homophobes get caught with men.

    Because the biggest flaw of democracy is to allow a person to deflect all the hatred they receive back out into the world and if they can perform it charismatically enough, they can use it to rise to power. Hell look at Trump, that’s how his superpower works. He can shit talk anything, and it fucking works on just enough people that it’s always been worth it for him to do it.

    So if you are someone who sees the “anti-LGBTQA politicians are always closeted!” (or, are someone who is using/making jokes with it!) and it upsets you - make sure you understand that it’s not a comment on LGBTQA folks as a whole, it’s a remark about how society who’s majority is empathetic (normal humans) yet prejudiced (unfortunately currently also normal humans) will elect people who speak from their pain, and those abused by it will exploit their suffering to give that crowd exactly what they want.

    The sociopath cornered into being closeted their whole life will scream from the rooftops about banning homosexuality, because not only did people stop hurting them but now have rewarded them greatly.

    So no, the majority of homophobes are not closeted. But I’m willing to believe that doesn’t hold up in Washington.

  • A grim poll shows most Jewish Israelis support expelling Gazans. It's brutal - and true

  • Well that fear is being exploited by those with more sinister motives.

    Just because you can understand how we got here doesn’t mean that it’s ok, or even inevitable.

  • ELI5: Why does time slow down for something as it approaches the speed of light but then are suddenly fast when they are the speed of light or faster?

  • It’s not just your perception - your actual atoms slow down in “time”. This is because any movement they make, from their vibration alll the way up through chemical reactions and physical movements, from your metabolism to your thoughts being transmitted through your neurons, will require acceleration towards light speed from their already high speed.

    The faster you move through space, time literally moves slower- you sacrifice one for the other, like a ratio.
