Fascists love your strategy and support.
When Trump ran the first time, I made the point to everyone I know that even if you yourself aren't racist, if you vote for Trump, you're voting for racism, so the difference between you and a racist is too negligible to count.
The same is true of anyone willing to vote for a transphobic Democrat.
Single-issue voters are the bane of democracy and progressive progress. And nothing is more ironic that voting to sign your own death warrant.
So.why are you Blue MAGA types so gung ho for doing it?
You understand that Neoliberal Austerity is the breeding ground of fascism, right? You are advocating for continuing doing the exact thing that made Trump viable to begin with. Blue No Matter Who is just MAGS with extra steps.
Since you'd like to be an uncivil little bitch, you can fuck off to my block list.
This is how MAGA I am: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_v._Eiland-Hall
Where's your fucking receipts?
Yeah. You're not really beating the allegations here.
The fact that you think that's "receipts" is hilarious, honestly. But just in case this is your first time back on the Internet since making the website that I'm very sure you really are the person who made: Blue MAGA is a perjorative thrown at people who are just as deluded in partisan non-reality as the red hat crowd, but Blue flavored. The Blue MAGA prefers the lies on CNN and MSNBC to the lies on Fox News, but is just as attached to their preferred set of lies as the red variety. Y'know. Like someone who thinks Glen Beck matters all that much in the grand scheme of things.
You're a coward and a fool
And you seem to be a bootlicking supporter of genocide, transphobia, and Neoliberal Austerity feeding the rise of Fascism.
Which makes you a multi-millionaire or yet another recipient of the DNC's biannual "Fell for it again" award. If you're unsure which, check your bank balance.
The fuck are you on about
That's about the level of intelligent discourse I expect from Blue MAGA. Thanks for helping make my point.
I'm British you fucking idiot
And I'll bet you fell for the bullshit about Jeremy Corbyn being Antisemitic, too, right?
Neoliberal partisan blindness knows no national loyalty.
No you dipshit.
You're a fed right? Only explanation for your absolute bat shite behaviour
Blue MAGA is nothing. Dumb ML communities on the internet try to make it a thing, but you guys are irrelevant.
Then quit blaming us when your shitbag genocide enthusiasts fail to win the quadrennial popularity contest.
Exactly, now shut up and vote for our Blue flavored genocide!
This article tries to claim that Xavier Becerra is transphobic, as if Steve Hilton isn't infinitely worse (also Becerra isn't transphobic, he correctly stated the CA state constitution doesn't protect trans people playing in sports - you can go ahead and research his support of trans people yourself).
You're a joke of a human being and you're causing far more damage to trans people pushing messages like this.
