    The listed excerpts are actually quite tame compared to what the actual plan is.

    slashing U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security

    invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the DOJ to pursue Trump adversaries

    create a federally funded “American Academy” that would deliver online courses and grant free degrees that excluded “wokeness or jihadism”. The plan would also be funded by taxing the endowments of major universities

    every state report exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method

    I stopped looking, not because there was any shortage of further crazy shit. There’s plenty more.

    Number two seems good. The fbi shouldn’t be conducting illegal investigations. The reasons they want it are not the same reasons I want it, but a stopped clock yadda yadda.

      Unfortunately their definition of an “illegal investigation” is as well defined as their definition of “woke”. It just means anything that they don’t like and can flexibly be applied to who is doing the action.

    I mean, the FBI SHOULD be reviewed, audited, and have all their nazis purged, but good luck getting that done under either party.

      No no, why do PROGRESSIVES hate freedom so much whilst conservatives work so hard to make sure everyone has the freedom to own a gun and debt?

      Edit: Really? The /s wasn’t obvious here?

            No. It’s not. It’s close. They’re mocking the person who took any side. There no side to not commit xenocide and the democrats will knot not do it. We don’t have much time left. Their might be one “president” left after this one. I assure you it don’t matter who because everyone will die on this planet.

    Pornography should be outlawed

    I mean, it’s quite a departure for a party that whinges about the First Amendment to straight up move to the government controlling what can be published, i.e. actual literal censorship. But hey, conservatives aren’t very logical.

      It is right up there with the same people arguing for abortion because one should be able to decide what medical procedures (including drugs) should be done to them also arguing for COVID vaccine mandates, i.e. arguing that people should be forced to take a drug.

      But then that’s one of my biggest grumps about pro-choice arguments (and I am pro-choice) - there’s a tendency to argue that supporting abortion is just an application of some broader principle but also to have abortion be the only controversial case where that principle actually applies.

        Except nobody was physically forced down and vaccinated against their will. You can still choose not to be vaccinated, but choices have consequences. I’m not saying the government should arrest people for not being vaccinated, but people, institutions, companies and hospitals should definitely have the choice to not want to let those people inside.

          “Choices have consequences” is not something that should be said in regards to a government coercing you about a matter of your rights.

            Nobody is coercing you to do anything when your employer doesn’t want people spreading disease in their company. Nobody is coercing anyone if e.g. hospitals refuse to hire someone who hasn’t had certain vaccinations. It has nothing to do with coercion. It has to do with the fact that actions and choices have consequences. You don’t get to willingly disregard (the safety of) everyone else and expect to be welcome everywhere.

            If I choose not to shower, and stink to high heaven, some employers won’t hire me. If I choose not to wear shoes, or walk around in my underwear, I will be denied access to many places. Does this mean I am being coerced to shower and wear clothes?

            Actions have consequences. It’s just that simple. You can always choose to not do x, but when it’s a requirement for y, you won’t get to do y unless you do x. And speaking of rights, what about everyone else’s rights to not have to sit/work/eat/wait next to Typhoid Mary? Or is it really your opinion that whatever someone does, their right to do whatever is more important than the rest of society? Do you think businesses should be forced to allow anyone inside no matter what? Employers are not allowed to set requirements for their employees?

      Same as r/conservatives was.

      Projection is the game. You see these wackos all over YouTube bemoaning “my comments keep getting deleted” (which doesn’t seem true), yet go on their turf and they’ll happily silence you as that’s different.

      Reminds me of “the only moral abortion is mine”. The only people being silenced is us, what we’re doing might look the same but trust me bro it’s not.

      Not even remotely, sex work is still work and trying to abolish it just marginalizes people into perilous compromising positions

      It is based. However I don’t know if banning porn will work.
