    Ughhh I just assumed this was some random nut… But no, it’s a state representative. WTF is wrong with people that vote for this garbage.

    Just for fun I looked up his stance on gun control. Seems like he wants to do everything he can to stop any kind of initiative there.

    So for anyone keeping score:

    Gender affirming care = punishable by death

    Kids getting shot = A-OKAY!

    This comment is going to be banned, and I don’t care: GOP candidate himself deserves to be executed. This world has no place for bigotry like this, and the world would be a lot better without the likes of him.

        .world at least in the past has nuked entire threads because of comments could be construed as promoting or celebrating violence (because they were celebrating the death of a certain healthcare ceo by bullets). Maybe it was just one trigger happy mod.

            He ought to, since he was with me in a country bumpkin bar in Wyoming for the entire week that this event supposedly happened. Maybe after he is acquitted, they can find the real perpetrator!

          Maybe it was just one trigger happy mod.

          I got hit with the ban hammer once for saying “justice should be done.” Another time, for saying “let nature take its course.” Then there was the ban I got for advocating violence because I’d made a comment about running out of pins for my Trump voodoo doll.

          Their mods are on a hair trigger, but only if your political orientation is not fascist. It was all about malicious selective enforcement and vague, convoluted pretexts. So I used a script to edit every single post I ever made, replacing their content with lorem ipsum, and walked away almost three years ago. Fuck 'em.

    Someone needs to check his hard drives. When they go that extreme it’s to distract/hide something vile.

    Politicians who clamor for the death penalty should be used to test out more humane methods of execution. When one of them can report back on their experience, we’ll stop. Until then, nobody gets death penalty.
