Duh, this is your party, Bobo.

It turns out that the Republican Party is chock full of Republicans.

What was the highest number she reached in the polling during 2020 primaries?

It’s not really any of my business if another person is vegan, as long as they’re not trying to shame me into abandoning meat.

^ Probably the right position in both directions. I don’t really do any advocacy or even talk about it around omnivores as a general rule. About the most I’ve discussed it is online and only just to note my experiences. I don’t think running around trying to proselytize and shame others over their chosen diet is all that useful. It’s more annoying than it is effective. Some vegan/vegetarians, especially if they’ve just adopted the diet about five minutes ago, act like born-again xtians in many aspects and it is insufferable in my view. I’ve definitely had my run-ins with performative vegans or vegetarians and it’s quite off-putting.

Someone I knew kind of casually from work-related things was a much older guy who had been a vegetarian since the 60s and I had observed him over many years (as an omnivore) just quietly not eating meat. He would answer questions when asked, but was not out to scold and lecture or even really talk about his diet at all otherwise. I think he set a great example.

It is a little sus that they get mad at someone eating something that isn’t a “beeg juicy steak”, like they’re Mr. Pottsdam or something.

Yeah, this. Most of the conversations that I have had are usually from omnivores with constant passive-aggressive remarks or unwanted dissertations and what-if scenarios. I find it rather baffling. Just the act of eating and not having meat on the plate really seems to provoke a certain kind of omnivore.

In general, if someone asks about it in good faith, I’ll give what my experience was like and what our family tends to eat, etc. Beyond that, I’m not out there to be the vanguard of plant-based eating, LOL.

I would love to see that being a prominent part of the platform. Along with many more kitchen table issues, yes, but I hate it when Democrats are such pussies about stuff like this.

Who knew something associated with Epstein would be soulless?

Not to mention that there are two creation myths in there, nearly right off the bat.

Skeptic’s Annotated Bible is really fun.

If someone tells you they believe in the literal “word of [their] god” (and by that, they are being very presumptuous and assume everyone should just assume that they mean Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah when they say “God” and using KJV or NIV as the text), it might get interesting to ask them which version of the creation myth in there do they think is the real one?

Huh, I was told that kneeling silently while a piece of cloth was displayed and a song was playing at a game - was “disrespecting the troops”. I was told that not supporting whatever elective war the conservatives wanted to wage on brown people was “disrespecting the troops”. Meanwhile, funding troops when they were back home and their service and/or the war(s) they were in were over…eh, fuhgeddaboutit.

I don’t think the conservatives really understand the meanings of words. I guess breaking someone’s arm/hand is respecting the troops? As long as it is being done by a conservative?

LOL, “quasi-dove”?

WTAF? The dude has been invading American cities, FFS. And bombing fishing boats. And saber rattling against virtually every fucking ally we have…

So, they are admitting they broke the law, then?

It was right in the headline, but even if it wasn’t, we could play “guess which party?” before reading further, and it’d be easy to get it right…

I would think this is not a bug, but a feature, when you are in the conservative party.

It’s awfully interesting how the narrative about how the “youth will save us” seems to look more and more ridiculous by the day, and I am really beginning to think the war on the boomers/Silent Generation is orchestrated and being used to further divide. It wasn’t the boomers on things like 4chan, it wasn’t the boomers trying to “red pill” and “black pill” people.

Oh, FFS.

Don’t cave to these assholes, Jared.

Oh, I 100% know their bullshit narratives and little games they play. By their measure, there is literally no way to know who is “anointed” by the character of Jesus, since they have zero standards obviously.

By this measure, I can claim the people they most hate are anointed by the character of Jesus from “the” bible, and they have no real counter for it. I can find the most antifa and queer vegan Communist BLM member (or Bill Clinton, or Hillary Clinton, or Obama, or Kamala, or Biden…since they tend to claim these people are all those things, LOL.) and claim I have evidence they are “anointed by Jesus”.

They will actively combat that state, since “woke” is something they were trained to believe is bad.

These people are still sleepwalking after they supposedly voted for dimbulb donnie because “price of eggs”.

Dimbulb donnie gets into office and proclaims “affordability is a hoax”, and Republicans steal many necessary safety nets right out from many people, and these dipshits still have not removed their lips from around the base of dimbulb donnie’s mushroom.

Conservatism causing brain damage?

I would think letting Faux News and hate radio take a daily dump in your head might actually have measurable effects at rewiring your brain in harmful ways.

It’s so weird that cuckservatives are letting Donvict have his way with America.

I’m not vegan. It’s absolutely a sustainable diet, however : I know several vegans that have been vegan for years; in some cases for decades. Personally, I’ve been mostly plant-based (100% vegetarian, but don’t eat much dairy and eggs, while I don’t take pains to avoid them, either) for over two decades.

In any case, I’m not sure why omnivores as I’m describing feel the need to disagree with vegans/vegetarians. The kind of thing I’m talking about is how their toxic masculinity is triggered - it seems to challenge the very core of their being to even know that vegan/vegetarians exist and without their permission, LOL. They seem especially triggered by men not eating meat.

So Jesus chose the pedophile on his third wife?

Alex Jones been doing that kind of thing since the 90s (at least).

One fairly reliable test to find out if a man (or woman) harbors some toxic masculinity - ask them about vegetarianism or veganism.

Few things will have a certain type spewing forth some of the most ridiculously asinine and sexist things like veg_n diets, LOL. Things like “soy boy” and silly discussions about how “men are inherently hunters” and lots of bro science about protein.

So yeah: if he leaned on the elk meat as something a real man needs to do…not surprising.
