And taking away first amendment rights, as bad as that may be, if Trumpy manages to get back into the White House that will probably be the least of our worries.

Who took away first amendment rights?

Where is the government involved here?

You do seem to jump from one idea to the next without a truth to base it upon.

I can't imagine Deplorables ever moving on from disparaging Trans people.

Trans is their new N-Word.

Isn't it odd that people around here condemn her while posting similar things on a regular basis

#11 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-03-20 12:23 PM | Reply

Nope. Neither are real words in English. Trans is a prefix, which means "across" something when combined with something. It's not a real word by itself.

When did cis become a word?
1994
The prefix cis- is Latin and means on this side of. The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender, and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender. The term has been and continues to be controversial and subject to critique.

I told you not to be stupid you moron

Any dictionary which lists "literally" as meaning the exact opposite of literally has zero credibility.

Any dictionary which promotes illiteracy is not a real dictionary.

"The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender"

These were both being used prefixes, as you can see. Although even then, they're being used incorrectly as adjectives when the base of the word is a noun.

See ..

Identity evolves with the outrage, each cycle affecting less and less people but the outrage grows more and more

The history from LGBT to LGBTQIA+
www.nationalgeographic.com

Where as there are real issues in the world like the US education system doesn't cause as much outrage.

It's also interesting how this one incident is more important than the killing of a US citizen by a newcomer.

Quite the opposite, as the tent grows so does the number of people in the tent.

What's so hard to understand about that?

Trump, on eve of fundraiser with Anheuser-Busch lobbyist, defends company (February 6, 2024)
www.politico.com

... Former President Donald Trump offered an olive branch to Anheuser-Busch on Tuesday, issuing a post on his social media platform calling on conservatives to drop their opposition to the besieged beer company.

"The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company," Trump wrote. "Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance? What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!"

Trump's post on Truth Social represents a major attempt at deescalation in a long-simmering feud between the political movement the former president leads and the mega corporation since April 2023, when it came under fire for a sponsored post with a transgender influencer.

Trump's message also comes as a top Republican lobbyist for the company is set to host a fundraiser for the former president next month, with some tickets going at $10,000 each. ...

This is true, but Dylan did post a lot of stuff that came across as misogynist trolling, which also isn't cool, especially when one is promoting oneself as a spokesman for gender tolerance.

Any other stupid statements you want to throw out there? Bud Light knew their customers and should have known better. Their customers held them accountable. They're not victims, they're beholden to shareholders who pushed the issue, moron. They probably would have lost less money by telling the board members to get bent.

So, yeah, Bud Light does appear to know its customers.

But possibly, not in a manner your current alias hopes for.

My guess is that the Lamplighter alias thinks it's being less confrontational by referring to "your alias" rather than "you", but it just comes across as extremely passive-aggressive trolling.

As i have explained a couple times previously ...

When I ran a message board, when a person signed up to participate on the board, they were asked for the "alias" they wanted to use on the board. That was the wording that the forum software used.

Back when I ran a message forum, the software used asked a person for the alias they wanted to use on the board. That is what I mean with the use of "alias."

I also notice that your alias seems to want to degrade itself into ad hominem attacks instead of discussion the topic at hand.

Try again.

You do not know what I think.

For starters, when I switch from "you" to "alias" it is because I have diminished, in my view, the gravitas of the comments I am replying to.

I haven't a clue as to why Anheuser-Busch gifted that single 6 pack of Bud Light to Dylan Mulvaney.

But, I do know the response from Deplorable MAGAt Trumpers, like you, was fury and contempt, fuel by ignorance and hate.

The only people who vote for republicans anymore are angry, stupid people, like you.
