Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who is currently running for governor of Alabama, went on a 20-minute, lie-filled rant on the Senate floor accusing trans people of being violent and “deranged” and proposing that the United States bring back mental institutions to house them.

Tuberville claimed there is a “rise in violence coming from people who the left refers to as transgender.”

    Conservatives will always look for ways to oppress as many of the normal people as possible. This is because all conservatives have a deep, instinctive need to harm others.

    When conservatives have power, they will always use that power to oppress the normal people. Always. Throughout all recorded human history, the conservatives of every civilization have been the source of every act of oppression ever commited.

    Tuberville’s comments are comical, but the absurdity comes from genuine, pure evil. We rationalize that evil by calling it conservatism. But that’s all conservatism is. It’s just evil by every definition of the word.

    Projector jokes aside, who cares if trans furries fly plains? The whole entire internet would probably implode and disappear without them. Their backs must be broken beyond repair with how much they carry the web.

    We need to start promoting and supporting trans and drag queen baby sitters. Because I know my kids will be safe, unlike leaving them with one of these churchy, sexually repressed, authoritarian assholes.

      Nothing they do isn’t intentional.

      ‘Furries’ are a bit weird, so its an easy target. There’s apparently a disproportionate amount of pilot furries. Pilots affect a lot of people. Since furries are weird, they are an outgroup. The outgroup they are targeting is transgender. Saying the transgender group is both weird and threatening gets people’s attention weather or not its true.

      They don’t intend to make anyone believe anything, other than the transgender outgroup is bad.

    "Tuberville claimed, however, that affirming parents are guilty of “child abuse.” "

    Wouldn’t be suprised if they find child porn in his computer in the next year or so.

    Maybe the speed running community is over representative of trans folks, but I would feel quite safe in their hands. Those guys, gals, and nonbinary pals have crazy control of their manual dexterity.

    They must have accidentally targeted Hearts of Iron IV gamers with the recruitment ads. They did this to themselves. A mistake in their eyes; but I’ll take a Hearts of Iron themperor over a CoD Nazi anyday of the week.
