I think that it will not be waged between North and South for state rights, but rather between Republicans and Democrats for human rights. It will happen before our 250th anniversary in 2026.

    What is it with you lot with your obsession and fixation on rights? Why do you want the government to dictate your thoughts and actions so much?

      Why do you want the government to dictate your thoughts and actions so much?

      I want the government to protect me from the dumb fucks that actually do want the government to dictate how I should live my life. It’s the pieces of human garbage that want to tell men they can’t marry another man, that tell women they don’t have autonomy over their own body, that want to stop the teaching of the theory of evolution and include prayer in school, that want to dictate others’ lives.

      Those calling for more rights aren’t asking for the government to dictate anyone’s lives. They’re literally doing the opposite of that.

        Enforcing policy is dictating lives though, how about just use a different name for marriage and do a different ritual? Unless that’s only if you actually only care for inheritance laws.

          how about just use a different name for marriage and do a different ritual?

          So you want a separate name and ritual for people who aren’t like you want them to be, and expect everyone to believe that it will be equal?

          No. Everyone knows how “separate but equal” pans out in the “equal” department.

                  You know what? I really, really do.

                  Every single one of you should walk off of a cliff. It would be the best thing to ever happen to humanity, hands down.

                  So yes, please, die, you transphobic piece of baboon shit.

                  Isn’t it lovely when one side tries to paint it like they’re SO innocent?

                  “I’m just talking about the soft genocide of people born into the wrong body bro. Don’t worry we’ll ease into pulverizing all the rest of the cripples next until only proud strong genetic linages with blond hair and blue eyes remain so that humanity can prosper in in absolute monochromatic conformity! That’s an opinion men have because they’re strong.”

                  Don’t lie, I am not far off.

                    Not a fascist, I advocate for a socialist planned economy where everyone is taken care of. So who is the fascist advocating for violence?

          It’s not an infringement of your rights to stop you from beating/killing people you don’t like. It’s not an infringement of your rights to allow others to do things you don’t want to do yourself.

              We tried that, several times, each time the south did something stupid like dredd Scott or Jim crow or the kkk.

              The only way to stop them from trying to keep brown people as pets was to send soldiers, they don’t understand any other language.

              They don’t though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are “people” out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.

                  I’m going to guess you’re Christian. I’m also going to guess you don’t see one bit of irony with your statement.

          Giving trans people the right to healthcare only affects their lives. So tell me again how this terrible government overreach occurs when we say “you can’t make laws to restrict someone’s freedom”?

          You can’t, because it doesn’t.

            Trans people have the same “right” to healthcare as every other American.
