The only person to have universal rights in this country is a straight, white, able-bodied, Christian man.
The only person to have universal rights in this country is a straight, white, able-bodied, Christian man.
And, don’t think I’m just hating on these guys. I’m married to one and raised three.
Jess, and I am one of 'those' men.... who are in total agreement. Our society is WRONG... Period.
I am one. White males ARE the problem.
CHRISTIANS? Jesus Christ
Then define a motherfucking question because what they call Christians now are not goddamn Christians! Is it the same for your family? Are y’all motherfucking Christians? Are y’all Jesus Christians?
This is wrong! They might be the only one *presumed* to have defensible rights but they will be stripped of them at the whim of the regime.
Not as long as they kiss the ring...
Right. You could add "who never criticize the madman figurehead" to the OP but then it's self-contradictory. You have rights on paper if you don't exercise those rights.
Understanding I'm living in the immense privilege of relatively small fears and threats to my rights.
For now. Trump will come for the the those identifying as a member of the Democratic party.
Aw man Jess, you married one and then you made three more of them!!? Unbelievable; this will *never* end!! 😜
I am one and raised 2 but my wife now needs a passport to make sure she can vote without me being present so I think you're on to something. Fascism truly sucks.
Yup
I'm working on a passport this summer as well... a cya move
You definitely need to. We moved from TX to Michigan so we, especially my wife, could have less fascism in our lives but that's just a band-aid.
Step one. Give up the Christian bullshit. It’s fascistic, mysoginistic, and meant to oppress.
I'm not a Christian. I was raised a Christian but I'm a Unitarian. But, as a white man I am generally extended the privilege accorded to white Christian men so I acknowledged that in my response.
Understood. I used to be universalist
I don't think Unitarians are considered "Christians" in Missouri. Heck, I was raised ELCA Lutheran. Missouri Synod Lutherans don't consider me "Christian".
Yeah. I'm aware. There are Unitarian Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, etc. Evangelicals just view all as hellbound. Lol
Since there are morons in the room, let me clarify. If the SAVE Act is passed in the Senate and implemented then my wife, who changed her last name when we married, would need additional documentation to ensure she is able to vote. She got the passport to be ahead of the game.
Had mine renewed last month for this same reason.
I believe that’s true if you register. But I also believe it is true that if you’re already registered, then you don’t need to prove anything. Especially in MI where we’ve beat back the GOP. Maybe I’m wrong?
Not in NC
We moved from Texas though. Things were different there. Ha
Good for you and welcome to a free state. My aunt got out of Dallas a couple years ago. I always hate going there for work.
Thx. It's not a liberal/progressive utopia but it's far better than TX and definitely a "free" state in comparison to the faux freedom/liberty hellscape we left behind.
Ladies, don’t change your name.
Smart. I'm thinking of doing the same.
And, as anyone who has actually researched the SAVE Act knows, a DL may not be enough for a woman who changed her last name. My wife now carries her passport, DL, a copy of her birth certificate, and our marriage license in her purse after she had hell just getting her license changed when we moved.
Yup. The privilege is real. I know what privilege I have as a white guy. That god my sexuality isn’t written across my forehead.
The Perpetually Protected Class 🙄
Having a high income doesn't hurt either.
Well, their version of it, anyway. Deluded and demented as it is.
Ironically, Trump is neither able-bodied or Christian. Most of the time he isn't white either.
😂
Booooo!
With money.
You nailed it. Christian Nationalists have taken over our country and most people don’t notice it or don’t care. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Because they hide behind "OUR church isn't like that." Sorry, ASHLEY, but all of you are like that. Silence means you're complicit.
They will soon. Workers, military and breeders are what they aim for, the rest of us are disposable.
😡
Yep that’s the plan!
There is nothing Christian about these men. “Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in deed and in truth” 1 John 3:18
Sounds a lot like the way Hitler used to talk.
Pedophilia is not straight, he’s hardly able bodied or Christian, his insistence on orange makeup is questionably white. And his rights were not given but purchased. So yes, you’re basically correct.
Precisely.
Straight white able bodied Christian male capitalists
A very loose interpretation of “Christian” as well
You get the most privilege for your buck by not being Christian at all, but claiming to be whatever sect is convenient
The "right" kind of christian.
Yes. The fake kind. Not actual “followers of Christ” but guys who use the word “Christian” to exert power over others.
When they add “patriot” it makes them uber special!
Right. Give ‘em a big gun and they’re uber duber special.
Technically, they're true Christians. St Paul taught them a new faith, distinct from what Jesus shared.
God dammit, Minnesota!
💯💯💯💯💯💯
The kind that would have fervently kicked down the door of the barn to shackle baby Jesus and send his family to a foreign concentration camp. And that's before he started pitching his views about empathy, protecting the marginalized, and condemning the wealthy.
Must be this kind so.
Good job on the quote marks. Got have those. Seriously. Not joking. Nothing Christian going on.
Eyup. Even though I AM one, I am appalled
Truth. This must be changed!!
👏
You forgot rich.
That was their open/ in the air transmitted plan all along
Don’t forget not poor
They aren't fucking Christians. Christians wouldn't treat people this way. These are wannabe Nazis.
Take out "wannabe". We have to start calling Nazis Nazis.
We are not a free nation
Don't forget that they have to be rich also.
The full on Nazification of the US has begun.
And I’d put “Christian” in quotation marks
Don't forget cis.
I'd add card-carrying white-racist MAGA Trump-worshiping, GOP sycophant to that list.
*+right leaning
You forgot republican
Wish the media would start calling the supreme court what the six are: the corrupt court! 😡👎
Christo-fascist America.
And, even then, he'll be aggrieved about something.
And a 34 count convicted felon who blew his father’s inherited fortune and then decided to launder money for Russian oligarchs.
Conservative, too.
We are all birthright citizens. If our indigenous peoples had more power, they could send us all packing. I am disappointed in scotus.
You are too kind. I’m fucking pissed. Glad it’s Friday that’s for sure.
... and that's only if you have MONEY.
I would add affluent to that.
Fuck me, that's the OG constitution.
… the term “Christian” is widely misappropriated in the U.S. by people and “churches” advancing essentially satanic agendas. Christ was a champion of diversity and what today would be termed a radical socialist. @usatodayopinion.usatoday.com
Also that doesn't make them completely safe that makes them possibly the last to be effected but not safe.. capitulate or work with neither let's you get a free pass in this moment remember I was only following orders is also not a valid legal excuse.
KKKhristian closeted white rich man.
Sadly, democracy doesn’t mean much to the white-and-wealthy among US. They have all the freedom, justice, and equality they want. Democracy is built on the margins by the unprivileged who need it most. Black voters have always known this. Brown voters are learning that painful lesson.
For now. Then the categories will be narrower, for example add “Republican” to the list of adjectives.
you're forgetting rich..
Religion, any and all Religions, are the greatest cause of hatred, wars and deaths in all of world history. Religion is just another word for entitlement.
Their ENTIRE goal
@papst-ny.bsky.social
Unfortunately
Ruling caste privileges
or 5 million to get in & stay
Jess, add cis to your list and then yep, those are the only ones who’ve got rights. I’ve never been so happy as to be past reproductive age at least. And they wonder why women are less inclined to have babies these days? Obv those women are paying attention to this chaos, especially in red states!
You can thank Leonard Leo. He spent 35 years and $600 million creating that court. medium.com/@thcarter123...
And made himself very wealthy along the way.
Who hurt that fucker?
Yes, and now he’s the president of the heritage foundation. Every single bit of the shit going on right now is all on Lenard Leo, all of it.
All of it. And still next to zero media scrutiny.
With the help of Andreessen, Thiel, Musk & Crow he’s finally achieving his plan. Every network, should be explaining the connections between Thomas, Alito, their wives & Silicon Valley billionaires. He is behind every SCOTUS decision & Dump is doing his dirty work & soon Vance will pull the 25th.
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind Never let's in the sun Darlin', only the good die young Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa I tell ya only the good die young Only the good die young Leonard Leo will live to 100
Plus we really don't know if they are really straight. If they are, they probably are abusers.
I believe that's exactly what they are arguing. They want to decipher the Constitution (only when it fits their narrative unlike 2a only meaning muskets) that it should be read as if it's 1776 right now. So don't be surprised if your list here is limited even further to add "Land Owner" as well.
Always has been.
💯
This is all that America is, a country dedicated to the glorification of all straight, white, able-bodied, Christian men. Everyone else, is tolerated for a time
I don't consider them Christians. They are not Christ like.
Used for a time and when that usefulness ends, so do you.
"Work us until we drop."
I wouldn't refer to them as Christian. More like cult devil worshippers🙄
Yes. The only one with body autonomy and inalienable rights.
Let’s be perfectly clear…Christian NATIONALIST man.
I’d put Christian, in this case, in quotes.
Which is exactly MAGA’s intent. They don’t even try to mask it as something else anymore. The goal is straight up Gilead.
Sound familiar Jess?
Exactly.
And they want to keep it that way.
For @ the past 15 years, D's messaging has failed and it's getting worse. What we're doing isn't working and life will get worse unless and until a team of geniuses can motivate voters. I'm not going to say what it is but there's one issue that's reallly hurting us so D's must surrender.
Straight, white, able-bodied, Christian men are the most oppressed people of all time. They are forced to work high paying jobs with great benefits and live in McMansions. The horror.
And that’s how they always had it and always will have it
Which is exactly what those very cowards want. How they stand without a spine is impressive, if nothing else.
That's probably how it is now but I suspect theirs will be stripped also after all the others. trump only believes he should have any rights not conferred by him.
You forgot “must be MAGA”
‘Christian’, I would definitely put that in quotes because most of them certainly are NOT displaying very Christ-like behaviors.
Does the straight, white, able-bodied, Christian man have the right to an abortion? Bec that would be an end-around they never saw coming.
Regardless if he rapes, lies, steals, cheats or sins in a multitude of other ways.
Yap , that’s their mentality. Please take care my dear sweet friend Jess and please stay safe and healthy💕🕊️💕🕊️💕
The only people to have rights are those that can afford a lawyer
Don’t forget, he must be wealthy.
White, male, straight, wealthy, gunslinging, professed Christian = untouchable.
Not true. They just have to be white.
Non-rich white men are cannon fodder.
Naw, the millions of white American males living in abject poverty just aren’t bootstrapping hard enough. That must be it. Otherwise you’d have to imagine that malignant narcissists with unlimited resources pit lower socec classes against each other to maintain the status quo. And that’s crazy.
Unforunately not anymore with the SCOTUS ruling today basically saying POTUS can knowingly violate your rights and your only recourse is to sue the government. If you cant afford to sue the government in each state your rights are/would be violated, then you are screwed.
Republicans have hurt a lot of poor white people, too.
Money helps for true Rights, otherwise Cannon Fodder
Only if he is not low income.
Yeah..."Christian"
I mean, obviously. But that’s not a discussion most people are willing to have yet.
So who do you mean cause Conny May be straight and white but able bodied and Christian…….nahhhhh
Money also matters, but being a white man gives a whole lot of privilege.
And somehow it’s still not enough.
Or those MF afrikaners that the orange asshole let into this country!
And yet they constantly whine like they're victimized every day of their privileged lives.
Making over $250k
The more money the more rights for them and the white wife and their white kids. She and their daughter can have “any reproductive healthcare” they need, anywhere, anytime. If they go to jail they don’t stay.
“Christian”
Let there be no doubt in anyone’s mind.
For now, until it’s discovered they are anti Trump. We are only 6 months into this nightmare. Think what will happen in the next 3.5 years!
I study the 3rd Reich. I know exactly what’s coming.
And it's a damn shame
Don't forget rich. Cis, straight white, Christian, male, rich, landowners.
Able bodied? Well, I guess but with 'addled mind' Able body, Addled mind. Another RW sex offender. RJ May of SC has been charged w/ distributing Child Porn & sex w/ Colombian minors. So many in RW. why is that? There must be something fundamentally wrong with RW fundamentalists. Hypocrites & liars.
He also has to be rich...
I am reminded on my time in a Boston, MA north shore town where some town hall attendees said that that there families longevity in their town gave their opinions more weight than newer, taxpaying residents. /ctd
And btw - what counts as white? I am waiting for the first swarthy, sun tanned US citizen of Greek or Italian heritage to be picked up and detained by ICE.
Makes me want to scream.
And not one of those “men” will be applying for the jobs vacated by the kidnapped immigrants.
Soon, they will force the poorer among the MAGAts on the fields and in restaurants. Not that I would be too sad about this, but still...
The poorer MAGAs will be applying for Medicaid.
...which Medicaid?😁
The leftovers…..
I'm not sad either.
But what if the said man has a foreign sounding name? Like…Hungarian?
And what a piece of work that fucker is.
You are correct. This is the dystopian world they want us living in.
Who is a registered Republican.
And they wonder why women don't want anything to do with men anymore. Who wants to be treated like a 2nd class citizen?
Let me tell you. I’ve been married & divorced twice. I’m 52– I have my own house- great job I love- just me, my 21yo daughter and my girl dog. I have a sig other but he lives 250 miles away so we see each maybe 7-10 days a month. Never been happier in MY LIFE. The lack of testosterone is heaven!
It also helps if they’re a collegiate swimmer with a “promising life ahead“ or silver spoon children.
And rich. Wealth is equally important.
Yep!
If they want to create whjte Christian straight men, are those maga actually gay?
Christian?
And it’s fucking ridiculous.
You left out Republican
So-called Christians
Unless he’s poor. Then it’s no food or medical care for him …
Don’t say that too loud or they’ll make it a law and we’ll be dressed in ankle-length red robes with hoods😔
with lots of money.
Tall
Unless you have that photo of JD Vance on your phone, I guess…
I think even they only get a presumption of rights.
“Christian” is doing a whole lotta lifting here 😏
Agreed. I’d have put the word in quotation marks.
Yep! We are going to end up with the Russian economy and the Christian Right version of Sharia Law!
I believe you meant to say White males who claim to be straight and Christian.
With enough property, cash, and or land. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK.
Thst certainly leaves me out.
At this point, the only person to have universal rights is a straight, orange, semi-ambulatory, "Christian" man.
Unless they step out of line and criticize the regime!
Nope. Even he has no right to question government or to joke about the Dear Leader.
Super rights! From rape, incest, fraud& other whitecollar crimes up to & including murder & child sex trafficking. What’d I leave out?
We have a really nice estate nearby for alcoholic priests to recover. More for their hypocrisy column
Yeah and “able bodied” is a sliding scale.
Same as it ever was....
You need to add "fascist" to your list.
Its not over yet!
"Christian Nationalist" man...
We’re turning into a Western version of Iran or Saudi Arabia basically. But without the oil, unless you count snake oil
Again, greatest country in the world my ass.
Canada & Europe are better examples of free societies than the United States is. Also, with free healthcare in Canada for it's citizens & with stronger social safety nets in both Canada & Europe than we have here in the US, both Canada & Europe treat their citizens better than we do here. Cont...
The United States is a fucking joke right now Jess. Greatest country in the world my ass! Not under Republican rule with a complicit Supreme Court. Republicans trying to rip away Medicaid. Taking away a women's right to choose. Now, Birthright Citizenship is on the block. Cont...
Some of us have known this our whole lives
Ain't that the truth?
You forgot Republican
And continuously without interruption since 1789
Truer words…
I'll add rich and connected. The poor and middle class nobodies on that "privileged" list are going to find out soon enough.
FAFO
Just the way they designed it.
Not of they are poor.
The only person to have universal rights in this country is a WEALTHY, straight, white, able-bodied, Christian man. FIFY
… for now. They have a habit of eating each other once they’ve run out of other things to eat.
Thank goodness there are so few of them able to meet the "able bodied" criteria.
Unless they are poor
I can't think of a less deserving type of people...
Well, "Christianized" anyway...or identifies as... Following the basic tenets not required
You need to put quotes around the word Christian, ie “Christian”
Specifically Christian nationalist
you forgot RICH!
who is willing to swear a loyalty oath to our KKKing
you forgot to to add "property owner" to that list if you think people should have the right to stay in their homes.
Please, please, please, people have to stop including the word "Christian" in their description of all white men. There are millions of good, decent white men and some may even be republican, but the maga faction are NOT good Christians. They're fucking assholes.
“While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” ― Eugene V. Debs
A rich one.
And republicans.
*and wealthy
Nah, won’t be long until they start to figure out their rights are disappearing as well. There’s no honor or loyalty amongst liars and thieves.
If any of those speak truth to power, they'll find another reason to send in the cosplayers to abduct them. Some of these folks who have a "as long as it doesn't affect me" attitude because they are closer to the end of the line than the beginning need to realize; You're still in line.
They are the cancer.
Haha...there are none.
You're right back yo 1776. Congratulations 🖕👎
Do we have any of those?
I got white (kinda) on there... I mean, the majority of my lineage is from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Germany, but I also have Native American ancestors.
Oh no. Trump & his corrupt regime have indicated Native Americans are not citizens. Since you're "from" white Europe, they'll probably send you to Japan or Taiwan. You know some place where English is a second language & you've never lived. I can't believe this is America.
Yeah, it's really fucked up out there. I remember one conversation I had with a MAGAt on Twitter (back before the Muskrat takeover) where the MAGAt kept telling me I should be deported... even though my people were here before his. I'm like... wtf?
Only the rich people that have paid off or sucked up to Trump are going to be safe
Not even that’s gonna save them
So far…
You forgot the monied part.
Rich. You forgot rich.
Some of the Latinos with ICE have made a devil's bargain.
Don't forget married to a woman who pops out a kid every 12-18 months.
Together, arm in arm we're going to change this bs
And ONLY if he’s a rightwing nutjob MAGAt who *never once* dares disagree w/ #TreasonTrump! 🚨 #FascistGOP has ALREADY STARTED wiping even nonHispanic/white/male/christian/citizens from every gvmnt database when they speak out against Trump…preparing to disappear them to ConcentrationCamps in Africa!
I hate it
With the trust fund to keep a lawyer on retainer..
How long does that last? I am betting it will soon be only those that fully agree with this abomination of a government will have any rights of any sort.
It's always been this way. This isn't new.
No matter how mediocre or how much of a pedo apparently.
Heavy quotes on “Christian”. Anyone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ is a bleeding heart liberal.
There is nothing Christian about what is happening.
