    What caught your attention in the world today?

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Tell it to MaybeeRN - she’s the one who brought up the shooter’s gender identity, claiming that it “changes the narrative”. No one called the shooter a magaphile, a Republican, a...

    I disagree to the extent that the notion of a Christian theocracy goes back way further than trump. The European invasion of the americas was motivated, in part, by theocratic fantasies. Ditto for the...

    I don’t know about ads, but I did watch a recent balenciaga fashion show on YouTube and was pretty repulsed. They seem to have made a big PR mistake. They thought they were going with what sells...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You’re right about simplistic thinking, if you think of a mere political movement. I don’t - I see magaphilism as a subculture that has grown out of the convergence of a number of different world...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Umm … actually, I did blame the magaphile subculture for possibly so damaging a trans child that he decided that murder was their only alternative to suicide (aka self-murder). It amazes me...

    Perhaps if the magaphiles cared more about their transgender kids, the allegedly non-binary Colorado Springs shooter wouldn’t have gone out of their mind. Imagine being raised by people who want to...

    Pornography in schools. Is this "grooming" our children as some angry parents believe?

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Of course it’s a made up word - that’s how language works. Google it if you don’t believe me. If not for made-up words, we’d all be communicating in grunts and body language! If you...

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Like CRT, voter fraud and litter boxes in classrooms, this whole kerfuffle is a solution in search of a problem. You all might check out the process used to include a definition in the Urban...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What are you, seven years old? A liberal disagrees with you and this is your response? It reminds me of the self-described conservative on this site who asserted that she was disrespected because...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Nothing wrong at all … just interested to see how Beerman is conflating somebutnotallconservatives with maga believers. So … that must mean that somebutnotallconservatives believe that trump...

    You were the one who brought up pronouns - my answer didn’t even mention the subject. And speaking of intentions, I’m a practicing witch and deal with magical thinking every day and even I...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If most if not all conservatives agree with trump, why is it “uncivil” to conflate the two? I’m happy to conflate magaphile with conservative, if that’s the way you want it, but you...

    WOW - I didn’t know that! I guess I took credit too soon …. GMTA, I guess. Still waiting on suggestions for terminology that doesn’t conflate magaphiles with republicans and conservatives....

    I coined the term “magaphile” in order to think and talk about the group of people who agree with trump. It was the most non-pejorative word I could think of. I’m open to suggestions for...

    Once again, “some” does not equal “all”. Until HiddenAngel clarifies what she’s talking about, we’ll have to agree to disagree. Meanwhile, I’d like to read your take on...

    Seems a rather tortured misinterpretation of what she wrote. She can obviously speak for herself, but I read it as referring to republicans who publicly bought into the big lie. “Some” =\=
