man I should just become one of these morons and get my bag. it seems like it wouldn't even be hard, just write a shitty essay where you espouse your terrible beliefs and then start a gofundme.

espouse your terrible beliefs

One thing that always makes me laugh is for most American Christians being a self-proclaimed Christian is just them saying its their lifestyle brand. After a simple intro: "As a Christian..." - they can spew their hatred, racism, etc. It doesn't work at all if they say something like "As a huge fan of Chick-fil-A... I don't think trans people should have rights."

I don't know what you're talking about, this is extremely aligned with the Chick-fil-A brand.

But some rightwing turd can't write a NYT op-ed and use their devout Chick-fil-A fandom as an rationalization/excuse for intolerance.

True, but let the libertarians cook and that might change.

This girl probably got so much attention because the person who failed her is a trans woman. Religious cranks are a dime a dozen but this incident is a perfect storm where a queer person in a position of authority put down a white catholic.

The Alex Jones pipeline - he used to be a leftist until he figured out grifting right wingers is more profitable because they are more stupider.

He got lost in the sauce though.
