Yes.

We should move away from gendered bathrooms entirely and into actual single person stalls with doors that close completely with no gaps.

With all their projection and proven propensities to being predatory, yes. MAGA aligned individuals should be wearing red stars on their sleeves so we can pick them out and avoid them.

I mean they kinda wear them on their heads. It's nice to have them self identify as someone you don't wanna be around

That's the best thing about Trump supporters; they are so overly extroverted with their believes that you can spot them, their cars and their houses from miles away.

I wish. A lot of them are like what you describe, but many are "not very political" people who have literally zero knowledge of what's happening in the world but insist on voting anyhow, based on what the shitheads in their lives talk about.

Examples would include people who never had heard of Charlie Kirk until he was dead but had no problem believing their friends and relatives saying he was a good person without attempting to know what they were actually agreeing with.

They can take it off though, we need some sort of identifier they cannot remove.

I just assume all republicans are pedofiles

It took me a moment, I was wondering why you spelled it like that then realized it's a similar phonetic insult as MAGAt.

It isn't even far-fetched to do.

No chance I'm ever leaving my kids with any americans. Sorry, but there's 1/2 chance you don't care about pedophilia, not taking any chance.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

there’s 1/2 chance you don’t care about pedophilia

that's pretty generous of you; i would say it's more like a majority given at how much americans are just letting it go.

Americans have been conditioned since a young age that they can't do anything about what the government does. The population has been subdued while teaching them of freedoms and liberties while never questioning whether those things apply to them. The tools are there but they're all brainwashed.

[–] MerryJaneDoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Because we teach kids all about civil liberties while mostly ignoring civic duty.

Civil liberties are 100% dependent on citizens completing basic civic duties. If people aren't willing to do the bare minimum (like vote), then we end with a society of people who just want all the good stuff and none of the responsibility. Which is pretty much where we're at today.

and proudly so somehow.

do not get me started we lost our only single men's shelter in the region because the no one else on the homelessness program's board of directors wanted to fight a reputation war against a pedophile priest that we would have won, but it would have cost enough political capital (basically, we'd have lost 3 donors) that we would have had to delay opening our new shelter we were building (the one on my street) by two months!

They should be banned from all public facilities and if caught face a class 5 felony like Idaho does for Trans people.

[–] shath@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

yes it's at the bottom of a creaky mine

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

Shouldnt this apply to all the righties in general?

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Keep them away from the mens room too.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 days ago

Yes we must think of the children of course.

Nah. Segregation isn't the answer.
