I like how the press release calls a sitting US Senator a "political outsider"
 
What about the BLM movement "erodes the nuclear family"?

Also, the notion that people with platforms shouldn't have a voice is a really bizarre one that the right seems to double down on daily between Hollywood and athletics. Ironically, behind the leadership of people with huge platforms like Rush and Hannity.

There is no greater dreamer than Blondie at the Clermont Lounge. She was old when I lived around there in the early 90s, at least "stripper old" and I guess she's still at it? Or was a few years ago.
 
I've seen that from relatives who are anti-BLM. In their "what we believe" platform, it says this (among many other positive things): "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages" that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable." https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

Oh no! Communities supporting one another as a "family!" She conveniently leaves out the "requirement" part of the sentence that obviously shows it's totally fine to keep the nuclear family but the reality is many people are born into broken families.

A political outsider accused of insider trading. Real Georgia peach here.
 
doesn't get more outsider than the wife of the guy literally in charge of Wall Street
 
Not even Trumpers like her-Trump wanted someone else nominated for that Senate position.

If you ask people like Loeffler, I'm sure they would say that it erodes the nuclear family because it's made up of black people - she's obviously someone who believes in her stereotypes. Conservatives have no problems with right-wingers with a platform having a very loud and influential voice. It's when liberals and minorities with a platform start speaking out that they suddenly have an issue with it.
 
I'm also tired of the lazy use of "Marxism" as a catchall for any non-far right political stance
 
I would think police killing Black people erodes nuclear families, but whatever.
 
There are a few articles I read recently on dissolving the traditional American nuclear family. Really interesting ideas honestly.

Oh yeah. There are some very good arguments out there. But it doesn’t have to do with a BLM discussion.

Agree. Didn't mean to make that point. When you get a chance can you send me some links to what you've read on that? I want to read more.

It's the very definition of the GOP "Draining/Cleaning the Swamp" mantra.

starting to think that "draining the swamp" really is them saying the quiet part out loud.

Swamp = the poorest of society live there, libtards, those gays trying to cancel good Christians, pretty much any of "the other" they want to get rid of. Then you realize the rich are making money off the backs of the middle class and poor in the country.
BAM! Drain the cash from the swamp.

“Cancel culture” is just the latest phrase du jour the conservative simpletons have adopted to generally describe someone who holds beliefs they disagree with. Previously holding this mantle (the long reigning) “socialism” and “political correctness”.

It is a tale.
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.

Another good one is "virtue signaling"

The swamp is a diverse natural ecosystem that is drained for the sake of corporate interests.
