Totally normal to suggest a ban on pregnant foreigners, the forced sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry, and the dissolution of the United States, when the supreme court doesn’t rule in in your favor.

    Yea yea, insane sterilization comment. But y’all he wants to literally break up the United States.

    1. Dissolution of the Union

    Over the 14th amendment. You know, the one we passed as a direct outcome of a failed Civil War insurrection.

    I don’t think we should let this guy just walk around. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.

      Agreed 100%. Constantly feeding the trolls is why they run everything now. They feed on attention and must be starved.

        Slight correction. They’re not not feeding trolls, they’re platforming extremists to shift the Overton window further right. Most news media in the US is right leaning now.

      I’ve been saying this for a while, but it’s still relevant. You need to view US politics under the lens of professional wrestling.

      Of course they print this, and of course you’re going to hate it. That’s the entire point. These absurd people saying hateful things are the heels, you’re supposed to hate them. It also makes you like the faces even though they’re lackluster. Posting articles like these online in some sense of (lazy) advocacy or “staying informed” simply reinforces the worldview they’re pushing. It’s all propaganda.

        It’s all propaganda.

        It’s why even though I do hate and blame the greedy narcissistic assholes that run the government, the ones I hate THE MOST are the propagandists.

        Without pieces of shit like Sean Hannity and to a slightly lesser extent every other corporate media outlet the greedy narcissistic assholes wouldn’t be able to thrive in the way that they do and we might actually be able to live in the same “reality” as the rest of the population instead of being fed different versions of reality to fight over.

        I’d love to see the propagandists put in front of a firing squad. Air that shit for ratings, corporate fucks.

      Yes! The only reason these freakshows ever get heard is because of reporters giving them a platform.

      Sadly, that is what the media owners want.

      This is how Rupert Murdoch built his empire in Australia and then brought it to America. 30 years later. Everyone is copying him. He ignored traditional news and wrote sensationalist headlines.

      The media needs to call out the crazy people. Everyone has a platform online, which means that crazy people feel validated. Just because someone has a hundred thousand followers doesn’t make them an authority, and the media needs to be critical in what they promote

      But emotional responses make clicks. Angry and scared emotional responses make more clicks. And clicks are the only thing that matters to these people.

    It is time for us to shift the Overton window back with opposite and equally absurd proposals.

    We need to open foreign maternity centers so that we can grow the number of US citizens.

    So, you need to be sterilisied to go on a holiday to New York? What about business trips? Wouldn’t that completely kill any form of international trade? Unless that’s the point.

    Meanwhile China is allowing Europeans to visit visa-free without any hassle…

      I don’t think it’s a great idea to equate racism and nationalism with mental illness, considering it’s clearly not disabling in any way and sort of dodges accountability for those perpetrating it.
