(3,287 posts)What chaps me is Muriel apparently feeling the need coming to the rescue for some alleged slur. Two things: what I said about "good americans" was aimed squarely at the sentiment expressed by William and also implied by others upthread. Just because something is law does not mean it is just or equitable. The abortion ban is legal in some states - but gosh, it's the law and I must respect it (sarcasm intended).
Let me go on the record right now for agent Mike. Very plainly, I don't consider that it is possible for Trump to win legally. Period. Hence I cannot support his installation under any circumstances. If the "law" allows it -then the law is a sham and deserving of nothing but contempt.
The term "traditionally disadvantaged" was my attempt to use a catch all term that encompasses out groups targeted by republicans in general - not only LGBTQ. I believe it's apt because while some out groups may face relatively greater hurdles, they're all thrown together into the big republican bucket-o-contempt, and their existence used as talking points to further an anarcho-capitalist agenda.
In 2019 I was called into jury duty to a large municipal court. I refused to take the oath. I was the only one. People stared at me and I was sincerely frightened that I might go to jail for contempt. Try that sometime if you feel so inclined. Most of the cases on the docket were landlord evictions - and suits for damages. I figured there was a good chance I'd sit for one of those. I'm not participating in such farce. Neither will I participate in, pay homage to the law, or respect any "law" that permits that human piece of filth to again inhabit the White House.
