What’s going on with the politicians in Southern states? Why are they spending time making these pointless laws that often infringe on the rights of their constituents? How are people okay with being dictated what books their children can read?
- crooked-v 4y agoHate politics need an underclass to target and oppress. In the US that used to be Black people, but then Black people became too popular and too well supported; and then for a while it was gay people, but then then gay people became too popular and too well supported; and now the target is transgender people and gender nonconformists. Consider the quote from Lyndon B. Johnson: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." Now just swap out the hated group. That's why people are okay with it.
