      Some of the worst offenders of oppressing minorities were closeted minorities themselves. A lot of notoriously homophobic leaders turned out to be gay. It’s like they’re trying to overcompensate to be accepted in the group they want to fit in. Human psychology of fitting in your surrounding social group is a weird thing.

        I think it’s a really weird confluence of acceptance seeking mixed with internalized homophobia from a religious upbringing. There’s such a strong self hatred they can’t help but take it out on others, because they feel:

        1. Jealous that they don’t get to suck cock too (or for the ladies, have a meal at the bearded clam).
        2. Jealous of the self acceptance others have had. That is, if they’re gay, “why don’t they hate themselves for that too?”
        3. Enacting violence against someone like that is a perverse proxy for violence against the part of themselves they hate the most.

        But like, that’s just my opinion, man…

      She’s also really homophobic, and anyone whos been a 17 year old lesbian knows and felt a little worried and possibly had an awkwardly consummated crush on the local exactly that bitch. Mine grew the fuck up though.

    Valentina Gomez, also known as Valentina Gomez Noriega, was born on 8 May 1999, in Medellín, Colombia. Her early years were shaped by a strong sense of discipline and commitment, values that would guide her in academics, sports, and leadership. In 2009, she immigrated to the United States with her family, a move that would open doors to higher education and career opportunities.

    Gomez’s Colombian heritage plays a significant role in her identity. Proud of her background, she often speaks about her home country and her desire to give back, primarily through community and nonprofit initiatives.

    No idea what the fuck this website is but that seems exactly right somehow.

            Back when the Tea Party was doing its thing, my parents were all “oh this Tea Party is so much worse than traditional conservatives” and now with trump they’re all “trump is so much worse than traditional conservatives”. No, these turds have been stinking up the joint for fucking ever. They just have more power now (a lot more) than they had in the past.

    I thought: Certainly referring to terrorists, not immigrants in general?

    It seems that the original post has been deleted for violating the TOS of X (quite an achievement!). Screenshots of it show “This is cheaper than deportation”, which I can’t verify, since it’s not on archive.org. If true, this post would be correct.

    She reposted later with the text: “This is cheaper than deportation. Public executions for rapists and murderers.” and a slightly different picture from the same set.

    Which is not true; death penalty is really expensive. Could only make it cheaper than deportation without due process, possibly implying that intentionally.
