As a trans woman in Texas, this election season has me concerned, to put it mildly. But I’m thankful there are people like you in my spheres of interest. Hopefully one day this will be the kind of thing everyone looks back on in disgust, like “How was this ever such an issue?” Until then, go Owls I suppose
When you mentioned on the Fullcast you were doing a signing at a Baptist church my first thought was "gotta be a CBF affiliate," and lo and behold, Google confirmed. A dear friend
I can't WAIT for this election season to end so all I have to hear during time outs are the clarion calls of Fansville, the Heisman House, and "I woke up the cheeziest, Coach!" (which ironically is something I would probably shout to Tim Walz)
It sucks that the Republicans peddling hate had to get in the way of this being a potential celebration of Kennesaw's upset over a hypocritical diploma mill. It sucks mostly that being against hate had to be said at all.
First, you have highlighted why I always mute commercials during campaign season. I don't even wanna look at the TV. What we are seeing is beyond horrific.
Also, can't wait for the Fullcast Saturday night, and hope you all spend the proper amount of time on the upset of the year that had all college football fans rejoice.
Conservative Harris voter here and still thinking about this ad as a microcosm of the election. When democrats can figure out that the ad was about language and alienation—not queerphobia or bigotry—they will win against awful candidates again. Drop the language and mindset of the elites and maybe you will take back working class counties.
Note: I’m not denying the bigotry, but it’s not the main idea, and calling it such continues to talk past voters who simply don’t want to be language policed by the culture standard setters.
Ask yourself what the ad is meant to make a viewer feel. I think it’s way more “look at the stuff they talk about, it’s irrelevant to your life” rather than “here’s a people group you should despise”
Half of the studies in the extremely biased field of psychology can’t be reproduced and you people are out here thinking that your “science“ is actually real. There’s a reason that physicists and other hard science people laugh at psychologists when they call themselves “scientists“. The Asch experiment perfectly explains how the transgender community has grown. The people who follow it blindly are hyper-conformist and you can get them to agree with anything as long as you put the right vibe on it.
Anyone can play this game. Here, watch. The Asch experiment perfectly explains you hyper-conforming to the world's richest man spending $200M to order you to be transphobic
Cool. Let’s do this experiment which has already often been reproduced because it’s so fun! Do you think the so-called “Progressive” community would support attempting to even investigate such a theory? Why don’t you ask them publicly? You can do a simple study just by asking either side if they would even participate in such a study. You can do the same thing for the conservative side to see if they would squirm at finding out if they’re more biased than logical. I already know which side will run away for fear of looking completely insane, which is true. You should look into cult de-programming, having some understanding of that will help you escape.
"You should look into cult de-programming" is the funniest thing anyone has said to me all week. Thank you for that. I could explain a lot to you if you were smarter
Anyway, so what I’m hearing is that you’re too scared to look at the truth. You won’t even investigate it because you’re so far into the cult. Good luck with that!
I can play that game too: I’m smarter than you, son. As a matter of fact I’m smarter than your whole generation looking at the stats LMAO. I’m out here spitting facts and you’re making stuff up like “I’m smarter than you!“ lol. Very typical. Zero facts, all feelings
Not only are these ads disgusting, but don't people like Trump and Vance realize that if people can make the Trans community or the Haitian community the enemy of the people, they can do the same to the Jewish community or the Indian community? I'd love to believe that Americans can see through this bullshit and understand that Trump has no plans for anyone but himself, but I know that's not true.
I know, but many tens of millions of Americans also don't understand that, I have no idea how this race is so close. For example, I work for one of the largest renewable energy contractors in the country, and I know plenty of people who spend their entire life building wind farms and therefore know Trump makes stuff up who nonetheless are voting for him.
As someone who has attended 2/4 weekly Cal madnesses, it might be more enjoyable with zero emotional investment. But I can basically sit wherever I want.

Crap, finish the thought... A dear friend is a CBF pastor and adjunct sociology prof, and a good example of what lived faith is and should be.

Ads about surgeries are about "language"? Stop making stupid excuses

If you can't hear it that's me yelling "Amen!" all the way from Austin, TX.

It’s funny that when I saw the final score the first thing I thought was “hell yes the fighting Jason Kirk’s just cucked the Liberty Poolboys”
I'm in SoCal and have been seeing a bunch of those Trump "they/them" ads on TV too, unfortunately.
Beautifully written - thanks for that. And congrats on the Owls!
Semantic satiation.
