What fearmongering do you find laughably wrong? What do you witness everyday that makes others clutch their pearls while watching the news?

    An oldie but goodie, how the tea party fucks always ranted about FEMA death camps. It was beyond absurd.

      Yah, I mean a disaster agency running death camps was always farfetched. OTOH we have clear precedent of the US gov running death camps vis-a-vis the Native American reservations, Japanese-American concentration camps, the shit they did in the Philippines…Ironically, it actually isn’t super crazy to think that the US would put you in a death camp if they decided you were the ‘wrong’ minority (waves hands at current events). They were just wrong about ever being even remotely targeted for that.

        Everything conservatives cry about ultimately is a projection of their own wants and desires.

        FEMA Death Camps evil? Not when Trumps making deathcamps in the swamps.

        Healthcare Death Panels? Not a problem, when its republicans dictating that women have to die from miscarriages.

        “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!” Republicans are thinking of children, alright… Which is why you shouldnt leave them alone, unsupervised, with any children.
