Totally normal to suggest a ban on pregnant foreigners, the forced sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry, and the dissolution of the United States, when the supreme court doesn’t rule in in your favor.

Yes! The only reason these freakshows ever get heard is because of reporters giving them a platform.
Sadly, that is what the media owners want.
Agreed 100%. Constantly feeding the trolls is why they run everything now. They feed on attention and must be starved.
Slight correction. They’re not not feeding trolls, they’re platforming extremists to shift the Overton window further right. Most news media in the US is right leaning now.
The media needs to call out the crazy people. Everyone has a platform online, which means that crazy people feel validated. Just because someone has a hundred thousand followers doesn’t make them an authority, and the media needs to be critical in what they promote
But emotional responses make clicks. Angry and scared emotional responses make more clicks. And clicks are the only thing that matters to these people.
I wish we see more from the other side like NY Times posts a story like some socialists call for the guillotine to return
I’ve been saying this for a while, but it’s still relevant. You need to view US politics under the lens of professional wrestling.
Of course they print this, and of course you’re going to hate it. That’s the entire point. These absurd people saying hateful things are the heels, you’re supposed to hate them. It also makes you like the faces even though they’re lackluster. Posting articles like these online in some sense of (lazy) advocacy or “staying informed” simply reinforces the worldview they’re pushing. It’s all propaganda.
It’s why even though I do hate and blame the greedy narcissistic assholes that run the government, the ones I hate THE MOST are the propagandists.
Without pieces of shit like Sean Hannity and to a slightly lesser extent every other corporate media outlet the greedy narcissistic assholes wouldn’t be able to thrive in the way that they do and we might actually be able to live in the same “reality” as the rest of the population instead of being fed different versions of reality to fight over.
I’d love to see the propagandists put in front of a firing squad. Air that shit for ratings, corporate fucks.
Ableist slurs are not allowed:

Hell yeah.
It is time for us to shift the Overton window back with opposite and equally absurd proposals.
We need to open foreign maternity centers so that we can grow the number of US citizens.
I know people might have over used the Mandalorian mantra for this kind of thing, but I think it fits here, so:
This is the way.
Anyone born on the soil of a US consulate, lel
This just gives them more reason to push further right.
They’re doing that anyway. To fight the Overton window, you have to go extreme. It doesn’t make sense, but Newton’s laws of motion apply here. An
objectopinion in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an equal and oppositeforceopinion.<img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d690070b-7ec1-44c1-87ae-2732b44ae143.jpeg">
like respect for human dignity?
No. Like over respect for human dignity. Like, human dignity is king and nothing can infringe on it.
Become the demagogue they keep spreading FUD over, a gay trans atheist communist socialist Napoleon roaming the countryside corrupting the youths and organizing workers to defenestrate the masters
this is what happens when people in power feed into the delsusions of the dangerously mentally ill.
The Venn Diagram is one circle inside the other.
I don’t think it’s a great idea to equate racism and nationalism with mental illness, considering it’s clearly not disabling in any way and sort of dodges accountability for those perpetrating it.
So, you need to be sterilisied to go on a holiday to New York? What about business trips? Wouldn’t that completely kill any form of international trade? Unless that’s the point.
Meanwhile China is allowing Europeans to visit visa-free without any hassle…
How Israeli of him.
Why would anybody visit that shithole?
Free sterilization
What absolute monsters.

Yea yea, insane sterilization comment. But y’all he wants to literally break up the United States.
Over the 14th amendment. You know, the one we passed as a direct outcome of a failed Civil War insurrection.
I guess that’s the next natural step on their path to the outright fascism.
I don’t think we should let this guy just walk around. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.
Right up there with fox fascists considering gassing vs bombing US cities
