Had the Supreme Court declned to hear the case, that would not have made Trump’s immunity claim go away or clear the way for him to be held accountable. It would have just settled the issue only for one case, the January 6th prosecution in the DC Federal District Court.

But it would not have been settled anywhere else outside of the DC Circuit, including in Florida where Trump has also raised the same immunity claim in his documents case.

The parent post says:

Remember, conservative brains are literally abnormal. They have enlarged regions dealing with fear and disgust.

This reminds me strongly of the pseudoscience surrounding phrenology and how that was used to discriminate against minorities.

Furthermore, the post goes on to say:

They should be given special treatment, but not allowed to in charge of anything more complicated than a butter knife.

This sort of language leads straight into justifying discrimination based on physical attributes. Advocating for the removal of self determination from political groups should always be given massive side-eye.

These transphobes’ ideologies need to be rejected on their merits, not by saying, as one of the replies says, “this needs to be brought up daily till our republican buddies realize they are becoming a sub class of underperformed human.”

This is more than flirting with the language of eugenics.

Surely it’s not a stretch to see how statements like “they should be given special treatment, but not allowed to [be] in charge of anything more complicated than a butter knife” leads straight into eugenics.

I hate to both-sides this, because the people covering up Nex’s death are monsters, but discourse like this is nearly identical to the things the transphobes are saying.

We have to find solutions for these social problems that aren’t authoritarian or lean into eugenics. In the case of trans rights, I think that’s by appealing to peoples desire to have freedom of self expression.

What you’re advocating for is authoritarianism and eugenics.

I suspect it’s because of concerns about leaks and water damage.

That hasn’t stopped numerous leaks from upstairs damaging my apartment, though.

A lot of apartment leases disallow bidets. I know mine does.
