well there's this:

.

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess...

"Will you marry me?"

The Princess said "NO!"

And the Prince lived happily ever after, and rode motorcycles, and went fishing, and hunting, and played golf, and had fun with women half his age, and drank beer, and scotch and had tons of money in the bank, and scratched his balls without criticism and left the toilet seat up goddamnit.

The end

Missed a paragraph.

The prince grew old and found himself alone, without love or purpose. And he died a small pathetic shell of what he might have been.

R H, and may they never see it. May they continue to express their illogical anti-freedom/liberty offensive rhetoric so that we can clearly see who they are. It appears that they can't compute correctly on even the simplest common sense issues such as closed borders, lower taxes, that we're much better off with no gun control, that the smaller the centralized government the better, that it would be best to not put tampons in boys bathrooms (sheesh!). Fred Rogers of Mister Roger's Neighborhood" said it SO well when he said, "And remember kids, the girls will always be mommies and the boys will always be daddies." Michael Savage also said it beautifully about the (current) Democrat officials when he stated that "Liberalism is a mental disorder." That being said, most of the current Republican officials aren't far behind. To me, most of them appear to be spineless parasites, complicit in the intrusive (criminal) "regime" changing of other countries and quite comfortable with the ongoing crimes of other agencies such as the USDA, for example, that can force livestock farmers to destroy their healthy livestock under the guise of "health safety." And was there a single governor on either side that wasn't complicit in the lockdowns and other INSANE restrictions of the Covid psyop, (and would probably do it again) in obediance to the totally corrupt CDC? Seems to me that most Congressmen and Senators are either bribed by corporations or blackmailed into obedience of the powers that (actually) be. But I'm at least glad that our historically corrupt government is now being revealed to an otherwise brainwashed and naive public (dumbed down by our Marxist infiltrated public schools). I hope that Trump, despite the plethora of traitors, RINOs and reprobates within his circle, can get enough done to give us a leg up on changing the course of our country that has been so erroded of freedom/liberty.

Agreed! I read Savage's book many years ago by that title. Spot on. And yes, I think the RINO's are a more dangerous aspect of the blob/deepstate than the Demoncats. At least you know Demoncats are your enemy.

Well I love her

But I love to fish

I spend all day out on this lake

And hell is all I catch

But today she met me at the door

Said I would have to choose

If I hit that fishing hole today

She'd be packing all her things

And she'd be gone by noon

Well, I'm gonna miss her

When I get home

But right now I'm on this lakeshore

And I'm sitting in the sun

I'm sure it'll hit me

When I walk through that door tonight

Yeah, I'm going miss her

Oh, look there, I've got a bite!

Wait a minute. Isn't this the same party whose Supreme Court appointee was asked "what is a woman" and her reply was "I'm not a biologist"? So have they now finally figured out what is a woman yet? Because if they can't do that how are they going to figure out what is a man?

These people are "biology deniers". They always say "follow the science" when they want to bully us but then they can't and won't and don't do it! They are actually clinically insane.

They're shouting into an echo chamber. They think they know how to "win" back men. But they're using the same old tactics. Nothing will change. Until they need help changing a tire. Women who can largely aren't in the same boat with the dems. Something about self-sufficiency.

Actually, I think it isn't that as much as that they believe they are "on the right side of history" (the only right they'll talk about) and they have a moral imperative to force the rest of us to agree with them and accept our place. Man is a religious animal. Their belief system is a religion. It is tricky to get people to abandon their religion, especially when they don't understand that it is one.

Yes. “Until they need help changing a tire” sums it up nicely. I’ve had female friends crying over being broke and having simple car maintenance that needs to be done.

Or a tree fell on one’s house. Or paid thousands of dollars to get leaky pipes fixed (because “everything needs to be replaced” if you don’t know how to do it yourself).

I feel bad for them, but I refuse to help. Get a man. I’m not in this to be your permanent handyman unless you want to be my permanent cook.

And they don’t even try to do these things themselves even when I explain it, offer the tools, and send videos.

It’s just this weird denial of reality where their standard of living is so much lower than it needs to be, and they are so unhappy.

I don’t know how this can get better.

When people have to toe the line or be excommunicated you eventually run out of people willing to lie to themselves in order to belong. That's where the Democrats are now; they've run out of people susceptible to the lies and are struggling to become relevant again. As long as they practice their religion of hate they will not succeed.

You don't have to be MAGA to vote Republican, just smarter than a donkey.

You nailed this quite nicely. It can be boiled down to the fact that the Dems have run out of people believing their lies - remember, their entire philosophical ideology is built upon lies that run counter to human nature. Eventually, that catches up. Without a compliant legacy media that has no credibility any longer to help with the cover-up, the hate becomes too obvious and people turn away.

Yes. I think most of the mental illness can be traced to denying the role nature or nature’s God made for us. It’s 200,000 (plus the pre-homosapiens) of programming that they are trying to override in a few generations.

We have roles. We are built for the roles. They aren’t absolute, but denying them is going to make you extremely unhappy all the time.

Interesting how so many women accept men dressed like women to be “women,” allowing these men into women’s spaces, to dominate women in sports, and to essentially destroy womanhood. When I was a kid in the Seventies, men who dressed up like women were called transvestites, and this was considered a sexual fetish. Now, men cosplaying as women are being normalized and society is expected to accept this. Emotional thinking, not logic, is what gets us here.

The “feminists” are the ones who wanted to eliminate male spaces, not “women.” The same feminists are largely pro-trans and are busily trying to eliminate female spaces. This is where gender studies majors take society when given the chance, which the lunatic fringe progressives leapt at.

I saw this when my oldest son was in middle school - the school district hosted a "Career Fair" and brought in over a hundred people to present what they did, on a Saturday afternoon. I took my son, and we were denied entry because it was for GIRLS. I asked, "where was that mentioned? Advertised?" and got eyerolls because, you know, "DISCRIMINATION'... No. I don't know. I was a PressMAN, I ran printing presses for 8 years.

Anyway, I asked when there would be a Career Fair for boys and was laughed at. I threatened to file a lawsuit, and was *VERY* grudgingly allowed in. I met several other moms with boys who got in for the same reason. We filed a nasty letter and petition with the school district and never heard from them. The next year, our family moved out of that school district and that was one of the reasons.

You're right that feminism begat all the other gender ideologies which followed.

The irony is that the feminists now complain about the Trans movement, which they spawned. You cannot even get most feminists to see that feminism is WOKE. They deny that, although feminism is a main pillar of DEI. Plain as the nose on their faces.

I encountered a transvestite in the city library in my teens; he loved to wear bright red women's high heels with rolled-up pant legs. Meeting my first transgendered individual was in my 20s, in the setting of their hugely dysfunctional family. That was some time ago. Then not another one until the destructive meme with this idea began replicating itself in minds across the West. It became a cultural memetic fashion.

Now, I can't turn around without someone telling me in one way or another they consider themselves "Trans". All of a sudden, society is bursting at the seams with trans-genderism? Why or from where? Evolution does not change that fast. Although behavioural fashions do.

A few decades back, such vulnerable persons would have joined cults or developed eating disorders.

When my daughter was in high school, she ran the 100 hurdles in track and field. Where we competed, the average fastest times for the girls was 14-15 seconds. The average fastest times for the boys was 10-11 seconds. I sometimes thought about what I would do if a boy with a ponytail and lipstick ran against my daughter and ran at an average speed. None of the girls would stand a chance.

Well said.

The oldest game in the Marxist handbook is to divide and conquer. For other countries, class war was easy, but America created a different scenerio since we all (after the Jim Crow era) can create our own version of the American dream, as we so determine, so even dividing us by race was beginning to end until Obama played it up again (we thought that would be the end of it, finally - a black president), so make it a gender war. How many people took the bait, only to realise it's all BS when we try to defy what nature built in as a perfect union: protector/provider man with nuturing woman to create a stong nuclear family.

We're Americans, damn it! We don't have to take the bait!

The normalization of the transgender movement is an existential threat to a large segment of bona-fide homosexuals: masculine lesbian women and feminine gay men. These homosexuals don't deny reality; they accept their birth gender instead of trying to assert otherwise.

I have no problem with transgenders living their lives as they see fit. But insisting that society must accept their delusions, and permit them to compete in women's sports and share woman-only facilities is ridiculous. Not to mention the demands for insurance-covered healthcare (for the rest of their post-surgical transition lives). Most cosmetic surgeries are not covered by insurance. Why would transitions be covered?

Well written points but I would caution against using phrases like "birth gender". We are talking about sex here. Gender is the perfect word to turn what's inarguable into something arguable. Notice how everyone - even hospitals - ask you identify your gender. What happened to sex? The liberals kept insisting "Oh gender is totally different from sex" and then proceeded to get rid of sex.

I use the word "gender" as interchangeable with "sex", because they are one and the same as far as I'm concerned. I believe the word "gender" just makes it clearer that I am not talking about intercourse. But I see your point. Younger generations see a distinction, one that I'm NOT trying to convey.

The erasure of masculinity started in the 1950's with the early feminist movement. First we erased the nuclear family, then motherhood, and then men were the next level...now we are erasing the children with trans policies. This is of course the long-term goal of the WEF.....somehow we have to get the world population back to 500M...to save the planet, not the people...and WAY too many people have been sheep, believing all of this. What is wrong with growing up wanting to be a stay-at-home mom and have a hard-working husband who looks after the yard, the car, the finances, while mum looks after the children, the food, the clothes...it's really a very simple and happy life...the dems have ensured that every household needs 2 incomes, just to survive...and childcare...and on and on...the hate continues

I noticed long ago that one part of the Neo-Marxist indoctrination was to mock the 1950s America, as if it had been a bad joke.

It is a progressive badge of honour to diss the 50s (and to diss Catholicism too). It proves you passed the test of whether or not they successfully brainwashed you.

That is because the 1950s were the last normal years before the super-social engineering began. And so those norms must be mocked. The totalitarians need to skew your perspectives, in order to achieve their goals.

I might have written that myself a few years ago, but then I met my husband. It takes a lot, like the death of someone close, for him to cry and he absolutely never shows weakness.
