Holy hell the toxicity is on another level.. apparently politely asking someone what law they are talking about is the same as sealioning now... cant even make this idiocy up... two days ive been trying to get information and learn about their concerns and for even bothering to try to understand their concerns (with no opposition of any kind) makes me the bad guy.... do these people not realize that this level of toxicity is putting their communities at risk and not helping?

@freemo they don't care about that kind of community risk, though: they *want* an idpol grievance echo chamber, not a place to critically examine their positions to make them stronger. Comfortable patting each other on the back, not any kind of intellectual growth.

In this case, there's a race to describe Florida and Texas in the most hyperbolic nonsensical language possible. You get brownie points and encouragement from the crowd if you do that. Questioning it in any way is spoiling the fun.

@ech @freemo is this incorrect? https://www.texastribune.org/2023/03/06/texas-legislature-lgbtq-bills/

@aardvark @freemo I have no reason to doubt the facts reported in this article. (I have not independently verified them.) Why do you ask?

@ech @freemo if the article is accurate, there is no need to use hyperbolic language (as you claimed) to characterize Texas as taking objectively hostile actions against vulnerable groups of humans.
