Basically my family is afraid of md being a Trump Supporter

And they think he's mean to the media

Oh here's what they said about the media's lies

"The Media can't be lying because trump could sue them"

I'm serious though. I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and now I'm walking away from the Democratic Party after voting straight Dem my whole life

I did too

I walked away too

But it still kinda gets under my skin that being a Trump Supporter and a Black Man is a bad thing

Especially when it's being told to me by my own family

Their essentially saying that I can't think for myself because of the color of my skin

When it's from your own family is when it hurts the most

I understand

My family has a hard time with me being trans *and* for going conservative lmao

Yeah

Like I don't think Trump is a saint nor do I expect miracles

But I think he means

Well

Yeah

This is why I'm trying to move out

They think the Legacy Media tells them

They think media never lies

And That everything is true because Trump won't sue

Do they know how hard it is to successfully bring a defamation suit?

Apparently not

My mom worked at WGN back in the 80's

So she thinks she knows

Jesus Christ, I just spent some time reading a reddit thread about some tabletop gaming site (rpg.net I think) banned any expression of support for the trump administration, and seeing the leftist bloviate was painful.

'The right wingers always whine about politics in media, when they were the ones that put it there in the first place!' Imagine being so far up your own ass that you don't even realize that your political bullshit that you push on everyone is political bullshit.

Ooooof

And the guy that said that explicitly referenced the token trans character in Beamdog's Baldur's Gate expansion, and acted like it was the height of bigotry to suggest that doesn't belong in a setting where magic, and magic items explicitly exist that can make you into the other sex.

I really don't like tokenization

I don't need shoehorned trans characters to feel good about being trans

They normally piss me off

I always have a hard time making the same argument against Krem in Dragon Age, because the limits of what magic can do isn't as well defined in that series, but in Baldur's Gate, you pick one of these off of a corpse: http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Girdle_of_Masculinity/Femininity

Lol. It’s considered a curse. Plus, there are actions only a solo male can do.

Lol "curse"

In the context of the game, being cursed means you have to cast a spell on yourself to be able to take it off.

Lol "take it off"

I'm just mostly trolling

But damn that sounds amazing

Anyone else find it hilarious that there are actions only a man can do? Lol
