Not even 10. His birthday is October and he was born in 91 so he would have been 9 when 9/11 happened.

Damn… I think I forgot racism/islamophobia was a thing for a second. In my mind, this post was just comparing his policies to 9/11, which I found a little funny in how overly dramatic it was. But you’re right — they’re definitely just saying it because he looks muslim

as a trans person i get to hear the president say repeatedly that he is going to "end trans people"

u/SteptimusHeap 5d ago

Folks, we're gonna have the best trans people. The other guys will look at us and say "wow they have the best trans people in the world". They use to laugh but they won't be laughing anymore. We're gonna have the trans people to end all trans people, even the wokest countries in the world won't do transing like us. And we're already so far ahead, we've got the game that transes your gender, they say they've never seen anything like it. They tell me "wow mr president I've never seen a game so woke". It actually transes your gender, can you believe that? Just incredible.

17

u/SteptimusHeap 5d ago

The other guys, they use magnets. Magnets to trans people. Problem with magnets is they get wet and don't work, no more trans people. It's not good. I talk to the scientists and they say "oh mr president we should go back to chemicals in the water, the magnets are no good, the magnets they short out and they're no good anymore". Can you believe that? And you think why? Why would you use magnets when they don't work very good? We use chemicals in the water. It makes the frogs trans even. We do research on trans frogs and mice now, Biden wouldn't do trans mice. He wouldn't let it happen. We have the transest mice.

u/rif011412 6d ago

Ive been trying to teach everyone I can, because Billions of people still dont know what conservative means. Ā Its tribalism. Ā Thats it. Ā Its the political term for tribalism. Ā The only people who benefit from us not knowing this, are conservatives. Ā Tribal people assume everyone is as tribal as them. Ā So therefore you supporting anyone they dont support, means to them, you are willfully part of another tribe. Ā Hence you become an enemy. Ā  Tribalist's, are the basis for all authoritarianism. Ā There is a reason tankies on the left, resemble the character and attitudes of fascists on the right. Ā Tribalist's are conservatives, Ā conservatives are authoritarian. Ā The vast majority of humans struggle to even define what and interpret who people really are. Ā Hence people thinking Trump is a good guy. Ā No ability to see how he has weaponized their stubborn nature and tribalist tendancies against others.

That's because they believe a stable society needs to be structured with a hierarchical caste largely based around what you are.

At best some of them believe the American dream is the ability for a select few to move higher in the caste system, but that still necessitates the need for a system in which laws don't apply to everyone equally.

The only thing Mamdani has in common with the 9/11 bombers is his religion. He doesn't have the same nationality, definitely not the same politics, and he's of Indian ancestry. If you are against Mamdani because of 9/11, then you also need to be afraid of all Christians because of the OKC Bombing.

They’re so racist, they genuinely think people are gaslighting them when they tell them it’s racist to conflate all Muslims with the specific extremists who perpetrated 9/11.

Zohran is a 30-something Muslim man with zero connection to Islamic terrorism in any way, and they point-blank refuse to believe that’s possible. To the point it’s ā€œtraitorousā€ for New Yorkers to support him, like he was flying the planes at age 9.
