Cut yourself off of family or you aren't one of us is some cult shit.

You wanna be nice to the bigots or the people supporting their businesses? Please, go for it. Maybe you *can* help them understand why their bigotry or support of an openly bigoted business is wrong by doing that.

Maybe you could even start by explaining to them why we get angry at them over it.

But fuck off telling us to do it or telling queer people Trump winning is their fault because they got angry in the face of bigotry and discrimation directed at them.

If it was the only chicken sandwich in the world I still wouldn't eat because there are lots of other food or fast food options. I don't go to the most convenient pizza place because even though they made what was at the time my favorite pizza when I found out they were bigots it was incredibly easy to stop supporting them. I go the other direction one minute further to a pizza place that now know me by name and treat me like family.

Fast food places that do chicken sandwiches are a dime a dozen. Maybe your other local options aren't as good but you'll barely notice a difference in your life I promise. Its one of the lowest effort boycotts you could possibly do, so if you won't well queer people are going to judge you for it, even if you're queer yourself!

Hey Google where's the nearest Chick-fil-A

 
Yes go ahead and harshly judge someone for what store they go to to buy a chicken sandwich. Continue being judgemental, holier-than-thou assholes to everyone outside the small, insular bubble, and continue bleeding support eating election loss after election loss. Just zero self-reflection.

Nothing "Stereotype of a promiscuous gay man" Loud

Everyone keeps using OBS and I'm wondering if I should to. I've decided I'll make one more video but with a different mic source and see how that goes!

14 votes for no so far, I don't think people give a shit man.

Calling it shit is probably a compliment to NothingLoud

If you voted Trump in 2024 and truly heart of hearts are a 'decent' person that isn't bigoted....then you are extremely unintelligent and won't ever figure it out.

Sorry, but quite frankly this is bullshit. A great many people are ignorant about politics and voted for Trump for the wrong reasons thanks to disinformation, propaganda and generally being uninformed. Many of these people actually thought they were voting to keep the things he's going to try to take away. There's a difference between being stupid and being ignorant. We're all ignorant about a great many things...as you perfectly demonstrated.

Carl, you decided you were trans in 2020 I believe after playing the Last of Us 2. You shouldn't be talking, ever.

Get some help, touch grass and stop this delusion. Fucker makes his avatar Nintendo female characters all the time. Probably has sick thoughts like the rest of the pederasts on that forum.

ERA = "FFFUUUCKKK OOFFFF!!!!"

[railGUN]

Why do you assume that cutting family out of your life makes you miserable? my girlfriend and I have both cut our parents out of our lives and we feel pretty fucking great about it, like yeah it isn't something that's easy to do but once you've done it the emotional dividends are massive

I'd bet they're the real winners in that decision.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

If you don't give me what I want I will literally kill myself.

Cut your family or you're not an ally

This isn't a death cult, folks. Not at all.

[Steven Snell]

Clickity seem really happy and a person who got things under control based on their Era posting...

[Averon]

By the way, these are the same people that regularly post suicide threads, has a massive mental health mega thread, and complain how lonely they are on holidays and birthdays and such. Just the kinds of people you definitely should get life advice from

My whole family voted for Trump.

Let's just say am skipping Thanksgiving this year.

You should skip out on the whole family

[Uncle]

Stop having contact with your family.  
Not cult behavior.
I still love Clicky over anyone else in the TransMafia. Always brings the laughs.

My brothers voted for Trump I should totally cut them out of my life and never get to see my nieces and nephews againb

like the most based thing ever expressed on era

really, nothing is important other than you and those around you, the things within reach, your relationships

maybe cultivating a good relationship means slowly converting them to your way of thinking, wow, weird concept

all of these people have absorbed too much shitty fantasy media where they're the main character affecting wide sweeping change and is always the good boy who is always right and kills the evil tyrants

you don't matter, you will hardly affect anything long term, and you're in good company

love those around you and enjoy what little time you have

[TylenolJones]

Wow, the mods are now Trump supporters. 

I want to say this as clearly as possible.

Trump won. He won the electoral college. He won the popular vote. There were no Starlink conspiracies. No votes were changed. I'm sorry he won, I wish he didn't, but wanting Kamala to win does not mean that we do what conservatives did in 2020 and refuse to accept that people legitimately disagreed with the candidate Democrats put forward.

Conspiracy theorizing like this isn't going to be tolerated. End of discussion.

It's a tough pill to swallow but "If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, then you got a table with 11 Nazis" also applies to family members.

This is what people mean when they say it is up to white people to change white people's minds. Accepting Nazism as a simple difference of politics only continues to normalize it.

Full facts

One of the reasons the Dems lost was because their speeches sounded like parents lecturing children.

Kinda like what goes on in this forum.

Finger waving, gatekeeping, purity tests, etc...

People are sick of all this stuff.

Democrats are perceived as the party of lecturing, scolding wet blankets and I do believe Kamala was hobbled by this association even though she herself didn't really engage in it in this campaign and 95% of the reason she lost was Biden and inflation.

Mod has spoken!

[Potato]

I've never had Chick-fil-A.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Random Birian: "But they don't have Chick-Fil-A in the Netherlands.

I will NEVER get over the culture shock of visiting the US and being basically assaulted by the number of fast food options.

We are a fast food nation, but fucking hell it is disturbing how much fast food is just in-your-face in the US.

I've visited 4 times now, SF, NYC, Richmond, Chicago. It's all the same. Just a violent assault on the senses.

[Boredfrom]

Last week´s reactions have been funny. The over reactions and lack of self reflection are a bit sad.

What I find interesting is that a bunch of them believe that the Dems failed because they weren't left enough which is like the absolute opposite of what my impression is.

My impression is that a lot of people also don’t exactly like Trump but they prefer him over the current administration (as batshit insane I think that is   ). Which indicates a catastrophic failure in the overall party strategy.

[Nintex]

So we should give up our ideals and let bigotry win instead? Like I keep seeing this "purity test" shit from people coming out against trans people now, "oh the democrats won't let me say this" when it was never a focal point of any campaign.

Purity test usually means "I want to be transphobic/say slurs/handwave concerns about the systemic extermination of tens of thousands of children"

Right, Purity test is just a dog whistle for a milkshake duck

Does this math only work for Nazis, or can it be applied to terrorist sympathizers also?

There is so much to unpack in these posts.

The arrogance of 'educating' people, rather than having a discussion with and attempting to understand why they feel how they feel, and why those feelings led them to vote the way they did.

The refusal to see my point as anything other than a literal one-off dinner conversation. I am talking more broadly about communicating, understanding, insight.

The branding of literally everyone that voted for Trump as a Nazi. This is absurd, unhelpful, quite obviously untrue if you think about it for longer than a moment.

But ERA will never learn:

Purity test usually means "I want to be transphobic/say slurs/handwave concerns about the systemic extermination of tens of thousands of children"

Yeah I'm gonna gatekeep and fingerwag at this point. Oh well 🤷‍♀️

You should also give up on ever influencing their beliefs to be more moderate and in line with yours too.


These retards are just idiots and unable to see that they are the bad guys
