That’s ok. They have Dr. Cletus, who got his MD at the school of Common Sense and did his residency at the hospital of Traditional American Values.
Red states don’t care about having physicians trained from filthy leftist academia, propagandizing them with “facts” from scientists trying to sell books. Cletus is more competent to perform surgery than any blue state “Doctor,” because he knows the south will rise again, and he has gumption and a can do attitude. Checkmate, stuff in books!
The most important thing for me is whether my doctor is Proud to be an American.
Now wait- there’s a far more important thing: Does he accept Jesus as his personal savior?
Just to be clear, does he accept white supply-side Jesus as his personal savior?
Because the commie, middle-eastern Jesus who told us to… 🤢… help one another doesn’t count!
God changed his mind about black people in 1978. So blacks are included too.
What a swell god. Has he changed his mind on gay people yet?
the real Lord/Jesus/Holy Spirit is not monitoring your dick or labia 24/7. I mean, that would be fucked up.
So “my religious belief is that there is an omniscient spirit who is constantly monitoring and judging what you do with your genitals”
oh, uh,… okay…
well DUH, every Proud American loves Jesus more than his own mother. If you don’t, the Proud American Committee executes you.
What denomination? That 19th heresy or OUR 19th century heresy?
i had to do 18 Hail Marys after i read this, thx

I wonder if Dr. Cletus would give me a prostate exam
Honey, If you got some meth on you, Dr. Cletus will examine anything you like 😉
With a gun barrel for even thinking he’d do liberal shit maybe
hello, i had to give my pastor $5 for this comment
What
So, anyone else wonder if the plan for Republican controlled states here is to chase all of the left leaning people out, bolstering their majority stranglehold in certain states and sacrificing things like talented doctors/nurses/teachers/etc. for an electoral college advantage? Literal tyranny of the minority? Hmm?
No, you need to think bigger. They want to change the constitution. I’m being completely serious.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, and you’re right (shit, that article is from a whole year ago?!), I should have thought of that! This is some serious shit, like I was just kind of being “tin-foil-hat-y” with my comment, but they’re way ahead of me.
Jesus Herbert Walker CHRIST, this is a huge fucking problem!!
ETA: “The power to call for a convention belongs solely to state legislatures, who would pass and ratify amendments without a governor’s signature, Congress’ intervention, or any input from the president.”
FUUUUUUUCK
It’s not even tin foil hat-y. The Republican Party is a fascist political party that has a desire to overthrow the US government and replace it with a Christian Fascist dictatorship with active plans for genocide. It’s alarmist until it isn’t, they are being completely transparent about their intentions. They know they aren’t the majority, so they want to kill enough people to make sure they never lose and change the government to make their killings legal.
Well damn, I haven’t had a pit in my stomach feeling like this since 2016. This is so fucked…
Good thing the only people they killed with their COVID stance was their own.
I mean yeah everyone was hit, but they went out of their way to make sure their own people were hit the hardest.
Did you just call half of your country fascists?
Rep voters =/= Rep politicians. I would say the ~27% of people that identify as Republican support fascist-like policies, even if they don’t think of them as fascist. The Rep party itself is definitely neo-fascist. They even use the same rhetoric as the Nazis and white nationalists (focusing on degeneracy, cultural marxism, great replacement theory, etc). Just this time, LBGT people and hispanic immigrants are the first scapegoats. The current 2nd favored Republican presidential candidate, behind Trump, is most definitely a neo-fascist by just looking at the policies he’s been implementing in Florida; not to mention his campaign sharing a video ad featuring DeSantis in the middle of a sonnegrad.
You’re arguing with a sea lioning chud unfortunately my dude
Yes and what about it?
Touch some grass and look at the people around you. Now call half of them fascists
I would call them fascists without hesitation.
That’s exactly what they want.
It all boils down to resource management and selectorate theory. They don’t care that the overall quality of life will be reduced for most people, because they themselves will personally benefit. They are willing to accept a reduced pie if it means they don’t have to share it.
And to the point of the other person responding to you - the constitutional changes they want are real, and that factors in. If they can get even a few light red states more solidly so, they have a stronger position for an eventually constitutional convention, at which point they will rewrite the whole thing.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t we be totally freaking the fuck out right now?

And here I was, just yesterday, telling someone there’s still some thing to feel good about re: the 3rd Trumpdictment. Seems like a mere distraction now, honestly…
I feel good that eventually I will die, and I haven’t left any children behind to suffer through what will come.
I actually get very sad when I think about the kids that my friends have. We’ve got a tough road ahead, and it’s only getting tougher.
I still try not to make the problem worse and even improve things where possible, but it’s hard not to feel defeated.
Hate that doomer crap. People find happiness in far worse situations, and the future needs people who give a shit. You’re not morally superior for not having kids and you’re a coward for judging others who do, so scared of some hardship that you prefer annihilation.
I give a shit, I do what I can to not make things worse and improve where I can. I don’t think I’m morally superior in any way, shape or form - quite the opposite; there are many greater, smarter people out there who could do a much better job at improving the future than I can hope to. I have many, many reasons for not having children - this is just one. Yes, I’m a coward. No, I don’t judge others for having children - everyone has a choice, and I’ve made mine. No, I don’t hope for annihilation - I hope that somehow, this freight train with no brakes manages to make a turn without derailing, and that the future is glorious and beautiful and healthy. While I may be a sad, pathetic little creature, I do like seeing the kids of friends and family grow and thrive, I just worry what is in store for them and their children.
Your country is doomed. Best thing you can do to make things better is to help your loved ones and stay out of political activism (as in not being politically active)
I mean, yes, but also the entire regressive ecosystem is gaslighting centrists with “both sides” nonsense, so if you actively freak out it will just alienate the people we need to care.
I think the best course of action is to get as involved locally as you can. Show up to school board and city council meetings. Have and express your opinion on the current business before them. Volunteer, do community outreach, and explore mutual aid.
The right has a well established network for communicating their doctrine and giving people east activities to gradually ramp up their involvement. We need to create similar structures for ourselves even more than we need to scream at elected officials who will ignore us anyway.
Build parallel power, and then use whatever leverage you can to force saner voices to prevail.
I mean, yes, but also the entire regressive ecosystem is gaslighting centrists with “both sides” nonsense, so if you actively freak out it will just alienate the people we need to care.
I just love how responding emotionally (and totally fucking appropriately) to the methodical fascist takeover of our country is alienating to some. I can see why so-called centrists can receive even more ire than the opposition in certain circumstances (MLK, anyone?).
Welp, I’m already an engaged voter. Guess it’s really time to start doing more. Really starting to despise these power hungry assholes, you know?
Agreed entirely. Love you, brosis. We’ve got this, even if it gets worse before it gets better.
Thank you. I needed that, legitimately. :)
There are lots of dystopian futures where the healthy and technologically advanced separated themselves from the unwashed, uneducated, and violent masses. Elysium is a popular film that uses this trope. We always assumed that the healthy and technologically advanced people created their utopia and pushed out the masses. In these fictional stories, I never considered the possibility that the masses would push out the healthy and technologically advanced people to their utopia and the masses were left to wallow in their own filth by their own choice.
California is definitely not an utopia
It’s a closer to one than Louisiana, though.
None of the US can be classified as an utopia
Even so, the comparison is unfavorable to Louisiana, not California.
California looks like a mix of The Walking Dead and a Netflix show tho
Now do Louisiana.
We’re not in the dystopian future yet I was describing. We’re at possibly the middle point between what was, and what will be. The “what will be” would be when that utopia exists.
Won’t be with all the drug problems California has
It’s like the Cultural Revolution or the Khmer Rouge. They’ll be rounding up anyone wearing eyeglasses soon enough. Republicans uber alles.
It’s that, plus dismantling education so the general populous isn’t smart enough to catch onto the conservative grift.
Hey not to worry you’ll get a voucher for a private christian school, so they can further force their ideology down your throat all while funneling tax dollars back to the church.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One of Louisiana’s few doctors specializing in pediatric heart conditions is leaving the state after the Legislature passed a variety of bills aimed at restricting rights for LGBTQ people.
Kleinmahon, who is gay, told WDSU that he and his husband had planned to retire in New Orleans, but he now feels like the anti-LGBTQ legislation passed by the Legislature has made the state a hostile place for families like his.
Kleinmahon wrote in a post on Instagram that he moved back to Louisiana five years ago with the goal of building one of the best pediatric heart transplant programs in the country.
He doesn’t want to leave that behind, but he wrote that he and his husband, Tom, “have discussed at length the benefits of continuing to live in the South, as well as the toll that it takes on our family.”
“This is a wonderful new opportunity, but it is incredibly sad to leave our home, our friends, colleagues, and patients and their families,” he wrote on Instagram.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!

What took him so long to figure it out?
Bow ties are so 2005.
Lies. Hot af
More like 1855 tbh
So what? There are tons of doctors waiting in line.
No there aren’t actually, there’s a huge shortage of medical personnel nationwide.
just one of three pediatric heart doctors with his specialty in Louisiana
Are they? It was in the summary, no need to click the link dude…
Not experienced pediatric congenital heart doctors.
You wouldnt know the first thing about them, and neither do many of the other types of doctors.
Tons? There are only two
Running away never solves anything, what a coward
It’s not his job to fix the idiots in this state.
Nah, that’s the fault of Republicans. He has to protect his family.
