Probably would give them less opportunity for this nonsense I guess. Halloween is a huge business, right? Like my stereotypical mental image is all retailers in the US stocked to the hilt with candy and cheap Halloween garbage for everyone child-adjacent to purchase. And all the drinking around Halloween and dressing up like a slutty [profession/movie star], etc. D&D and DooM 1993 weren't this kind of mega-money.

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1575134038934929408 It's because coming out against a delightful holiday where children get to play dress-up and get free candy makes you look like a total loving kook. Your average American doesn't pay a great deal of attention to finances, governance, and science, so the GOP can get away with a lot of really wild-rear end bullshit, but your average American does know that Halloween is a fun time for kids of all ages.

It's more and more unlikely now that evangelicals are waning in power but at the height of their strength, it's kind of surprising that they never uttered a peep about this. You do see things like "trunk or treating" and plenty of churches do alt "Harvest Festival" poo poo where they do Halloween but really boring and stupid.

Professor Beetus posted:Parents who take their infants to chiropractors and the chiropractors who adjust them should be charged with child abuse or even attempted murder given the danger to infants. I mean the whole field should be regulated out of existence but I don't see that happening any time soon. My wife's childhood friend did that poo poo when her baby was maybe a couple of weeks old. She's bought into chiropractic hook line and sinker and her chiropractor had basically started brainwashing her about all the harm that babies having misaligned spines can have on their health from the moment she announced she was pregnant.

Even in the Southern Baptist stronghold of the 1990s DFW suburbs, not celebrating Halloween because of your religion meant your religion was weird poo poo and everyone else got to dunk on you for it.

Yeah even the hardcore pray at the flag at school and talk about how you're on fire for Jesus people I knew celebrated Halloween. If anyone suggested otherwise I'm sure it would have gotten the same reception I saw when someone told them they shouldn't listen to any music except for the Christian radio station.

Wistful of Dollars posted:How can chiropractors adjust babies if babies don’t have bones You've got to adjust the poo poo out of the little fucks so the bones come in right. Failure to do so is why we were a disgusting, misshapen failure of a species on the verge of extinction until the invention of chiropracty in the late 1800s.

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1575134038934929408 Over the years there's been a LOT of anti Halloween movement among the traditional GOP base. Hell, I've run into it at work in various places within the bible belt. I'm not sure why several posters think there hasn't been - or isn't. Could be a geographic thing and some of you aren't in the south but, believe me, a fairly significant number of conservative voters still think Halloween is satanic and hates Jesus and poo poo. The party itself probably doesn't care because it's kind of a niche holiday and it's not really forced on you like Christmas is. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Sep 29, 2022 |

https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1575596789293813760 Here's Peter Baker, a NYT political correspondent who says he doesn't even vote because he doesn't want to compromise his objectivity, pretending that he doesn't know the difference between household and sovereign finance for the purposes of pushing a mendacious GOP talking point. And you can seen Paul Kane of the Post practically creaming himself that the partisan numbers line up so nicely that it fits perfectly into a both-sides narrative, which is also a mendacious GOP talking point. Oh also the US has never actually not paid its "bills" on time, but you know those CLOWNS in CONGRESS zoux fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Sep 30, 2022 |

Isn't this what "big government" is basically for? Or is this supposed to be some sick burn on DeSantis? I mean, I guess he could just go out to a few shelters in Fort Meyers and start tossing rolls of paper towels around but accepting federal help in this case seems like the move and I'm unclear on why using that aid is...supposed to be wrong? I mean...I get that the meme is pointing out his hipocracy and what have you but you'd have to be a complete fool and an abject moron to think that federal assistance here isn't 100% in order.
