Polls: Society & Politics

That seems to be what it is worth in Brazil. A transwoman Erika Hilton won an election by a wide margin and was billed by media as Brazil's most voted for woman.

A feminist Isabella Cepa (an XX by birth) made the snarky comment that it was a pity the most voted for woman couldn't be a woman rather than a man. Erika filed charges and Brazil's supreme court found it fell under racism laws as social racism With other snarly comments Isabell has made it could total 25 years. Fortunately the EU has given refugee status to her but for security reasons the country she is in isn't being disclosed.

Trump is also in trouble with Erika because Erika was issued a US visa with the gender of male.

What do you think?

To be clear he has significant authority but not exclusive authority here; Congress shares & can alter his authority.

Which of these seems worse:

1,038,000 abortions were performed in the United States in 2024. Every one of these resulted in the death of an unborn child.

As of late 2024, the number of deaths in Gaza since the beginning of the conflict on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 70,000, with some estimates suggesting even higher figures.

Talking about the US constitution at the moment, but it's probably general for any constitution that can lawfully be amended.

"Thirty-three amendments to the Constitution of the United States have been proposed by the United States Congress and sent to the states for ratification since the Constitution was put into operation on March 4, 1789. Twenty-seven of those, having been ratified by the requisite number of states, are part of the Constitution. The first ten amendments were adopted and ratified simultaneously and are known collectively as the Bill of Rights. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments are collectively known as the Reconstruction Amendments."

The 18th Amendment is the only one to have been repealed (by the 21st Amendment).

I have a huge disdain for leftists, liberals, democrats, or whatever they are now. They seem to favor and obsess over radical social engineering, identity politics, and want to demonize or ostracize those who don't fall into their their woke nonsense. They are the type that cause you to lose your job or livelihood just because you used the wrong "pronoun". They are the ones who push for Critical Race Theory (CRT), DEI, and including schoolchildren in their wacko beliefs. They want to fund genital mutilation for kids and let illegal aliens roam freely without consequences. They want you to pay for abortions. They want you to foot the bill for migrants. Then, they want to throw the book at you if you are too persistent with women, claiming it is "harrassment" or "stalking" for staring more than a few seconds. These are crazy and rabid people who hate Christians and Jews but will roll out the red carpet for Muslims and anyone who isn't white.

Then you have the hard-core right, who loves police officers but shits on their firefighters and EMS personnel (at least here in my state). Fire and EMS is often treated second-class, is not considered much in legislation, and is disregarded in many situations. My state is one of only 10 that doesn't have enhanced penalties for assaulting a firefighter or EMT, but the recent "Back the Blue" Act enhanced these penalties for assaulting a cop, leaving out firefighters and EMTs with this legislation. 42 percent of fire departments in my state are classified by the state Fire Marshal's office as either "At-Risk" or "Distressed". There are no incentives for volunteers. There is no appeal process for sanctions against EMS personnel licenses, which can stem from a single complaint. My state also experiences an issue with hospital closures and infrastructure issues due to a large influx of new residents from out-of-state and lack of funding. The attitude of a lot of Republicans, sadly, is that if it doesn't affect them in the current mome

The survey, which used a representative sample of around a thousand American voters, was conducted in late July 2025. Specifically, it asked, "If Donald Trump was officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities, would this make you more likely to vote for another party, or would it not affect your vote for Donald Trump?" Forty-seven percent of Republican respondents said such a revelation would not affect their vote. The survey did not ask whether respondents personally approved of the president's hypothetical implication in Epstein's crimes.

So to them 'pedo's are ok as long as its people i like'.

And before any maga's come in here no i would never have voted for either of the Clintons if they were implicated too (i wasn't old enough to vote for bill and i voted third party in 2016 anyways). Unlike them i do subscribe to the 'pedo's are bad no matter who it is' idea. I think it serves people well to believe in that.
