Another fine example of the right wing 

 

at this point. its probably a lefties sock account that makes crazy crap so people can say, look at the horrible righty.

 

The left has been in Overdrive pushing the fear of the dictator.

 

an ironic after 81 million voted for a dude running on changing the last guys policies by executive action (dictators)

No, they’re quite real. These are the people Elon welcomed back with open arms in the name of “free speech.”

 

These are your people my friend, own it.

Why the scare quotes? Does free speech frighten you? Do you prefer acceptable speech? Permitted speech? Tell us all what your preferred limits are.

Let’s stop pretending republicans give a ***** about kids, because they don’t. Facts.

 

 

It's a good program. 

 

Hard to ignore the fact the Dems didn't support it till the outsourcing of school cafeterias to companies like aaramark and others.

So Republicans have gone a bit squishy on outlawing abortion. They've gone a lot squishy on deficits. They're unrecognizable on Russia.

But I found one thing they can all agree on: the need to stop the coming terror of LAB GROWN MEAT!

 

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-09/proposed-bans-on-lab-grown-beef-are-red-meat-for-conservative-base?utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=twitter&sref=htOHjx5Y

 

…let me offer another theory: The anti-lab-grown-meat movement is about conservative cultural insecurity — the fear that, without the force of law, some conservative cultural norms will fade away…

Imagine that lab-grown meat proves feasible at a reasonable cost. It might end up as cheaper than beef from a cow, and it might also be better for the climate. In such a world, there might be growing pressures to abandon real meat for the lab-grown kind. There could even be a political movement to tax or ban real meat, similar to carbon taxes or plans to phase out fossil fuels.

Currently there is no momentum in that direction. For all the talk of vegetarianism and veganism, the percentage of Americans who practice those beliefs seems to be roughly flat. Many Americans like eating meat, for better or worse. But if real meat had a true substitute, perhaps the political calculus would differ.

This is the real fear — not of lab-grown meat itself, but of the changing culture its popularity would represent. Whether conservatives find the meat substitute to be adequate is beside the point. Society would have decided that some of their most cherished beliefs can be disposed of. Both humankind’s dominion over nature, which runs strong in the Christian strand of conservative thought, and the masculinized meat-eating culture — more specifically, the meat-grilling culture — would be under threat.
