We feel like we’re in a club where we’re not really welcome.

How brain dead do they have to be, to be realizing this just now?

Well, they're GOP, so.

People who joined the leopard eating faces club are surprised the leopards ate their face. Who could have predicted this? No one I tell you, absolutely no one. A very surprising turn of events.

/s just in case, we’re on the internet after all

Oh, and also Muslims while we're at it.

If you are in the Republican party and not a wealthy white male you are an outsider and will forever be one. They will only use you for as long as they need then dump you. Muslims that vote conservative are the biggest fools of all.

Reminds me of the gay man that helped Hitler rise to power just to be executed for being gay. His name was Ernst Rohm and he took thought they would change and see how he was different but that was a mistake.

He wasn't executed for being gay but rather due to internal power struggles in the Nazi party and being seen as a threat.

He was the co-founder of the Nazi party and leader of the brown shirts.

I mean Stalin had a reason to remove everyone. It seems plausible that it could be a cover story.

Muslims feeling alienated in the U.S.

Is this an "Onion" article?

I mean, who would have ever thought that... No one could have foreseen this happen. No one, I say... No one... /s

What about their reaction to 9/11 makes any Muslim want to join the GOP?

The only religion the GOP cares about is evangelical Christianity. If they don't realize that, they're delusional

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lib.lgbt 10 points 1 year ago

Was there ever a point in the last 80 years when they actually felt welcome? The GOP dove headfirst into Christian Nationalism after WWII.
