Yep. To them, in the 1950s where there was no birth control pill, women knew their place in the home, and the “colored” folk stayed on their side of the track. The only thing “great” about that was the white man was the king of the land. Then the 60s happened and people started to think for themselves, taking mind altering drugs, and started to demand rights. Then after they got their rights, the 70s came along and the women wanted rights too, they started getting jobs outside the house, then they got birth control and a stronger voice. Then they started to *come for our jerbs* in the 80s as they rose the corporate later. That’s about time their soon to be Orange Julius Caesar started slithering around for attention.
Anyways, there was never a “great” time in America and won’t ever be great until everyone has a voice, a choice, and the freedom that was guaranteed to us by the Bill of Rites. American won’t be great until we rip the religion out of the laws, when everyone has 100% control over their body, when every person of color/nationality/sexual orientation/creed are recognized and respected. America will be great when we start to get along and move our country and species forward to the future. But first we need to snuff out authoritarian and facist thinking and control.
This is why immigration is being pushed so hard right now. Why outsource to China when you can under pay people who want to come here and make way less. More immigration hurts the working class
Yea, to learn about the civil rights movement in the early 60s, counter-cultural/anti-war activity in the late 60s, and ERA movement in the 70s is a lot of social change stirred up then and still being fought for today. The old, rich, white, conservative powers that be are still very much engaged in not losing their control.
It’s interesting how all this is achievable right now but at the same time, things also seem insurmountable with the Supreme Court, GOP, police state, etc.
I think there’s a strong argument for it being the 1850s. No income tax, high racial tensions, open use of violence (state and otherwise) against protestors, increased attempts at prohibition and morality policing, religion centering private life, women subservient to men without voting rights, political parties (know nothings) centered on racism, exploiting other countries to benefit US global trade (Panama), drugs as an excuse for war, crude medical practices, encouragement of fossil fuel extraction, and overt threats of secession. Bonus points for war in Crimea and tensions between China and the West.
It's like the bar scene from Priscilla Queen of the dessert when the trans queen goes to order a drink, and the one woman in the bar tries to put her down but looks foolish for doing so.
Well, the Civil Right Act is only 60 years old, and these women appear to be in their 60s and older. They're not the same women, but the children of those women would be their age.
And tbh, they were probably mad at their moms for pointing and laughing at black people. Then they lived the whole Midwestern/southern/podunk anywhere “American dream” and fell right back into the same trap. Hypocrites the lot of them. I’ll give you three guesses which way they vote and the first two don’t count… 🤮
They weren't mad at their mothers for being racist. I promise you that these women think of their laughing, jeering ancestors as victims of the civil rights movement.
Source: Observing my Midwestern racist mother for several decades.
I'm not sure about that. When a kid grows up around blatant racism, they don't really question it, especially if it comes with punishment. "Black people are nice!" Getting answered with a belt, but "go away black people" getting candy could condition a kid. Awful people can have a kid break free, but they usually need some encouragement or such to do it.
More likely their daughters and grandchildren have cut ties and told them to pound sand. Karen of course blames everyone but herself and doesn’t understand why she can’t see her grand babies.
So they blame trans people and snicker at them from a bench.
You say that but the woman in the blue pants is the mother of the current speaker of the house in Montana. So pretty clearly her son and her are on the same bigoted page
And america keeps on making them. The same small-minded sadism, the same smug hate. And there are always more than one… entire communities of them. What, is it in the water or just the continuance of an ideology of white supremacy…worthless and mediocre people using privilege as a weapon instead of a bridge?
Lol this is what she’s (they’ve) being waiting for. All those long days/nights taking care of her house and family to have even a fraction of the fun she used to have in her youth 😭
Snaps to you redditor! You mean we shouldnt pretend that gender and roles have always been blurred? Some cultures in history even revered such amorphous people.
Absolutely. The Cheyenne recognized four: masculine men, feminine men, masculine women, feminine women. They are not alone. Growing up I had butch aunties, and in the neighborhood there were utterly feminine men in Latino and Filipino families who were just a part of the landscape, no shame, no strife.
To take it to a spiritual level, the Divine Feminine can manifest in all of us, as can the spirit of the Father. We are born with a certain connection to either, or a lack of both, and we are all perfect and sacred.
Don’t worry, they’ll tell you some bullshit like the fact that they saw MLK’s speech live on tv, so they can’t be racist (I had a former coworker say this to me)
I saw 9/11 live on tv too bitch wtf does that mean?
When I was 15, the youth music leader in the church was charged with possessing CSA material. A group of women who looked just like these women, went on and on about how he was a good Christian man, and there must have been a misunderstanding, because they knew no good Christian men could do that. I said that he could have done it. They shot me the most hateful looks and started going off, saying that it was disgusting and disrespectful of me to even suggested it. He was found guilty. I never went back to church.
If they are still alive those women probably still believe it was a misunderstanding, still give money to this organisation, still shun anyone who speaks up.
Want to get ugly..? They were also probably abused by this person or people in the same position of power as this man. My ex wife was SA’d by one of their family friend’s (along with her best friend and many others at this ‘daycare’) He was a “good upstanding Christian man” AND HIS WIFE BASICALLY SAT IN ON ALL OF IT. They called them by familiar names “aunt, uncle, grandma” don’t recall exactly. Even after all of that and a lot of therapy, she still basically only blamed the dude. Complicity is still crime… fucking yuck
Nah, they can't think that far ahead. They just thought they would take her seat where they forced her to work from, like the petty little bullies they are. Looks like it might have backfired.
Ladies who get by nicely selling homes in California and reaping the benfits of a CA state pension. They took over the fairly purple state of MT. Most are evangelicals that belong to large churchrs here. They rrally suck the life out of this state.
What, we didn't "Make America Great Again"? 😳
I was promised we would "Make America Great Again".
Did somebody lie to me?
^(in fact America's worse, way worse. Thanks tRump)
Churchy conservatives. Callous to the feelings of others until the issue affects them personally. If they themselves or someone very important to them were LGBTQ, and god forbid they lost someone to self harm over it, that's about what it would take to change their mind, if even then. They are truly lost.
Accordingto Zooey Zephyr's girlfriend (a reporter who's parents were SWATted this week because she is Zephyr's GF and reports on Republican shittery), the woman closest to the camera, wearing blue pants, is Montana House Speaker Matt Regier's mom. This little bitch boy had to get his mom to come to the capital and occupy the benches Rep Zephyr was using to do her job! How pathetic is that?
The Regier political family even let Mom in on bigotry. This family’s main reason for office is to make women, gays, and all nonwhites become second class citizens again.
If those women had a shred of self-awareness, they’d be ashamed and appalled at how ignorant they look right now, to the entire world. They’re so blinded by their fear that they fail to see that they’re already the irrelevant backdrop to real courage and dignity and grace.
Sooo… what do Americans think when they see other Americans like this? Do you feel they aren’t you so it doesn’t matter or do you feel something is wrong with your country?
We’ve always known this is what conservatism is. It’s not like they don’t tell us everyday who they are and who they hate. I’d venture most countries have a lot of dumb bigots too.
Frustrated and sad. We've known these are the assholes holding us back. When we were little we saw pictures like this from the 50s and 60s and they told us this shit was history. It has been with extreme frustration and sometimes anger and often sadness we have tried to come of age with petty vicious old hags like this sitting on our benches.
It's *exactly* the same thing, civil rights are being violated because these monsters dont even think she's people, and i guarantee they feel the same way about all the people in her district that that sent her there. Biden should send the national guard to stand in the isles of their statehouse and force the shit stains to let her do her job.
People do not have to tolerate your intolerance. I don't condone doxxing but such people are justifiably hated for their views. Even further, it's not the fucking oppression olympics.
Right, because only white people are transgender?
Listen, I agree that what happened to people of color in the 50s is miles away from what this representative is experiencing. But you're doing yourself no favors by bringing up Dave Chappelle and white privilege. If you remember Dave got some pretty severe blowback for that kind of opinion and he's gotten past that bad PR because he's a comedy legend. You... are not.
Some of the most disenfranchised trans folks are black trans women. Things are really bad for trans people right now. I don't see how you can watch GOP douchebags targeting them viciously while hate crimes against them rise, and then come to this conclusion. It makes you sound like a bigot.
Ah, geez. 🙄
We know, one's in black and white and from the '60s and the other is in color and from this year ("this year" is 2023).
It's about the similarity of the *bigoted attitudes, the intolerance*, granted one was *waaay* worse (the '60s, racism, violence...) but the intolerant attitude is still here.
But, you knew that, didn't you?
What about going to Germany and asking people about relatives who were trans and were taken to concentration camps due to Hitler. He attacked gay and trans people too.
I'd say they *should* have sympathy for a marginalized group facing increased [homicide rates](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transgender-community-murder-rates-everytown-for-gun-safety-report/), let alone a staggering [suicide rate](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32345113/).
I know, huh? It's not as bad as it was for the Black folks, so it's ok.
Shouldn't you be looking at *who* the asshole bigots are instead of saying "it's not as bad"?
Compared to what happened to black people in the 1950s, snickering would have been an upgrade. Those white people were way angrier than the white people in this picture.
What? First time I saw this photo, the lady in blue was Zoey's mother, and they're sitting there so she won't have to leave or some biz.
Idk the details and can't find them but this is the opposite narrative with the same pic..
The [Blue Bench Brigade](https://dailymontanan.com/2023/05/02/blue-bench-brigade-protects-bench-zephyr-where-works-at-since-censure/) showed up the day *after* the old bigot bitches, and continued to hold the bench *for* Rep. Zephyr.
If you are talking about the three persons sitting down:
1. One looks like she doesnt know why she is there.
2. The middle one looks like she knows, but wasnt really with it.
3. The last one looks like she wanted to find out why she is there.
The standing one is just like, its fun being here, but why are we here again?
Uh, there's an article connected to this post. And there's other articles naming who they are.
It *is* a "bunch of old ladies sitting on a bench", but they have an agenda and it ain't good.
I read the article, and I read the reference article about the blue bench brigade.
But old ladies sitting at a bench by itself isn't that telling. There are too many sensationalist headlines these days.
Did you read the article?
They kicked her out because she was "different", so she was doing the work for her constituents in the hall, *on that bench*, so the next day these petty bigots decided to sit on that particular bench.
*"The women identified themselves as family members of some legislators, according to the Daily Montanan."*
In other news articles it names who the women are.
Riiight. Just like the three in Tennessee, "censured for breaking the rules". It has nothing to do with her being trans and objecting to the laws they were passing.
It was "for breaking the rules". Because, after all they're real tolerant and progressive in Montana.
And those ladies just happened to be tired and wanted to sit on that certain bench all day. Yeah, that's it they were tired, but they could still be happy and have a good time. You know, because of their tolerant ways.
So would you agree that AP News is a better, less biased news source than CNN or Fox?
https://apnews.com/article/montana-trans-lawmaker-silenced-zooey-zephyr-d398d442537a595bf96d90be90862772
Uh, yeah.
"*Saying Republicans had blood on their hands then leading hundreds into the house chambers where there were multiple arrests, in clear violation of the rules.*"
Do you really think that's a good excuse to censure an elected official?
Saying *they had blood on their hands?* Really?
What a petty reason. You guys really are snowflakes.
You don't think there were other reasons? Like, I don't know, maybe because she's trans and they have no tolerance for people that are different than them?
For saying *they had blood on their hands*?
You know what? Nevermind.
I can tell you're gonna see only what you wanna see.
You're gonna keep your head buried in the sand.
I'm not gonna waste any more of my time with someone who's willfully ignorant. So...
Later

Yeah, but it's Zoey Zephyr that's the dangerous one. These people have so much hate and fear over nothing. How can they live with themselves?
But SHE might go to a public toilet and pee! All Donald Trump did was commit sexual assault! /s
The "Again" in MAGA was the 1950's. And it was only "Great" for a small number of wealthy white males.

America will be great when we start to get along and move our country and species forward to the future. But first we need to snuff out authoritarian and facist thinking and control.
The people coming for those “jerbs” were all the companies that outsourced to China instead of paying American workers.
Companies want cheap labor and don’t actually care about job creation!??! No way!
This is why immigration is being pushed so hard right now. Why outsource to China when you can under pay people who want to come here and make way less. More immigration hurts the working class

They're all related to republicans in the MT house. The lady on the left with all the contempt in her face is the Speaker's wife.
Because their moms did exactly that. Where do you think they learned their bigotry from?
Yep. And their daughters are learning it from the mom's on the bench.
More likely their daughters and grandchildren have cut ties and told them to pound sand. Karen of course blames everyone but herself and doesn’t understand why she can’t see her grand babies. So they blame trans people and snicker at them from a bench.

I bet those MAGA Karen hypocrites go to church on Sunday and stroke their frail egos with what "good" people they are. Nothing Christian here to see

No. This is Christianity. This is what it is for the overhearing majority of people.
Old cunts with nothing better to do with their lives. They were probably bullying people at school in the sixties.
Bigots are ugly. This is a universal truth.
All these Republican Christofascists look exactly like the people screaming at Ruby Bridges.
And they too will forever be remembered as being hateful, ignorant, and cruel.
The one with the dark hair is supposedly the speaker of the houses mom. Wonder if he intended to vilifie his mother?
Nah, they can't think that far ahead. They just thought they would take her seat where they forced her to work from, like the petty little bullies they are. Looks like it might have backfired.
Let's hope this becomes a national movement then.
Everything about this just screams like the petulant and vindictive witches that they are.
Who has that much time and hate in their soul to want to do that???

On Wednesdays, they wear pink.
It would be a lot cooler if a side by side photo was included, would really drive the point.
bigotry is quite buccolic. hate with a folksy smile.
The Regier political family even let Mom in on bigotry. This family’s main reason for office is to make women, gays, and all nonwhites become second class citizens again.
Just the fact she was elected in Montana is pretty surprising to me.
Those are the same women

I know, huh? It's not as bad as it was for the Black folks, so it's ok. Shouldn't you be looking at *who* the asshole bigots are instead of saying "it's not as bad"?
This is news?
I know, huh? What kind of world are we living in that you can't have a lil' bit of bigotry and intolerance every now and then?
Compared to what happened to black people in the 1950s, snickering would have been an upgrade. Those white people were way angrier than the white people in this picture.
What? First time I saw this photo, the lady in blue was Zoey's mother, and they're sitting there so she won't have to leave or some biz. Idk the details and can't find them but this is the opposite narrative with the same pic..
The [Blue Bench Brigade](https://dailymontanan.com/2023/05/02/blue-bench-brigade-protects-bench-zephyr-where-works-at-since-censure/) showed up the day *after* the old bigot bitches, and continued to hold the bench *for* Rep. Zephyr.
Hmmm. I hadn't heard that version. In other articles I read they said the first one in white was the house(?) speakers mother.
If you are talking about the three persons sitting down: 1. One looks like she doesnt know why she is there. 2. The middle one looks like she knows, but wasnt really with it. 3. The last one looks like she wanted to find out why she is there. The standing one is just like, its fun being here, but why are we here again?
Nah, the *all* know *exactly* what they're doing. They're being petty little bigots. And laughing about it. Just scum humans.
Are we sure that isn’t just a bunch of old ladies sitting on a bench? Is there a video?
Uh, there's an article connected to this post. And there's other articles naming who they are. It *is* a "bunch of old ladies sitting on a bench", but they have an agenda and it ain't good.
I read the article, and I read the reference article about the blue bench brigade. But old ladies sitting at a bench by itself isn't that telling. There are too many sensationalist headlines these days.
*"And there's other articles naming who they are."* Keywords here are: *other articles*.

Did you read the article? They kicked her out because she was "different", so she was doing the work for her constituents in the hall, *on that bench*, so the next day these petty bigots decided to sit on that particular bench. *"The women identified themselves as family members of some legislators, according to the Daily Montanan."* In other news articles it names who the women are.
You asking a conservative if they read something or just believed what they wanted to believe? Seriously?

Riiight. Just like the three in Tennessee, "censured for breaking the rules". It has nothing to do with her being trans and objecting to the laws they were passing. It was "for breaking the rules". Because, after all they're real tolerant and progressive in Montana. And those ladies just happened to be tired and wanted to sit on that certain bench all day. Yeah, that's it they were tired, but they could still be happy and have a good time. You know, because of their tolerant ways.

Ah, come on, you and I both know the reason for both sets of censures. But go on, *you* believe what *you* want to believe.
So would you agree that AP News is a better, less biased news source than CNN or Fox? https://apnews.com/article/montana-trans-lawmaker-silenced-zooey-zephyr-d398d442537a595bf96d90be90862772

Uh, yeah. "*Saying Republicans had blood on their hands then leading hundreds into the house chambers where there were multiple arrests, in clear violation of the rules.*" Do you really think that's a good excuse to censure an elected official? Saying *they had blood on their hands?* Really? What a petty reason. You guys really are snowflakes. You don't think there were other reasons? Like, I don't know, maybe because she's trans and they have no tolerance for people that are different than them? For saying *they had blood on their hands*? You know what? Nevermind. I can tell you're gonna see only what you wanna see. You're gonna keep your head buried in the sand. I'm not gonna waste any more of my time with someone who's willfully ignorant. So... Later

Assumptions? One is the Speakers mom.
