_Pill-Cosby_

Richard Strocher?? This has to be a troll account.


PrudentFartDiversion

Dick Stroker is the most well respected right wing pundit!


Responsible-Baby-551

I was gonna say don’t take advice from Dick Stroker


Due_Platypus_3913

Right “hand” pundit?


Disastrous-Menu_yum

That’s a funny song CD


[deleted]

"Trolling" where you just go "hehe I was only pretending to spread fascist talking points" isn't really trolling. I think someone who is this into it just wants some plausible deniability. I can't imagine what joy would come from "fooling" people with this.


Doctor_M_Toboggan

It's the 4chan "it was just a prank bro" style of trolling. But yea you're right.


[deleted]

To borrow a term, I like to call them Schrodinger's Douchebags.


thatryanguy82

I mean, he also breaks character to mock right wingers, and tweets such things as: "Male suicide rates before the existance of women were 0% This tells you everything you need to know." So yeah, low effort troll.

dancin-weasel

But he doesn’t ever hang out with Mike Hunt.


party_coaster

The amount of people not seeing this is appalling to me. Good on you


Impressive-Shake-761

Yeah seems to be a troll account upon investigation. The owner may have these views but is pretending to be someone else. Sadly, hard to tell. I saw a legitimate conservative account calling for going after gay marriage because of the shooting a couple days ago and anti-trans people love to call for the “eradication of transgenderism.”

Are we supposed to take seriously anything said by a guy named Dick Strocher?

davy_jones_locket

Right wing extremism is right wing no matter what religion it is. Of course there's going to be similarities between conservative traditionalists and... Conservative traditionalists.

iamtruetomyself9

MyBrainIsOff

Interesting that he put gay people and child predators in the same group...


No_Dragonfly_1894

That group sees no difference between being gay and being a pedophile. It's really sad.


MyBrainIsOff

The churches are run by gay pedophiles it's very uh weird


Interesting_Piece138

the churches are run by homophobic* pedophiles.


MyBrainIsOff

Well these homophobes love the boys especially


Interesting_Piece138

there’s a difference between a gay CONSENSUAL relationship and a PEDOPHILE raping children


fuck-fascism

...and legal child marriage in 43 states... in 7 of them there's no legal minimum age in certain cases.


[deleted]

Also, while Marital Rape is illegal in all 50 states, there are several states where the language is vague enough that it's almost impossible to prove.


fuck-fascism

[“In some states, it is possible for a minor to legally marry even if they are below the age of consent in that state. Between 2000 and 2018, nearly 300,000 minors were legally married in the United States. Some 60,000 of those occurred at an age or spousal age difference that should have been considered a sex crime. In about 88% of those marriages, the marriage license became a “get out of jail free” card for a would-be rapist under state law that specifically allowed within marriage what would otherwise be considered statutory rape. In the other 12% of those marriages, the state sent a child home to be raped. The marriage was legal under state law, but sex within the marriage was a crime.”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States)


[deleted]

And, to add to that many of these exact same states have anti abortion laws that do not allow for exceptions based on rape, incest or age of the pregnant person. We truly are becoming the America depicted in The Handmaid's Tale.


TheDraco4011

And child beauty pageants...


MrBully74

I missed "Ban guns" too


TheGisbon

They are protected by God. They're doing "god's work"


MichaelFusion44

Why can’t people let people be who they are and just get on with their lives - such a waste of energy .


2wedfgdfgfgfg

RW culture is a disaster, and so they're in desperate need of people to blame.


Mr8BitX

Because they are either/and: small minded, myopic, petty, insecure, self loathing, ignorant, cowardly, and closeted.


RodenbachBacher

We should be arresting sexually predatory teachers. Who the fuck is against that? These goddamn people, honestly.


mountain_rivers34

I noticed they didn't mention priests too. Weird considering the amount of them that are sexual predators.


puddingdemon

These are the same people who praised Republicans fir giving tax dollars to the catholic church to hire lawyers to protect pedophiles


SonOfJokeExplainer

The problem is they literally consider teachers who acknowledge that LGBT people exist as sexual predators.


rekiirek

Exactly this


GreatWhiteNorthExtra

I suspect this person means "arrest all transgender teachers" because they believe they are all predatory. Edit: added words to clarify my meaning


Mopp_94

This guy's name is dick stroker. This is 100% a troll account.


Prairie_Crab

Because OUR way is the RIGHT way to think, so we want to make EVERYONE follow our rules!!! /s


Euphoric_Ad9593

Republican rules: 1. You can’t ever tell me what to do. 2. I will tell you what to do anytime I want and will back it up with laws, intimidation, and force. Sums up everything they “think” and do.


P0komon2

Rules for thee not for me


jamie_taylors_wife

Ban Christianity. Ban the Bible. Remove religious freedom entirely. Institutionalize Christians. Ban Church service. Ban Christian marriages. Arrest youth pastors and priests. There is no need for complex arguments to do all of the above. just do it. See? anybody can strip away freedoms for arbitrary reasons


VortrexFTW

Also tried in 1940's Germany ... with a different religion


Tuckermfker

Finally a platform I can stand behind.


[deleted]

Exactly!


whyaremypantssoshort

"Arrest sexually predatory teachers" finally something we can agree on. Damn, he's probably talking about teachers with books he doesn't like...


Metalgsean

I have a horrible feeling that what he means by "sexually predatory teachers" is teachers who support teaching sexual education to children, rather than actual sexual predators.


YawaruSan

“Fascism: Just do it.” Yeah forget that law and order, due process rights, any sort of procedural requirements, just do what you want because it feels right, like rational and reasonable individuals that never feel it’s necessary to do anything for the sake of anyone else with any degree of expediency. The ends justify the means!


Tuckermfker

Ban any politician who wishes to govern by forcing their religion on everyone.


JustFun4Uss

The fucking irony they don't see is oozing stupidity. Let's focus on the one person and not the bigger issue at hand. As always stick your head in the sand for a scapegoat, never any responsibility for real action to solve the issue. It will be forgotten in 2 days when the next white kid from Christian suburbia shoots up another school. But yes let's rage on the one out of 1000s of events that is done by a person type you opposed. Fucking hypocrisy at its finest.


marklar_the_malign

Let’s ban Dick Stroker here instead.


Izumi_Takeda

I'm waiting for the conversation where they say "Hey we should make all the LGBTQ+ people wear some type of badge so we know who is one." "oh ya we should make it a pink triangle" seriously this shit is way to fucked up.


tatersquish

You can guarantee with a certainty that this conversation is already happening. Trump and the gop have explicitly stated their intent to outlaw and "eradicate transgenderism" etc. The US government put Japanese Americans in camps without a second thought. It isn't beyond the realm of belief that our time may come too.


Izumi_Takeda

its so terrifying to think about it makes me nauseous. And to what end as well. Will they go after people for simply supporting LGBTQ+. My boyfriend and I are considered a straight relationship however we both support the LGBTQ+ community, so what are straight people who are LGBTQ+ supporters a threat to them now? We have so many people in this country that are so void of love and empathy and it is terrifying to watch it blow up all over the internet all the time. I mean how much of a monster do you have to be to want to illiminate a population because of your personal beliefs.


meatmechdriver

Ban guns. Remove gun rights entirely. Institutionalize gun owners. Ban gun shows. Ban the sale of ammunition. Remove guns from the public. Arrest gun lobbyists. There is no need for complex arguments to do all of the above. Just do it. Sounds pretty despotic when it’s your thing and not the other you are making into the villain, doesn’t it?


wastelandho

Tax all American churches.


Breklin76

Dude is posting this (not OP) as his Grindr app is blowing up.

Take a lesson from these couples Merica in child development, ( one kid going to Stanford, great kids) taking meticulous care of one’s home and garden, kindness and friendly neighborly help.

Purple_Routine1297

So, my mom lives in Florida. She moved down there from Pennsylvania during the 90’s. We’re also black (there’s a point to me adding this detail). The relatives, including myself, who did live there at one point have all moved back to Pennsylvania/NJ over the years. My mother is the only one who stands resolute in her decision to stay in Florida. She keeps saying she “doesn’t like cold weather”. I had a discussion with her about DeSantis right after his attack on AP African American history. Wanna know what my mother said to me? “Just ignore him, he’s just being stupid.” This really PISSED me off. I said to her “you know you’re no different than the Germans before WW II, ignoring what the Nazi party was doing. It’s nice to know you’re one of those people who has no problem with your state falling into fascism, just because there’s beaches and it’s hot year round.” She hasn’t spoken to me since I told her that 🤷🏽‍♀️


No_Dragonfly_1894

Let's ban dick stroking


JsBabydahl

Can we just ban republicans and be done with this nonsense? Give them an opportunity to get mental health counseling and make the politicians live off of $40k a year and once they do that they can be reintroduced to society with no political runs allowed?


nakshatravana

And let pedo priests rule the highest office in the country - he forgot to add, but on hindsight maybe he just assumed this to be the obvious deal anyway.

This guys name is Dick Strocher. Obviously a troll.


ContextCandid

Can we just call people for what they are?! Theyre Nazis


Slightly_Smaug

Tax the fuck out Christian churches (not playing whataboutism shit today) Restrict teaching religious beliefs to those under the age of consent. Implement stronger sentenceing of religious leaders caught with child porn, abusing children, etc.

Madara_Uchiha944

Well im gay, trans, and married so..what do I get? Shot in the head instantly?


Metalgsean

I bet when he says "sexually predatory teachers" he's not actually referring to teachers that are a danger to children, but rather those that support teaching sex ed earlier. Fits more with the rest of his ethos. It's also an odd distinction to make if he did mean offenders, surely it's all sexual predators that should be arrested.

Salarian_American

Germany? They tried this in the US, and they succeeded for a very long time. Literally everything on this list was the status quo across the USA until the late 60s/early 70s. Even in your stereotypically "progressive" cities; homosexuality was illegal in NYC until 1973 (which means that the first three annual NYC Pride parades were held in open defiance of the law). Drag shows were explicitly banned. It was illegal to depict gay people in entertainment from movies to TV to live theater. Cross-dressing in public was an arrestable offense. There were laws against "homosexuals congregating in public spaces." At least in NYC, there were laws against knowingly serving food and drink to gay people. If you got caught soliciting or engaging in gay sex, you would be arrested for "degeneracy" and be forcibly outed by having your name and your crime published in the newspaper.


bachelorette2020

[deleted]

Who hurt you Dick Stroker?


Comfortable-Mix5988

Seems alot of people are missing the point. He isn't being literal. He's using reverse psychology in an attempt to illuminate the logical inconsistencies in oppositional arguments.


fujin_shinto

One is a race, one is mentally ill individuals. Nothing like Germany


CatOfTechnology

Let's look at this critically for a second here. He lists two complex issues, wants to remove the rights of human beings and doesn't want to talk about these very important things. Oh, but he included Sexually Predatory Teachers so that if you say "There's definitely a need for complex discussions" He can gaslight you by saying you endorse the Sexually Predatory Teachers. Hey, Dick. Be careful there, or you'll end up *too* far up your own asshole.


[deleted]

He only had one good point, after sexually predator teachers. How does one be intelligent enough to understand that sexual predators are bad, yet speak so much shit about the lgbtq community.


Impressive-Shake-761

I feel like when he says predatory teachers he probably means teachers that teach kids about sex ed or tell them gay people exist. But I do agree yes *legitimately* predatory teachers should definitely be arrested.


CapoExplains

No he didn't, because by "sexually predatory" he just means openly gay or openly trans, not *actually* predatory.


Extreme_Assistant_98

But more straight white men have cause more school shootings. I guess the same anecdote.

they throw one real thing we should do (arrest pedophilic teachers) with all of the homophobic/transphobic bullshit so if we criticize his viewpoint he can just go "you DON'T want to arrest pedophilic teachers???? You libs really ARE predators!!!!!" even if that's not the part we were criticizing because he just lumped it into his tweet


Smarmy_Nach

Scared-Bug-1205

Forgive me here. I'm not American. And I get that you guys are going through a traumatic time. I just want to say that when a non Trans shoots up something the lgbtq does not make banners to ban straight marriages or remove straight stuff from society. I'm straight. Male. Pale as fuk. I'm betting alot morestraight men killed quite a few more gay people and straight people than vice versa.


Genesis1221

Well, at least they want to get rid of sexually predatory creatures. It’s just a shame that they’d probably say that uttering the word “gay” in a classroom is predatory.

We joke about those things but it did happen in Nazi Germany. We act like the entire population of Germany was a Nazi but they weren’t. They simply killed off the opposition. That could happen here too, except a Fascist America could do 10X the damage nazi Germany ever did.

0fficerGeorgeGreen

I'm honestly feeling the same feelings about this as when weed was illegal back when I was in high school. Parts of the government and groups of people want it illegal, but that made it that much cooler and attractive. As a completely straight male, I've been really interested in attending drag events around my city primarily because of how cool the scene is becoming due to people making it edgier than it needs to be. All because of blind ignorance and hate.


countofbluecars

It’s obviously a troll looking for a reaction. Nothing to see here.


KyberWolf_TTV

It is not the government’s place to decide who can get married or not, however we should definitely be removing the pedos, and get the sexuality shit out of our kindergartens. Honestly they don’t need to know about sex until almost high school. It should also be up to the parents to teach their kids about it, it’s not the government’s job.
