    Let’s just agree that these states are also the places where the hypocrisy is the strongest.

    Just look at the facts: These are the places where you have to preserve the life of a fetus just because you can hear a heartbeat (heart is just a muscle sack that acts as a pump, nothing else), but you can freely shoot your neighbor, a fully gestated human, who has stumbled onto your yard.

    You have to remind parents not to have drunken sex with their children, but you cannot let LGBTQ people have a book store or a unisex bathroom.

      Not even.

      Women have been forced to carry dead fetuses, which will kill them from sepsis as it starts to decompose.

      And the people who voted for it will deny it ever happening, until something similar happens to someone they know. Then they’ll cry on the street corners about how unfair it is.

      Remember: Scientific studies have shown that many conservatives are cold hearted and stupid, by demonstrating a clear correlation between conservative thinking/behaviour and lower than average cognitive ability and empathy. And literally every single one of them think they are a super genius and they think most people secretly share their political views.

        btw isn’t conservatism supposed to be about “everything is perfect as it is right now, don’t make any changes”?

          They say that, but they are liars. Liberals who typically want to conserve the standing social and economic order are the real conservatives.

          What the conservatives actually are is reactionaries.

          For the record, I’m not saying that because I’m a liberal, which I’m not. I don’t want to conserve the social or economic orders.

        can you please not just be homophobic as like some epic own of the conservatives. Even if its supposed to be an ironic thing because conservatives would hate to be called gay, it just reads as normal homophobia.

    Precisely how many people have been full on ready to drunkenly bang their daughter, and were persuaded not to by a billboard?

      It probably helped prevent a single rape, but that was because they live directly in front of the sign and saw it illuminated by lightning a day they were drunk.

    I remember one time driving through Oklahoma or Missouri in 04. 3 billboards in a row… “Stop” 2nd “Take a BREAK” 3rd, “Don’t ever shake a baby”

    Why you need one let alone 3 is a disappointing reflection of reality.

    I’m just an ignorant Yank, but is this really a big enough issue in the shit hole states that a billboard is necessary? I can’t even believe this is real!

      Nah the daughter wanted it, he knows because he was drunk at the time.

      Reminds me of the bible story about the daughter’s that got their father drunk and had sex with him. I’m totally sure that’s what happened and it wasn’t the father raping his daughters then blaming them for it.

        I love how the initial response is “I think he actually raped his daughters” instead of “the entire thing is literally just made up to control people like the rest of the bible.”

        Relax, Lot never even existed.

          I think the point is that even in a story they made up they create a fantasy where it’s the daughters fault for raping the father, not the other way around which it would obviously be.

          Relax with telling people to relax, they were pretty calm in their comment.
