All it would take would be Trump dropping a single line in one of his rambling diatribes about how he ate a guy once, and folks like this would do an immediate about face and push to legalize cannibalism.
Yeah then trump steaks could really make a comeback
If that was your single take away from that book, you might want to reread it.
Do you have some reason to believe that was my only take away from the book, or are you only parroting Upton Sinclair, who complained about that exact thing?
“I thought — this is going to be normalized at some point,” Scott said. “The way our society is going, and the direction we’re going, this is going to be normalized.”
“There is a lot of documentation out there,” Scott insisted. “If you just google it, people showing it, and how they’re doing it.”
After watching a decade old David Spade show! 😂
Of the Republican party's two main factions - the grifter wing and the rube wing - it's pretty clear which one she caucuses with.
The absolute disconnect from reality truly is disorienting.
"I heard about a thing that seems so implausible as to be ludicrous. I won't verify it. It has to be true!"
These people are living in a fantasy world that doesn't remotely exist. It's no wonder we're so fucked.
Without looking at the article, guess what party she's a member of.
The Donner Party?
Rim shot!
Both parties are against cannibalism, I'm pretty sure. Both parties are equally susceptible to hoaxes.
One party in particular makes a habit out of blowing up literal non-issues into doomsday political theater though.
One party in particular benefits more from making those non issues into dog and pony shows. The bullshit asymmetry principle.
No they aren't equally susceptible to hoaxes, and you can tell that's true because I can predict which party she's from.

Don't confuse fallibility with gullibility.
The main difference is the "willful" part of ignorance.
Uh huh. Which party is this lady a part of?
Rep. Heather Scott, a Republican, introduced a bill that would expand the state’s existing criminal cannibalism law to prohibit any person from “willfully provid[ing] the flesh or blood of a human being to another person to ingest without such person’s knowledge or consent.”
Exactly
What's the democratic equivalent of this? Or kitty litter in schools? Or any of the Q nonsense?
BoTh SiDeS!!1!11!!
If Biden made an anti-cannabalism speech, R's would be coming out for it in hours. And don't forget how Russia is totally cool with cannabalism for that tip of the hat to the far right.
Republicans are mentally defective. They should have no say over anything of consequence.
If you’re wasting government time making something that’s already as illegal as cannibalism illegal then you should be declared unfit for office.
It’s not like you’d lose anything of value in the interim while you’re finding someone else. It’s not like she’s fucking doing anything.
She was upset because Washington legalized human burial without preserving the dead?
So, hold up. Are they worried that if you don't preserve the dead they turn into zombies or something?
Only if you embalm them with Worcestershire sauce.
Give your meat a good ol rub!
pink...eye...
They oppose anything that challenges cultural norms.
What, do you think the funeral industry mutilates corpses and soaks them in chemicals just for enormous profit? Don't be a conspiracy theorist.
It's definitely not a perfect business model, what happens if people stop dying, or all people are dead?!
It's because sooner or later they know we're going to have to eat the rich and they're getting a leg up before it starts.
Are we sure they weren't trying to ban weed?
Jokes aside, this bill is problematic for a couple of reasons I can think of (although this bill isn't going to pass unless big funeral throws money at it). It sounds like this bill would ban green burial practices. Embalming is not good, the chemicals leech into the ground and eventually can end up in the groundwater. And some of those non embalming burial methods are basically the equivalent of chaining yourself to a tree for the foreseeable future due to the way our culture treats burial sites - your body is protecting the existence of a forest or similar.
Another non-embalming burial is a traditional Jewish one. They wrap a body in a decomposable sheet and bury it in a hole in the ground. It's pretty eco friendly too. Would this bill end up with freedom of religion issues?
You guys are welcome to eat me when I'm dead. I cannot think of something I'm less concerned about.
Everybody's gotta eat, I just happen to eat bodies. /s
Did this happen once before or am I having a case of déjà vu? The human composting thing is ringing some bells.
You know, I would have expected today's repubs to open up the law allowing the eating of the homeless and unemployed. Nice to see their ignorance at least trying to do good for once.
I have a Modest Proposal for you…
Now now - repubs don’t like Swifties.

This is such a good joke that I felt it deserved acknowledgment beyond a simple upvote. Well done!

in one of the only states that already has anti-cannibalism laws. a completely ignorant 'lawmaker'
Gotta get those single issue voters somehow
I worry about the mental state of anyone who's single issue is cannibalism.
On either side of the debate.
quietly puts away "if jesus is edible, why not steve?" sign
This is the best joke I’ve seen in a long, long time.
Have you read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair?
If that was your single take away from that book, you might want to reread it.

A vote for me is a vote to double-outlaw cannibalism!
