The Absurd GOP

[Rev. Rye]

The cause of autism is the new dog whistle for the GOP and MAGAts.  They are busy throwing anything they can out there (except the Epstein files) to see what will stick.

Sadly, many of the faithful will swallow it all...hook, link, and sinker.

Yep, and meanwhile the scientific consensus remains: overwhelmingly hereditary.  Anecdotally, my son and myself are ASD/ADHD, my mother is ADHD (not evaluated for Autism).  This pattern holds true in a LOT of families.

What we're witnessing is the wholesale undermining and destruction of expertise.

And, frankly, being this brazenly stupid about it is honestly surprising.

Literally all that would be needed to rebut this is have some uncut autistic guy* show off a dick pic and go “I refute it thus!” Like I was Samuel Johnson debating Bishop Berkeley. And the only reason I didn’t accept this challenge is because I am cut.

* Yes, I know autistic women are very much a thing, but I get the impression that the effects of male circumcision are easier to convey in a photo than FGM. And I’m sure more men would be up for it.
