I respect Robert Smith wearing eyeliner. This bigoted fucker can eat shit, I’ll criticize his eyeliner because it’s a sign of his deep hypocrisy.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, anyone involved with national-level republican politics is either a bigot, or cynically pandering to the bigots (which is worse imo).

That said, I think a lot of people fear/hate trans people because they really can’t conceptualise what being trans actually means. Pointing out that if, as a 40-something man who has an embedded self-image of themselves, you find yourself going bald it’s not uncommon or unnatural to feel a sense of sadness or loss or unhappiness because your internal and external self images no longer align. You can then point out that some people might choose varying methods - everything from subtle changes to how they style their hair to full on medical interventions - to try and regain some feeling of control over their external self image and bring it closer to their internal identity. There is a straight line from there back to gender affirming care for trans people, and that makes it a smaller jump for people to extend empathy into a situation that they find so foreign that “trans people are actually just all pedos and rapists something something men in women’s changing rooms” is a more plausible explanation for them

Lets call it what it is. He fucks underage couches. That makes him a rapist. He’s a couch rapist.

I dunno about couches but my gaydar went nuclear at that clip.

But of course, he can’t be gay, because he didn’t want to suck dicks at the age of 8.

Why did she not ask him if he organized any support for the innocent BLM protestors that did not commit any crimes? Why just the Jan 6 insurrectionists?

It’s like when Sideshow Bob was running for Mayor and used ads denouncing Mayor Quimby for letting crooks like Sideshow Bob out of jail.

Vance isn’t nearly as intelligent as Bob. But I did laugh at the comparison.

Vance is a Yale grad and a best selling author. It’s a good example of imposter syndrome; he’s better than Trump in any possible way, but lacks the intestinal fortitude to be anything but a lickspittle.

A lot of the GOP leadership is not stupid. Some of them are very intelligent.They’re just self-serving and morally bankrupt.

TBH, I think a lickspittle probably needs quite a bit of intestinal fortitude

It’s a trap either way. Like asking Matt Gaetz if he agrees children should not be trafficked and raped by middle-aged adults. Any direct answer to that would make him look like a pedophile.

That’s why you aren’t a politician (along with probably many other reasons). The correct response is something like: “there are certain actions that these protesters shouldn’t be taking.” You just totally avoid the question and pretend like you answered it.

Yeah but they get away with it because their audience only cares/is fed the stuff they agree with

Trump said the government should be allowed to take people’s guns without due process (just breaking two constitutional amendments, NBD) and Republicans just had to wait a couple days and their voters forgot about it
