Conservatives bear their teeth at the sight of happiness. Happy people aren't subjugated, scared, and in line.
Tangential to the point, but any writer that unironicslly uses the phrase "broke the internet" in a headline needs to be sent to a gulag.
and added, “You raised your kid to be a puffy beta male. Congrats.”
I thought these were just characters in hollywood production. What the fuck.
I am not surprised that conservatives find open signs of affection, and the general feelings and expression of love between a child and father, to be "weird".
These comments come from people whose kids hate and/or resent them. Love, in general, is seen by them as weakness. These people need therapy, they are mentally ill.
How the fuck it's related to his disability or anything?
Imagine your father, like a not deadbeat one, a caring one, having his once-in-the-life moment at the state-wide convention. It's not weird to cry. It's weird not to.
Men do cry, men do have emotions, men aren't a fuel for a vehicle you hop on. And men are well capable of anger. The anger against a fucko who laughs at other man's kid.
Men cry, and cowards hide their emotions out of shame. Let it out wherever you are and fuck everyone else. I don't trust anybody who doesn't occasionally cry. That's sociopath behavior.
Thanks.
Doesn’t matter if he was normative or not.
There’s no excuse for treating someone like shit for having real emotions that harmed absolutely nobody.
Oh hey look, the new ann coulter proposal video just droppe... And, he called it off.
Just think of the fucking human sludge it would take to propose to ann coulter in the first place, and then realize that those dudes STILL couldn't go through with it. They got one full whiff and said, "LOOK lady... I literally pay millions of dollars to hunt human children for fun in Luxembourg, I have a Michelin chef flown in to prepare their livers for me for dinner... but YOU are just a god damn irredeemable monster... I can't go through with this..."
Oooh snapz 🤣
I love Anne Coulter tried to call him weird and then had to delete her Tweet because making fun of kids it's actually the weird thing.
Don't listen to the "we didn't know he had a disability" crowd. They knew what they were doing.
Give them a few terms in power and that kid advances from "having a disability" to "being euthanised for the good of the nation".
Isn't that a post birth abortion?
I'm more irritated that so many people use his disability as an "excuse." If he were the most average, neurotypical boy in the world, it would still be perfectly normal and acceptable to get excited and emotional about his father potentially being the next vice president.
Maybe, maybe not.
It’s irrelevant because that’s not what happened.
I get what you’re saying, but I find comparisons like this - although founded in fairness- to be ultimately unhelpful because they draw consideration away from what did happen: bullying and otherism. This isn’t about what might have been, it’s about what happened. And we can say how it would have been unacceptable under this or that circumstance, but that, I feel, detracts from us all uniting behind saying that THIS, under THESE circumstances was wrong.
I’m not trying to criticize you at all, your intentions are good here. I just don’t think that we should lose focus of criticizing the bullies for the reason why they were bullying in the first place. They were bullying this kid because he is different. Because he is an other. If he wasn’t, they probably would not have, or they would not have attacked his otherness.
The person you replied to wasn't disagreeing that they would bully him for being different. I just see them as saying no matter who or how someone is it should be ok for anyone to cry while being proud of their parent. I wish I could cry for being proud of mine but they're on the other side and probably mocked him as well.
I don't think you need to try to be dismissive of the commenters opinion, it's perfectly valid just as yours and mine. You can get yours out without having to say "I think you're wrong." Anyways 3rd party perspective over.
I wasn’t dismissing or even criticizing them— I think you misunderstood my comment.
Well not to be overly pedantic just because you say you're not trying to criticize them doesn't mean you weren't. As for your message it seems to be lasered focused the kid's level of ablelism which is a valid point but it doesn't invalidate the above comment.
If you’re claiming to know my intentions and thoughts better than I, myself, do, then I suggest you open a psychic hotline.
Otherwise, perhaps acknowledge that, perhaps, you might just be wrong.
Instead republicans cry when the oligarchs take all their money via inflation and increased housing costs
All this culture nonsense is such a distraction
Excellent. The press have a story they can jump up and down on for a day or two and leave Harris alone.
Excellent work, Gus. You did good a hundred different ways, sir.
I mean, Republicans are usually deep in the throes of toxic masculinity these days, so as shitty as it is that they’re responding this way, it’s not surprising.
