The lines have never been this blurred between caricature and reality.

Well, nothing is more suggestively manly than this:

The number of things that he’s inadvertently implying with this that would cause him am aneurysm is just delightful

I don't think women in general love trump. I think that's a difficult demo for him. Sure I can find a few at his events but the average woman really doesn't like him. Does that mean he's not masculine? They are just inventing little things to be on the surface of what is and isn't masculine. Walz has the only core masculine traits I can think of. He loves and takes care of his family. Everything else is superfluous window dressing. These guys only care about dressing though.

He does display more than those traditionally masculine traits. He portrays himself as a protector of the vulnerable and a provider. Making sure women and children are safe and provided for is very traditionally masculine. He has made it a point of his political career to help children, and as an ex-member of the national guard, he can claim that "protector" archetype.

This is not to say that there aren't problems with traditional masculinity, but there's more to it than just family.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

That's a good point. A family doesn't just have to be your flesh and blood though. It can be your community as well, but I know I wasn't thinking that even though I should have been. I don't see much of the leadership on the trump team expressing love to even their flesh and blood even if I do apply a strict definition of family.

"Did you see the size of Walz's hands compared to the cup? They were so tiny, completely emasculating!

And his makeup, yeah he wears it, but they couldn't even match it to his skin tone, it was so orange... Hmmm, wait a minute?" 🤔🤣

If I were working at Fox News and shit like this was scheduled, I'd intercut the monologue with pictures of Trump doing exactly what they say is weird.

I'd want the talking head to eventually stop and say, "Wait...why are we showing pictures of Trump?"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Weren't they just throwing a collective temper tantrum about paper straws and how you could pry their plastic straws out of their cold dead lips?

No, what it tells me is how little dirt you have to sling at Walz.

Whereas Trump is a twice-impeached felon with dozens of convictions and a judge had to remind people in court that he raped the defamation litigant. He also insults disabled people and veterans and lies with every breath. Oh, and he participated in a failed coup against the American People. Trump and Fox "News" should stop attacking their betters...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

It's somehow magically different when he does it.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They know they are full of shit. The know they are lying.

They are just evil cunts that spread hate and lies to manipulate people.

I've said it before. There are only 2 types of right wingers. They are either stupid or evil. Sometimes both. But it's always at least one of the 2.

True, but I know people who are other categories. They have mental and/or social issues. The big social issue is tribalism - some go along to get along to survive in their social and work environments.

You flat-tongue that milkshake all slow and sexy like a proper harley-riding powerlifter.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

He probably thinks straws look phallic, on account of him having a micro penis

"Fellas, is it gay to use a straw?"

Fragile snowflake weirdos more obsessed with dicks than I am, and I'm gay as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Any time you close your mouth over something and suck, you a gay man! That’s why real men don’t own Stanley’s!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I don’t care for dicks, but I do love to suck

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Amazing. I wish they had contacted you to speak at the DNC! Or the RNC, for that matter...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Depends if the straw was made from fossilized unicorns or not.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Only if you suck until the creamy goodness reaches your lips.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It is important to keep stressing the "weirdo" line. It's super effective.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Calling a reactionary a weirdo got me banned in one of the political communities recently. Mod called it attacking language

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

That mod is a weirdo

I like to suck on straws with milkshakes so hard, that my cheeks implode.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Like a reverse Louis Armstrong.

Are you using staws in your vanilla ice cream shakes tho?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

That's a good point. You may be attracted to men and enjoy having sex with them... but Fox News only says you're gay if you use a straw for a fast food drink.

You guys know that I like to play with AI, so I asked AI what to make of this news channel. The AI told me to delete this meme because it has to be fake because no news channel would ever have aired that chyron nor have said such a ridiculous statement on prime time television.

Guys, this is real. September 4, 2024. The bottom right image was added for relating to the topic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

AI: Ha ha, very funny feeding my AI generated stuff back to me, like any actual humon news channel would do this

No it's real

AI: I'm outta here, y'all humons fuckin' nuts

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Even that Grok AI thing from Twitter calls out elon musk and other right wingers on their bullshit if you show it tweets. Its funny as fuck.
