Cool

What? It’s LESS reductionist than just criticizing the makeup wearing alone

Fine, then mock them for being hypocrites. So much of the criticism is shit like the Grindr search volume in Milwaukee. What’s the joke - a bunch of gay people came to Milwaukee? They can’t be out? They aren’t who you’d think you were? It’s not funny if you apply it to some other group. It wouldn’t be funny if Republicans made the same comment about the DNC convention.

If you want to mock someone for being a hypocrite, mock them for being a hypocrite. JD Vance sucks in part because he’s a hypocrite, because he wears makeup while criticizing people who don’t adhere to gender norms. To just criticize the makeup alone is not good enough to expose the hypocrisy.

Idk I find all the memes mocking closeted or queer presenting republicans for being closeted or queer presenting pretty gross. A bunch of people who are suffering because they can’t be out is sad, not funny, to me. Even if those people suck. I can still hate the parts that suck and feel sympathy for the parts that don’t.

I agree he’s a piece of shit, so why not make fun of the things he’s a piece of shit for and not “lol he’s a BOY who wears MAKEUP and is mean to other BOYS who wear MAKEUP!” It’s a bad look for a group of people who don’t want to be, you know, bigots.

Then make fun of the turd and not the makeup? There’s plenty to make fun of. Why are you mad that you don’t get to be a bigot even when the target of your bigotry is a piece of shit?

I used to think that and tell my wife that. She told me she wears makeup to feel all sorts of things: strong, assertive, sexy, dignified, powerful, invisible, whatever. Who am I to tell her she shouldn’t use eyeliner to feel strong when she’s got a big meeting at work? If you like makeup live your life

Ok first of all there is ZERO evidence that JD Vance has EVER reached completion in the cushiony embrace of a chaise lounge

NONE

Yeah shame them for being hypocrites but not people for wearing makeup. If you like makeup that’s cool

Just so we’re a hundred percent clear anyone can wear makeup and shaming someone for doing it is fucking gross.

Shaming them for being hypocrites is chill tho

Their guy getting elected depends on the electoral college, which only loosely represents the popular vote. They don’t need MOST people to like their plans. They need most people in certain districts in certain states.

The Right doesn’t care if most people like it. It’s not for most people - fascism never is.

They care about taking power and enacting their plans. Public opinion’s got nothing to do with it

Yeah I bet the want him to resign. Untethered by reelection he might actually do something they don’t like.

Donald Trump is no Teddy Roosevelt. Not a tenth of the leader. Teddy Roosevelt was a flawed man, but an incredible leader, and he ignored every inconvenience or barrier in his life. Being shot was like a cloudy day or a hill: just push through, it’s irrelevant.

And yes, like always progressives are held to a higher standard than fascists for everything…even assassination attempts

Fair enough no hard feelings. The simple fact is we don’t know the motive. We assume but it could just as well be an obsessed fan (a la Selena) as a republican who thinks Trump isn’t extreme enough as a leftist who wants to take out a fascist. Those motives ascribe different responses. It’s also a little naive to think that you could just ignore an assassination attempt. I understand ignoring trumps day to day antics, but this is bigger than those.

Disagreeing with you isn’t talking in circles. Your rationale is…you’re bored and you emigrated. Cool. That rationale is fucking grim, man.

You seem to think you’ve made some incredibly compelling argument, when all you’ve done is state what you are (bored) and where you are (not the US).

Being bored by political violence isn’t caring, sorry. Being bored by the rampant gun violence epidemic, being bored by the American death cult, these things are not caring.

Same reason why I did last week. But I still think it’s important to care

Caring that a former politician was almost assassinated isn’t feeding the trolls. Being bored by the very reasonable deluge of coverage of a former president nearly being assassinated is absolutely grim as hell man. Assuming the poster is American take some fucking interest in your life.

Holy shit this is fucking grim
