    Interesting that GOP will list things that they are opposed to and then go and do them. We better make sure this dude isn’t a pedo.

    I think you mean, “Drag queens caught partying with GOP candidate who called them pedophiles.”

        The point of the comment wasn’t to blame the drag queens. It was to reverse the implicit shame of being, “caught,” that’s in the title, giving the connotation that it’s shameful or embarrassing to associate with the GOP candidate, not the other way around. It was just a little quip that I’m sure I’ve made much funnier with this explanation.

    This is such a weird phenomena, but also a sad one. I’m assuming she does enjoy partying with drag queens but is so ashamed about it that she decides to compensate by rallying against them, sort of like how staunch anti-gay politicians are often caught in gay acts.

    Or maybe it was just some drunken lapse of her “”“moral beliefs”“”, can’t really tell.

    Huh. It seems like all of these GOP grifters/culture warriors don’t believe a single word that comes out of their own mouths. It’s almost as if they’re pandering to a special select group of Americans that possess very little in the way of critical thinking or even just basic thinking skills, and that group of Americans is keeping these sociopaths in power. The question then is, are we willing to only address the symptoms of a nation with the worst education system in the G7, or the root cause of all of this buffoonery? I’m saying the root cause of most of America’s woes is bad education.

    She also questioned how the video of her dancing at a club would be released before videos of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein – both of whom prosecutors allege engaged in sex acts with minors – are released to the public.

    Because you were at a public party, you dumb fuck.

      Nah, Just run of the mill Republican Hypocrisy.

      Like the Anti-Gay pastor that was caught taking a rent boy on an all expenses paid european vacation.

      or the anti-gay senator caught trying to proposition a guy in an airport bathroom

      or any other anti-whatever republican inevitably being involved/doing/being what they are against.

      It’s always projection. Every fucking time.

      I don’t want to accuse the GOP of pedophilia, but so many of their accusations have been admissions that it disgusting to even contemplate.

      This is the same timeline that fails (refuses?) to recognize the dystopian overlap of 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Idiocracy, Margaret Atwood, … and its own blithely un-ironic trajectory, right?

    Why do they have to be this way? What happened to these Republicans? Are they genuinely held beliefs or is it all just opportunism?

      I’m not a psychologist but there has to be some deep-seated self-loathing from repressing their true sexuality/identity for decades. Or maybe they subconsciously feel “if I can’t be who I want to be, you can’t either.”

        I am a Psychologist. They gain status from being assholes, because enough people privilege assholes with status. Authoritarianism requires an outgroup to oppress, and people think that hostility and oppression is ‘strength’. The original theory (which is not entirely supported by evidence) of the Authoritarian Personality is based on Freud, and it says that a similar family dynamic of a powerful father who arbitrarily abuses and oppresses others is the basis.

        I’ve got a theory on this: They have gay urges and therefor think everyone has them, so they believe that everyone needs to “choose to be straight” and it’s just weak sinners who are giving into their urges.

        Also to grandparent: it’s allllllll projection with conservatives.

          Not every repressed gay person is a cunt. Not every cunt is a repressed gay person.

          But some of these aggresively anti-LGBT+ cunts sure look like they’re in the intersection.

          Edit: IDK if the phrasing “repressed gay” works in English? If it’s wrong, let me know

            Repressed gay works just fine tbh, most people probably use “closeted” but that’s more colloquial.

            However, referring to a gay person as a “gay” can be a bit problematic as it strips their personhood from the statement. A lot of bigots will refer to gay people that way to imply they are lesser. I dunno if that’s how it works in other languages, but at least in English it’s generally more respectful to refer to groups as people specifically. So you’d always say “gay people” or “black people” and etc.

              Fixed that then. I chose repressed over closeted, as I feel it emphasises the point that they’re pushing themselves deeper into the closet, but maybe that’s a linguistic nuance I’m misunderstanding.

    Knowing how much the Gaggle Of Pedophiles likes to project, maybe she showed up expecting something at that party.
