    The obsession with Hunter is fucking weird as hell. And he seems to live rent free in their heads.

    I was talking to my conservative brother and made a joke about drugs or something, and he immediately said “Just watch out for Hunter Biden! Hahaha!”

    It wasn’t even a political conversation, I just mistook a smoke shop sign for something else and joked about it! I don’t even think I can name Trump’s kids except Eric. And I don’t know fucking anything about them. Why do they care about Hunter when he’s not even the fucking president, it’s so bizarre.

      I think it’s as simple as Hunter being a convenient boogeyman to demonize and weave into the “democrats bad” narrative in conservative media. And many conservatives think about what that media machine tells them to think about - including second hand from their buddy who is “into politics.”

      I also think its a conservative thing to use their kids as political tools. So anything bad Hunter gets caught with will lead back to Biden, they think. Because projection.
