Imagine being so young and having so much hate in you.
I pity that woman.
Nah, she deserves every single ounce of hate and pain that gets delivered to her.
At this point it looks like just a facade for their hateful voters, they seem to view it like a job. Basically actors.
See the dominion lawsuit, what Hannity, Tucker and Co think about Trump behind the scenes. Or Vance 5 years ago.
I love how she said she gets along with everyone and still went on to say that it's "impossible to walk around New York City without running into a mentally ill fa***t." Like, who do you think you're referring to with that statement? Because it seems to me she's referring to the drag queen she "gets along with." At least the hypocrisy remains consistent.
drag queens have a right to... drag? personal life doesn't impact professional life or affect any parties not involved. People should be able to find their happiness in this fucked up world.
And to be more clear. I'm criticizing people who have let their upbringing convince them that something that is none of their business somehow impacts their personal life
Absolutely, it's also completely ridiculous that she seems to recognize that drag can be fun and chill, yet continues to double down on the phobia.
It shouldn’t, but the reality is that it does. When someone has a bad day and Karens out, maybe says some especially heinous stuff, maybe says some racist stuff. They usually aren’t at work. They are usually fine at doing their jobs but quite a few people have been fired over stuff like that. That is definitely personal life affecting professional life.
I could keep going, but the reality is that it has become quite acceptable these days to get in professional hot water for what you do when you aren’t on the clock.
Hell, even drug tests at work are usually getting punished in your professional life for your personal life.
Yeah. I might have misspoke in that regard. What my ultimate opinion is that if your personal life isn't impacted by what stranger's do, then you have no position to properly speak on it
Sounds like a confession.
Republicans never claimed not to be pedophiles, so I think that's on us for assuming
This nazi shithead should get hers for terrorist statements. I hope that happens. Fuck this hypocrite
School choice activist Corey DeAngelis participated in a GayHoopla adult film called “Super Star Compilation! How Many Strokes Til You Cum?!” before writing his book, The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.
Are we sure this isn't The Onion?
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?
It's so strange that these types of people choose the GOP, because I don't think most Democrats give a shit about this. It's definitely just them taking on a strong form of projection...
It's sad. These people are just sad people running away from things their "friends" told them are evil. So they then become "the friends" to others. And here we have sad circle of GOP life. Sad people making other people sad.
Another example of people thinking they can't be who they really are, so choose to hate the ones who can.
I bet that party was a rager. I hope she had a great time. She’ll never be invited to one again.
Why do they have to be this way? What happened to these Republicans? Are they genuinely held beliefs or is it all just opportunism?
ETA: does it matter? 🙁
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."
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.
The irony of this.
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.
So, does that mean he’s a pedophile? At least according to himself?
No no no, in their mind her case doesn't count
With the amount of 'blaming others of what ails yourself'that the hope are doing, the chance is very likely
NGL, I've met 3 people in my life that are/were drag queens. All 3 have tried to get in my pants even though I'm not gay. HOWEVER COMMA, that was just 3 people in that community. That doesn't define the whole demographic. A person that didn't grow beyond their narrow upbringing probably wouldn't have that kind of perspective. It creates fear and shame for who those people really are. Granted I also was not friends with those people. I didn't know them beyond their persona's and they didn't know me beyond barroom shenanigans. But digressing back to my point, if you grow up in a household where your true feelings of how you should live are suppressed, then that creates shame which puts people like this in this position. It's a way of thought that is quickly diminishing and people are beginning to be able to live how they want regardless of personal opinion. The people who scream against those acts and get caught participating should definitely be criticized, but criticized still with open arms because that's a victory for all parties.
But, I'm a white cis male, so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt
Why do use an example of 3 drag queens hitting on you as an example of them doing something bad? I've been hit on by other guys even though I'm straight, and I find it flattering more than anything. It's not like people know your sexual preferences by looking at you.
What I'm getting at is I understand how closed minded people would be upset about it
I think you mean, "Drag queens caught partying with GOP candidate who called them pedophiles."
Do drag queens know everyone who comes at the club/venue they're performing?
Every accusation is a confession.
Yes. Literally every single one.
You're a genius...
