And Let's not forget about the other Deplorables

LOL, you're right. or some ad that's trying to speak in "code."

Either way, I maintain that no one in that picture is doing anything but face down ass up. I have no problem with pushy, demanding bottoms, but they aren't compatible with each other. I wonder if his obviously heterosexual wife, with whom he is obviously hetero lusting after knows about this.

Hmmm.... Manhood.

I never really noticed how gay that actually is.

I'm just waiting for the Haw-Ker 'shipping and fan fiction. Then Men.com will do a themed video.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has reached a historic $880 million settlement over hundreds of child sex abuse claims...

Archdiocese of L.A. reaches $880M child sex abuse settlement over hundreds of claims

It's the largest single child sex abuse settlement with a Catholic archdiocese.

Not Drag Queens...kinda.

Ya know, what with all these "godly men" diddling all their children, one would think the religiously intolerant would stop sending their hildren to these people.

In the words of the late Christian fanatic Jack Chick, haw, haw, haw!

All this time, Moms for Liberty have been pursuing the wrong men in dresses.

Where are the fabulous hats!

I suppose it'd easy to hide an altar boy under there.

I wanted to add a laughing face but I think of all the emotional trauma these closeted predators have unleashed and it makes me so sad.

I look forward to the collapse of christian church based faiths,

I've lost track of the number stories that I've posted about ministers and clergy abusing their flocks.

Now that there's beginning to be accountability for organizations like the Catholic Church, the charges are being dismissed by evangelicals as "one bad apple". And simultaneously, they continue their campaigns against drag queens and transgendered people.

Deplorables like Ted Cruz and Marsha Blackburn babble on about drag shows and then stay silent when confronted with the evidence that the call is coming from inside their house, now from ours.

There is more to this than meets the eye. It's all built in to the neo-Nazi, fascist persona. This hypermasculine conditioning technique is part of the radicalization of young men into their far-right crusade. It no different from Hitler's methods. This propaganda is getting fed to young men from all over the far right. The Christo-Fascists are conditioning their women to believe this shit too. There is deep, dark evil behind this hypermasculine garbage, and Hawley knows exactly what he is doing. This is not a coincidence. Hitler used it as part of his war in Europe, the fascists here are using the same strategy in their own civil war. Same hate, different decade, but the outcome and consequences will be the same.

The "New German Man": Masculinity in Nazi Germany [LMU]

"Creating a hyper-masculine national image was crucial to the identity of the highly militaristic Nazi state because masculinity was typically associated with strength and might."

"Their hyper-masculine militant image was the foundation upon which the Nazis defined and cultivated manhood and was the impetus and inspiration for atrocities against Jews, homosexuals and other “undesirable” groups. It fed the notion of Aryan superiority and undergirded the desire to go to war and conquer Europe."

"Hyper-masculinity played a vital role in shaping the Third Reich and Nazi ideological beliefs. It performed an important function in mobilizing the German population for war by creating a sense of purpose through militant comradery. Coupled with ideals of racial superiority and Hitler's quest for power and the elimination of so-called inferior peoples, Nazi masculinity helped perpetuate one of the largest genocides in human history, from which the world is still recovering."

It's also a replay of America in the 1950s. During the 1940s, when American men were conscripted into military service, women stepped up to fill many of the societal roles traditionally occupied by men were now available to women. Those women had jobs. They had independent incomes. Prior to this period, women were expected to leave the work force when they married and devote their lives to homemaking and child-rearing.

When the war ended, there was a concerted campaign to return to the pre-war family structure. While television was showing us the "Ozzie & Harriet" and "Leave It To Beaver" happy family, the reality was that many of the men of the period returned from war with undiagnosed PTSD. Those of us who were around during that period from the 1950s-1970s remember what that model of "masculinity" looked like. Too often, it resulted in alcoholic fathers who were emotionally unavailable, wives who were addicted to tranquilizers for their "hysteria" and, later, a rebellion by their children against the system during the Vietnam war era.

Those post war years also really sucked if you were gay. While the McCarthy hearings on Anti-American Activities are presented as being anti-Communism campaigns, they were heavily focused on getting rid of "pansies" and "lavender women" in government. Gay menweren't masculine and lesbians weren't feminine, so that had to be corrected too. Companies hired private detectives to collect license plate numbers in gay bar parking lots and that was enough for an employer to fire employees.

What did people think that "Make America Great Again" meant? White Christian Nationalists are all too happy to get on the MAGA bandwagon because they, too, want to return to that idyllic period when men were men, women weren't equal, children were seen not heard and homosexuals were criminals.

As several members here have observed, Trump has no personal interest in Christianity. He is completely transactional and will give White Christian Nationalists whatever they want in exchange for votes. He is doing exactly what Putin, Erdoğan, Orban and others are doing by co-opting religion to stay in power.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the Missouri Senate race. Hawley started the summer polling >10% higher than Kunce. That lead is narrowing. The Post-Dispatch editorial calling Hawley "quite possibly the worst sitting senator in America right now" may weaken Hawley even more. The dispatch is reminding Missouri voters that ubermench-wannabe Hawley was part of the 2021 insurrection saying "one member stands apart for his singular role in spurring the violence that day: Sen. Josh Hawley." And that video of Hawley sprinting like a spooked gazelle on Jan 6th deserves a lot of replay.

I have a "Lucas Kunce for Senate" sign in my front yard. Every single TV ad from Josh Hawley is a blatant, outrageous, hateful lie. He's now trying to pretend how supportive he is and how much he will protect Social Security for seniors, but Lucas Kunce wants to bankrupt Social Security by giving all the money to illegal aliens. That's a total lie, but the rural Missouri hoosiers eat this shit up. I am not hopeful. The voters in the cities have to come through. The Post-Dispatch is only in St. Louis, and I don't think it's going to move the needle.

Let me guess... something along the lines of "Lucas Kunce is for children who have had state-funded sex change operations to play sports with drag queens and transsexuals in women's bathrooms"?

Yep.....all of that. And Kunce wants to take away everyone's pickup truck. And comparing immigrants to a sick graphic of creeping black mold infecting the country.

Wow the exact same thing as Brown in Ohio. He alone is responsible for the border crisis and killing born babies.

 

[rareboy]

Wow.

US politics really is a dumpster fire at this point.

Very few conservatives exist anymore. They're all fascists and Nazis - the whole republican party, and yes, all of those voters too, are fucking Nazis, Nazi supporters, Nazi sympathizers.
If you don't stand up against them, if you vote for a candidate who stands for Nazi fascist policies, then you are a Nazi. Period!
