    This is like in star wars when good people turn towards the dark side and their appearence turns into monsters.

    Not for Anakin though, he is special and needs to look good to sell tickets.

    They were ok, can’t say they were supermodels but looked ok, however their transformation into a skinsuit is horrifying.

    The devolvement into MAGA degeneracy is so obvious

    You can see them turn ugly, just like their ugly politics

      My partner recently started watching her videos and I saw this one. 100% accurate. She’s incredibly self-reflective and really hits a lot of things as they really are. Genuine brilliance wasted by both the Mormons and MAGA because of misogyny.

      I grew up in what is now deep red Trump flag territory, and the District 1/12 level of “we’re the hyper-visual freaks focused on image and money, now send me donations, you filthy MAGA monkey!” is severe. Those people rarely see how genuinely grotesque many of these freaks are because it’s all podcasts and talk radio and Fox News, which blunts the extreme elements. Noem and Levitt might be the only two the average person would know, and they’ve only known their mutilated faces, not their real faces.

      If you went to a Wal-Mart in any rural town with a game called “ID the MAGA Star!” and gave $100 to anyone able to correctly identify the names of all 6 pre-multination faces, and take $1 per guess, you could go there with no cash on you and leave loaded. I would bet that you’d get lots of totally unironic pushback that Loomer is trans.

      I swear, even the porn industry seems less misogynistic than MAGA when it comes to pressure to change your body.

    A big thank you to the moderators of this community for the work you do.

    I say this because, even not having read the contents of this thread yet, I know that there will have been plenty of instances where discussions get a bit too… spicy, potentially requiring moderator action. Enforcing the boundaries of civility is a tricky and often thankless task, but an important one. People are angry, and justifiably so. This makes it easy for threads to degrade into toxic chaos, so thanks for trying your best to stop or slow the decline of this thread.

    The mask used in Halloween for the Michael Myers character was the face of William Shatner (Shatner apparently didn’t know for many years). They made it creepier by bleaching it or painting it or whatever.

    Future Halloween movies, or some competing franchise, can use masks of these people. No modifications needed. In fact, maybe let’s tone it down because we want to make a scary movie, not traumatize everyone.

      The one in the upper left already looks like one of the masks from the Purge movie. Down to the plasticky shine.

    Top left, bottom left, bottom right, middle right. They look like they’re wearing someone else’s face. It’s the dead eyes and the area around the jaws that really screams “It put the lotion on the skin.” Top left, the after, I swear I’ve seen that exact look/expression in a horror video game, I just can’t place it.

    Why not treat it like a regular F2M or M2F transition? Couldn’t it be that these are genuine expressions of who they are?

      While I get wanting to make that argument the overwhelming presence of it within the MAGA grouping to me seems to indicate something else. To me it looks like something akin to ritual scarification, foot binding, or skull elongation wherein it’s a social beauty standard being spread amongst a group even if those within the group don’t care or even dislike.
