    I see posts like this and wonder if I’m looking at an outlier, or if this is genuinely 80% of their voter base

      If you look at polls there is like 33% of the population who will support Trump no matter what. Of those, about half are relatively normal people who are just kind of stupid and from areas where conservatism is the norm and would support everything literally anyone did if they were Republicans. The other half are these people.

      The MAGA base is almost entirely people who are so reactionary to their own feelings that they will never, ever listen to arguments from places of reason like the joke in the meme OP posted.

      “If it makes me feel good, it’s good. If it makes me feel bad, it’s bad.” - American conservatives broadly.

      What they don’t get, and will never understand, is that the narratives for how they feel are being supplied to them from outside sources. A tactic that only grifters on the right seem to have the balls to employ, despite it being the easiest thing in the world to change how these clowns feel and thus what direction they’re pointed at.

      80% of their voter base has a brother or cousin like this, and they’ll be the ones ostracized if they don’t condone it. Infinite forgiveness for family and bloodline.

    My personal conspiracy theory is there’s a social media wide psyop focused on reducing popular critique of the right into easily dismissed personal insults.

    I sure am glad the women’s beauty standard police have joined the liberal cause. Also, make sure to direct some hate at the kids. They surely have all kinds of agency in where they’re going, what they’re doing, and a wealth of knowledge about modern politics

    Those poor girls.

    You know they’ll be indoctrinated and taught to obey and comply with anything the men want

    Seriously, being a Republican should be enough reason for CPS to pay you a visit

      What you’re seeing and confusing for family fuckin, I believe is actually Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Skinny necks, funny shaped heads, narrow shoulders, mom couldn’t quit the hooch.

    I’m almost positive this is on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, and this asshole looks exactly like the piece of shit that would bring his 6 kids on a “family vacation” to Vegas. Last time I was there, Fremont Street had really gone downhill.

      Hey - some of their food is alright, and the service has generally been excellent any time I’ve eaten there. As long as those 2 things remain true, I don’t really care how they dress.

        Since I’ve not set foot in a Hooters in close to 25 years, I had to look up their menu just to be sure.

    Man I’d hate to be that guy who’d have to pay child support in a divorce settlement. Wonder where the wife is? Oh, if we’re going to assume this guy’s beliefs, probably back home in the kitchen “where she belongs” while the father is the one carting everyone around.

    Bag on it all you want, but that man has 6 kids which is probably 6 more than most adults on this site. As long as he isn’t a complete scumbag he will likely he will pass most of his views and questionable morals to his kids.

    Normally you have a chance to deprogram these kids through higher education but Republicans have recognized this and are trying their hardest to sabotage higher Ed.

      You’re not wrong. Stupid people are outbreeding smart people by orders of magnitude. Nobody wants to talk about it though because there is no socially acceptable “nice” way to deal with it. Bolstering education is about the best we can hope for but clearly that isn’t going well.

        Intelligence is not a transferable trait, unlike physical traits. There’s no guarantee that these kids won’t educate themselves and surpass their parents in intellectual capabilities. All we need is indeed better public education.

          There’s no guarantee of anything in life. You can say that, statistically speaking, intelligent parents raise intelligent children though. The inverse is often true as well.

        there’s something to that, but we shouldn’t go to Idiocracy, funny movie, but still eugenic rethoric.

        globally intelligence is rising, is based on education and child quality of life, that’s why America is doing all it can to gut education and promote child misery.

    Those flag bearers might as well call themselves the crepes because that is some serious lack of cake.
