    My job moved me to the south 40 years ago.

    Trust me, they are okay with a whole lot more than just pedophilia.

    Lynching, rape, murder, overthrowing the constitution and creating a Protestant theocracy…

    As long as straight white protestants aren’t the victims, they will tolerate every evil mankind has ever created.

      Whenever someone claims that rural white people are voting against their own interests, I have to correct them. They are voting for their own interests, you just don’t understand what their interests are.

      Their primary concern is cultural supremacy. Namely white, straight, Christian culture. That’s what they vote for.

        its nos surprise that gop isnt getting rid of medicaid/care in those states, the Rs would riot immediately. i know they rail on about medicaid expansion anywhere else. whats the number 1 or 2 medical condition in poorer areas, obesity, and diabetes type 2+ associated comorbidities. and those medications add up in costs. thats why weight loss surgery for obese people makes bank there.

      As long as straight, white, wealthy Protestant men aren’t the victims. They see suffering while poor to be their own fault, and original sin fallacy means women must also endure because god has to punish them for being born female. It’s honestly kind of terrifying to see.

        It’s even more terrifying when you find out how poor the majority of the ones that vote for this are. People that barely even pay taxes, or get a net refund, still keeping tax cuts from landing on the grifters that keep them poor.

          thats why alot of red states are LCOL, nobody wants to live in those areas. and the income is so skewed there to, it may look like alot of Rs are middle class in that state, but they are actually very low income in most states.

      republicans are simple minded, they regurgitate what faux told them previously. all the right wing sources dont talk about epstein for a reason.

          I genuinely don’t know how you can listen to that without exploding with rage. Being around people like that make me boil.

          I had to spend a few days at some conservative family’s house, and they had Fox News on a lot and said a bunch of dumb shit. Probably took at least a year off of my life.

            It is rage inducing for sure and we have had many arguments over politics to the point where we have paused our friendship several times…there are moments of clarity sprinkled in but yah, the friendship has not been the same since trump jacked up the brains of fox news listeners.

    Because they’re pedophiles too, that’s why kid rock’s music is popular and neugent too. They deny it but most of them are abusers.

      The guy in the video rips the bell and chain off the wall and absolutely thrashes the door with the chain.

      Penguinz0 video of what happened. Chain rip at 7:30 mark, but the whole video covers it well.

        And it’s funny as fuck. It’s just amazing all around. The guy calmly dealing with him, and then the dude himself oh lord. One of the moments of all time for sure.
