One thing I’ve noticed happens a lot is that, in trying to demonize them as socialist boogeymen, conservatives often make Democrats seem way cooler than they actually are.
By the way, if you want to mix it up, here’s a similar meme you could comment:
weird intensifies
Just wait… people are contacting me now asking me to post Rikers on articles I missed.
The fascinating thing about this is that, in context… it’s still fucking weird, but for different reasons.
He’s technically joking about how it makes you transition, saying it’s a claim he heard from “scientists.” So he wants to call men women as a misogynistic insult, but also to poke fun at the concept of scientific study. It’s wrong to distinguish between gender and sex as part of evidence-based medicine and basic conscientiousness. It’s cool and good if you’re doing it to be a dick, though. He’s got to police gender roles, but also insist that they are completely immutable based on your sex.
What a creepy weirdo.
I voted for a woman once. I grew a fantastic pair of tits before I’d even left the voting station.
But don’t worry, vote for a man next time and you grow your testicles back again.
I do miss those tits though.
I like to even it out and vote for men and women so I get tits and balls
So you have tits and testicles now? How woke of you. Great work.
Hermaphrodites for Harris!!
I watched the video of this and it was painful how they discussed “the scientists said that?” and then all agreed in unison. it feels like they’re in an echo chamber
That dude looks like a caricature.
Like you guys live in Panem or something.
What the fuck?
Okay, now THAT IS WEIRD. Are Republicans the GOAT of weird, or what?
The scientists said it so it must be true
“I don’t care if you take hormones or get surgery you’ll never be a woman”
“If you vote for a woman you are one now” 🫠 my god they’re all so pathetic
I didn’t know I was trans (from voting for Gretchen Whitmer) but I really don’t want to go to the SoS to have the gender on my license changed. I suppose while I’m at it I’ll go ahead and become black, since that’s apparently a thing we can do now, and I’m not making two fucking trips.
Oh, good idea, you can get one of those “black jobs” dementia Donald keeps talking about. He is much too old to be president, yikes.
I’m not sure of how MAGA rules work, but I think you can only become black if you have an Indian mother, because Obama has a white mother but he didn’t become black.
you can only become black if you have an Indian mother
No but I am half-Hispanic on my housekeeper’s side.
I feel like that’s a quote from something but I couldn’t find any reference so maybe I just made it up.
if only it was this easy 😔
Do it. Become women. Bring your cat and join the coven of our eternal sisterhood!
I’d rather identify as a woman than whatever he thinks a man is.
Well it’s obvious, a man is someone who votes for a male.
It’s why there is not one female Trump supporter.
Any woman who supports trump is a man.
That would explain ton about the governor of Arkansas.
I was promised broomstick flights
Oh broomsticks are outdated. Try barbells!
But I already have a child and I’m allergic to cats!
(I’ll take the risk and vote for Harris anyway though.)
Toads are fin too. I don’t see how having a child is an issue either.
Can’t be a childless cat lady if I have a kid and don’t have any cats.
I have two dogs though.
You don’t have to be childless to be a witch. In truth, you don’t even have to be a woman to be a witch.
Very true.
Ok. So don’t vote for Majorie Tyalor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Joni Earnst, Marcia Blackburn, Kay Ivey, Kristi Noem… I can literally keep going for a very long time.
The pundit was making fun of a record-breaking “White Dudes for Harris” fundraising call on Tuesday’s episode of The Five when he questioned why “any man would vote Democrat,” claiming that it would have to be because of “mommy issues.”
“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
I was thinking that that last line could be a joke, but I would need to hear the delivery. You never know
I wouldn’t call nonsensical vitrol a joke exactly, even though the socially accepted response to it is often laughter. It’s not funny, they’re just trying to successfully out-group with each other. Ape brain stuff. Smiles and laughter saying “yes we are in the same in-group.”
Wonder what he thinks of men who choose to play female characters in games? That must be some kind of SUPER transition!
It seems like a stupid statement that deserves to be made fun of, which it is, but it’s also indicative of one of the dark parts of the conservative mindset. There’s the bigotry of course, but there’s another layer on top of that. It’s like, since you are obviously one of the good true Americans (a straight white male, naturally), it is beneath you to submit to being ruled by one of those “others.”
Submission to a weak inferior sub-human leader is a weak and cowardly act. It is also an insult to your fellow nobles, so you are betraying yourself and “your people” by voting for somebody who is clearly not the right type of person.
Repeat and reinforce this shit over years and decades, make it part of your group identity, and you get things like “better a Russian/felon than a Democrat” (because democrats love being cucks for “diverse” people obviously) and a deep-seated visceral reaction to somebody who is an other in so many ways. A woman AND multiple nonwhite races, oh my!
