I don't get it. Is this person not transgender or something?

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 72 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, he’s a cisgender heterosexual male - but he just so happens to have progressive political views, and that absolutely frightens the right-wing nutjobs.

He's also specifically running as a Christian who opposes Christian Nationalism which is the most terrifying thing about him to the GOP. They know full well that being able to use the Christian label is the only thing they need for low information voters to vote for them, especially in the South. If they lose the stranglehold they have on that label they are well and truly fucked.

hes also a christian too, but that doesnt matter for magats, becauses not thier brand of "christianity"

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's not.

He's also not vegan, but that's another accusation his opposition is using. Because I guess there's nothing Texans hate more than (checks notes) ... tofu?

To them, it's supposed to be "emasculating" (a concept that only makes sense if you think being a man is a fragile state that is conditional on behaviour, and can be revoked by other people but not by the very individual).

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

They'd call him the F-word, but even MAGAs know you can't say that anymore.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

All he would have to say is "I'm not. I just really fucking love beans" and a photo of him in a canned beans meme and all the young voters would vote for him.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

He actually came out and said that as an 8th generation Texan, he LOVES Barbecue. He should do a campaign ad where he chows down on some sloppy ribs, and make those MAGAs wonder about what else their leaders are lying about.

I was already planning on voting for him, but if he did the "Baked Beans" sketch from WKUK, I'd have to vote for him even harder

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

hes not, thats why they call him a vegan, as a deragatory name, eventhough isnt that either.

I'm always astounded by their lack of creativity. Same with right wing comics. They lack every bit of talent and or creativity. I never saw a right wing comedian or comic where i thought: i don't disagree, but that shit is funny. I understand that that's not only right wingers, there's leftist stonetoss artists as well, and a lot of people here love them to death, but you'd think there is someone hateful that also has some talent. Same with Donald, he can say whatever, whenever, he clearly doesn't care and it doesn't matter, but all he comes up with is sleepy joe, his wife looks like a dog, he she is fat and whatnot.

they call whatever shit sticks with conservatives smoothbrains. they think vegan is a "n-word" some reason. it also revolves around be hypermasculine/toxic masculinity too. vegans/vegeterians are often women in general.

trump uses the tactic like russia, call sanewashing. hypernormalizing, if they say it enough time, the braindead support things its normal and not an issue. in trumps case he uses this as a distraction from other thing he distracting from.

One time a woman on tinder asked me what i'm doing. I told her that i'm having a salad. And she was like: what? Like a woman. That shit confuses me to this day.
