It's the "There's only 2 pronouns, male and female" crowd.

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 15 hours ago

anyone who thinks that "There’s only 2 pronouns, male and female" should go fuck themself, or better, go educate themself

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

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.

Isn't trying to change people's attitudes (Wikipedia) notoriously difficult?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Broadly maybe, but we're talking about a specific demographic of people who have been studied to be more reactionary, more emotional, less educated and less informed broadly. These are people who run off narratives supplied to them to explain their feelings, and there is only one group who are supplying these narratives directly to them about why they're unhappy.

The left and liberals have both been hung up on civility and honesty to a fault, almost as if setting up every engagement to fail, because we've known for decades and decades that you're not going to change Cletus's attitude towards immigrants with statistics and facts, he already feels awful, scared, overworked and insecure, if you try to explain to him that he's also wrong about his feelings, you're going to hit a wall and make him double-down. If you try to make him feel empathy for others especially people who are very different from Cletus, you will only make yourself a living personification of the picture of the "enemy" which they've been given.

Meanwhile, if instead of arguing you redirect their dissatisfaction towards the right targets, you won't have to change their feelings towards minorities or women or whatever, if you point them at the billionaire class who are actually stripping away their benefits and raising their taxes, they will stop caring about race and gender and identity politics. You can channel that rage at specific targets instead of trying to constantly tell a huge segment of the population that they're wrong and dumb. (Despite them being factually wrong and dumb. Again, just telling dumb people they're dumb won't change them, it will only make them worse.)

This outcome, of the left pushing the dumb towards corporations and billionaires is exactly what the actual ruling class fears so much and why they depend so, so much on creating as much division as possible, and why we now have bots arguing on social media and adopting the most radical positions of both sides of every issue.

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.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

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.

"Drag is inappropriate because it doesn't give me a boner while I'm out with my kids!"

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

"Fortunately my kids are there so I'm ok for something to fantasise about."

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 68 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Seems like the type to bring his kids to eat at hooters.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

His kids will work at hooters.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey man. The big Hootie burger is good. Sometimes a man just wants a big Hootie.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] coolman@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Damn I'm sorry but that entire family looks inbred as fuck

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Why sorry? Iys not like it's your fault

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish they wouldn't breed.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 7 points 22 hours ago

And yet, they breed like they get paid in meth to produce the weirdest looking smooth brains out there.

[–] Ryoae@piefed.social 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wife is probably one of them hoes with their backs turned eh

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the wife and the mistress.

[–] GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

I would have guessed eldest daughter, but given the PDF-file proclivities of the right, Daughter and Mistress probably amounts to the same thing.

[–] Ryoae@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I doubt it. Even they would be too out of league for that guy, not without manipulation.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Why are we ruling out manipulation?

[–] aeration1217@lemmy.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

even maga cheeks are inferior;;

I can smell that picture, it ain't smell good

[–] sefra1@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe they aren't even maga at all, are just being paid.

[–] aeration1217@lemmy.org 8 points 1 day ago

If you're being paid to support maga, you're supporting maga regardless of being ice or eye candy etc /tedtalk

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Every accusation from MAGAts is an admission.

[–] babyfarmer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

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.

Don't you know the patriotism theme overcomes their need to control female presentation?
