The mental gymnastics with which they support the pdfile is down right Acrobatic.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 5 points 17 hours ago

They also fantasize about strangers (often Black men) having sex with their wives, as if they saw women as property.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Cause it wasn't "their" daughters. Remember, those same guys would fuck any other man's daughter and expect it to be okay. They lack the mental skills to understand another person's perspective.

And then Trump will call him a loser anyway.

Tangentially related, it bothers me people say things like "I have a daughter so I get why it's upsetting" or whatever. It implies they wouldn't be able to empathize if they didn't have one. I know that's not necessarily always the intention, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

[–] notacat@infosec.pub 9 points 1 day ago

Conservatives tend to score lower on empathy and have a more in-group/out-group mentality. So it is common for people to not think about different perspectives until they are personally affected. My favorite example of this is some article I read where a researcher ran small group surveys and asked people’s thoughts on trans people, and some of the responses were super specific like “trans people wear a lot of green,” or “trans people like bread.” And it was due to Jan from accounting or whatever being the only trans person they knew. So a single encounter shifts their whole perception and biases. There are a lot of people who grow up surrounded by people like them and have never had the need to see things from someone else’s perspective who is different from them.

I was more going for the split personalities concept. The same person can say they will kill you if you touch their daughter, but then sit down with their buddies and a beer and relive how heroic they were that one time with mary joe when they got caught and her father peppered the tailgate of his truck as he sped away. Pretty sure there are popular songs about the later. So it's okay if they do it, but not if someone does it to them and theirs.

These same men also have a fantasy of picking up their gun and help their fellow American in a hostage or terrorist situation, but during covid, when they had an opportunity to help their fellow Americans by putting a fucking piece of cloth on their face, they refused.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

They dream of saving the world but refuse to wash the dishes.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's as if "helping their neighbor" was just an excuse in order to not sound self centered.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I feel like their version of "helping" was mostly "shooting people different than us."

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Hi, dad here. I think you're confusing two different groups of people.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 18 hours ago

From his handle, I'm going to tentatively suggest this is satire? Please can this be satire?

Otherwise his kids need new parents.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Pointing out that there is a strong overlap in the two groups does not exclude understanding that there are plenty of people in just one of the groups

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Hi, hungry here. I think you're underestimating the overlap on that Venn diagram.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

MAGATS uphold rape culture but this dude is a hero and I for one would vote for him to be president and drain the swamp in 2028.

[–] horse@feddit.org 15 points 1 day ago (14 children)

Not to defend pedos, but prison violence is not a good thing, even if in some cases it ends up affecting the "right" people.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

My point exactly because this dude doesn’t belong in prison. He’s not a danger to society

You aren't imprisoning pedos your increasing the kill count of Caesar Augustus.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

I don’t see a problem here.

Most MAGA men are cowards. Buy a dozen guns, make threats, but when push comes to shove...they stay in their chair and flip on right wing media. They are nothing.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 16 hours ago

Most MAGA men are cowards.

Like almost all men, and women, including myself. The elite couldn't do what they do if people would stand up for their rights and for a just society.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 17 hours ago

They would chuckle if Trump admitted to having sex with teenagers and nod along if he said that everybody wants to do it.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 72 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They are all weak men putting on a show of what they think a strong man is.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

Just following Dear Leader.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Look at all the men driving big, loud trucks who don't need a vehicle like that. It's all projection

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 83 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Because to them it’s only an issue if it affects them personally. If it’s someone else’s kids, they don’t care.

Most conservative double-think like this boils down to a lack of empathy.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 33 points 2 days ago

To expand on "it's only an issue when it happens to them", having been raised in a very conservative environment I was told that bad things happened to bad people, and that if something happened to a "good" person, there was probably something we just didn't know about. That thinking offers a false sense of security because as long as you're not a bad person, bad things can't happen to you.

It usually takes something bad actually happening to you to break the illusion and get someone to actually start questioning their world, which is hard work. Life is so much easier to live with your head in the sand.

Their fantasy is not about justice for women but justice for their stuff being taken. Raping someone else's kids does not invoke the same emotion, in fact they might be cheering it if the kids in question are from a different social group.

[–] PolarPirate@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't think this is the general consensus at all. The whole Epstein thing really ripped the MAGA tribe in half. There's a lot of people over there that are upset about it.

These MAGA dudes would also rape someone else’s daughter so it’s relatable to them

[–] marighost@piefed.social 28 points 2 days ago

These same men would think it an honor for Trump to rape their daughters.

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The reason seems rather to be that these people are deliberately and very demonstratively protecting their own underage daughter because they are fully aware of what their "conservative" peers have in mind for her.

[–] h4x0r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

It's not because they care about the act, they just see their daughters as property and don't want their chattel 'defiled', with exceptions for personal use.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

✅ Don’t have a daughter.
✅ Don’t have a truck.
✅ Didn’t vote for Trump.
