“Trump and Putin are gay lovers also Trump is a bad guy because he’s got psychological issues!”

Gee I wonder why the left is abandoning the ‘lesser of two evils’ parties when libs make it clear that they equate vulnerable people with vile ghouls like Musk or Trump

    The reason that they have to make fun of their physical appearance is because if they look to closely at the policies, they realize that the Democrats are normally doing almost the exact same things.

        Socialists, and I guess if you count Chapo as socialists (I don’t, but I guess we can for the sake of argument) shouldn’t do it either. They do it to be edge-lords.

        That said, there is usually an extremely distinct difference between when I hear socialists talk about Republican elected officials and when partisian Democrats. Partisian Democrats almost exclusively focus on physical appearance and habits for the purposes of virtue signalling, but rarely focus on what their actual policies are.

        Trump I will hear all about has small hands, but never that he is a warmonger.

            Lol as soon as I posted, I realized as soon as I said it that you meant the Chapo guys. I don’t usually consider them part of the socialist left, just part of the general radlib commentiariat (as they never really advocate specifically for socialism) but you have a point.

            At least they mostly focus on actual policies, but yeah the body shaming is abit much.
