They're about as fetishized as cuckolding is in right wing circles. The way those dorks toss that term around tells me enough to know that a lot of them are harboring a deep-seated desire to watch some dude rail their wives like they never could.
This is what the democratic party has to learn. Your sister is a sizable representation of the electorate. They have no goddamn idea how anything works. They voted purely based on vibes. You have to capture the terminally unengaged and uninformed voters if you want to be able to stay in power.
Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.
You've put a tourniquet on the wound. You won't bleed to death. Now you have to face the grim work of amputating the infected limb.
Use this time to marginalize conservative influence in any way you can. Obstruct every single thing they attempt to do. Keep attacking and never stop. Drive them into the margins of society where they belong. Do not give them a single inch (or centimeter, if you will.)
What is happening in the US should serve as a cautionary tale of what happens when the disease that is conservative culture goes unchecked. You have the advantage. Go on the attack and don't stop until they stay down.
A solid majority of the 2nd amendment crowd will immediately ask what they can do to lick the boot harder. Those motherfuckers love jackbooted authoritarianism as long as it's aimed at the right minorities.
I grew up in these toxic conservative cultures. It became very clear to me at a young age that there was something deeply wrong with them. I've heard exactly what they talk about when they only think that the people in their fucked up tribes are listening.
These aren't potential allies to reach out to. They are enemies to overcome.
Any democratic candidate preaching "forgiveness and healing" needs to be primaried. We need representatives who are willing to absolutely curb-stomp the fuck out a party that is effectively an occupying enemy force.
These are not people to "reach out" to. They are enemies to overcome.
Even if the boarding directors fired Musk and did everything they could to disentangle his diseased legacy from the company, Teslas would still be overpriced shitboxes with serious quality control issues.
Congrats on taking care of your garbage.
