This guy has been venomous looney tunes for a long time. I think he only speaks to bro ears and bigots.
I'm running out of patience with this poison. It won't end after the election. They'll just keep doing it. There is no reasoning with them. There is no educating them. It's endless. Utterly unending. I'm really not sure how much more of it I can take.
I watched the video of this and it was painful how they discussed "the scientists said that?" and then all agreed in unison. it feels like they're in an echo chamber
When you are too nuts for Jeanine Pirro you are too nuts
Oh, it depends who you're nuts against. I bet it's much easier to piss her off with rhetoric that targets what she considers to be her achievements specifically.
Dude needs to look into who Margaret Thatcher was and her politics. See how much that gums up his brain gears, because, even outside the fact she was a woman, she was a conservative's ultimate fantasy.
To give three things off the top of my head that might make modern Cons sour on her: She accepted the science on climate change, wanted the UK in the EU, and ceased arms sales to Israel in 1982 due to the invasion of Lebanon.
She's not culture wars enough for them, even if she was economically ruinous, just as they desire.
What they really want is a Thatcher Mechagodzilla who spouts all the culture wars lines they want, has huge stomping feet that kill poor people, and fires detransitioning lasers from its eyes. It can also be AI powered and take away the need for any thinking or education at all.

The pundit was making fun of a record-breaking "White Dudes for Harris" fundraising call on Tuesday’s episode of The Five when he questioned why “any man would vote Democrat,” claiming that it would have to be because of “mommy issues.”
“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
I was thinking that that last line could be a joke, but I would need to hear the delivery. You never know
I wouldn't call nonsensical vitrol a joke exactly, even though the socially accepted response to it is often laughter. It's not funny, they're just trying to successfully out-group with each other. Ape brain stuff. Smiles and laughter saying "yes we are in the same in-group."
Wow, those people are indeed weird.
"thinks"
I can guarantee that he doesn't believe that
That dude looks like a caricature.
Like you guys live in Panem or something.
...Says the guy who appears on TV wearing makeup, with sculpted hair, and with manicured nails. Whatever dude.
To be clear: I don't think there's anything wrong with guys having any of the things I just mentioned. Not my personal thing, but if you are a guy who likes them then more power to you. But according to Fox News, none of those things are 'manly'. So the hypocrisy of this clown is palpable.
Okay, now THAT IS WEIRD. Are Republicans the GOAT of weird, or what?
Wonder what he thinks of men who choose to play female characters in games? That must be some kind of SUPER transition!
Very similar to the mindset of: if you don't drive a pickup truck you are a homosexual
