Bunch of fuckin weirdos

Who thinks like this? And why? Tbh I don’t really care why

[–] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They can’t get trans people out of their minds, they’re obsessed. It’s very weird, and pretty creepy how much time and energy they spend thinking about trans people’s lives.

[–] captain_oni@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Imagine meeting someone and one of the 1st things that come to your mind is "I wonder how their genitals look like"

Bunch of weirdos.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

They spend more time thinking about trans people than actual trans people do. They can't get enough.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 54 points 3 months ago

Oh it's that easy? No hormone therapy, no surgeries, just vote once. Glad to see Fox news being pro-trans

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 53 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Even the media that is supporting the 'right' is being weird

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not suprising for murdoch owned media

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Does that work the other way around too? Does that mean all the women voting for Trump are turning into men? What are the scientists saying?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sounds better than turning into whatever Trump is

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Eric Cartman

[–] thisisdee@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does that mean they chose to be gay?

All this shit does is prove how fucking stupid Republican voters are. These clowns wouldn’t say this shit if they knew it wouldn’t work. And the dumber the shit is. The more it reveals the stupidity.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

And the dumber the shit is. The more it works.

Ftfy

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

thinks

You call that "thinking"? There is no "thinking". Doesn't matter what these shitheads pump out, it's a mental sewage circlejerk that changes every two minutes, reality is meaningless, trying to keep track and "correcting" them is truly a soul-sucking fool's errand, meant to keep the "correctors" always reacting, never on the initiative.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

See.

Now this is oniony enough to make grown men cry.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got some work to do in my bombshelter.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I…I don’t know if I’m supposed to laugh at you for having a bomb shelter

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I mean, it was mostly a joke.

I wish I had a bomb shelter, though. The way the world is going… it’d be nice to just hide for a decade or two,

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

That's the weirdest take I've heard in a long ass time. WEIRD!

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can we all just agree that Fox News is staffed predominantly by super weird people?

[–] captain_oni@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

And creepy ones.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I try to imagine the mental gymnastics to come to that conclusion... but no.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Well I have voted for several women, only thing I noticed is my hair is to my ass... oh wait its been that long since before i could vote, nvm

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

This is a really weird take.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How many Republican women are running for office currently? Seems like a relevant question.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

all those poor Republican men in Oklahoma, I guess they don't have any balls anymore ?

[–] LunchMoneyThief@links.hackliberty.org 18 points 3 months ago (21 children)

If your cast vote is influenced at all by a candidate's physical attributes (such as gender), you're doing it wrong.

"Why do we need XYZ candidate in?" "Well, because he looks like meeee!"

If only it was that simple... :(

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

See, where I'm from, Jessie is an old lady's name

He might be on to something

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Where I'm from Jessie is a friend, yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 13 points 3 months ago

This clown goes on teevee to explain how homesless is a choice to boomers...

Regime whore

[–] ShortFuse@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

So, don't vote for Boebert or MTG. Got it.

[–] ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Idk sounds like projecting to me

[–] s_s@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

How much makeup was he wearing when he said this?

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

This is why I prefer my Waters John or pirates of dark.

[–] InAbsentia@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Mr. Twatters seems like a poster child for post-covid brain fog.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Didn't men vote for Hillary ?

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 3 months ago

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Crossing my fingers.

Let's go Harris!
