    Surely it can’t be that dumb?

    “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

    Ok, it’s that dumb.

    Doing a great job of not being weird.

      It’s not dumbness, it’s cravenness. He’s saying things he thinks MAGA-bros like to hear. “Yeah brother, high-five! Burn those libs!”

      Also the subtext here is that Jeff Bridges isn’t manly. I don’t think there’s a cure for that level of delusion.

      I was talking with some scientists who told me that a mere touch on the hand from Jeff Bridges not only impregnates a woman, but also transitions her into a man.

      I wake up each morning hairless, then I look into the mirror and speak the name Jeff Bridges three times. Instantly I’m transformed into a kind of human carpet covered from head to toe in three whole feet of man fur.

      (It’s bullshit anyway, my entire congressional delegation was women I voted for at one point, and I still had to get hrt)

      That was basically my reaction reading this. I was like “okay, I’m not posting this one, it’s obviously exaggerated… actually, it’s not exaggerated at all”

    …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.

    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.

        Not all con states want to secede from the union, but then again they’re not islands, so that one’s hard to gauge.

        Also, most con politicians here were very invested in remaining in Europe right up until we weren’t. The promise of a referendum was a hail Mary to try to win the votes of a particular contingent of voters. They got the votes, but never expected the referendum to go the way it did. Leopard, meet face.

        Now they’re having to pretend it was the intention all along. Make the best of it, etc.

        There’s also an argument to be made that her stance on climate change was entirely because of the desire to hurt the workers of the fossil fuel industry, especially one in particular, which outweighed all other priorities.

        The Israel thing I don’t know too much about, but I can be virtually certain it wasn’t about protecting the people of Lebanon from a bully.

      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.

      That’s the little first domino in the meme, at least. Then it works up to something like allowing homosexuals to exist, and suffering the presence of their supporters for that matter, also makes you a homosexual.
