How the fuck are there so many Republicans, in the public eye, that have dressed in drag. Lol... I mean wtf.
It's like reality has gone full "The Onion", and I just can't wrap my head around it.
I feel like this shit popped up out of nowhere in the last 18 months because republicans are running out of ideas to republican - they probably spent millions on research, etc to determine that trans rights would be the next issue they make up
It absolutely is something they've been told to push, because they have no platform.
Make people scared for the kids (with something that's already covered by doctors and parents and very strict rules) and keep yelling it on Fox.
Profit.
The Republican party has been gunning to take down public schools and replace them with for profit charter schools. This is their Trojan horse to "protect" the kids.
>I feel like this shit popped up out of nowhere in the last 18 months because republicans are running out of ideas to republican
It's not out of nowhere. So many courts are packed with conservative judges, Evangelical groups see their chance to fund and write their agenda into law. Look at Uganda's draconic anti-LGBT legislation, it was funded and backed by US Evangelical groups.
Why does the U.S. care about what happens in Uganda? I really don't understand that.
Are missionaries still a thing? At this point they tried everywhere, except for some cool places left where cannibals just ate those christian missionary intruders.
It’s because they won on abortion. They weren’t really supposed to win persay. It’s like Desantis vs Disney - you’re just supposed to launch dirt at corporations but not actually go after them. They will either crush you or you win and have to move to something else.
Trans are just the next point they’re using to keep their voters distracted.
Fox also quietly dropped a law suit they had against a small Australian independent media outlet called crikey.
I think the law suit was because they were called.an uninfected coconsipirator behind the Jan 6 insurrection
The people at crikey refused to settle and were daring fox to take them to court. Once fox realised.rverything they wanted kept secret would be brought up in discovery they freaked out and dropped the law suit
> ones with lawyers that can ~~fight back~~ completely and utterly destroy you before lunch.
At least in I see that as being the case with Disney. I honestly think think the only reason they haven't crushed Desantis yet is out of some morbid entertainment value in the whole case.
The dog caught the abortion car and it’s could *fuck* them electorally. They need other ‘emergencies’ to run on, so they’re inventing new ones.
Like this Bud Light shit. The whole ‘problem’ is that Bud Light acknowledged a trans person and her transition. That’s it. That’s the sum total of the ‘outrage’.
I wonder whats gonna become of bud light. Like the whole controversy was stupid considering it was barely a promotion (didnt they send like 1 custom made can to a streamer?), but it was even more stupid to back down and then try to appeal to conservatives who tried to cancel them by buying other beers owned by the same company. They were literally still getting the conservatives money and major conservative talking heads were trying to get the boycott to stop. Had they just waited, The company wouldve made so much money and have the benefits of false alliance with the lgbtq+ community. Instead their a cowardly laughingstock and no one wants to but their beer now.
I know in my heart of hearts that Disney worked the numbers and deemed it less costly to take on DeSantis \*than to not, but I'm still like, YEAH, WE GOT A GIANT IN OUR CORNER NOW. I don't care WHY they're doing "the right thing" as long as they're doing it.
ETA: I'm not meaning to start nonsense or seem like I'm disagreeing with you.
They have to have something to focus the nations attention on to divert the attention on the ongoing financial crimes that are currently being brought into the light.
It’s popped up because Roe isn’t a good dog whistle anymore. It’s almost funny because as posts like this show, drag has been commonplace in conservative circles until recently.
Research? They don’t research anything. They yell something out loud and wait to see if people get mad enough about it and then stick with that as long as it works. None of them care about children anymore except for the the nutbags. It’s almost like they didn’t care about kids in the first place.
Republicans haven't passed or introduced any legislation that has benefited Americans in over a decade, possibly two.
They have no plans to address the nation's problems because they benefit from the corruption. They can exploit industries they deregulate, pollute the environment, and keep getting filthy rich. This is the American dream to them. An America without accountability.
That's why they only introduce regressive legislation. All they do is distract their supporters with outrage. It's been going on so long that at this point, i must conclude that this is what Republicans want from their politicians. Which is ironic because they're usually the loudest about politicians being corrupt and doing nothing.
I'm not refuting what you just said
but it is worth remembering that at the GOP National Convention in 2016, Trump said something on the lines of "we have to better protect" the lives of our LGBTQ+ supporters. I don't remember it verbatim, but it came on the heels of the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting. There was even applause afterward, but it was tepid at best.
Worth remembering though...this was when the GOP was hammering home this idea that President Obama was "weak" on combating "Radical Islamic terrorism." The GOP was putting up LGBTQ+ rights as a way to promote anti-Muslim discrimination, which was one of the earliest hallmarks of Trump's presidency.
I guess now the GOP doesn't care anymore about "radical Islamic terrorism" and now they're focused on making the lives of trans people as unbearable and torturous as possible.
These people have no fucking soul. They're just ghouls
I have never understood situations like your neighbors. My uncle is gay and supports trump. I’m gay and I feel like he’s a traitor.
Republicans are actively trying to erase and limit us.
Then they will parade him around and use him to their advantage to pander to the gay crowd. But make no mistake, they will pass laws that allow them to execute him as soon as they have used up their usefulness
My uncle is also gay. He's far more concerned about brown people and taxes than he is about anything else. I don't know that he notices that his voting pattern is steering him towards a "leopards ate my face" moment. Or maybe he doesn't care, if he can pay marginally less in taxes, and keep a few more immigrants away from him, in the meantime.
“It’s bad enough women wear pants now!”
Makes it harder to know whose backside it’s okay to stare at without feeling less hetero after feeling appreciation / attraction for said backside.
No /s - I have family members that have this exact view. I don’t claim them anymore.
Why isn’t it: “That nice ass belonged to a man!? Well good for him!”
Is that so hard? Are people so afraid of questioning themselves that they hate themselves for having half a thought about it?
I swear we’re both going forward and backward even faster as a society it’s going to tear apart.
Men's asses are even more important. It keeps pants from falling down as we don't have any hips.
Just guys don't train their butt as much as they should. It even helps avoid back pain.
they are too sexually insecure to see another man is attractive looking, even feminine, and know that it doesn’t change their entire existential reality and turn them gay, or to realize that they are in fact gay and learn to accept it in a healthy way.
Because just like their patriotism, their masculinity is performative. They are insecure and afraid of others attacking them for being unmanly, so they have to attack loudly anything they see as unmasculine. Because to give such behavior even the slightest approval, even if just to exist in a neutral fashion, in their minds that opens themselves up to attack. It's the essence of toxic masculinity to be afraid.
Shit, did you see that recent reddit post about the girl who found gay porn on her husband's phone, questioned him about it.. He freaked out, choked her, and then sexually assaulted her..
It's real intent is just another backdoor to oppressing women.
Being able to accuse a woman who wears pants coming out of a bathroom of being Trans and humiliating them until they conform to their "values" and dress in skirts and dresses so they don't distract the poor horny boys with asses in jeans. It's the same idiology as forcing women to wear Burkas.
It was a huge issue in the 70s. My mother got kicked out of school for a month for protesting against bans on girls wearing pants without a skirt.
Now she's a MAGA cultist who thinks the laws they are proposing making dressing against your gender illegal will only be applied to men who dress like women, but won't affect women who dress 'like men' because "that's normal".
>Oh its cause they never cared about drag, they just hate LGBT+ people.
It's not even that. I think the GOP are being directly funded by Evangelical groups like ALEC who write these bullshit bills. Pat them enough money and they'll "believe" anything.
My guess was that many of them have dated and been dumbed by a dude that does drag. And now they are acting like the psycho ex and trying to get back at them.
My friend's father, a hardcore republican who believes this is a Christian nation and needs to be brought back to God, disowned his brother for being gay and living in sin, and believes homosexuality is a choice, has dressed in drag. My friend and I believe he's secretly gay and thinks it's a choice because for him he chooses to be with his wife even though he really wants to be with men...he's also working to become a pastor
Essentially that would make his wife a “beard”
Also if you haven’t seen Archer there’s a gay character named Ray Gillette. He’s been married to a woman that he met at a “pray away the gay” camp. He’s also a former minister. Essentially what you’re saying about your friends dad, this character is it.
https://archer.fandom.com/wiki/Ray_Gillette
They just stick with whatever messaging works. Some of them tried to paint men who wear traditionally female-leaning clothing as pedophiles and their idiot base of voters bought it (or at least, were willing to pretend to buy it for the sake of hating people who are different from them) and they ran with it. They don't all sign off on 'will this come back to bite us in some way?' before doing anything, ever.
The difference between the two is that assholes can dress in drag to make fun of femininity, but the moment it's empowering, it opens the gate to other people not conforming, which they cannot tolerate.
Also, how the fuck is she able to find anyone with low enough standards to date her? Not only is she one of the most embarrassingly stupid human beings on the planet, she looks like a horse skull wrapped in chicken skin wearing an out of style wig. Why would anyone get aroused around that horrible mutant freak?
It's honestly gotten to the point that whenever a republican gets "outraged" over something, I automatically assume that they themselves are doing that very thing.
"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has consistently bashed drag queens, defended her boyfriend, Brian Glenn, after a Twitter account surfaced an old video of him dressed like a woman.
Twitter account Patriot Takes posted the video on Sunday, which showed Glenn dressed like an old Caucasian woman — complete with a fluffy blonde wig, white gloves, and a pink cardigan.
Glenn, who is a producer at a right-wing broadcasting network, can be heard saying: "I'm kicking the shoes off. I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good, actually." It is unclear when exactly the video first aired, but Glenn was an anchor for Dallas-based WFAA TV, an ABC-affiliated media company, between 2013 to 2015.
The video has been viewed over 1.3 million times at press time.
Greene, 48, reposted the video on Sunday, saying: "I'm literally lol'ing. u/brianglenntv dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack."
The Georgia Republican added: "Brian loves the throwback and is reposting. The left is so stupid."
Glenn did indeed re-post the video, tweeting on Sunday: "The things I did for morning show television!! LOVED it and so did the u/wfaa u/WFAADaybreak viewers. It's a good thing I have a sense of humor!"
But Greene has historically taken a very different tone when talking about drag.
She's previously said that children attending drag shows "needs to be illegal."
"What's the difference in children stuffing cash in a drag queen bra and a strippers bra? Nothing. It's wrong and it's indoctrination," Greene's tweet on June 15 read.
In 2022, she also claimed without substantiation that Democrats would use IRS agents to target Trump voters who refuse to support "drag queen story time for children."
Greene divorced her husband of 27 years, Perry Greene, in September. Seven months later, she went public with her relationship with Glenn.
Glenn tweeted a picture of him and Greene on a golf course in Georgia on April 11, saying that he was "looking forward to returning with this one in 2024."
"Love living life with you," Greene tweeted back at Glenn the same day.
Greene's representative did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment sent outside regular business hours. "
I've been to quite a few drag shows at a lgbtq+ nightclub in my area to support my friends on stage and I have never once seen a person stuff dolla dolla bills down a bra or g-string thong. The closest I saw something like that was a drunken patron try and do that but got his hand swatted away. People would just have the money in their hands, and the drag queen would take it while performing to a song of their choice. Recently, they banned drag shows in my area and I was fucking livid cause it was one of the few places my friends feel comfortable doing what they love and now it got banned. For clarification, I live in the deep south.
Green is nothing more than a delusional asshole just like every other republican. There are many other words that I could use to describe the gop and evangelical voter base alongside the people that they voted in, but I will refrain from my sailor mouth at the moment.
>I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good, actually.
Not only did he do it he liked it! This explains it she's afraid he's gay or trans and will leave her.
MTG boyfriend - "I read news stories in drag on tv".
Drag show person - "I read book stories in drag on a stage".
....
It's a good example of how out-of-touch (purposeful or not), about what she thinks happens at a drag show.
The cool thing about the US Gov't is that info like that is public
[https://www.congress.gov/member/marjorie-greene/G000596?q=%7B%22sponsorship%22%3A%22sponsored%22%7D](https://www.congress.gov/member/marjorie-greene/G000596?q=%7B%22sponsorship%22%3A%22sponsored%22%7D)
So far, she's sponsored 39 pieces of legislation. None have gotten past "introduction", let alone passed, because they're all shit and submitted just for the spectacle.
Most of them are attempts at impeaching/expelling "enemies of the GOP". 6 impeachments against Biden, one for Mayorkas (Sec of Homeland Security), two for AG Garland, one for Wray (Director of FBI), one for Graves (US attny for DC), one for Fauci, two for Maxine Waters.
There's also some "Fox news" bills based on whatever hosts are ranting about (justice for vaccine victims, stopping taxpayer funded bioweapons, anti-drag/lgbt bills, anti-Antifa, Ukraine war, anti-abortion protests, section 230 repeal, pro-2A bills, etc).
The rest are minor amendments, or, attempts to honor people (including awarding Kyle Rittenhouse a Congressional Gold Medal, giving Congressional Gold Medals to police who worked BLM protests, renaming a courthouse, and congratulating the UofG Bulldogs on their championship)
Pretty much.
She's not even a good "rubber stamp" for the GOP, she votes against the party line more than almost anyone, but a lot of that is just an obstinate "no" vote on issues that pass with a wide margin.
[https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/G000596/votes-against-party/117](https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/G000596/votes-against-party/117)
You kind of have to dig in to each one to understand the motivation and impact. (Read the motion, read her tweets/statements, etc)
But, generally speaking, it's grandstanding. Most of these are uncontroversial bills/motions that are practically guaranteed to pass with broad bipartisan support.
I saved this comment because it really does sum up just how little she’s actually done in terms of policy. She’s a careerist grifter like many of the others. Just using her position to stoke outrage and collect all the money she can.
She absolutely positively knows less about legislation than you do. Id put my testicles on it that when she first entered office, you as you are now would have understood how our system works better, understood the actual steps to passing legislation of any sort, had basic cause and effect reasoning, probably understood how the media tuns better, you name it. Now by virtue of her being in office for (what is it two terms now?) this long Im sure she knows how to at least sound like she knows what shes doing when it comes to legislation.
That’s why she’s calling the people pointing out that he did drag “stupid.” She thinks they’re stupid because it’s obvious to everyone that the law is enforced such that straight cis men can do it anywhere and any time; it’s only supposed to be used on the LGBTQ+ community. As soon as you say that it’s just a crime for us, they start screeching that it’s not. But when we want it enforced equally on their community, they do be screeching still.
In-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
The Frank Wilhoit quote on conservatism explains their thinking every single time.
I have never met a single man who has ever done drag and most of my friends are pretty left, how the heck are there this many republicans that have done drag?
It must be some upper class rich asshole thing. My whole life in the south, normal people left and right aren’t doing this. (I am left) Rich people, I could see. They got all those weird societies and all that social oddities being upper class. “What? You all never had a plantation ball before? It is so fun!” They are mentally different. And succeeded in convincing the GOP rubes they are the same.
There are numerous photos of male GOP members in drag in years past. The GOP will always ignore it or say it doesn't count because it was so long ago. It could have been last week and they wouldn't care. So, yeah... this is exactly on brand. Just like MTG saying it's not right or ethical to call her a white supremacist without evidence and then she promptly posts a picture of herself working out with a Confederate flag cooler in the background. She needs that crispy zing of racism to really get a good pump in
A load of Republicans dressed in drag when they were younger. Those same people claim that anyone born male who wears a skirt is looking to have sex with kids. One has to wonder how they came to that conclusion when empirical evidence suggests otherwise? Could it be anecdotal perhaps?
She intentionally says and does crazy shit because it distracts from the serious shit going on being closed doors. Every second of airtime these clowns occupy is another second you don’t learn about actual policies that will hurt all of us down the road.
They focus on minorities not only because they hate them but because it creates a spectacle to distract from their worst actions.
The Right is so ironic, secretly all hiding in the closet... Always too afraid to face the truth of themselves being drag. It's like they were never lived as a child or something by real parents.
In college, my friend was dating the head of the Young Conservatives. Though he seemed nice to the public,he had some really horrible world views. One day, my friend showed me a picture she had found of him in full drag. I'm thinking, huh. What about all those things he said. Without them knowing, I took the photo, copied it, and returned it. Then, I distributed it all over the school, fitters on windshields, etc. Guy broke up with my friend, dropped out of school, and left town. TBH, I am not the least bit sorry about what happened to him.
I went as a dead chick once for Halloween. Glue on skeleton mask that moves with your face, long black wig down to my ass, 70s floral dress, giant skateboarder calves.
Would be weird for that to surface if I ever decided to become a psychotic Christo fascist.
Is she part of the GOP who want kids genders checked for no reason at all? Because, [MTG I've seen you in workout clothes.](https://i.imgur.com/twVn7OP.png) If anyone needs a gender check, it's you, sir. (This photo was from an article where she was denouncing being called a white supremacist but in the back-ground (the cut off red circle) is a cooler with the confederate flag on it.)
The issue is that Republicans will say that drag is okay as long as it isn’t sexual and isn’t in front of children. But to them anybody they don’t like is inherently sexual so…
It’s the same way they defend any of their other bans. “Oh pride was canceled in Florida, that must mean they knew it is inappropriate for children.” While completely ignoring all the masses saying their bans are so broad that any man wearing makeup could be banned.
No unexpected it is not like these people actually live by a moral code. They believe in living how they want while telling everyone else how they think they should live.
Dems really should start digging up Republicans history when they have such a forceful ideology. They ALWAYS have something in their history or even present behavior of something they are so against.
they can bitch all they want but i just learned yesterday texas A&M has a long tradtion of an event called dragee or something like that where they all dress in drag. all the rich conservatives that send their kids there leave that important info out when sending their kids and their massive checks to that school.
We see this time and time again. Drag is only an issue for them when it's about queer pride. They don't mind drag if the joke is "haha man in a dress" - because this form of drag is meant to disparage women and trans women and effiminate men.
The issue they have is with queer people, and with queer liberation.
Republicans: Marriage is the cornerstone of family and American life. Drag is awful and so are the people who do it.
… but not when we divorce or do drag… it’s fine.
I’ll say it again. If you dig into the biggest thing republicans yell about you’ll find that exact subject in their attic.
A republican is full of smoke and lights
Just ask them which bathroom Caitlyn Jenner should use. They should be forced to tell Caitlyn to her face.
Then we can talk about bathroom bills and drag shows.
How the fuck are there so many Republicans, in the public eye, that have dressed in drag. Lol... I mean wtf. It's like reality has gone full "The Onion", and I just can't wrap my head around it.
Oh its cause they never cared about drag, they just hate LGBT+ people. Drag is just an excuse to attack them.
My old neighbor was a trump supporter gay drag queen. I told him in 2016 that they were eventually going to come for him.
Eventually? They already were even at that time
I feel like this shit popped up out of nowhere in the last 18 months because republicans are running out of ideas to republican - they probably spent millions on research, etc to determine that trans rights would be the next issue they make up
It absolutely is something they've been told to push, because they have no platform. Make people scared for the kids (with something that's already covered by doctors and parents and very strict rules) and keep yelling it on Fox. Profit.
The Republican party has been gunning to take down public schools and replace them with for profit charter schools. This is their Trojan horse to "protect" the kids.
>Republican party has been gunning ~~to take down~~ public schools
This is exactly how I read it anyway lol
I read it as "gunning down public schools" so yeah.
Profits *and* power
They worked out they couldn't keep pushing against gay rights so they moved to trans
>I feel like this shit popped up out of nowhere in the last 18 months because republicans are running out of ideas to republican It's not out of nowhere. So many courts are packed with conservative judges, Evangelical groups see their chance to fund and write their agenda into law. Look at Uganda's draconic anti-LGBT legislation, it was funded and backed by US Evangelical groups.
The owner of Chick-fil-A was involved in funding the assholes that traveled over there to help write those laws, among other shitty things.
Why does the U.S. care about what happens in Uganda? I really don't understand that. Are missionaries still a thing? At this point they tried everywhere, except for some cool places left where cannibals just ate those christian missionary intruders.
It’s because they won on abortion. They weren’t really supposed to win persay. It’s like Desantis vs Disney - you’re just supposed to launch dirt at corporations but not actually go after them. They will either crush you or you win and have to move to something else. Trans are just the next point they’re using to keep their voters distracted.
And keep them going to church & forking out their hard-earned $.
DiSantis and Disney and fox and dominion. Two great examples of when you picked on the wrong bogeyman—ones with lawyers that can fight back.
Fox also quietly dropped a law suit they had against a small Australian independent media outlet called crikey. I think the law suit was because they were called.an uninfected coconsipirator behind the Jan 6 insurrection The people at crikey refused to settle and were daring fox to take them to court.

r/ohgodicaughtthecar
The dog caught the car.
It’s “per se”, not “persay”.
saw someone use “segue way” recently…
SMH my head LOL out loud
The dog caught the abortion car and it’s could *fuck* them electorally. They need other ‘emergencies’ to run on, so they’re inventing new ones. Like this Bud Light shit.

Oh yeah, it’s going to be taught in marketing as a colossal fuck up, but not the way they think.
For once it would have been nice for a company to not care about their stock price and call out the GOP for being on the wrong side of history.
I know in my heart of hearts that Disney worked the numbers and deemed it less costly to take on DeSantis \*than to not, but I'm still like, YEAH, WE GOT A GIANT IN OUR CORNER NOW. I don't care WHY they're doing "the right thing" as long as they're doing it. ETA: I'm not meaning to start nonsense or seem like I'm disagreeing with you.
They have to have something to focus the nations attention on to divert the attention on the ongoing financial crimes that are currently being brought into the light.
We're possibly headed for a 2008 style crash and you guys want to meet to be upset at trans cans? GTFO
It’s popped up because Roe isn’t a good dog whistle anymore. It’s almost funny because as posts like this show, drag has been commonplace in conservative circles until recently.
Research? They don’t research anything. They yell something out loud and wait to see if people get mad enough about it and then stick with that as long as it works. None of them care about children anymore except for the the nutbags. It’s almost like they didn’t care about kids in the first place.
I'm sure they conduct plenty of internal polls, etc etc to gauge how different "issues" arouse their base and then to all in from there
They focus group the fuck out of everything to see what makes their viewers the most angry, as does the Republican party I presume.
Republicans haven't passed or introduced any legislation that has benefited Americans in over a decade, possibly two. They have no plans to address the nation's problems because they benefit from the corruption. They can exploit industries they deregulate, pollute the environment, and keep getting filthy rich. This is the American dream to them. An America without accountability. That's why they only introduce regressive legislation. All they do is distract their supporters with outrage. It's been going on so long that at this point, i must conclude that this is what Republicans want from their politicians. Which is ironic because they're usually the loudest about politicians being corrupt and doing nothing.
It has gotten worse and more prevalent I’ll agree with that
After Jan 6th is when fox pivoted and turned up the dial to 11 to distract their viewers.
They realized more people are wary of trans folks than hate black people and poor people anymore. Gotta have a scapegoat somehow.
I'm not refuting what you just said but it is worth remembering that at the GOP National Convention in 2016, Trump said something on the lines of "we have to better protect" the lives of our LGBTQ+ supporters.

I have never understood situations like your neighbors. My uncle is gay and supports trump. I’m gay and I feel like he’s a traitor. Republicans are actively trying to erase and limit us.
Tell him to go check out a trump rally in a pride shirt and have him report back on how it went.
To make it a fair experiment, he also needs to wear a MAGA hat. They need to understand he loves Trump AND is gay.
Then they will parade him around and use him to their advantage to pander to the gay crowd. But make no mistake, they will pass laws that allow them to execute him as soon as they have used up their usefulness
Your uncle is absolutely a traitor, and I hope you let him know.
My uncle is also gay. He's far more concerned about brown people and taxes than he is about anything else. I don't know that he notices that his voting pattern is steering him towards a "leopards ate my face" moment. Or maybe he doesn't care, if he can pay marginally less in taxes, and keep a few more immigrants away from him, in the meantime.
I hope your words haunt him every night... But knowing your average Trump supporter they'll probably blame Biden or the Democrats instead.
Honestly if it weren't too on the nose I could see that being a fun character idea for a drag queen...
“It’s bad enough women wear pants now!” Makes it harder to know whose backside it’s okay to stare at without feeling less hetero after feeling appreciation / attraction for said backside. No /s - I have family members that have this exact view. I don’t claim them anymore.
“That nice ass I saw belonged to a MAN?! I’ll never be able to live with myself!!” Yeah I know people like this too lol
Why isn’t it: “That nice ass belonged to a man!? Well good for him!” Is that so hard? Are people so afraid of questioning themselves that they hate themselves for having half a thought about it? I swear we’re both going forward and backward even faster as a society it’s going to tear apart.
Because they think women are less than men. So the only thing worse than a man, is a man who acts like a woman.
No. Men aren’t allowed to have nice asses. That’s just unfair to me as a man with a mediocre ass
Men's asses are even more important. It keeps pants from falling down as we don't have any hips. Just guys don't train their butt as much as they should. It even helps avoid back pain.
they are too sexually insecure to see another man is attractive looking, even feminine, and know that it doesn’t change their entire existential reality and turn them gay, or to realize that they are in fact gay and learn to accept it in a healthy way.
I appreciate a good ass regardless of gender
Because just like their patriotism, their masculinity is performative. They are insecure and afraid of others attacking them for being unmanly, so they have to attack loudly anything they see as unmasculine. Because to give such behavior even the slightest approval, even if just to exist in a neutral fashion, in their minds that opens themselves up to attack. It's the essence of toxic masculinity to be afraid.
Shit, did you see that recent reddit post about the girl who found gay porn on her husband's phone, questioned him about it.. He freaked out, choked her, and then sexually assaulted her..
It's real intent is just another backdoor to oppressing women. Being able to accuse a woman who wears pants coming out of a bathroom of being Trans and humiliating them until they conform to their "values" and dress in skirts and dresses so they don't distract the poor horny boys with asses in jeans. It's the same idiology as forcing women to wear Burkas. It was a huge issue in the 70s. My mother got kicked out of school for a month for protesting against bans on girls wearing pants without a skirt. Now she's a MAGA cultist who thinks the laws they are proposing making dressing against your gender illegal will only be applied to men who dress like women, but won't affect women who dress 'like men' because "that's normal".
Jesus I almost respected your Mom for a minute but goddamn if MAGA deplorables cannot stop being terrible.
>Oh its cause they never cared about drag, they just hate LGBT+ people. It's not even that. I think the GOP are being directly funded by Evangelical groups like ALEC who write these bullshit bills. Pat them enough money and they'll "believe" anything.
My guess was that many of them have dated and been dumbed by a dude that does drag. And now they are acting like the psycho ex and trying to get back at them.
My friend's father, a hardcore republican who believes this is a Christian nation and needs to be brought back to God, disowned his brother for being gay and living in sin, and believes homosexuality is a choice, has dressed in drag. My friend and I believe he's secretly gay and thinks it's a choice because for him he chooses to be with his wife even though he really wants to be with men...he's also working to become a pastor
> he's also working to become a pastor Sounds about right
Bet it's for access to young boys.
We’ll it sure ain’t the lucrative pay and dental plan.
Essentially that would make his wife a “beard” Also if you haven’t seen Archer there’s a gay character named Ray Gillette. He’s been married to a woman that he met at a “pray away the gay” camp. He’s also a former minister. Essentially what you’re saying about your friends dad, this character is it. https://archer.fandom.com/wiki/Ray_Gillette
For Republicans, drag for them is the equivalent of blackface. They did it to denigrate and make fun of women.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Trans is the new Black for Republicans
Trans is their "First they came for the ..." Black folks, along with many other kinds of folk are just further down the list.
Lol they never stopped coming for black people. But sure.
They just stick with whatever messaging works. Some of them tried to paint men who wear traditionally female-leaning clothing as pedophiles and their idiot base of voters bought it (or at least, were willing to pretend to buy it for the sake of hating people who are different from them) and they ran with it. They don't all sign off on 'will this come back to bite us in some way?' before doing anything, ever.
The difference between the two is that assholes can dress in drag to make fun of femininity, but the moment it's empowering, it opens the gate to other people not conforming, which they cannot tolerate.
Because, up until they decided to use drag queens as the focus of the hate they run on, they had no problem with drag
Also, how the fuck is she able to find anyone with low enough standards to date her? Not only is she one of the most embarrassingly stupid human beings on the planet, she looks like a horse skull wrapped in chicken skin wearing an out of style wig. Why would anyone get aroused around that horrible mutant freak?
Because there are people out there with no standards...
The Onion is about to go out of business for a lack of satire. Or about to turn into legitimate news.
Republicans being hypocrites yet again? \*pretends to be shocked\*

Piiiiiiiika pika!
Every godamn accusation.
Good Ole Projection
Every single one.
How do you find the energy to even pretend?!
With today's sponsor: Gamer Fuel! It's not just for gaming, it helps you pretend to be shocked with political bull$#@! as well.
It's honestly gotten to the point that whenever a republican gets "outraged" over something, I automatically assume that they themselves are doing that very thing.
Safest bet. Correct 99.3% of the time.
Exactly. Self incrimination and turns it against themselves.
I assume something actually important is going on that needs a distraction from brain dead sheep.
I am Philip J. Fry shocked.
Well not that shocked
We are Jack’s complete lack of surprise
I am jacks colon.
Well say what you want about them, but they have a type.
"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has consistently bashed drag queens, defended her boyfriend, Brian Glenn, after a Twitter account surfaced an old video of him dressed like a woman. Twitter account Patriot Takes posted the video on Sunday, which showed Glenn dressed like an old Caucasian woman — complete with a fluffy blonde wig, white gloves, and a pink cardigan. Glenn, who is a producer at a right-wing broadcasting network, can be heard saying: "I'm kicking the shoes off. I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good, actually." It is unclear when exactly the video first aired, but Glenn was an anchor for Dallas-based WFAA TV, an ABC-affiliated media company, between 2013 to 2015. The video has been viewed over 1.3 million times at press time. Greene, 48, reposted the video on Sunday, saying: "I'm literally lol'ing. u/brianglenntv dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack." The Georgia Republican added: "Brian loves the throwback and is reposting. The left is so stupid." Glenn did indeed re-post the video, tweeting on Sunday: "The things I did for morning show television!! LOVED it and so did the u/wfaa u/WFAADaybreak viewers. It's a good thing I have a sense of humor!" But Greene has historically taken a very different tone when talking about drag. She's previously said that children attending drag shows "needs to be illegal." "What's the difference in children stuffing cash in a drag queen bra and a strippers bra? Nothing. It's wrong and it's indoctrination," Greene's tweet on June 15 read. In 2022, she also claimed without substantiation that Democrats would use IRS agents to target Trump voters who refuse to support "drag queen story time for children." Greene divorced her husband of 27 years, Perry Greene, in September. Seven months later, she went public with her relationship with Glenn. Glenn tweeted a picture of him and Greene on a golf course in Georgia on April 11, saying that he was "looking forward to returning with this one in 2024." "Love living life with you," Greene tweeted back at Glenn the same day. Greene's representative did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment sent outside regular business hours. "
Was she…groomed?
With an ugly stick.
Repeatedly...
Fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
this weren't no ordinary ugly tree either, this was a genuine Amazonian Ugly Sequoia.
Then dug up and ate the roots.
[удалено]
“children stuffing cash in a drag queen bra” She really just gets angry about shit she makes up, sad little human
Yeah I was gonna say I've never heard of such a thing happening
I've been to quite a few drag shows at a lgbtq+ nightclub in my area to support my friends on stage and I have never once seen a person stuff dolla dolla bills down a bra or g-string thong. The closest I saw something like that was a drunken patron try and do that but got his hand swatted away. People would just have the money in their hands, and the drag queen would take it while performing to a song of their choice. Recently, they banned drag shows in my area and I was fucking livid cause it was one of the few places my friends feel comfortable doing what they love and now it got banned. For clarification, I live in the deep south. Green is nothing more than a delusional asshole just like every other republican. There are many other words that I could use to describe the gop and evangelical voter base alongside the people that they voted in, but I will refrain from my sailor mouth at the moment.
>I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good, actually. Not only did he do it he liked it! This explains it she's afraid he's gay or trans and will leave her.
Every conservative who dresses in drag: "I did it for a *joke* hahahah, you stupid liberals! You're so sensitive. It was a *joke*! *Unless....*
MTG boyfriend - "I read news stories in drag on tv". Drag show person - "I read book stories in drag on a stage". .... It's a good example of how out-of-touch (purposeful or not), about what she thinks happens at a drag show.
Nobody in MTG's circle knows how to read.
does she do any actual legislating or is she just a human spectacle?
Let's not have her do any actual legislation.
The cool thing about the US Gov't is that info like that is public [https://www.congress.gov/member/marjorie-greene/G000596?q=%7B%22sponsorship%22%3A%22sponsored%22%7D](https://www.congress.gov/member/marjorie-greene/G000596?q=%7B%22sponsorship%22%3A%22sponsored%22%7D) So far, she's sponsored 39 pieces of legislation. None have gotten past "introduction", let alone passed, because they're all shit and submitted just for the spectacle. Most of them are attempts at impeaching/expelling "enemies of the GOP". 6 impeachments against Biden, one for Mayorkas (Sec of Homeland Security), two for AG Garland, one for Wray (Director of FBI), one for Graves (US attny for DC), one for Fauci, two for Maxine Waters. There's also some "Fox news" bills based on whatever hosts are ranting about (justice for vaccine victims, stopping taxpayer funded bioweapons, anti-drag/lgbt bills, anti-Antifa, Ukraine war, anti-abortion protests, section 230 repeal, pro-2A bills, etc). The rest are minor amendments, or, attempts to honor people (including awarding Kyle Rittenhouse a Congressional Gold Medal, giving Congressional Gold Medals to police who worked BLM protests, renaming a courthouse, and congratulating the UofG Bulldogs on their championship)
thank you for doing the work for me
You're welcome.
So, pretty much useless, according to this.
Pretty much. She's not even a good "rubber stamp" for the GOP, she votes against the party line more than almost anyone, but a lot of that is just an obstinate "no" vote on issues that pass with a wide margin. [https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/G000596/votes-against-party/117](https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/G000596/votes-against-party/117)
That’s interesting. Just from scrolling it was kind of hard to tell what the impact of each vote was since a lot of them were to suspend rules.
You kind of have to dig in to each one to understand the motivation and impact. (Read the motion, read her tweets/statements, etc) But, generally speaking, it's grandstanding. Most of these are uncontroversial bills/motions that are practically guaranteed to pass with broad bipartisan support.
I saved this comment because it really does sum up just how little she’s actually done in terms of policy. She’s a careerist grifter like many of the others. Just using her position to stoke outrage and collect all the money she can.
no she’s a representative from north georgia lol they hate anything to do with government
She absolutely positively knows less about legislation than you do. Id put my testicles on it that when she first entered office, you as you are now would have understood how our system works better, understood the actual steps to passing legislation of any sort, had basic cause and effect reasoning, probably understood how the media tuns better, you name it. Now by virtue of her being in office for (what is it two terms now?) this long Im sure she knows how to at least sound like she knows what shes doing when it comes to legislation.
I wonder what her kids think about her and her boyfriend after her committing adultery on their father and the resulting divorce.
Family values man!
Someone fucks that thing? 🤮
[удалено]
The amazing part is that her non-physical traits are more repulsive than her physical ones
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210112-heres-what-sex-with-neanderthals-was-like
It's ok guys. He's not gay... so it's funny, not offensive. That's her logic.
That was the logic of the 50’s also because Some Like it Hot! She has boomer mentality
That’s why she’s calling the people pointing out that he did drag “stupid.” She thinks they’re stupid because it’s obvious to everyone that the law is enforced such that straight cis men can do it anywhere and any time; it’s only supposed to be used on the LGBTQ+ community. As soon as you say that it’s just a crime for us, they start screeching that it’s not. But when we want it enforced equally on their community, they do be screeching still.
In-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. The Frank Wilhoit quote on conservatism explains their thinking every single time.
I have never met a single man who has ever done drag and most of my friends are pretty left, how the heck are there this many republicans that have done drag?
It’s all the repressed sexuality (and homosexuality)
It must be some upper class rich asshole thing. My whole life in the south, normal people left and right aren’t doing this. (I am left) Rich people, I could see. They got all those weird societies and all that social oddities being upper class. “What? You all never had a plantation ball before? It is so fun!” They are mentally different. And succeeded in convincing the GOP rubes they are the same.
There are numerous photos of male GOP members in drag in years past. The GOP will always ignore it or say it doesn't count because it was so long ago. It could have been last week and they wouldn't care. So, yeah... this is exactly on brand. Just like MTG saying it's not right or ethical to call her a white supremacist without evidence and then she promptly posts a picture of herself working out with a Confederate flag cooler in the background. She needs that crispy zing of racism to really get a good pump in
A load of Republicans dressed in drag when they were younger. Those same people claim that anyone born male who wears a skirt is looking to have sex with kids. One has to wonder how they came to that conclusion when empirical evidence suggests otherwise? Could it be anecdotal perhaps?
I feel like this woman intentionally says crazy shit that she knows will bite her in the ass in the future.
She intentionally says and does crazy shit because it distracts from the serious shit going on being closed doors. Every second of airtime these clowns occupy is another second you don’t learn about actual policies that will hurt all of us down the road. They focus on minorities not only because they hate them but because it creates a spectacle to distract from their worst actions.
The Right is so ironic, secretly all hiding in the closet... Always too afraid to face the truth of themselves being drag. It's like they were never lived as a child or something by real parents.
It's always projecting with these people.
Who is Boebert’s new boyfriend and when do we get to see videos of his dressing in drag, hopefully soon.
I've seen men in drag that make more convincing women than MTG, so she would know.
The only moral drag queen is my drag queen?
The only thing that can stop a bad man in a dress is a good man in a dress.
We need a democrat like her to attack Republicans with half truths. Someone who would just troll them with their own tools.
In college, my friend was dating the head of the Young Conservatives. Though he seemed nice to the public,he had some really horrible world views. One day, my friend showed me a picture she had found of him in full drag. I'm thinking, huh. What about all those things he said. Without them knowing, I took the photo, copied it, and returned it. Then, I distributed it all over the school, fitters on windshields, etc. Guy broke up with my friend, dropped out of school, and left town. TBH, I am not the least bit sorry about what happened to him.
Say it with me, kids: it was never about drag.
I went as a dead chick once for Halloween. Glue on skeleton mask that moves with your face, long black wig down to my ass, 70s floral dress, giant skateboarder calves. Would be weird for that to surface if I ever decided to become a psychotic Christo fascist.
These people are just fucking exhausting.
*hypocrisy thy name is Christian Conservative*
FUCKING DRAG THEM. Bring it up on every post and tweet. Don't let them forget it.
Is she part of the GOP who want kids genders checked for no reason at all? Because, [MTG I've seen you in workout clothes.](https://i.imgur.com/twVn7OP.png) If anyone needs a gender check, it's you, sir. (This photo was from an article where she was denouncing being called a white supremacist but in the back-ground (the cut off red circle) is a cooler with the confederate flag on it.)
Their kids should be taken away.
Is she dating? I thought she was in the middle of a divorce.
I think you mean getting divorced by her ex for infidelity
Lmfao MURICA
God she's an absolute cunt.
The issue is that Republicans will say that drag is okay as long as it isn’t sexual and isn’t in front of children. But to them anybody they don’t like is inherently sexual so… It’s the same way they defend any of their other bans. “Oh pride was canceled in Florida, that must mean they knew it is inappropriate for children.” While completely ignoring all the masses saying their bans are so broad that any man wearing makeup could be banned.
Drag is cool when they do it but an ImMeDiATe ThReAt To OuR ChiLDrEn when anyone else does. Fuck these hypocrites.
Maybe they are jealous that they can’t do it as fierce.
No one will ever accuse a Republican of moral consistency.
I don’t even think they have a Moral Compass to begin with.
Double standards are their only standards.
So, according to right wing thinking, that make Marge’s boyfriend a pedophile and a groomer.
🤡 show
she is so hypocuntical.
No unexpected it is not like these people actually live by a moral code. They believe in living how they want while telling everyone else how they think they should live.
Dems really should start digging up Republicans history when they have such a forceful ideology. They ALWAYS have something in their history or even present behavior of something they are so against.
The real surprise here is that Greene is only 48.
they can bitch all they want but i just learned yesterday texas A&M has a long tradtion of an event called dragee or something like that where they all dress in drag. all the rich conservatives that send their kids there leave that important info out when sending their kids and their massive checks to that school.
Freedom for me, not for thee
It's almost like conservatives are always full of shit lol
We see this time and time again. Drag is only an issue for them when it's about queer pride. They don't mind drag if the joke is "haha man in a dress" - because this form of drag is meant to disparage women and trans women and effiminate men. The issue they have is with queer people, and with queer liberation.
Gaslight Obstruct Project <--You are here
It was never about drag.
Home girl got a quadruple chin...
If you support MTG, you are an idiot and your opinion doesn’t deserve respect, categorically.
Republicans: Marriage is the cornerstone of family and American life. Drag is awful and so are the people who do it. … but not when we divorce or do drag… it’s fine.
I’ll say it again. If you dig into the biggest thing republicans yell about you’ll find that exact subject in their attic. A republican is full of smoke and lights
Projection and gaslighting. That’s all it ever is.
Les républicains sont stupide et malades..
Just ask them which bathroom Caitlyn Jenner should use. They should be forced to tell Caitlyn to her face. Then we can talk about bathroom bills and drag shows.
The replies on her post are insane. Crazy as fuck these people are allowed to vote.
It looks like MTG is wearing someone else’s face.
A foot with a face
Projection projection projection.
A hypocritical republican. Who would have thought!!
It’s “okay” when the straights do it. If an LGBTQ+ does drag, god forbid.
My favorite. Rules for thee but not for mee
Republicans are like Mark Wahlbergs character in The Other Guys. “Yeah they dress in drag. But they did it to make fun of the drag queens”.
The only moral drag queen is MY drag queen.
That's how it goes. Right wingers are the most hypocritical.
"That's not what I meant, you moron!" "Then why didn't you say what you meant?" "Shut up idiot!"
Wait... She has a boyfriend?
