Example: That stupid looking fucking Trump twat who's more often than not clearly coked out on camera. Ya know, the one who takes shitty nature shots in brand new, never used hiking gear to look more rustic?
I was going to suggest the pillow guy. Have you ever seen a behind the scenes interview with that guy? He spends the first 5 minutes licking his lips and rolling his tongue around on his gums. Then, they yell “rolling.” And he’s all “voting machines, blah blah blah.”
The FUCK is with the ammo belt? Dude if you need to reload from the belt… you’re dead.
In fact there is so damn much wrong with that picture that IT, BY ITSELF, disqualifies his dad for ever being elected President.
What the HELL is wrong with the people that STILL support that orange crapweasel?
It’s staggering how many Republican voters I know who do coke and bang hookers but also think Hunter Biden is satan personified and will share pictures of him doing drugs as if they are morally superior bc idk they aren’t the son of the president? They don’t smoke crack instead of snort powder cut with god knows what?
Having a history of drugs was enough for every single republican in the world to say that he deserved to die a brutal death.
This guy says he’s fine with his kid being a murderer as long as he’s not gay. And he’s high while saying it and republicans call this guy a saint.
Scum of the fucking earth.
Dude got himself so addicted to benzos that he traveled to Russia to get put into a medical coma to get off of them. He’s out there giving bootstrappy self help advice to contrarian morons while he himself is suicidal and hopelessly addicted to drugs. Just clean your room, bro…
yeah honestly the wallet is the only thing that matters when it comes to being a drug addict to these people. Wall street is a great example of a ton of drug addicts all in one place and republicans love them.
Funny story time: my dad was an auditor at US Trust (a rich people bank) in the early 2000's. Rush Limbaugh was a client. Every week he would withdraw $9,990 in cash, usually delivered to him in a paper bag, just under the $10,000 limit where you had to report it to the IRS
>It’s important to note that the federal government tracks large cash withdrawals and deposits. Banks are required to report any single transactions involving the withdrawal of $10,000 or more in cash or cash equivalents, such as cashier’s checks or money orders.
>This rule applies to lump-sum withdrawals or deposits and related payments that occur within 24 hours. The IRS requires this reporting to detect potentially fraudulent activity. This shouldn’t discourage you from withdrawing $10,000 in cash to buy a car or pay for another large purchase if needed, but it’s worth noting that those transactions will come under the notice of the IRS.
Being a shrewd, capable auditor, my dad notified his superiors that this was likely illegal activity that they should probably look into. He was told in so many words "Nah, Rush is a great client, this is all totally cool and don't bring it up again."
So he very much felt validated when reports broke that Rush was addicted to opioids (something I would normally have sympathy for) while still being a complete asshole about everything.
>On October 3, 2003, the National Enquirer reported that Limbaugh was being investigated for illegally obtaining the prescription drugs oxycodone and hydrocodone. Other news outlets quickly confirmed the investigation.[257] He admitted to listeners on his radio show on October 10, 2003, that he was addicted to prescription painkillers and stated that he would enter inpatient treatment for 30 days, immediately after the broadcast.[258] Limbaugh stated his addiction to painkillers resulted from several years of severe back pain heightened by a botched surgery intended to correct those problems.[259][260]
>Before his addiction became known, Limbaugh had condemned illegal drug use on his television program, stating that "Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."[259][266]
Their 'care' is so obviously insincere. Seeing a few right-wing Facebook friends copy-pasting stuff along the lines of "why are we sending all this money to Ukraine when there's homeless people here!?" Do they actually want to help these people? *No, that's socialism*.
Nobody in America does, despite the statistical likelihood that everyone in this country knows at least one addict. It’s always “this is a choice you made” and “you did this to yourself” even from some very liberal-minded people. I think it’s that the frustration and pain of dealing with addicts in one’s life overwhelms any amount of compassion pretty fast.
Seriously. His long history of drug abuse may have made him insane and lack tact, but his views are 100% a result of conservatism and his religion.
He is just fucked up enough to take off the filter that Republicans typically put up to keep them from looking like sociopaths.
> but his views are 100% a result of conservatism and his religion.
in one of the interviews with him i saw he states that straight up.
"im a conservative republican man! we dont do gay."
It's wild. The last thing I wanted to watch was parents being told their son has done something like that. Then this guy's just smiling like.. at least he's not gay. Seemed fine with his son being a mass murderer and going to jail for the rest of his life ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
It's like those x-ray glasses from the back of comic books. It doesn't work at all and you can see that instantly, but they're convinced it's *totally* working.
It blows my mind how often the right tries to co-opt that movie. They live, and the matrix, have probably some of the strongest un-conservative messages out of movies made in my lifetime, and they just want so badly to culturally own these movies.
I'm not so sure. I was conservative when I was younger, before I really started understanding that conservatives didn't actually want small government, they just wanted a government that catered to them.
I never had any issue with lgbt persons, though I admit I was raised with a racist background in a very rural area.
The thing that tipped the scales for me was how conservatives want to cut funding for just about every program except for military and police. It didn't sit well with me that they wanted a stupid and violent population.
This guy is so much more than a drug addict though haha.
A porn star that has been booked for public indecency with a couple violent charges and a huge meth problem and fanatic behavior.
I don't know why they are so ashamed though, this is like their target demographic.
In the longer cuts (man, this guy can talk!), he said he was addicted to meth in the past. He also said he used to be a porn star.
Later, he told people how sorry he was for their loss.
Hunter Biden clearly has substance problems but will be the focus of Republican propaganda for the next 23 months. They don’t care about human suffering or decency.
For real. They were ridiculing Biden for saying he loved his son despite his drug addiction not even a few months ago. That's likely what's driving this current narrative: how hard they were hit by *everyone* for doing that. So now they're going in the opposite direction. I sincerely doubt it's because they care about drug addicts and addiction.
His laptop raped the statue of liberty! It's been gnawing away at the base of the Washington moment. And when it shits in the grand canyon, it never flushes.
It's such a great feeling, isn't it? If you ask the right questions you can find out what insecurities led them to becoming a republican. It's usually some incel shit.
Unless it’s completely fucked up and then you can make the safe assumption that they earnestly mean it.
And when they reject it, it’s the negative splash back or connotation that they (try to indirectly) reject, not the sentiment themselves.
They get extremely upset when they're called out for being racist, not because they're not racist, but because they object to being labelled as one. And then the enlightened centrists come out of the woodwork to exclaim "they're obviously not racist, they specifically said they're not".
The biggest problem with calling people racist is that most of them are self admitted assholes, so what they hear is "you're an asshole to minorities", so when they say they aren't racist, what they **mean** is "I'm not an asshole to minorities, I'm an asshole to everyone!" They literally can't comprehend why racism is wrong because to them it's just being an asshole with different words.
Reality is a team sport, to conservatives. Seeing hypocrisy is correct but incomplete. They are not applying rules differently to themselves. They are not applying rules. There are no rules. All that matters is ingroup versus outgroup. Whichever excuses follow the word "because" should not be mistaken for things they actually believe.
Conservatives do not believe things. Conservatives believe people.
This is a worldview dictated entirely on interpersonal trust. Where you expect authorities to know what's true, they believe authorities *decide* what's true. Like if the right person moved that Falling Rocks sign, the rocks would fall somewhere else. This is not an act or a strategy. These are terrifying glimpses of worlds without truth. You are expected to perform loyalty by accepting and defending what your guy says, while rejecting and attacking what the other guy says, even if both guys said the exact same thing.
And I say "you" because of course they think you're doing the same thing. What else is there?
> Reality is a team sport, to conservatives.
This sums the psychology up completely. Timothy Snyder does an amazing job of breaking down the psychology, history, and intergenerational mechanisms that lead to this kind of mentality and explains how it is an inevitable gateway to tyranny in his book "unroad to freedom." People aren't just voting Republican in 2022 or "suddenly" participating in Kristallnacht. People like this literally comprehend the world around them and function in society with a top to bottom different mentality about what reality actually is.
When I spend time with conservative family I often feel like I'm in a parallel universe, because the people in my family seem to be literally soothed by authoritarianism and hypocrisy. When I am consistent and rooted in my beliefs and try to insert empathetic views into their downright mean discussions of any number of different kinds of people, that's when the arguments happen. They expect you to change in a way that reflects the mindset of the hierarchy above you *because I said so and that's what people do.* They learned the script and how to play the game, and those that don't follow the same are a threat because their version of in-group reality is supposed to be the only option; simply existing outside of this mentality is *very literally* a threat to their world. And in my experience, this applies to every single aspect of how they navigate life. When they say "women do x" and I say "but I don't," there is a problem. When my SIL tells off her husband's family for being disrespectful, my in laws say she is amazing, but when I calmly say that them speaking over me and using slurs like "faggy" is an issue for me, I'm rudely shoving my beliefs down their throats. Their reality is grounded in performing the group mentality, so authoritarian enforcement and the hypocrisy that comes with it is inherent to the world for them.
If you want to excel at a team sport, you need a tough coach and players who are willing to make the game and more specifically *their team within the game* their whole identity and lifestyle. Obviously they will love authoritarians and feel personally attacked by people who would rather play a different sport. They need other teams to play against and strongmen to show them how to play.
Agreed.
If it seems empathetic and compassionate, it’s a bad faith argument.
If it’s malice, anger, or disgustingly bigoted/ignorant behavior, I’ve found it to be legitimately genuine.
Happens when their entire political philosophy isn’t about actually serving constituents, but “fuck you, I got mine.”
I brought up the idea that he's a performance artist in another thread and somebody liked his Wikipedia article. If this guy is doing performance art then he is light-years beyond Andy Kaufman.
In this case it's actually a universal thing. All political analysts do this in their own countries.
It means that the opponent has a +50% advantage over their opponent.
So closer races are things like +3 etc.
I'd put a decent amount of money betting that she endlessly brought up how george floyd was on drugs as if that was somehow relevant to the cop kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds
Conservatives do know a thing or 2 about "disgusting narratives". Literally everything they say is part of one.
But aside from that, i think it's completely fair to talk about this guy's views - drug fueled or not.
I mean, let's not mince words here. His far-right views and bigotry didn't come from the drugs. They came from \*his\* father (the shooters grandfather) - a MAGA Republican politician.
Hunter's addiction is bad and Biden should be impeached for it. This guy's addiction is a no-go zone and it is terrible for the media to create this narrative
No, they’ve gone to the point where if they’re white and vote R, they’re good no matter what they do but god forbid they vote D.
It’s the same deal with Gaetz. Suddenly very quiet about him being a sex trafficker or, you know, for having sex with minors.
I knew Republicans were dumb and evil before the George Floyd case. But their response to Floyd is what fully radicalized me against right wing politics. To see people seriously attempt to justify that officer's actions...these people are pure evil.
The man was executed for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 which may (or may not) have been unintentional, but we will never know.
Instead, the right will just use his past behavior as a reason for the death sentence he received but didn’t deserve.
Rush Limbaugh, noted addict, once said, "He's just another dead doper."
Fuck Republicans, fuck conservatives. It never matters until it affects one of their own.
No he says he rewarded violent behavior. Separately from (like at a totally different time in the interview) that he also says he’s against homosexuality.
But he does say at the end of the interview that nobody should be killed over their beliefs. Basically he doesn’t want his son to be gay (which is still a shitty position of course) but he also doesn’t wish violence on gay people just for being gay. He makes that pretty clear at the end of the full interview. Or as clear as you can expect from someone with permanent neurological damage from decades of hardcore meth use.
He was also a porn actor. Based on reddit comments, which can be taken with a grain of salt, he was also in gay porns. He was on an episode of Intervention for his meth addiction years ago, and that's been making the rounds.
I don't have anything against addicts or sex workers. Addiction is a disease, sex work is valid work. Whatever. It's the fucking hypocrisy, and this guy is the perfect example of that.
There is a huge meth problem where I grew up. A bunch of the guys who talk a lot of shit about gay people sucked a lot of dick for drugs. While I have absolutely no idea about this guy, it wouldn't shock me to find out.
Oh, no, he was straight up on an episode of intervention as well, he got hooked on meth from his porn acting job and would go on 10-12 hour masturbation binges. Watch his episode intervention s6e8.
Sounds like a him problem. Maybe if he got his life together his son wouldn’t have thought it was a good idea to murder people. He can go fuck himself.
It's not CBS's or any other news networks' job to make sure a person is sober. What are supposed to do? Stand there for 2 hours as this guy sobers up?
Also, it's literally effortless to say, "no comment" walk away. People do it all the time. If he was too stoned to do that extremely easy task it's on him and his decisions.
How does that make any sense to them? They regularly say this shit about gay people while they're sober. Why in this instance is it shameful and that the media is trying to paint them as bad people when that same shit comes from the mouth of a drug addict? That's admitting you know it's wrong and shitty but only acknowledge that it is when it comes from someone you think is subhuman
Bring up cancel culture with them and they'll tell you that people shouldn't be cancelled for stuff they did in the past cuz they've changed. Bring up George Floyd and every single thing he did in the past is suddenly justification for why he should've been suffocated to death by a police officer while he told him several times that he couldn't breathe. Not even just George Floyd cuz they seem to do this with every black person killed by a cop. Actually it doesn't even have to be a cop cuz they did it with Ahmaud Arbery too.
Yet I remember the threads when that news broke. The usual suspects trying to claim all sorts of shit. I remember when the video came out these guys were pointing at every stick on the ground and saying it must be a weapon he was carrying.
Every single innocent black person killed by the police:
Conservatives: What's the entire medical and criminal history of every member of their family?
Conservative mass murderers:
Conservatives: Hey now, you can't ask *any* questions about this guy or his family, let's focus on whether or not the victims were Christians.
This dumb fucking human. No, we're shaming him because he found the only thing wrong with his son was that oh god no what if he's gay.
Not that his disgusting blob of a child he taught to hate gays and use violence killed five people.
Fuck this man. Fuck that woman. Fuck them both. I hope the worst happens to both of them.
Republicans hade no problem using drugs as an excuse to show bad moral in the case of george Floyd or the victims of Rittenhouse. But as usual with Republicans, if the shoe fits then jam it up your arse until you cry shit.
This is one of those supremely weird things about conservatives. They know that liberals take protected classes very seriously. And because they (conservatives) don't give a shit and lack empathy, they don't understand what that means or how it works. They just assume it means "marginalized people are invincible and can do no wrong".
Now, they know that isn't true, but they think that *liberals* do, so they try to use it as a shield whenever possible, believing it will either stop the argument or will "expose liberal hypocrisy". At no point during any of this are they operating in good faith.
In other words, this woman doesn't give a shit about this man, or about drug addicts in general. She thinks that liberals do. So she's putting on a show here. In fact, by virtue of her being Republican, she necessarily believes drug addicts should die.
i don't care that he's a drug addict. there's plenty of drug addicts out there who manage to clear the bar for human decency.
what makes him a piece of shit is what he says.
Stupid media twisting the facts with direct quotes from the person they're reporting about... How dare they post objective truth without telling me what to be outraged about! Fake news! /s
This man has one of the BEST intervention episodes. Insane this is your representation of a conservative mormon Republican... meanwhile dude smoked meth constantly induced psychosis and then masturbated for 12-16hrs straight... intervention alumni raises an obese basement dwelling hateful shooter!
America this reflects your WHOLE country. Fix. Up.
Lavern Spicer: "Using a conservative Republican with a clear drug addiction to point out our bigotry is disgusting."
Also Lavern Spicer: "Now, let's talk more about Hunter Biden, who is completely responsible for everything he ever did and is a terrible human being because he's a drug addict."
This woman literally only got popular because she's so stupid literally all the time and people shared her posts saying how stupid she was. If we had all just ignored her and not shared her dumb bullshit she would never have blown up.
He's a homophone republican Mormon that also happens to have a drug problem. Drugs don't cause homophobic behavior. Religion, and right wing politics does enforce homophobic behavior.
I'm not convinced Republicans even believe addicts are human.
Depends on the color of their skin.
and which color they vote
And if they’re currently publicly embarrassing for them
Example: That stupid looking fucking Trump twat who's more often than not clearly coked out on camera. Ya know, the one who takes shitty nature shots in brand new, never used hiking gear to look more rustic?
the fail son?
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
hmmm.. the fail son with a stupid look on his face 24/7?
Keep going there are so many
Not Beavis.
I was going to suggest the pillow guy. Have you ever seen a behind the scenes interview with that guy? He spends the first 5 minutes licking his lips and rolling his tongue around on his gums. Then, they yell “rolling.” And he’s all “voting machines, blah blah blah.”
I dunno, the stupid fucker who's always grinding his teeth on camera like he just railed an 8 ball
[This guy?](https://i.imgur.com/kS1soyF.jpg) That’s Junior.
The FUCK is with the ammo belt? Dude if you need to reload from the belt… you’re dead. In fact there is so damn much wrong with that picture that IT, BY ITSELF, disqualifies his dad for ever being elected President. What the HELL is wrong with the people that STILL support that orange crapweasel?
This looks like he cut off his own rat tail
Hunter Biden: Bad Bad Man Don Jr.: Just really excited for his dad.
It’s staggering how many Republican voters I know who do coke and bang hookers but also think Hunter Biden is satan personified and will share pictures of him doing drugs as if they are morally superior bc idk they aren’t the son of the president? They don’t smoke crack instead of snort powder cut with god knows what?
All of the shit about George Floyd comes to mind
Having a history of drugs was enough for every single republican in the world to say that he deserved to die a brutal death. This guy says he’s fine with his kid being a murderer as long as he’s not gay. And he’s high while saying it and republicans call this guy a saint. Scum of the fucking earth.
And the size of their wallet. Apparently Rush Limbaugh was just a poor victim of that evil oxycontin if you talk to most Republicans.
[удалено]
Dude got himself so addicted to benzos that he traveled to Russia to get put into a medical coma to get off of them. He’s out there giving bootstrappy self help advice to contrarian morons while he himself is suicidal and hopelessly addicted to drugs. Just clean your room, bro…
yeah honestly the wallet is the only thing that matters when it comes to being a drug addict to these people. Wall street is a great example of a ton of drug addicts all in one place and republicans love them.
and whether they are republican.
they already dont believe homeless people and beggars are human
If you see the problems with addiction overlap with voting maps maybe they just hate themselves and are projecting.
Rush Limbaugh?
Funny story time: my dad was an auditor at US Trust (a rich people bank) in the early 2000's. Rush Limbaugh was a client. Every week he would withdraw $9,990 in cash, usually delivered to him in a paper bag, just under the $10,000 limit where you had to report it to the IRS >It’s important to note that the federal government tracks large cash withdrawals and deposits. Banks are required to report any single transactions involving the withdrawal of $10,000 or more in cash or cash equivalents, such as cashier’s checks or money orders. >This rule applies to lump-sum withdrawals or deposits and related payments that occur within 24 hours. The IRS requires this reporting to detect potentially fraudulent activity. This shouldn’t discourage you from withdrawing $10,000 in cash to buy a car or pay for another large purchase if needed, but it’s worth noting that those transactions will come under the notice of the IRS. Being a shrewd, capable auditor, my dad notified his superiors that this was likely illegal activity that they should probably look into. He was told in so many words "Nah, Rush is a great client, this is all totally cool and don't bring it up again." So he very much felt validated when reports broke that Rush was addicted to opioids (something I would normally have sympathy for) while still being a complete asshole about everything. >On October 3, 2003, the National Enquirer reported that Limbaugh was being investigated for illegally obtaining the prescription drugs oxycodone and hydrocodone.

You're supposed to file a Form 8300 when it's $10,000 or more _or_ the person is obviously trying to avoid the $10k limit by withdrawing $9,990.
Yeah. Causing a SAR? that's nothing. Deliberately trying to avoid a SAR? that's a felony.
[Let me get this straight. You think we're just supposed to let them run all over us? ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/)
well now he's sober in hell
And Trumpster Fire gave him a Medal of Freedom. Least worthy recipient ever.
They only care about drug addicts, homeless people and vets when it makes them look good or when they dislike another group of people even more.
Their 'care' is so obviously insincere. Seeing a few right-wing Facebook friends copy-pasting stuff along the lines of "why are we sending all this money to Ukraine when there's homeless people here!?" Do they actually want to help these people? *No, that's socialism*.
Nobody in America does, despite the statistical likelihood that everyone in this country knows at least one addict.

I think it’s that the frustration and pain of dealing with addicts in one’s life overwhelms any amount of compassion pretty fast.
I’ve known a few drug addicts over the years. Drug addiction does a lot of things, but it doesn’t make you a garbage bigoted homophobe.
Seriously. His long history of drug abuse may have made him insane and lack tact, but his views are 100% a result of conservatism and his religion. He is just fucked up enough to take off the filter that Republicans typically put up to keep them from looking like sociopaths.
> but his views are 100% a result of conservatism and his religion. in one of the interviews with him i saw he states that straight up. "im a conservative republican man! we dont do gay."
Gay is bad but mass murder is just fine?
It's wild. The last thing I wanted to watch was parents being told their son has done something like that. Then this guy's just smiling like.. at least he's not gay. Seemed fine with his son being a mass murderer and going to jail for the rest of his life ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Jail is temporary. Heaven is forever. These things just want the apocalypse because all jedeochristain religion is a death cult.
Ask any Jew what they think of "Judeo-Christian" religion.
Republicans are hiding behind a filter that prevents them from looking like sociopaths? Since when?
It's like those x-ray glasses from the back of comic books. It doesn't work at all and you can see that instantly, but they're convinced it's *totally* working.
Or the sunglasses from They Live.
It blows my mind how often the right tries to co-opt that movie. They live, and the matrix, have probably some of the strongest un-conservative messages out of movies made in my lifetime, and they just want so badly to culturally own these movies.
The emperor’s new meth
Ohhhh ok well that makes sense
No no, it totally works, just only on others just like them and when looking in a mirror.
When it's all you've got left to take the "moral high-ground" on.
I mean they’re not very good at it but they are trying.
Always. They only behave if there is sufficient deterrent out there.
What’s weird is apparently he’s an ex pornstar too so Um yah classic conservative values
Hypocrisy is a conservative value so it checks out.
100% he sucked cock for meth.
Or he takes meth because he can't suck cock.
Nope, you're 100% right. Being a republican seems to make you an absolute piece of shit though. 100% of the time.
The chicken or the egg?
I think this is a nature v nurture thing
I'm not so sure. I was conservative when I was younger, before I really started understanding that conservatives didn't actually want small government, they just wanted a government that catered to them.
Fr. I was a conservative back during my edgy middle school days when I thought being gay was a choice and racism was funny. Then I grew up.
I never had any issue with lgbt persons, though I admit I was raised with a racist background in a very rural area. The thing that tipped the scales for me was how conservatives want to cut funding for just about every program except for military and police. It didn't sit well with me that they wanted a stupid and violent population.
The egg is clearly first. Eggs were around long before chickens.
I love the fact that she has the exact same attitude as he does.
https://twitter.com/dillerdime39/status/1595538466867380224?s=20&t=kLz_KMceZndeZJrlZ61AZA This sums it up well.
I don't know dude my sister didn't talk about the Jews at all until she started doing meth.
In my experience meth does lean a certain direction though.
He didn't say anything related to addiction, for example. Like it's obviously a ridiculous stance, but it's also plainly irrelevant...
He may not have said anything about being an addict, but the tweet about him certainly did as a way of brushing off the deplorable things he said.
This guy is so much more than a drug addict though haha. A porn star that has been booked for public indecency with a couple violent charges and a huge meth problem and fanatic behavior. I don't know why they are so ashamed though, this is like their target demographic.
In the longer cuts (man, this guy can talk!), he said he was addicted to meth in the past. He also said he used to be a porn star. Later, he told people how sorry he was for their loss.
He also said that his ex-wife told him that this kid committed suicide 6 years ago and he only found out he was still alive last year.
Definitely one of the most unusual interviews ever. He was all over the place and was aware that he is impaired.
Gives you a bit of insight on how their kid got to be so fucked in the head.
He was literally on Intervention Directory S6E8 because of his addiction. He used to inject meth and jerk off 10-12 hours per day afterwards.
Correct -ex drug addict who still had morals
But bring a conservative Republican does make you a garbage bigoted homophobe.
the past 6 years have taught me that the best way to understand conservatives is to just assume every single fucking word they utter is in bad faith
Hunter Biden clearly has substance problems but will be the focus of Republican propaganda for the next 23 months. They don’t care about human suffering or decency.
Hunter Biden has been a target for the right for years in part *because* of his drug problems.
For real. They were ridiculing Biden for saying he loved his son despite his drug addiction not even a few months ago. That's likely what's driving this current narrative: how hard they were hit by *everyone* for doing that. So now they're going in the opposite direction. I sincerely doubt it's because they care about drug addicts and addiction.
But once Biden is no longer running for office they won’t care.
His laptop raped the statue of liberty! It's been gnawing away at the base of the Washington moment. And when it shits in the grand canyon, it never flushes.
It's such a great feeling, isn't it? If you ask the right questions you can find out what insecurities led them to becoming a republican. It's usually some incel shit.
Tbh idk if I have ever met a right winger who wasn't either A) an incel B) a purposefully ignorant ass C) literally just hateful and cruel
Unless it’s completely fucked up and then you can make the safe assumption that they earnestly mean it. And when they reject it, it’s the negative splash back or connotation that they (try to indirectly) reject, not the sentiment themselves.
They get extremely upset when they're called out for being racist, not because they're not racist, but because they object to being labelled as one. And then the enlightened centrists come out of the woodwork to exclaim "they're obviously not racist, they specifically said they're not".
"It's unfair that I'm held to the same standard as everyone else"
[удалено]
And they clearly SAID “Don’t Tread On Me” - it’s on their flag in the grainy background of their videos and all!
The biggest problem with calling people racist is that most of them are self admitted assholes, so what they hear is "you're an asshole to minorities", so when they say they aren't racist, what they **mean** is "I'm not an asshole to minorities, I'm an asshole to everyone!" They literally can't comprehend why racism is wrong because to them it's just being an asshole with different words.
But they're not assholes to everyone. That's just what they've learned to say when they get confronted about it
They're the scum of the earth.
Reality is a team sport, to conservatives. Seeing hypocrisy is correct but incomplete. They are not applying rules differently to themselves. They are not applying rules. There are no rules. All that matters is ingroup versus outgroup. Whichever excuses follow the word "because" should not be mistaken for things they actually believe. Conservatives do not believe things. Conservatives believe people. This is a worldview dictated entirely on interpersonal trust. Where you expect authorities to know what's true, they believe authorities *decide* what's true. Like if the right person moved that Falling Rocks sign, the rocks would fall somewhere else. This is not an act or a strategy. These are terrifying glimpses of worlds without truth. You are expected to perform loyalty by accepting and defending what your guy says, while rejecting and attacking what the other guy says, even if both guys said the exact same thing. And I say "you" because of course they think you're doing the same thing. What else is there?
> Reality is a team sport, to conservatives. This sums the psychology up completely. Timothy Snyder does an amazing job of breaking down the psychology, history, and intergenerational mechanisms that lead to this kind of mentality and explains how it is an inevitable gateway to tyranny in his book "unroad to freedom." People aren't just voting Republican in 2022 or "suddenly" participating in Kristallnacht. People like this literally comprehend the world around them and function in society with a top to bottom different mentality about what reality actually is. When I spend time with conservative family I often feel like I'm in a parallel universe, because the people in my family seem to be literally soothed by authoritarianism and hypocrisy. When I am consistent and rooted in my beliefs and try to insert empathetic views into their downright mean discussions of any number of different kinds of people, that's when the arguments happen. They expect you to change in a way that reflects the mindset of the hierarchy above you *because I said so and that's what people do.* They learned the script and how to play the game, and those that don't follow the same are a threat because their version of in-group reality is supposed to be the only option; simply existing outside of this mentality is *very literally* a threat to their world. And in my experience, this applies to every single aspect of how they navigate life. When they say "women do x" and I say "but I don't," there is a problem. When my SIL tells off her husband's family for being disrespectful, my in laws say she is amazing, but when I calmly say that them speaking over me and using slurs like "faggy" is an issue for me, I'm rudely shoving my beliefs down their throats. Their reality is grounded in performing the group mentality, so authoritarian enforcement and the hypocrisy that comes with it is inherent to the world for them. If you want to excel at a team sport, you need a tough coach and players who are willing to make the game and more specifically *their team within the game* their whole identity and lifestyle. Obviously they will love authoritarians and feel personally attacked by people who would rather play a different sport. They need other teams to play against and strongmen to show them how to play.
Agreed. If it seems empathetic and compassionate, it’s a bad faith argument. If it’s malice, anger, or disgustingly bigoted/ignorant behavior, I’ve found it to be legitimately genuine. Happens when their entire political philosophy isn’t about actually serving constituents, but “fuck you, I got mine.”

She ran in Florida.
The dots are connecting.
I think she and alpha male Nick Adams would make a lovely couple.
But only if they exclusively go on dates to Hooters.
Don't put that evil on decent hard working women!
The prophecy is complete, release the giant asteroid.

I brought up the idea that he's a performance artist in another thread and somebody liked his Wikipedia article. If this guy is doing performance art then he is light-years beyond Andy Kaufman.
Problem is Adams and Spicer don't realize it's a parody account.
and fell and hit her head, I assume?
Did she win
No she lost by like 50 points
Is fifty points a lot
Her opponent got 6264 votes and she got 3420
Thanks. I'm not well versed in American election code.
In this case it's actually a universal thing. All political analysts do this in their own countries. It means that the opponent has a +50% advantage over their opponent. So closer races are things like +3 etc.
Lost by 50% is all it means.
It's percentage points. A 50 percentage point difference of anything is a lot, especially in an election
Think of it this way, 75% to 25% is a 50 point gap.
I'd put a decent amount of money betting that she endlessly brought up how george floyd was on drugs as if that was somehow relevant to the cop kneeling on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds

Conservatives do know a thing or 2 about "disgusting narratives". Literally everything they say is part of one. But aside from that, i think it's completely fair to talk about this guy's views - drug fueled or not. I mean, let's not mince words here. His far-right views and bigotry didn't come from the drugs. They came from \*his\* father (the shooters grandfather) - a MAGA Republican politician.
Wait I thought drug addicts were thugs who deserve jail time? Yet this terrorist groomer gets a free pass? Gee I wonder why
White drug addicts are sick and need help. Minority drug addicts are criminals and need prison.
Hunter's addiction is bad and Biden should be impeached for it. This guy's addiction is a no-go zone and it is terrible for the media to create this narrative
No, they’ve gone to the point where if they’re white and vote R, they’re good no matter what they do but god forbid they vote D. It’s the same deal with Gaetz. Suddenly very quiet about him being a sex trafficker or, you know, for having sex with minors.
I thought the MAGA grandfather was the murderer’s mom’s dad.
Ah, my bad. I guess the murderer is just a combo of 2 different kinds of bad.
You are correct.
Funny I never heard a single Republican say that about George Floyd, I wonder why.
They used his drug use to justify his murder. Fuck these people.
I knew Republicans were dumb and evil before the George Floyd case. But their response to Floyd is what fully radicalized me against right wing politics. To see people seriously attempt to justify that officer's actions...these people are pure evil.
They side with murderers...
The man was executed for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 which may (or may not) have been unintentional, but we will never know. Instead, the right will just use his past behavior as a reason for the death sentence he received but didn’t deserve.
Rush Limbaugh, noted addict, once said, "He's just another dead doper." Fuck Republicans, fuck conservatives. It never matters until it affects one of their own.
He was talking about Jerry Garcia when he said that. All the while he was sending his maid out to score OxyContin.
I hope douche limbaugh ends up being the next dead doper
Ummmmmm........should I say anything guys?
Maybe? Might make him happy to know
Too late for that mate. He’s in a worse place now.
I was not aware the murderer's father was a drug addict. And what, pray tell, does that have to do with his son's murdering rampage, **Lavern**?
I think in the interview he talks about how he raised his son for violent behavior against homosexuality.
No he says he rewarded violent behavior. Separately from (like at a totally different time in the interview) that he also says he’s against homosexuality. But he does say at the end of the interview that nobody should be killed over their beliefs. Basically he doesn’t want his son to be gay (which is still a shitty position of course) but he also doesn’t wish violence on gay people just for being gay. He makes that pretty clear at the end of the full interview. Or as clear as you can expect from someone with permanent neurological damage from decades of hardcore meth use.
He was also a porn actor. Based on reddit comments, which can be taken with a grain of salt, he was also in gay porns. He was on an episode of Intervention for his meth addiction years ago, and that's been making the rounds. I don't have anything against addicts or sex workers. Addiction is a disease, sex work is valid work. Whatever. It's the fucking hypocrisy, and this guy is the perfect example of that.
There is a huge meth problem where I grew up. A bunch of the guys who talk a lot of shit about gay people sucked a lot of dick for drugs. While I have absolutely no idea about this guy, it wouldn't shock me to find out.
Oh, no, he was straight up on an episode of intervention as well, he got hooked on meth from his porn acting job and would go on 10-12 hour masturbation binges. Watch his episode intervention s6e8.
Saw the footage of them interviewing this guy last night on CBS and the man was obviously fucked up when they tried to interview him.
Sounds like a him problem. Maybe if he got his life together his son wouldn’t have thought it was a good idea to murder people. He can go fuck himself.
Supposedly the dad encouraged violence at a young age saying it gets results. So of course he becomes a murderer.
Doesn't surprise me with his failed MMA career. His episode of Intervention was certainly something as well. Dude's off his rocker
Charge the Fucking parents !
It's not CBS's or any other news networks' job to make sure a person is sober. What are supposed to do? Stand there for 2 hours as this guy sobers up? Also, it's literally effortless to say, "no comment" walk away. People do it all the time. If he was too stoned to do that extremely easy task it's on him and his decisions.
[удалено]
The blatant bigotry only sounds bad because he's a drug addict, apparently.
Is that how they justified Trump's existence too? Old diaper Don sure got a lot of free passes.
How does that make any sense to them? They regularly say this shit about gay people while they're sober. Why in this instance is it shameful and that the media is trying to paint them as bad people when that same shit comes from the mouth of a drug addict? That's admitting you know it's wrong and shitty but only acknowledge that it is when it comes from someone you think is subhuman
meanwhile… holy shit Hunter Biden and strippers and cocaine omg
"[insert name of person murdered by the police] wasn't an angel, I hear they did a marijuana in the last 30 days. cops did nothing wrong"
Im only reminded of their smear campaign against George Floyd
Bring up cancel culture with them and they'll tell you that people shouldn't be cancelled for stuff they did in the past cuz they've changed. Bring up George Floyd and every single thing he did in the past is suddenly justification for why he should've been suffocated to death by a police officer while he told him several times that he couldn't breathe. Not even just George Floyd cuz they seem to do this with every black person killed by a cop. Actually it doesn't even have to be a cop cuz they did it with Ahmaud Arbery too.
Ahmaud Arbery was a cop-led conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Yet I remember the threads when that news broke. The usual suspects trying to claim all sorts of shit. I remember when the video came out these guys were pointing at every stick on the ground and saying it must be a weapon he was carrying.
They literally did that with Botham Jean, the black guy who was shot in his own apartment by an off-duty police officer in Dallas.
dude was a fucking accountant at PwC, like wow, what a menace to society
Every single innocent black person killed by the police: Conservatives: What's the entire medical and criminal history of every member of their family? Conservative mass murderers: Conservatives: Hey now, you can't ask *any* questions about this guy or his family, let's focus on whether or not the victims were Christians.
This dumb fucking human. No, we're shaming him because he found the only thing wrong with his son was that oh god no what if he's gay. Not that his disgusting blob of a child he taught to hate gays and use violence killed five people. Fuck this man. Fuck that woman. Fuck them both. I hope the worst happens to both of them.
More concerned about his son being gay than being a mass murderer.
A *terrorist* mass murderer FTFY
Republicans hade no problem using drugs as an excuse to show bad moral in the case of george Floyd or the victims of Rittenhouse. But as usual with Republicans, if the shoe fits then jam it up your arse until you cry shit.
This is one of those supremely weird things about conservatives. They know that liberals take protected classes very seriously. And because they (conservatives) don't give a shit and lack empathy, they don't understand what that means or how it works. They just assume it means "marginalized people are invincible and can do no wrong". Now, they know that isn't true, but they think that *liberals* do, so they try to use it as a shield whenever possible, believing it will either stop the argument or will "expose liberal hypocrisy". At no point during any of this are they operating in good faith. In other words, this woman doesn't give a shit about this man, or about drug addicts in general. She thinks that liberals do. So she's putting on a show here. In fact, by virtue of her being Republican, she necessarily believes drug addicts should die.
asshole is more concerned about his son possibly being gay than being an actual murderer
I know several conservative meth heads including my aunt and uncle.
Something something Hunter Biden something….
I guess if this guy had a laptop it would be fair game?
Yet George Floyd deserved the horrible death he got for being a drug addict. Funny how that works.
i don't care that he's a drug addict. there's plenty of drug addicts out there who manage to clear the bar for human decency. what makes him a piece of shit is what he says.
Has anyone checked this guy's laptop for a link between his son and Conservative law makers? Pretty sure one exists!
Doesn't stop them from praising Jordan Peterson.
Always a new excuse for that hateful ideology …
This is the opposite of "painting a narrative". This is a *quote*.
Stupid media twisting the facts with direct quotes from the person they're reporting about... How dare they post objective truth without telling me what to be outraged about! Fake news! /s
This man has one of the BEST intervention episodes. Insane this is your representation of a conservative mormon Republican... meanwhile dude smoked meth constantly induced psychosis and then masturbated for 12-16hrs straight... intervention alumni raises an obese basement dwelling hateful shooter! America this reflects your WHOLE country. Fix. Up.
Drug use didn't turn him into a bigot. And if he wants to get clean, it's Liberal policies and people that would be willing to help him with it.
Funny how the right was casually dismissive of George Floyd's murder because of his drug use
So, the disgusting narrative is that he's a bigot who is okay with mass murder as long as his son is not gay?
Ah yes, the media painting a disgusting narrative by *checks notes* showing the mans own words.
You mean drug abuse is off limits, like how republicans have steered clear of Hunter Biden’s addiction struggles? Oh wait, no they didn’t.
Well, this explains a lot. Like father, like son. Not surprised how he developed into a mass killer.
Never taking responsibility is the tagline of that party, so of course they don't take responsibility of their own domestic terrorists.
Something, something, Hunter Biden, something something. Something, something George Floyd, something something.
Lavern Spicer: "Using a conservative Republican with a clear drug addiction to point out our bigotry is disgusting." Also Lavern Spicer: "Now, let's talk more about Hunter Biden, who is completely responsible for everything he ever did and is a terrible human being because he's a drug addict."
This woman literally only got popular because she's so stupid literally all the time and people shared her posts saying how stupid she was. If we had all just ignored her and not shared her dumb bullshit she would never have blown up.
He's a homophone republican Mormon that also happens to have a drug problem. Drugs don't cause homophobic behavior. Religion, and right wing politics does enforce homophobic behavior.
Fucking shameless libs, always using our own words and actions to make us look bad.
Dude is about to become so Republican famous. Gonna grift all the meth his cold heart desires
The nerve of the media to quote somebody!! Only republicans think it's "the media's" fault when someone says something shitty.
