    If she and MAGA were vegan, and there were pics of him scarfing down hot dogs like Joey Chestnut, you know they would be making fun of that. It has nothing to do with the act of what he’s doing. It’s how it reflects on her with their own self-imposed criteria.

      You can tell lemmy is mostly white cishet men by comments like this. Gee, I wonder if there would be a difference between making fun of him for being a hotdog eater and him crossdressing as a woman. Is there, perchance, some other factors in our social and cultural context that would make one of these things more relevant to discussions on harmful values? Think about someone other than yourself and how they are effected by the normalization of jokes that targets a man for being a disgusting crossdresser and how that is a validation of your own perception of him as a morally depraved, social pariah. You think that maybe you uh, have some internalized values you aren’t challenging there bud?

      That you think you are just making fun of him “for being a hypocrite” is itself an indicator of how fucking vulnerable liberals are to fascist ideology. When I joke about liberals throwing me in a camp, the joke is not that it would be absurd for liberals to have camps, but rather how absurd it is to see how obviously incapable you all are of even grappling with what is wrong with fascists even though you purportedly hate them.
