    This is like when Tim Walz was running for VP and called republicans “weird.” And we all got it, and understood it, and it was a popular bit of messaging that resonated with people. Because, let’s face it, they’re fucking weird.

    But then the democrats were like “oh no! but you might offend someone!” so they stopped the popular messaging that resonated with voters and didn’t use it again right before failing.

    Look, making fun of someone for their appearance isn’t the classiest thing to do, but when you’re talking about a group that’s literally worshiping at the feet of a golden altar of protecting pedophiles, you take the shots you can. And whatever hurts their feelings the most, well, I’m ok with it. We don’t always have to take the high ground. Sometimes you gotta hit’em where it hurts.

      No. This makes you no better than a MAGAt attacking AOC for her appearance because you’re too dim witted to make a good argument against her politics. It brings you down to the level of someone harrasing a transgender person because they don’t “pass”

      This is not the way.

      ETA: Also Tim Walz wasn’t attacking a single individual woman based solely on her appearance. He was attacking republican politics. HE was doing it right. This is NOT that.

            I mean, you’re right. I should be above it. But I’m not. Fuck that ghoul of a woman. Elitist rich bitch got her face all fucked up so she could fit in with a big group of pedophile protectors. Fuck her and her weird ass face. Hope every time she looks in the mirror she’s haunted by the ghosts of pedophiles past, present, and future.

            And again, I know I should be better than this. But I’m not. Fuck her.

              Ye, I understand. I guess I’m just calling that out because I want to be better, and I think we as a society should be better. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t understand.

              For where she’s standing, and what that says about her beliefs and for the complicity it represents, I also say fuck her.
