No idea about who she is, didn't even read the post first, just noticed her dead eyes and (bulletproof) combat vest, and immediately realized that she is probably a replublican.
I then read the text, and was more confused, but leaning toward her being pro MAGA.
It's crazy to look at these people and just see the layers of the onion. Here is a person who knows she's doing wrong. It's written on her face. And yet, she puts on a defensive layer and keeps right on trudging forward with tears in her eyes as she digs deeper and deeper into her hole.
Mike Johnson is another one of these. You can look at him and know that his smug little grin is a thin veneer trying to keep the outside world from realizing that he knows how wrong he is and somewhere in there absolutely hates himself. Even with Trump and Vance, it's written all over their faces. They spend every day fighting it, denying it, trying not to let themselves look, but you can see in their eyes that they can't help it. They know, and they keep on anyway despite themselves.
It would be so easy for any of them to just let go of all that and start trying to help people. To listen to that part of themselves they desperately try to shut up day in and day out. To stop feigning ignorance and try to make things better. They could pick any second to just stop poisoning themselves for a sake of a sunken cost cult mentality held up by people who feel just as sick about their own decisions.
Stop thinking these people think they're wrong or have any doubts. I know people like this. Beneath the first onion layer is just rot.
Everybody knows they're bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
I do think there's a sizeable difference between having deeply buried shame about what they're doing and actually having doubts that make their way to the surface where they could actually change the behavior.
I know these people. This hate is their real religion. They listen to the sermons of Fox News and conservative radio more then their actual preacher and more then their own families. One of them has a homoerotic, nearly pornographic, and very much photoshopped poster of Donald Trump hanging in his workshop. Another has 25% of his workshop covered in conservative bumper stickers. Their hatred for "others" and their condescension for anyone with empathy is their pride.
I see what you are trying to say, but that is giving these people far too much credit
The combat vest is because they really really want someone to take a shot at them because that way they can actually be the victim they envision themselves as.
If she just wandered around on the street not wearing anything no one would know who she was and would totally ignore her. That's totally unacceptable so out comes the combat vest.
shes one of the reps of NC i believe, she got her position, because she was using her "military service" as a campaign tactic.
Plate carrier*
But it's all performative to these wicked fuckers. I'd wager she doesn't even have any ceramic in there.
Thanks for correcting me on the terminology!
Yeah, makes sense that she is only using it as a prop
Not correcting as much as clarifying. For some reason I find the word "correcting" insulting. May be a personal prejudice, but I didn't mean to insult you.
You absolutely did not insult me, I would have made it absolutely clear if I believed that you had.
You're a rockstar homie.
American Taliban
Just different skin tones than the actual Taliban. Otherwise pretty verbatim.
