    “Women are too emotional to vote, they should only have firearms instead” is parody material.

      It’s right up there with the GOP forcing kids to have babies but don’t want to lower the voting age to 16 because “they’re too immature”.

        It’s called second-order thinking. Most of them don’t have it. They are slowly replacing any of their leaders that can do it.

          There’s a picture of a girl with a similar build and hair as Kaitlyn. This girl is passed out face down with an enormous pile of shit resting on her thighs. While I can’t say for certain it is her in that picture, someone once asked her if she shit herself at a frat party and her response was “why are you talking about that?”

            To add on to the other part, cringe things she’s done on college campuses, she routinely goes back to try and debate with college kids about politics using all sorts of weird false dichotomies and shit. She usually gets out debated by the kids she’s bothering. She’s a crazed religious zealot and a bat shit libertarian fundamentalist.

              So she, a college graduate (I assume; I’m far too lazy to look it up) goes back to college to debate people who aren’t as educated as her.

              Like Crowder.

              I mean…talk about shooting fish in a barrel.

    Probably the weirdest thing about modern American politics, to me, is the fact that the myth that left-wingers favor government intervention and right-wingers favor individual liberty still holds, when it’s so bludgeoningly obvious that the opposite is in fact true.

    At this point, it’s pretty much just a given if you read an article about some government banning something - denying some right or another - that it’s the right that’s doing it. That’s become their response to everything - whatever it is, we need to ban it. We need to get the government to interfere in everything, all the time.

    Yet somehow, dunderheads continue to hold to this brazenly inaccurate myth that the left is the big government side and the right is the individual liberty side.

    It’s just weird to me, and not weird in a scoffing, cynicsl way - weird in an entirely alien, this doesn’t even begin to even make sense way. It’s as if right-wingers are running around, alternately billing themselves as the “don’t get punched in the mouth” party and punching themselves in the mouth.

    “See?! [Punch] If you vote for us [Punch] you won’t get punched! [Punch] We’re the party [Punch] that takes a stand against [Punch] punching! [Punch].”
