These people aren't guffawing because they think the jokes are funny.
They are guffawing out of, essentially, a feeling of giddy dominance: look at how casually-racist we can all be, and still have a coinflip chance at visiting horrors upon our fellow Americans and those who make American life hum along!
Think of it more like...well, like rooooooock, chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalk, jay-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaawk, kaaaaaaaaaaay youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. On its own, it is a silly thing that does not make sense to do. But in the context of what it is and what it represents, it is perfectly rational as both an action and a symbol.

“Owning the libs”.
BTW, you should maybe not compare MAGA to being a Jayhawk.
I know it doesn’t bother the dipshits here who never enrolled at Kansas, but it does kinda pinch those of us that did.

mob-mentality can be strong, particularly when driven by our ugliest, most base of emotions
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago
Casa Pescado hosted a casual dinner last night.
One of the guests was the late-20s son of one of the couples also in attendance.
The couple is comfortably off, and the son lives at home (and is largely still on the $$ teat in ways additional to not paying rent), although he does make an income that would support him living, independently, a perfectly reasonable lifestyle for his age.
The discussion turned to Covid and its aftermath (the son and the couple fully aware that they were the only Rs at the table).
The son, who certainly at least codes hard-MAGA, broke into a Randy-esque social engineering bit, about how our government response was influenced by people who wanted Americans to rely on the state and never actually return to work, and about how young and/or lazy Americans now want to be able to set their own rules for how and where they work for the rest of time, etc.
All the while oblivious to how ridiculous of a thing that is to say for someone making his particular life choices (and enabled by his parents making their own particular life choices).
Epilogue: later in the conversation, in a discussion about testing and surveillance and lockdowns etc., the son took the Randy-esque position that the lockdowns were unconstitutional and oppressive and needless and so on. One of the other guests, who recently retired from her position as a hospital executive, described the experience of watching her best friend die of Covid in a hallway of her hospital for a lack of ventilators.

it’s a bit freudian that the child happens to be female

I'd bet his recent PornHub searches line up with that part of his speech pretty closely.

CNN has banned a conservative commentator from appearing on the network again after he told a Muslim journalist "I hope your beeper doesn't go off," an apparent reference to the spate of exploding pagers in Lebanon that killed members of the Hezbollah militant group last month.
Ryan Girdusky made the comment during a heated debate with Mehdi Hasan, a prominent British-American broadcaster and an outspoken critic of Israel's war in Gaza, on "CNN Newsnight" with host Abby Phillip…
what is wrong with people?

Gotta be relatable, you know. So corny. Nothing says "he knows my plight" as a cosplay billionaire stumbling into the cab of a garbage truck while wearing a clean, pressed button down dress shirt.

Kinda funny watching Democrats make Trump dance like a little organ grinder monkey. They say he cant relate to them due to his upbringing and he is out there stumbling around unsuccessfully trying to figure out how to do five things in order at a fry station and struggling to open his own door for the first time.KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2024 8:46 ammaybe a cosplay billionaire manning the drive-thru and the “thing that makes the fries”?
