    “Incel-isation of the modern GOP”? OK, apart from the point that “modern” and “GOP” don’t really go together, this just means no sane female member of the human race wants to touch a Republican even with a 10-foot pole?

      He is closeted gay man his homophoiba screams it. Democrats should kick him out of office next year. We need Democrats to take a super majority in both chambers.

        Could we not use “he is secretly gay” as an insult or as a witch hunt? Like, I don’t see why that even needs to be elaborated on in the 2020s.

        We can comment on hateful bigots and hypocrites without dragging down one of the demographics who are particularly under threat from said bigots.

          It’s not bad if he’s gay. It’s bad if his policies are disingenuous. If he’s gay, then there’s an extra reason he shouldn’t support anti-gay legislation.

          He did adopt a 14 year old black boy when he was first married to his wife. I can’t find any information about the kid now or find any family pictures of them together. Sounds pretty sketchy to me.

            I actually looked it up yesterday

            So the son has been an adult for a while and allegedly has his own family, and asked not to be put in the spotlight. Which makes it confusing when he occasionally brings up his black son by name to speak to race issues, but he generally goes around saying he has 4 children instead of 5. He does generally seem to actually take a reasonable principled stance on black race issues (specifically), but I have no idea what to make of all that

            He’s a weird dude all over. I wasn’t sure what to make from him, but it seemed like maybe has actual principles (not good ones, but genuinely held). Learning more about him hasn’t really improved my opinion of him…

        • Because liberal concern trolls don’t give 2 fucks about being hypocrites. They kept talking about how Trumps wife was a pornstar a couple years ago too, because she’s a former model that posed topless once or twice. Meanwhile they idealize and elevate actual pornstars and would scream if anyone insulted based on their profession.

            No, he cheated on his wife with a porn star, who then told lots of people about it.
