Showing Original Post only (View all)This is what young Trumpers look like - they aren't the paunchy, middle-aged Bubbas [View all]
hanging out at a truck stop in Dumbfuckistan that WaPo reporters love to write about. They're these assholes - urban, well-connected, what were formerly called yuppies:
This sets most visible political stance is a reaction to what it sees as the lefts puritanical obsessions with policing language and talking about identity. A joke about Puerto Ricans or eugenics or sleeping with Nick Fuentes could throw a pack of smokers outside Butterworths into a gigglefest. Recounting her time at one of the balls, a woman tells me she jumped the velvet rope into a VIP section like a little Mexican. Then she lets out a cackle. This is the posture that has attracted newcomers to the cause. Six months into Biden being president, I was like, I cant fucking do this anymore, says a 19-year-old New Yorker who once quite literally had blue hair and attends Marymount Manhattan, which he describes as 75 percent women and 23 percent trannies. He had supported Biden, but I hate watching the things I say. I took a much farther horseshoe around this time. Later, a former Bernie supporter (who looked like the most Bernie-supporting person one could imagine with long, curly hair and a plaid shirt) told me the same: He wanted the freedom to say faggot and retarded.

They're worse than the Bubbas because they should fucking know better.

They do get upset. That's their problem. That people say bad things about them if they say these things.

What they really want is to be able to use language like "faggot" and "retard"
