'I Don't Give a Shit What Kristi Noem's Husband Does, I Care About What She's Doing to Everyone Else' [View all]

(Jojofromjerz) "Just to be crystal clear, I don’t give a fuck what Kristi Noem’s husband is into when it comes to his sexuality, unless it’s illegal, because what a grown ass adult does in the privacy of their own life, in their own home, in the quiet, unmonitored, uninvited corners of their own existence, is not up for public consumption or public exploitation, no matter what those sanctimonious, self-satisfied MAGA-stupid shit-stirrers think, and the fact that this even has to be said out loud right now is a pretty damning reflection of just how far gone this shit has gotten."

"I don’t care if her husband wants to turn himself into a 'bimbo Barbie.' I really don’t."

"What I do care about is people like Kristi Noem trying to police everyone else’s personal choices when it comes to theirs, inserting themselves into the most intimate, interior, deeply human aspects of other people’s lives with the invasive enthusiasm of someone rifling through drawers that were never theirs to open, all while pretending this compulsive, almost voyeuristic obsession with other people’s identities is somehow noble, somehow necessary, somehow about 'protecting' anyone from anything other than their own discomfort with a world that refuses to shrink itself down to their narrow, brittle definition of acceptable."

"Because what we’re watching right now isn’t morality, it’s a baroque little pageant of power and projection, a velvet-draped, Bible-quoting, pearl-clutching performance where the same crowd that couldn’t survive under their own rules is out here trying to legislate everyone else’s existence into something smaller, quieter, and easier for them to tolerate, a kind of ideological pickpocketing happening in broad daylight while they’ve got you staring at the sideshow."
