I'm gonna be straight and weak as fuck, thank you very much.

She lost the primary to an apparently equally bad but less flamboyantly evil republican candidate. A win, but not as much of one as many of these headlines are making it sound.

Yup. Unfortunately, that's how most GOP primaries play out these days. Take your pick: weird MAGA cultist (literally insane), gun-fellating psycho (worst of military), extremely wealthy carpetbagger (buddy/donor), very wealthy businessman ("conservative"/anti-tax). Bonus for DEI hiring women and non-whites.

declarations that she would protect Missouri from the “transgender industry."

She won't let Big Transgender get a foothold in her state.

“Well I like that she hates trans people, but I can’t vote against the free market.”

And if you're both you're a bottom

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Power Bottoms are gonna beat you up for that.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I definitely don’t want to look it up, but what’s a power bottom?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Think of it like the dominant vs submissive dichotomy kinda. Not all men who take dick are dainty little twigs, some like a challenge, some take control.

Gotcha, that makes a lot more sense than what I was imagining.

Thanks!

You are so wrong nephew

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

She’s definitely a lesbian

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

But what about those poor submissive bottoms who want to be weak and gay?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The only decent thing she's done is have trigger discipline in that picture, but I bet even that took a few attempts.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 1 month ago

"Keep your booger hook off the bang switch" as my Dad used to say.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

She would've won if she threw a hotdog and big gulp on that bike then jacked a guy off in a movie theater.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Great to see this happen.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Is that a real picture?
