School choice activist Corey DeAngelis participated in a GayHoopla adult film called “Super Star Compilation! How Many Strokes Til You Cum?!” before writing his book, The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.
Are we sure this isn't The Onion?
This is the same timeline that fails (refuses?) to recognize the dystopian overlap of 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Idiocracy, Margaret Atwood, ... and its own blithely un-ironic trajectory, right?
It’s always projection. Every fucking time.
I don’t want to accuse the GOP of pedophilia, but so many of their accusations have been admissions that it disgusting to even contemplate.
Why do they have to be this way? What happened to these Republicans? Are they genuinely held beliefs or is it all just opportunism?
ETA: does it matter? 🙁
I'm not a psychologist but there has to be some deep-seated self-loathing from repressing their true sexuality/identity for decades. Or maybe they subconsciously feel "if I can't be who I want to be, you can't either."
I am a Psychologist. They gain status from being assholes, because enough people privilege assholes with status. Authoritarianism requires an outgroup to oppress, and people think that hostility and oppression is 'strength'. The original theory (which is not entirely supported by evidence) of the Authoritarian Personality is based on Freud, and it says that a similar family dynamic of a powerful father who arbitrarily abuses and oppresses others is the basis.
I've got a theory on this: They have gay urges and therefor think everyone has them, so they believe that everyone needs to "choose to be straight" and it's just weak sinners who are giving into their urges.
Also to grandparent: it's allllllll projection with conservatives.
Not every repressed gay person is a cunt. Not every cunt is a repressed gay person.
But some of these aggresively anti-LGBT+ cunts sure look like they're in the intersection.
Edit: IDK if the phrasing "repressed gay" works in English? If it's wrong, let me know
Repressed gay works just fine tbh, most people probably use "closeted" but that's more colloquial.
However, referring to a gay person as a "gay" can be a bit problematic as it strips their personhood from the statement. A lot of bigots will refer to gay people that way to imply they are lesser. I dunno if that's how it works in other languages, but at least in English it's generally more respectful to refer to groups as people specifically. So you'd always say "gay people" or "black people" and etc.
Fixed that then. I chose repressed over closeted, as I feel it emphasises the point that they're pushing themselves deeper into the closet, but maybe that's a linguistic nuance I'm misunderstanding.
She also questioned how the video of her dancing at a club would be released before videos of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein – both of whom prosecutors allege engaged in sex acts with minors – are released to the public.
Because you were at a public party, you dumb fuck.
Also I don't want to see those other videos
I want juries to, but I’d really rather not be on those juries. I feel like I’d need therapy after seeing those videos
Every accusation is a confession.
Yes. Literally every single one.
I wonder who of them eats cats and dogs. Probably RFK
Well, he said he ate dog and also at the very least tries to eat bear.
I think you mean, "Drag queens caught partying with GOP candidate who called them pedophiles."
Do drag queens know everyone who comes at the club/venue they're performing?
The point of the comment wasn't to blame the drag queens. It was to reverse the implicit shame of being, "caught," that's in the title, giving the connotation that it's shameful or embarrassing to associate with the GOP candidate, not the other way around. It was just a little quip that I'm sure I've made much funnier with this explanation.
Likely he believes his open propaganda and was hoping to hangout with pedos.
Imagine being so young and having so much hate in you.
I pity that woman.
Knowing how much the Gaggle Of Pedophiles likes to project, maybe she showed up expecting something at that party.
I love how she said she gets along with everyone and still went on to say that it's "impossible to walk around New York City without running into a mentally ill fa***t." Like, who do you think you're referring to with that statement? Because it seems to me she's referring to the drag queen she "gets along with." At least the hypocrisy remains consistent.
drag queens have a right to... drag? personal life doesn't impact professional life or affect any parties not involved. People should be able to find their happiness in this fucked up world.
And to be more clear. I'm criticizing people who have let their upbringing convince them that something that is none of their business somehow impacts their personal life
Interesting that GOP will list things that they are opposed to and then go and do them. We better make sure this dude isn't a pedo.
Another example of people thinking they can't be who they really are, so choose to hate the ones who can.
This nazi shithead should get hers for terrorist statements. I hope that happens. Fuck this hypocrite
Republicans never claimed not to be pedophiles, so I think that's on us for assuming
Does she really think drag shows involve showing genitals?
So, does that mean she’s a pedophile? At least according to himself?
Edit: didn’t read, assumed it had been a dude
With the amount of 'blaming others of what ails yourself'that the hope are doing, the chance is very likely
Ew, why would they party with him?
It's a She and her name is Valentina Gomez.
I'mma guess there's good reason he got...exposed.
I bet that party was a rager. I hope she had a great time. She’ll never be invited to one again.
Every accusation is a confession.
Sounds like a confession.
Tbh I never seen a lgbtq person who was a pdf file ever in my life only once
I'm sure someone can send you some gay porn in a PDF if you really want them to.
💀😭
I've yet to as well. It is my community so biased perspective but I have met soooo many queers with odd kinks and not a single one is into kids. Many were abused themselves as kids (not always sexually but still) and have no interest in repeating that on anyone else.
This is such a weird phenomena, but also a sad one. I'm assuming she does enjoy partying with drag queens but is so ashamed about it that she decides to compensate by rallying against them, sort of like how staunch anti-gay politicians are often caught in gay acts.
Or maybe it was just some drunken lapse of her """moral beliefs""", can't really tell.
