Stephen Miller has been dodging my challenges to a fist fight for a solid year. If anyone is a soy beta bitch boy, it’s him.
I appreciate your enthusiasm but I’d be worried about my skin touching his by any means. I might catch whatever is living on his skin.
Why are all of these conservatives so fucking weird and this obsessed with trans people?
Because if women can become people, then their whole thing starts to sound stupid.
They’re not sorting whites and blacks and men and women and poors and wealthy.
They are sorting people out of a pool of “not people.” If, all of a sudden, a woman could become a real person…
See it doesn’t work. It’s the part we keep forgetting.
Cause we are their favorite porn category.

if you seen the stephen’s HS VIDEO about miller hes always been this way from the get-go
Republicans must be scared of Talarico. His message seems to resonate with his base. He’s a white christian man, so in other words “Just a great guy!” in their view.
Also, he’s not afraid to call out the establishment. The republican base likes that kind of stuff, they’ve just been misled into believing that “the establishment” means jews and diversity hires instead of corporate-financial oligarchs and their political lackeys.
Talarico has been pretty effective at meeting these people where they’re at and redirecting their ire towards the oligarchy where it belongs.
That must terrify republican politicians.
If he can’t win, I don’t see how anyone could. Like Paxton is so blatantly corrupt that it’s laughable he was even allowed to run in the primary.

Keep that going, please?
Take Texas. Then take Florida. Then take Ohio. (That last once can either flip or secede, I don’t care).
First we need to stop chasing cishetero white men out of progressive politics. There are some districts where they’re the only ones who stand a chance, unfortunately. We don’t have to like it for it to be true.
Full stop: no one is chasing out cishetero men. We need them to make more gaybies.
What’s happening is conservatives are convincing voters they are the only ones that accept them. That needs to stop. Fuck, let’s just add a grey strip to the pride flag.
Conservatives wouldn’t be able to convince them of that if there wasn’t a part of it that rings true with their personal experience.
And I can tell you that as a cishet white guy I’ve found it extremely difficult to participate in progressive spaces. It often feels like I’m not welcome at all, or that I’m only welcome as long as I keep my mouth shut. I’ve felt like I was being used as a punching bag by people who didn’t have anywhere else to direct their misplaced rage, and no one has ever cared that I experience problems too. If I even so much as mention a problem that I face or the fact that I face problems, I get absolutely trashed for it.
Pretending no one is chasing cishetero white men out of progressive spaces is not going to solve the issue. We’re not welcome on women’s spaces. We’re not welcome in BIPOC spaces. We’re not welcome in queer spaces. What’s left? Cause I guarantee you if someone tried starting a progressive space specifically for cishetero white men, then everyone would be furious.
And even if there were spaces that encompassed all identities under a common progressive umbrella, cishetero white men would still be the red-headed step child of those spaces.
They only feel that way because of propaganda designed to inflame their latent bigotry and cowardice.
Sure, just dismiss the personal experience that I’m relating to you just because you don’t believe it. I’m sure that’s just just prejudice talking. Oh wait.
Propaganda is a part of it, yes, but if it didn’t have a kernel of truth that people felt then it could never take root. It takes advantage of a critical exploit, which is the disillusionment and rejection that many of these people already face.
As a cishet white guy myself, I have to agree… to a point. Part of being an ally at this point in time really is a matter of just shutting the fuck up and listening. Allowing our presence alone to be our contribution and support. Allowing others to speak and lead. Not trying to correct people or broadcast our opinions. If folks want to hear us they’ll ask. If they seem upset at you as a proxy for our demographic, don’t get defensive. It’s reasonable for marginalized groups to hate and fear us. Take it on the chin. Change and healing takes time, you can’t expect to walk into these spaces and get VIP treatment. You’ll have to earn that.
Yeah okay I’ll shut up and listen, but I won’t stand there and be treated like a punching bag, and if they expect to be able to talk shit to me and I’m not even allowed to stand up for myself, then those people aren’t my friends, they’re bullies. And I don’t like bullies.
I have a history of trauma and abuse, I’ve been bullied and treated like shit. But nobody cares about my problems, in any context. I’m not gonna let people abuse me and treat me like shit out of some perceived sense of righteous indignation that they’re projecting onto me because I’m an easier target than the people who actually abused them and treated them like shit. Fuck that.
they seem quite uncommon, most of them are conservative are pretty center right like newsome, and biden, part of it likely has to due with mysogyny and status quo of men over women in politics. and added some gays that some straight men are very afraid of being hitted on.
Gee I wonder why they’re not more common. I guess you can continue making the same generalized assumptions that you already held, even though I literally just explained why many of them who are progressive don’t feel welcome in progressive spaces.

Once again reminding everyone that “Israelis” and “Jews” are not the same thing.
I don’t understand why miller doesnt have 1000 slander and libel suits against him right now
he insulates himself much like teflon don, with racists/ conservative hacks that are willing to protect them. a gang leadership always insulate themselves with the lower ranks.
You mean Don Jr, who just recently married the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein’s banker?
They are going to harp on Trans-everything this year, which affects almost nobody, because it’s all they’ve got. They’ve got nothing successful to point to, or even something that has the potential to be successful. They can’t criticize Dems, because they’re right about EVERYTHING, and they don’t want to point it out.
If you hear a MAGA going on about Trans stuff, ask them how many trans people they know,.or have ever known. When they tell you none, tell them to worry about stuff that’s real, like their empty fridge.
At the local level, we have a guy who runs for the school board every goddamn election. All he cares about it trans kids. It’s all he talks about.
Last meeting, I stood up and asked him “Why do you spend so much time thinking about little kids’ dicks?” and that man didn’t say another fucking word the next 45 minutes. Really looking forward to the next school board meeting lmao. Gonna keep asking him why he’s so obsessed with children’s dicks until he stops talking about it or tries to fight me.
That’s what you have to do, keep shaming them, turning it on them, put them on the defense, chase them out. MAGAs and Anti-Vaxxers are the last two groups for which bullying is not only allowed, but strongly encouraged. Mock them, abuse them, shun them, fire them, call them names, laugh at them, cheat them, ignore them, discriminate against them, waste their time, etc.
Not just dicks, ask him why he is so fixated on all children’s genitals. Clearly you think about children’s genitals a lot, do you have an issue with that? Have you talked to a therapist about that? Have you ever had trouble with the police regarding children? Do you have children yourself? What would CPS say if we asked them about you?
Someone make an edit of Lois doing the 9-11 thing when she was running for office but make it trans-gender (I’m at work)
Republicans get to throw the most vile, puerile insults at anyone. Meanwhile, that girl will have to resign, relocate, and probably change her name.
No she got an office cake
katie miller called him(stephen) the matadar in thier sex fetish"
Stephen is just resentful because he has the appeal of an infected hangnail.
He looks like a cross between Nosferatu and one of the martians from Mars Attacks.
He looks like voldemort with the soul of jk rowling
maga-mind.
cant physically strangle a hooker, thats why hes so frustrated. its a meme going around about miller.
A human polyp
Yeah, better than losing a toe isn’t a very high bar.
Thanks for posting this.
These days i sometimes get sad from the things happening in the world. Those moments i try and remind myself that despite all those things happening, at least my country isn’t run by US politicians.
I’m a brit and we have around 3 years to point and laugh at the US until we get our own Poundland version.
Germany and France also appear a bit shakey on this front 🤦
Capitalism is not a stable foundation to build a democracy on top of.
When this started about ten years ago or whatever, you guys were about 5 years behind.
Taking your 3-year at face value it makes sense because this shit accelerated very damn quickly.
Fair chance we would vote them in now if there was an election, although Elmo Musk is currently funding a even more far right party which might split the vote 🤣.
The three years is just the timeframe before an election has to be held.
Fuck this. You guys have been leading the global charge against trans rights for ages. At least own your shit.
I don’t get it. Is this person not transgender or something?
No, he’s a cisgender heterosexual male - but he just so happens to have progressive political views, and that absolutely frightens the right-wing nutjobs.
He’s also specifically running as a Christian who opposes Christian Nationalism which is the most terrifying thing about him to the GOP. They know full well that being able to use the Christian label is the only thing they need for low information voters to vote for them, especially in the South. If they lose the stranglehold they have on that label they are well and truly fucked.
hes also a christian too, but that doesnt matter for magats, becauses not thier brand of “christianity”
He’s not.
He’s also not vegan, but that’s another accusation his opposition is using. Because I guess there’s nothing Texans hate more than (checks notes) … tofu?
All he would have to say is “I’m not. I just really fucking love beans” and a photo of him in a canned beans meme and all the young voters would vote for him.
He actually came out and said that as an 8th generation Texan, he LOVES Barbecue. He should do a campaign ad where he chows down on some sloppy ribs, and make those MAGAs wonder about what else their leaders are lying about.
I was already planning on voting for him, but if he did the “Baked Beans” sketch from WKUK, I’d have to vote for him even harder
To them, it’s supposed to be “emasculating” (a concept that only makes sense if you think being a man is a fragile state that is conditional on behaviour, and can be revoked by other people but not by the very individual).
They’d call him the F-word, but even MAGAs know you can’t say that anymore.
hes not, thats why they call him a vegan, as a deragatory name, eventhough isnt that either.
I’m always astounded by their lack of creativity. Same with right wing comics. They lack every bit of talent and or creativity. I never saw a right wing comedian or comic where i thought: i don’t disagree, but that shit is funny. I understand that that’s not only right wingers, there’s leftist stonetoss artists as well, and a lot of people here love them to death, but you’d think there is someone hateful that also has some talent. Same with Donald, he can say whatever, whenever, he clearly doesn’t care and it doesn’t matter, but all he comes up with is sleepy joe, his wife looks like a dog, he she is fat and whatnot.
they call whatever shit sticks with conservatives smoothbrains. they think vegan is a “n-word” some reason. it also revolves around be hypermasculine/toxic masculinity too. vegans/vegeterians are often women in general.
trump uses the tactic like russia, call sanewashing. hypernormalizing, if they say it enough time, the braindead support things its normal and not an issue. in trumps case he uses this as a distraction from other thing he distracting from.
One time a woman on tinder asked me what i’m doing. I told her that i’m having a salad. And she was like: what? Like a woman. That shit confuses me to this day.
Bigotry is pretty much the only strategy the GOP has left. One state over, they are hammering the airwaves with ads claiming Hallie Shoffner, the Democrat running against Tom Cotton, is a major supporter of the “tRaNs AgEnDa”. It’s pathetic. It reeks of desparation. I think, for the first time in years, the Democrats might actually have a viable candidate. I think Tom Cotton thinks so too. I hope Hallie Shoffner stomps that little fucking weasel into the dirt.
I’ll be voting for her. So there’s one.
There’s at least two of us. :)
Never thought I’d find other Arkansans here, but make it 3. How he wasn’t buried after the stolen valor claiming to be in the seals is fucking beyond me.
Fellow Arkansan rooting for y’all across the river in Tennessee. I live in Memphis where my congressional district just got gerrymandered 😩
They were threatening Sharia Law in primary ads here in Texas against Cornyn. They know how to give red meat to the reactionaries.
and the evangelicals area already enacting sha’ria law in some gop states in some form of another.
culture wars is the only useful thing for TRUMP supporters, hate against[insert minority here] is enough for most thier voters. magats dont look past thier economic policies, because they are told the contrary of what happens if a DEM has laws on the books.
Hip hip hooray it’s weasel stomping day!
If he’s swinging that low, then they release how badly they fucked up.
But their messaging works. And gets votes. I guarantee next time I see my dad he’ll bring up Talarico being a slur while emphasizing the foreign-ness of his last name. He will not, however, acknowledge any details about Ken Paxton’s criminal behavior, because that’s fake news and he “won” by not getting indicted/convicted. I hope he dies soon so my votes aren’t canceled out by him any more.
Try to talk to your dad and convince him there’s no point to him voting as Paxton is a shoe-in so he might as well go fishing/hunting/suck off one of the boys as they needed some company and it’s not gay to help a friend/play some pool at the bar. Do the things the “Demon-rats” want to take away from him (according to Fox News)
“Dad, that Stephen Miller guy is so dumb he got ‘transgender’ and ‘presbyterian’ mixed up. Fucking millennial could learn how to read if he wasn’t so busy making avocado toast all the time.”
I’m a millennial but I will gladly malign my entire generation with the usual inaccurate tropes if this strategy actually works.
Some people will believe anything if it means their in-group is good and the out-group is weak and bad. Probably the best hope for humanity is somehow channeling that trait so in-group is humanity and oh i just re-invented the end of watchmen, I think.
Adrian Veidt was right.
the anti-trans propaganda has primed most republican voters to vote for whoever the R is.
Not really sure what he means by the foreign-ness of the name. Unless it’s in Choctaw or whatever, there aren’t really any “American” surnames. The place is only a couple of hundred years old so there’s no history. The house I grew up in is older than that.
Maybe rico being the last part of his last name could add an extra Hispanic accent. TalaRRRico
But they went even lower, they called him a vegan!!
(He’s not even a vegan)
In Texas? That’s worse than calling him gay.
He came out with a statement that he’s 8th generation Texan, and he LOVES Barbecue.
All he has to do is shoot a single ad of a big family picnic, and be seen enthusiastically eating a rib. Not like that McDs CEO, who looked like his own burger was poisoned, but like you actually LOVE good ribs.
Specifically Tarico said he’s been eating bbq long before Paxton’s first indictment
#imwithher
fun fact, STEPHAN miller also DYED his bald scalp to make it look like had a full head of hair. and he has a HS video about him and immigrants too.
He used RONCO GLH. It gave him the confidence to derive the final solution to immigration.
