I don’t think the R’s really care about this kind of dressing up in women’s clothes. It’s a costume for comedic value, where the comedy comes from exploiting gay/trans stereotypes. It’s the same way that a racist will put on blackface and act out Black stereotypes. They’re not necessarily doing it because they relate to presenting as a woman. Rather, they put on the costume of a woman so they can act out in inappropriate ways and say inappropriate things. Exactly what the R’s love to do.
Their frothing at the mouth over drag brunch says otherwise.
In March 2000, Rudy Giuliani wore women’s clothes as part of a filmed skit for a roast.
It depends on how the person reacts to the photos. It’s not weird until they make it weird.
If Vance laughed it off and said it was just a joke when he was younger then it would be a nothingburger but Vance will find a way to make it weird.
Like, I don’t think anyone cared when the photos of Rudy came out because Rudy didn’t make a big deal of it.
Real Politicians would not think Drag is somehow turning their kids gay. And if so, man they are too late- Mrs Doubtfire, Bugs Bunny, Milton Berle,Tootsie , Some Like it Hot…
He needn’t worry - he’s way too old for trump’s tastes.
I’d also take a step back. He looks better with a beard. He has a chin kinda like mine, and some pudginess in in face. A beard can often make that just look better.
And it’s not just Millennials who started growing a beard since 2020 made it fashionable again. That was the first time I remember in my lifetime when even long beards were in.
I’m not convinced “It’s fine that Trump speaks to Nazis because he also hits on my wife” is a strong selling point, Mr Vance.
Jesus.
No, I don’t think he’d hug Jesus like that, unless he thought it would help his campaign.
If he wants people to quit calling him a weirdo, he needs to stop saying such weird fucking shit.
I have a beard IRL for much the same reason to be honest. I completely acknowledge that this is not only possible, but likely.
That phrasing makes it sound like the only thing he likes about Trump.
Nah, I’m not letting the party of “dressing in drag makes you a child molester” off that easily.
“And ‘grab’ is in no way the right word to explain what else he does. At most … at most … it’s a gentle caress.”
Definitely. Nothing matters except that we win. Stuff I’d normally roll my eyes at as a nothing burger should now be in play.
men use facial hair for contouring much like women use make up. i know a guy who is a very big 6’9", (he has no interest in sports) he has a very baby face. he tried a beard once, it changed his face so much. he went from cuddly gentle giant to very scary guy you did not want to run into on a well lit street at high noon. he shaved within 2 weeks.
jd vance is a very odd awkward person. why on earth would he bring up walz’s marriage?!
Note that we’re talking about how conservatives are going to handle the picture; I didn’t think you were in that group (maybe I’m wrong).
Absolutely. I actually use 9 different lengths with a beard trimmer to try to give the illusion that my chin is larger than it is by up to a full centimeter. It doesn’t sound like much but it makes a difference. It subtly reshapes my whole lower face from the cheekbones down.
Yeah, wrong line to say about a serial womanizer and philanderer.
I’ve been watching a lot of political videos lately and thus seen lots of clips of JD Vance. I’ve never liked him, but now I despise this mutherfucker with a fury.
He is a terrible attack dog. He can’t sell a talking point to save his life. The cadence in his voice is totally wrong. He comes across like a petulant edgelord teen and a lot less mature than his actual age.
Even if Trump were doing well otherwise, Vance is so bad that I think his presence alone might be enough to sink the campaign. He is going to go down in US political history as one of the greatest jokes ever.
And Vance has got a beard alright.
