The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

Miss Madison, a loser through and through,  likely too brain dead to even be able to cash in. The only thing that bothers me is that it was homophobia which helped cinch his loss - telling the GOP they will be rewarded if they simply  ramp those attacks up further. 

Best of luck flashing your abs with Aaron Schock at Coachella, you Nazi-fried potato.

Does Pennsylvania have any sensible candidates? Ugh.

Maybe it's just me, but referring to a man as Miss, while talking about homophobia, doesn't really feel ok to be perfectly honest.

[DRW50]

That's fine...given that he supported anti-gay candidates and views while indulging in alleged various activities with other men, I simply don't care in this instance about my decorum with this type of person. I'm just too fed up at this point. I am the same with  Lindsey Graham. If there was a way on here for people to block posts, I would say do that. Unfortunately there  does not seem to be.

Won't see the media opine about Trump's dwindling influence amongst primary voters for candidates he backed, or about how the Republican party is seemingly split down the middle with some of those voting percentages. Not surprised. 

[DRW50]

I wasn't surprised when I went back to 538 for the first time since I got fully sick of Nate  Silver and saw that his various team members were talking at length about Trump's endorsements and his various successes, complete with various lists. The media  will never, ever let  go.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Keep posting like you've always done. You're one of the best posters on here. Don't let one person's opinion change your posting style.

He'll soon appear on GMA coming out of the closet and saying how he has a show on Netflix coming soon that will feature his supposed gay life...

I'm very well aware of who Madison Cawthorn is and what he's done, and you can think whatever you want of him and call him whatever you want. I just feel that referring to him in a derogatory way as a Miss plays upon the sterotype of gay men being feminine, which isn't true. And it also implies, to me at least, that being feminine is a negative trait, which again isn't true. That's all. I'm sure there are other ways to show disdain for someone than falling back on old stereotypes.

He dresses in drag, which is a feminine action in this instance, and it was a play on words as his first name starts with an M. That was about as far as it went. Maybe I already called him that before he was in drag, I don't know, I am barely making it through each day and these posts are the last thing on my mind. Either way, you won't have to worry about seeing it anymore as he is now out of politics and my interest in him is over - he can go shill for Russia on Newsmax without my knowledge.

Honestly if homophobia took him down then great. That's the world he wants to inflict on innocent LGBTQ+ people. He reminds me of a bomb maker who accidentally blew off his own arm.

[DRW50]

I see what you mean. It's not as if they weren't going to use these attacks against other people anyway - MTG telling Pete Buttigieg to stay away from children is still in my head. I guess that's what he gets for thinking he was too far to fall.

There are a lot worse things to go after on this board (including transphobia) vs. us calling Cawthorn out for his own self-loathing homophobia.

[Soapsuds]

His name isn't even Madison. His name is David. I don't know why he uses his middle name. 

[MichaelGL]

He's just so weird. From his god awful handwriting to his behavior as a closeted man. Good riddance.
