    It seems CNN did excellent research in tying Mark Robinson to minisoldr.

    And this article is very revealing, and shows how gross, sick this individual is. There’s something really wrong with him.

    The article is disturbing - and it’s worth noting that CNN has withheld more evidence that is evidently much more disturbing. Goodness…

          The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.

          Would yall stop with this rhetoric? You mean as long as voter suppression tactics continue to deny a lot of people their right to vote including by making voting inaccessible and/or unfair? Hopefully despite that people can rally and fight against it and use their rights and vote?

          It’s not a “laziness,” thing, it’s a serious systemic issue with our voting process. Stop victim blaming.

          • Y’all? Excuse me sir/madam, but it’s y’all that needs to cut it out with the rhetoric.

            The level of effort to cast a vote, even in states with aggressive voter suppression, is still lower than the impact that the next 4-6 years of policy will have. Every state has options for mail voting or early voting.

            You’d have a hard time convincing me that someone who intends to vote would decide not to unless they’re simply too lazy to be bothered. If mild shaming encourages even a single person to exercise their right to vote, it’s worth doing.

            In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that it’s people like you coming out here and coddling people with your sYsTeMiC iSsUeS that is enabling people to consider voting and instead think, “hmm, do I want to deal with the systemic voter suppression issue or should I just skip voting this time? Yeah, I don’t want to wait in a line or cast my vote early, so best to just sit this one out and complain about the outcome.”

            It’s not victim blaming, it’s reminding people that they have a CIVIC DUTY to vote, just like registering for the draft or getting called for jury duty.

              Okay, so this was about your ego the whole time, got it.

              I one time, in 2016, stood in a line to vote in a caucus primary for over 4 hours. We were crammed in a gym because turnout was so unexpected and huge, and it took another 2 hours once everyone was inside to actually finish voting. This doesnt even get into registration issues which they said were “just glitches,” but meant people still couldnt vote. People who were disabled had to leave because they couldn’t physically endure the voting process. People in wheelchairs had to leave - couldnt get off their ass ig, like you said. Laziness, that classist ableist chestnut. People who had kids and jobs also had to leave because they literally didn’t have alternatives and could not afford alternatives. Lazy parents and workers.

              I remember feeling stunned as I watched voters leave. “Wow, this is voting suppression in action,” I realized. People had to go back to work or they’d be fired. They literally couldn’t physically vote. That was the entire intent of how the votes were set up. It was genuinely stunning. And the people leaving were angry too, they wanted to vote.

              And there you are, you blame the people who were victims of this? Just because you enjoy feeling superior? Really helpful for your cause. Sorry the disabled grandma in a wheelchair needed her insulin and had to go home.

              It’s not about your entitlement to their actions or the public’s entitlement to someone’s actions. It’s about individuals being able to enforce their rights and their voice and their autonomy - THAT’S why people should vote. Not because they owe anyone else anything, but because they owe themselves that right.

              You’re literally mimicking abusive relationships by using fear, obligation, guilt, and shame to force behavior. And then wonder why people don’t like Dem messaging.

            To the extent that that is a factor affecting a person’s actual ability to vote, yes, that is what I mean, thank you.

            However: by and large, that is not why Americans don’t vote.

              “A lack of time” from your article as the third reason - that’s literally voter suppression. That’s explicitly what I referenced in my comment. You proved me right with your source. I also am not 100% positive that YouGov can conduct the type of research and polling needed to even BE a source for this topic anyway though.

    Maybe this will come off as armchair psychology, but I really believe that part of what motivates conservative, and especially far-right sentiment in men is just sexual frustration.

    We’ve seen so many instances of Nazis being outed as gay or as chasers, so many incels who blame women for all the ills of the world, and so many guys who have a “blacked” or “white extinction” fetish are staunchly racist.

    We can respond in a number of ways to rejection, or any other negative experience for that matter, and some people respond with aggression.

    Women don’t find me attractive? Well it must be either their or society’s fault. Or maybe the blacks are at fault for taking all the white women.

    I can’t be gay in my religion or conservative social circle? Well the gays must be sinful groomers then, and should be second class citizens or outright eradicated.

    Once again this is probably just armchair psychology on my part, but this may be part of why we’re seeing conservatism increase among young men as younger generations are having less sex.

        Not necessarily, anyone who knows the state can tell you this.

        NC ousted an incumbent republican while electing Trump in 2016. Republicans have not won the governorship, except once in 2012, since 1988.

        Because he’s a hypocrite. His platform is on family values, but says things like “women who get abortions can’t keep their skirts down”. Even though his wife has had an abortion and now apparently either has cheated on his wife or prepared to. He can’t keep it in his pants.

        He referred to himself as a black nazi, and is into trans porn. That in itself isn’t an issue, however he’s a republican whom do not support trans rights

          So much this. Most normal people do not care what others do in the sheets. The qons, however, seem to keep themselves up at night in a fever sweat over what others do, and make that a primary plank of theirs. Normal people only care what these qons are doing in the sheets because these weird jackasses are shown to be hypocrites.

        Speaks to character, if you run as a “family values” candidate while cheating on your spouse. It’s not inherently disqualifying, especially compared to self identifying as a Nazi, but it’s not something that the press or the people should ignore.

        “What people do in the sheets” rhetoric is for stuff like kinky sex or being gay…nobody should care if he likes getting pegged. Nobody should care if he has an open relationship. Nobody should care that he likes trans porn, which he said he does. The problem with cheating is the character concern of caring about your wants no matter who it hurts. That is a bad characteristic for a political leader.

            The sticky part is that the key difference between cheating and an open relationship is consent, so the app/site itself doesn’t change anything, his partner’s knowledge and acceptance of his use of the app/site does.

            I don’t think people would care about any of this nearly as much if he didn’t represent a party that claims all of these things are ‘ungodly’, and the same party that negatively attributes this kind of behavior to the LGBTQ community, while actively trying to erase their existence. I think it’s important that people call out the hypocrisy.

            I don’t think the app that he used really matters as far as the criticism goes, though if it was Grindr it would’ve been even more hurtful to his career, as most of the people who were going to vote for him would be extremely bigoted against that.

        Because it is wrong.

        I am not judging sexual practices. I am judging those who choose to betray their partner. Here is the person he is most committed to in this world, the person who expects undying loyalty in exchange for the same in return, and he is seemingly shitting all over that vow.

        If you only care about practicality, then consider that one will not care for the people in general if they cannot care for those closer to them. Honesty and compassion mean nothing to this man.
