Some of these “kids” are older than Charlie Kirk. They were literally all in the same age range and demographic. This is the modern Republican party when you don’t include the old people.
Charlie Kirk…. Charlie Kirk…. Oh, little face blood fountain guy!
All in all i feel world is a little better without him in it
How does their age excuse their behavior?
It doesn’t, but that’s the excuse JD Vance is making.
Great now “boys will be boys” is a dog whistle.
it always was for misogyny, but now it might be for fascism too
I think it was more of a euphemism for stupidity than a dog whistle for mysogyny.
it’s often used to excuse male children or teens (or young men) of misogynistic acts.
although originally meant for general youth stupidity.
it’s a good dogwhistle because it comes with plausible deniability.
it depends on the context.
“Boys will be boys” was always about getting into foolish hijinks. It has been co-opted by shitheads to excuse abhorrent behavior. And every time it happens there needs to be significant pushback from from folks to take it back from the bastards.
sadly it’s hard to take back a term.
shitheads missuse the term
normal people then avoid such term
now it’s a bad term
any attempt at reclaiming it will be suspicious as if someone just wants an excuse to use that word.
it’s mostly a slut thing.
but with slurs it’s “easier” to reclaim, as the community affected by it, can choose to use it.
in this case it’s different.
Republicans always say “kid” because they always have kids on their minds because they are pedos
Vance to his credit fucks couches, not kids. He only defends people who fuck kids, like his boss.
Does he fuck kid couches though? Like there’s no way this guy doesn’t make love to a love seat.
Oh shit youre very right, maybe even a chair
Some of his favorite comedians are stool humpers
Ugh I accidentally got into that section on the hub one time…never again
You can vote = not a kid.
This is just what leaked. The youngish adults staffing all these senators’ and representatives’ offices are barely any older, and are probably saying the same shit.
How would it have been better if they were kids? It’d be worse: displaying the kind of bullshit being handed down to the next generation.
They’re inept, stupid, racist adults. Pray they don’t teach kids to be like themselves (though I’m sure they will).
I have to disagree. It is definitely worse that these are adults, and they are the upcoming leaders of the GOP.
Open message to Vance:
When you say kid, I think 4 to 10 years old. A tween is 11 or 12 years old. A teen is 13 to 18. Technically, a 19 year old is also a teenager, but they’re also a young adult. Nobody older than that gets the ‘kid’ pass from me.
These people were in their 20s and 30s. They are grown-ass adults who should have responsibilities of grown-ass adults. If you say ‘I love Hitler,’ at any age, you get another title from me. “Shithead.” And that transcends age.
Now fuck off, couch fucker.
Let’s say for the benefit of the doubt this was a chat composed entirely of children. Where did these “children” learn all that talk? As young republicans maybe from older republicans or their Republican parents. Them being actual kids would make it worse
BTW, it’s weird how peacefully protesting fascism is being called “terrorism” by these assholes. And they plan on trying to defund anyone and any group that opposes the Confederates, no matter how lawful the groups are.
Meanwhile, they downplay stuff like this.
I’m a kid at heart at the ripe age of 69
And by kid, did “JD” “Vance” mean anyone that is not a boomer or something?
