The right is getting weirder about sex
The right is getting weirder about sex
Cults always police their followers' sex lives, but the right wants to impose their bizarre beliefs on everyone

(Salon) Close watchers of the MAGA movement have been chronicling the alarming escalation of both violent intimidation and overt white supremacy in recent weeks. Donald Trump, of course, now begs his followers on a nearly daily basis to murder his perceived enemies. But the rhetoric is spiraling, with people like Fox News host Greg Gutfeld openly calling for civil war. Meanwhile, Christopher Rufo a right hand man for Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla. recently hosted a forum that pushed establishment Republicans to build a bridge to the so-called "dissident right," including some open white nationalists. He may get his wish, as one of the top contenders for Speaker of the House, Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., described himself as "David Duke without the baggage."

The MAGA movement is no different. The cult-like following of Trump always had an unsettling mix of incel-inflected misogyny, coupled with a homophobia that is somehow also homoerotic. But it's been rapidly getting worse in recent months. Even more frightening is how determined they are to inflict their sexual hang-ups on the rest of the country.

Last week, Gutfeld hosted a far-right figure named Hotep Jesus, who is known primarily for being an apologist for white supremacists and anti-semites. Hotep Jesus, whose real name is Bryan Sharpe, was on the show to promote a "dating" blog that is, in actuality, propaganda for domestic abuse. As Media Matters chronicled, Sharpe regards it as a form of adultery if women are "allowed" to work or vote. "Imagine guts, sweat, and tears shed only to watch your woman get dolled up only to prance around another mans office while he gives her marching orders," Sharpe writes, claiming, "Women WANT to give up control of their life," and that they only vote, work, or otherwise make decisions because of "the pressure of modern society."

The sexual weirdness of the MAGA movement is deeply intertwined with the racism and the violence. Alamariu's writings are just saying the quiet part out loud: Sexual control, especially of women, is largely fueled by notions about "breeding" future generations, especially to look a certain way that racists want them to. Normalizing violence against women is part of that scheme, since, as fascists long have understood, women often don't go along voluntarily. .............(more)

(16,793 posts)Just goes to show that their women are nothing more than brood mares for more MAGA children who will grow up ignorant and isolated from the rest of the world when it comes to KNOWLEDGE.
What is the saying about farm kids once they leave the farm to make their way in the world? "Good luck in getting them to come back to the farm. "

Others read the Gor novels (all 36) and decide they want to live in a world of oppressed noblewomen and pleasure slaves...

Weak men try to cut others down.
Bottom line: It always, invariably comes down to sex for them! Normalize violence, control women, and the world will be a better place. Welcome to the fifties, all over again.

(2,840 posts)they're going to kick us out of the workplace, and take away our right to vote. And now we see where their votes against domestic violence laws are coming from... as well as their votes against SNAP and WIC. These are the most perverted people.
I'm sorry. If these people can't be voted down at the ballot box because of their disgraceful gerrymandering and ballot shenanigans and voter purges, then we're going to have to cut this country in half. I see no way to live with these people. It will not be a peaceful dissolution. But it will be a necessary dissolution. The most important element will be to kill the military bases from the far northern states and far southern states first, IMO. Decommission the nukes. These people are weird enough to actually use them on us.
I feel it's getting to the point of a kill or be killed status with them. I honestly don't see where elections are going to solve anything. Every election is going to be a do or die situation. People can't live with that kind of anxiety every day of their lives... and with the way election season runs from one inaugural to the next, it never ends. What else is the way out?
Have to be shamed back under their rocks. Thats the only way this ends.
