      “I don’t find it funny because I’m homophobic”

      LOL I guess I should read the rest of your sentence before thinking I have the whole story.

      Neoliberals love to slap rainbow flags on brutal oligarchical governments, while downplaying or denying the civil rights abuses of friendly countries.

      And they love to kick and scream about historical wrongs committed by prior leaders, while dismissing any kind of reform or social advancement in the last generation.

      meanwhile back at home… in conservative areas…

      Back in liberal areas you still see conservative state and local administrators treating LGBTQ as pariahs and punishing them for any kind of outspoken queerness. You’re allowed to be gay in the US only as long as you are indistinguishable from all your straight peers. If you look gay - even in bleeding heart of NYC or the Hollywood Hills - you’re going to take shit from the police, the mayor, and most major employers.

      American liberalism is entirely a legal fiction. In the free market, it might as well not exist.

      “The country we been invading once a decade for oil is not as progressive and is progressing almost as slow as us.”

      • Fr. I wonder how advanced China would’ve been if the British didn’t invade on the pretense of the opium stuff, and the Japanese Imperialists didn’t invade, looted, and burned stuff, and the massacres… Perhaps it would’ve become an actual bastion of freedom, democracy, prosperity, instead of… you know… current timeline.

    still homophobic tho, conservatives are just the wrong people to be calling it out (and if anything conservatives are the ideal target audience for the homophobic memes, since they are the ones most likely to be bothered by their Daddy being a closeted gay)

    Yeah, being gay isnt the issue. Being a massive prick that attacks LGBT people while doing LGBT things is the issue. The fun part is, you can now say the Trump is the very first LGBT President. In fact, I encourage everyone to celebrate him as the first LGBT president. Give him an LGBT lifetime achievement award for becoming the first LGBT president… He’ll have a fucking stroke lol.

      Give him a nice shiny statue, then take it away and give it to Obama after further consideration, because Obama has admitted to fantasizing about men.

      Guarantee it would lead to him raving about how much better he is at having sex with men.

        Occupational Therapy Centers. Sometimes fellaltio is theraputic. It’s not appropriate to shame someone for engaging in it. Unless it’s Trump. Then it’s hilarious.

        The guy in the meme is the Original Tribal Chief Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i…The OTC.

        I really could have gone my whole life without knowing his political beliefs. I don’t like politics in my wrasslin’. But since he felt like he had to share and this is a political meme, that question came naturally to me.
