    I mean, me too buddy, but I found a strong wholesome woman to be my girlfriend for that reason and don’t fetishize happily married politicians as an outlet because I’m not weeeeeeird

        don’t remember a single Dem politician or pundit going there at all.

        Maybe it’s because liberals aren’t weird and don’t view women as pretty objects to be owned. Pretty wild.

        It is certainly weird as fuck. IMO it is a dog whistle trying to imply she made her way up using sex as a tool. I doubt he actually finds her attractive. She doesn’t look like Ivanka.

        Sounds kinda like manosphere PUA negging bullshit. If most women are out of you’re league, you gotta cut them down to your level to have a shot. 🙄

        It’s always risky trying to interpret Trump’s words, but my interpretation of what he was trying to say is that the magazine used a drawing of Kamala that made her look beautiful, with the unsaid thing being that he thinks she’s ugly in real life. That’s why he was going on about the artist.

      Legitimately, is this fetishizing? I saw it as a reference to presidents tending to dramatically age while in office due to stress.

        In relation to how trump/repub’s talk about it: I interpret it as such, talking about “pants having a hard time” for a married 59yo woman who happens to have some power and is attractive at the same time definitely sounds misogynistic and reductive at best, and fetishizing/predatory in reality.

        In the context of the meme I know they meant it complimentary, so its… less bad and more “wholesome” but still a bit ick.

    Ok, so co-opting the “weird” thing? This is stupid.
