Republicans, tell us again how it’s the trans people we should all be afraid of.
Not a Republican, but I think I've got it figured out.
See, they think everyone has these awful, sinful thoughts that they can't control. When they see trans people living their lives they feel like those trans people are giving into the nasty, sinful thoughts. Or gay people. Or people in interracial relationships. Or really anyone who's doing something they've been told is a naughty, sinful, deplorable thing that no one should do even if it feels good and hurts no one.
So when they see people accepting others who have dirty, naughty, sinful thoughts they assume we're okay with sin. The conflict arises because we have a different view of sin that is less self-interested. We're not about punishing people for doing things that feel good and hurts no one, we want to help the people doing things that feel bad, and let people do things that don't hurt others.
This makes their brains get hot and when their brains get hot they feel angry.
Unironically, exactly right.
This is the same reason they see homosexuality as a sinful choice, and take issue with homosexuals just simply being alive. They struggled so hard to suppress their homosexual urges, and now these people are flaunting theirs, openly? And the rest of the world wants to celebrate this moral failure, despite it being something that everyone struggles with? I mean the mental gymnastics required to succeed in choosing to be heterosexual, while celebrating someone else who failed to do so is just absolutely insane.
You can see how this all logics together if you assume everyone feels the way you do, and you're fighting an urge to do something you see as morally wrong. Obviously, abusing your teenage daughters trust to give yourself a mild sexual release is morally wrong, but the point stands. These people play the moral high ground card because they struggle with these thoughts every single day.
I feel a similar thing when I see people doing absolutely immoral things like denying health care coverage and making tons of money doing it. I've been taught all my life that if someone asks for help you help them, so seeing someone getting praised and paid for being an asshole pisses me off to no end.
I feel this comment. 🙌
"Psychological projection" is a much shorter phrase and describes exactly that, and basically the entirety of right wing, fascist idiology.
Wesley Dingus
He really lived up to his name! I can't imagine voting for a mayor whose last name was Dingus anyway.
Never go full dingus.
Ready for the wave of conservatives telling on themselves by saying this is fine
It's just scent bonding!
-The Society for Epstein-Americans
According to the official report, the teenage girl explained that she had grown suspicious that Dingus had been entering her room without her permission. Seeking proof, she bought a small video camera and set it up in her bedroom.
Allegedly, on the morning of January 13, she left for school around 7 a.m. She said that about 15 minutes later, she received a motion alert from her camera. Upon reviewing the footage, she saw Dingus enter her room and smell her underwear.
The next day, she received another alert at 7:17 a.m., and the video again showed Dingus entering her room, smelling her worn underwear, and touching his groin area over his clothes. This evidence was handed over to law enforcement.
His name is Dingus? Wtf
The P in GOP stands for Pedophiles
Dingus was shown in photos attending the arraignment wearing jeans and a plaid shirt, standing next to his attorney, James Mayer III. He pleaded not guilty. Dingus, who is currently out on bond for an incident last summer after he "struck a suspect fleeing police" with his car, arrived to court fairly experienced with the process.
It wasn't Dingus' first time being arraigned. In August 2025, Dingus was in front of the judge to face numerous charges for allegedly "running over a man wanted for violating parole."
Dingus was indicted on four counts in that case, including aggravated assault, vehicular assault, falsification, and dereliction of duty. The first two charges are fourth-degree felonies.
Interesting how it's ALWAYS REPUBLICANS
Conservatives rage at made up stories about Democrats.
Conservatives tend to be awfully quiet about videos of conservatives doing bad shit.
Still no drag queens.
It is usually republicans, but when it's a democrat the stories don't gain as much traction on Lemmy.
Generally when it's a democrat, we are not defending it is the difference. Granted, the news stories don't gain as much traction on left biased social media platforms, but at least we aren't defending them and making them president.
Was he a family values guy on the warpath against trans and drag queens though?
Well OBVIOUSLY! He was only sniffing her panties to check for trans germs, and make sure she isn't wearing drag clothes! God! Not everything has to be sexual!
(In case it's not coming through, I'm being highly sarcastic. This guys a creep, and hopefully his dick falls off from being too small)
hopefully his dick falls off from being too small
That's not something that happens right? Asking for a friend.
Oh shit, i didn't even know he had presidential qualities
Key note missing in title is that she is a minor so he's also a pedo
are these the family values that the repubes be talking about?
Republicans are all scumbags.
How the fuck am I supposed to play my game of is it a republican or democrat when they put it in the title?
I do pretty good in the game always guessing the same thing.
It's always the one you suspect the most.
What the fuck.
Good for her catching him.
It's always who you most suspect
What does Mrs. Dingus think of all this, that her husband is creeping on her daughter.
Hmmm. I see divorce in the future.
What a dingus.
That is nominative determinism at its finest, second only to Anthony Wiener sharing dick pics.
Republicans are the worst
I wonder what would have happened if had been his 14yo son's jock strap.
Having been a 14-year-old boy once, I'm guessing his nose would get pregnant.
Usual suspects
You can’t make this shit up, if it weren’t about real life you’d think it’s one of those early 2000’s comedies alla American pie or a Gilbert Gottfried skit.
Wtf republicans 🤮 for all the hating these ghouls do… disgusting.
the onion just can't compete.
How is it so hard to just not do this
He must have been a trans deep sleeper state wokie! /s
The amount of Drag Queens and Trans people getting caught doing stupid sexual suff to people:

Florida of the North strikes again. This is the sort of shit I fully expect to come out of Ohio.
