    Most MAGA men are cowards. Buy a dozen guns, make threats, but when push comes to shove…they stay in their chair and flip on right wing media. They are nothing.

      They would chuckle if Trump admitted to having sex with teenagers and nod along if he said that everybody wants to do it.

    Because to them it’s only an issue if it affects them personally. If it’s someone else’s kids, they don’t care.

    Most conservative double-think like this boils down to a lack of empathy.

      I’d also argue that it isn’t really about the daughters for some of these men. They rather fantasize about being in a situation where it is socially acceptable to use violence, because they want to use violence. They want to be the hero, which requires a crisis.

      They might still not be in favor of pedophiles running around freely, all things considered, but they’re certainly not going to be as strongly opposed to it as their violent fantasies might make you believe.

      I have the feeling americans have low empathy, at least it shows in shows, films, tv, reporters, successful musicians (except DP), politiciabs (they don’t even fake it) … Basically every aspect of the usa culture.

      Is this true or is it cliché?

    These same men also have a fantasy of picking up their gun and help their fellow American in a hostage or terrorist situation, but during covid, when they had an opportunity to help their fellow Americans by putting a fucking piece of cloth on their face, they refused.

    Cause it wasn’t “their” daughters. Remember, those same guys would fuck any other man’s daughter and expect it to be okay. They lack the mental skills to understand another person’s perspective.

    MAGATS uphold rape culture but this dude is a hero and I for one would vote for him to be president and drain the swamp in 2028.

    Their fantasy is not about justice for women but justice for their stuff being taken. Raping someone else’s kids does not invoke the same emotion, in fact they might be cheering it if the kids in question are from a different social group.

    Honestly this type of mental disconnect is absolutely a thing and it baffles me to no end. These guys are just cosplayering a parody of the “manly man”.

    It’s not because they care about the act, they just see their daughters as property and don’t want their chattel ‘defiled’, with exceptions for personal use.
