I feel bad for The Onion, their job just keeps getting harder & harder. They should probably switch their business to fortune-telling.

May Eris bless us with humorous chaos instead of just the sad kind

She'd probably leave a golden diaper at a GOP convention with a label saying "For the most worthy".

How is this real? What has happened to the world I used to live in?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

Great leader is a real man.

Great leader wears adult diapers.

Therefore real men wear adult diapers.

I think we can drop the "like" from "cult like".

Conservatives. Shitting their pants to own the libs.

TP USA has been doing diapers long before this. Regressives just love publicly wearing diapers for some reason. It must be a weird sex thing, and, in typical Repub fashion, they are involving unwilling third parties in their fetish.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I, for one, feel owned and they should keep doing it. Just like how they owned me by dying unvaccinated.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (14 children)

Yes, real men, real women, real people of any or no gender, and of all ages, wear diapers. That is not something anyone should be shamed or ridiculed for.

I don't give a shit if trump or his supporters wear them, they are out there causing actual harm to others, and there is plenty to actually criticise them for, why the fuck resort to this ableist bullshit? We rightfully give them shit for judging others by what's in their pants, yet gleefully judge them for what they wear under theirs?

Fuck this noise.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (4 children)

We're not the ones resorting to this ableist bullshit, they are. They are the ones wearing diapers and making a mockery out of it. We criticize them for making a mockery out of it simply to emulated someone that makes a mockery out of everything. Do we need to remind everyone of Trump mocking a disabled person on live TV?

Yes, I agree, fuck that noise. But we're not the ones making that noise.

This. Nowhere is the paradox of tolerance more dangerous than around "ableism" issues; people gotta learn to keep their targets sighted on the actual scum Insidiously using empathy to cross purposes.

The rightfully tolerant protector of the less able does not argue against the Nazi arguing he should be able to punch people without repercussions, they punch the Nazi until he shuts up and go back to equity for everyone else with a clean conscience.

Don't tolerate the intolerant; don't shield them with the benefit of the doubt or stop those with the conviction to stand up for those being told to sit either.

It would be much better if the hypocrisy was pointed out in the article. Republicans are responsible for repeatedly taking away protections and supports for the most vulnerable in our society. And most of their voters don’t know or don’t care as long as they’re hurting the right people. This wearing of diapers is a mockery of support for people with disabilities.

Considering the main attack on Biden from the right is that he is too old, it's fair game to do the same for Trump. They opened that can of worms.

At first I found the absurdity silly and amusing.

But then I realized, this is the same demographic that would shoot up a drag show, simply because of men wearing dresses. Now they're wearing diapers in public support of a convicted rapist that shits himself.

As a trans woman, the thought that they would even wear diapers to justify their hatred of me and love for their incontinent idol, it is disgusting. I'm literally nauseous right now, they think people like me are beneath an actual man baby.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It’s literal cult behavior.

Stay safe, sister.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it’s funny but in a gallows way. Like, of course these are the people putting my life at risk. It’s funny like Goebbels’s limp. Like you fuckers can’t even have the ideological purity to not be the sort of person you hate or to side with the people who don’t care and think it’s fine.

My life is being upended by these fucking clowns.

The next 1/6 insurrection in 2025 will consist of hundreds of diapered men smearing the walls with shit. That dude that smeared his shit on the wall at the inaugural insurrection of '20 is gonna think he started a 'movement'

History is going to have a doozy with this period.

Kids will be asking teachers if they are messing with them.

I mean, this seems on-brand for the GOP, since so many of them appear to be grown-up children who never actually reached the mental maturity to be considered "adults".

This is hilarious. Anything to "own the libs" including standing there, pledging allegiance to their leader while shitting their diapers.

It's the gift that keeps giving.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

While i would admit its better than shitting your pants, there has to be a better solution

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

A couple of years ago, there were memes about this exact thing to mock this cult. I didn't think the day would actually come, but some part of me is really happy that it did.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Real men perform innumerable felonies, publicly declare their participation in them, avoid taking the advice of lawyers and in fact actively fight them and the judge at every turn, and nap during their trial. Real men serve out their sentences in silence and, where appropriate, avoid voting thanks to their felony charges. They’d be such badasses, the truest Americans if they followed through with the full lifestyle.

I wonder how trump would feel in solitary confinement for the rest of his life, never hearing another person's voice except his own until he dies. He deserves it. Not unusual punishment based off how other prisoners in Hamburgerland are treated. Even as his Alzheimers worsens.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump already doesn't listen to any voice but his own.

Can I just vote for Maynard instead? I guess it wouldn’t matter, I’m registered as democrat.
