Talarico is a fascinating case study of how a totally mid cishet guy would be buckets hotter if I thought he was either a trans dude or a lesbian.
Yeah him being another bland white guy makes me suspicious, how do you tell which one is the facist? They both spout religious crap too.
Putting your racism aside, one spouts unhinged religious conspiracy theories, the other promotes loving your neighbor and practicing acceptance. Not really the same thing.
White people can't judge themselves? TIL. You'd think we'd be experts.
You're not judging yourself. You're saying white = probably fascist. Is Uncle Ruckus racist?
It's just a slightly dated sense of humour, the way I read it. I used to laugh with other pale dudes about cracker this and honky that. It was always in poor taste, but our hearts were in the right place. Most of us. It's very late-00s, the kind of joke you'd only make as a super comfortable white guy who will never genuinely fear discrimination but wants to seem anti-racist while doing race jokes.
You know, something like 70% of the country is Christian. I have plenty of reasons to dislike and distrust organized religion, but you have to recognize that there are progressive Christians who don’t use their faith to oppress people. There are some Christians who take the “love one another” thing seriously and don’t suck.
Sure, but you can't blame someone for assuming the worst until otherwise demonstrated. Most Christians are hypocritical shitheads, it's safest to lead with that.
Yeah, that’s fair. But I think it’s also fair to say that Talarico has quite publicly demonstrated that he isn’t one of those shitheads.
He does seems to be a rare example of the proper type of Christian, who seems to truly respect Christian values, rather than just use them as a rationalization for his atrocities. Given his opponent, he's an easy choice.
Talk is cheap
He’s a politician. All they do is talk. But for however much it’s worth, I much prefer his words over Paxton’s.
Oh I would definitely vote for Talarico if I had a vote in Texas, just like I voted for Hillary and Joe.
Yep, same here. It’s the curse of being a leftist in a swing state. I vote Dem for harm reduction, even though they’re far from what I’d actually like to be voting for.
Oh? What's he done?
Thanks for the receipts! Great post.
