It’s biblical.
Especially when the third wife is still a child.
Traditional family advocates are cheating in their spouses.
Anti-gay politicians have Grindr on their phone.
Pro-gun activists won't allow arms at their speaking events.
Anti-immigrant farmers hire cheap labour to pick their crops.
People who shout "protect the children", have the entire Library of Alexandria worth of child porn.
The people complaining about the country's budget deficit, hide all their money in Caymanian bank accounts.
Officials who say they want to "protect womens'' sports", caught being a creep to schoolgirls.
And xenophobes have four grandparents who were born outside the country.
What was that phrase again? Oh, right.
Every accusation is an admission.
It's hypocrisy. When the morality and logic behind your ideas is inherently flawed then hypocrisy is fair play and sometimes even a necessity for survival.
You also forgot the Xenophobes have Filipino wives and mixed grandchildren.
Well let's just look at the Dorito Mussolin....
-
Panders to and pushes christian values but...
-
Several divorces, cheated on all his wives with other women, including infidelity on his "current" wife with a porn star
-
Half a dozen kids across several mothers
-
Sells bibles with his branding on them
-
Totally cool with cold idol statues of himself
-
Wouldn't even swear in while touching a Bible
-
-
Pushed hard that drag queens were "groomers" and "pedos", despite mountains of irritable evidence he was raping kids, via parents and especially Epstein.
I'm almost sure that if that man actually touched the Bible, he'd burn his hand.
It might explain his hand.
I have a coworker who is hardcore MAGA. His first wife divorced him and says the most disgusting things like "if she can cheat on me with a 30 year old then why can't I sleep with a 16 year old" (for context he's in his 50s)
now he's with his side piece who drives him to work every day (lost his license to a DUI) and he brags about fucking the woman down the street from him.
Why do you even talk to this assclown?
I don't if I absolutely don't have to. I just overhear what he says to others, or what my coworkers tell me he says.
Edit: just found out that he's gonna have to pull up those bootstraps because he's been fired. Today is a good day.
Should send a little anonymous tip to the women he's lying to, as a treat
Congrats!
He probability fucks children too.
No, they want "traditional American families" for their wives. This is about control and they think if they can rule over someone, then they are still manly.
Pity they don't realise this makes them little piss boys. Pathetic cunts.
Yeah, they want “Mad Men.” They never wanted any kind of “traditional” “Christian” family values (whatever those actually are).
Conservative Traditional Families in America: A Primer
- Almost die in a war
- Marry STRAIGHT out of highschool/after your discharge, possibly after getting a girl pregnant
- Have PTSD or other untreated mental illness
- Have an affair
- Lose your job to automation
- Become an alcoholic
- Have secret gay sex
- Become a domestic abuser
- Threaten your children to prevent them from being gay
- Wife leaves you
- Your children hate you
- Die alone
Republicans? Hypocrites? Noooo. Surely not.
That's literally the traditional American family, to be fair.
That's the tradition, women trapped by society in bad marriages.
Isn't an affair an integral part of the American family unit?
If you want a "traditional family" in your country to become a norm you need to bring back a few "traditional rules" back:
- every family should have a home or flat on their own, no renting
- above-mentioned homes should be multi-generational, flats don't need to be
- every family should be able to afford middle-class lifestyle on one paycheck (only one person per pair of adults needing to work, doesn't matter which one)
But we can't have that in the big squeeze economy, right?
They want us in traditional American families. For themselves they want absolute power with zero responsibility, and they sincerely believe they've earned and deserve it.
They also want everyone to be Christian even though they don't follow their own bible. lmao
And they hate Islam, as they are "barbaric savages", while their principles align perfectly with IS and al-Qaeda.
Nah... Even ISIS and Al Qaeda aren't capitalist.
Well yeah, they are following tradition, right? Affairs have been around for millenia.
Yeah and the nazis that bought farms hated actually working them. Conservatives love an aesthetic regardless of if they want the reality
And can't quit their Grindr or Ashley Madison accounts
That is their tradition. Hypocracy.
How traditional do they want it? Like in the1600's marrying your 12 year old cousin? Seems like it.
