    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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).

    Do as I say, not as I do. I also love the trend of fear mongering over some group like “immigrants” or “the gays” whenever there’s anything to distract them from…
