This is NOT a purity spiral
Right, because that's exactly what people who are not in a purity spiral say.
I have honestly never that's this term.
Squirm, you giant bag of rats!
Rats are actually wonderful, loving little creatures. Maybe "wasps" is a better perjorative, for more than one reason?
I’m not that guy, but someone from science_memes will be here shortly to advocate for the many wonderful qualities of wasps for some reason.
I guess they’re also considered pollinators? And . . . some of the species aren’t psycopathic murderous bastards? Or something.
Fine, mosquitos.
(straightens nerd glasses)
Well actually,
They kill pest insects. They’re voracious hunters. And they are the only insect that pollinates figs.
How’s that?
Amazing how even asshole wasps manage to be more useful than MAGA creeps. There’s not a single useful thing they do for anyone or anything. Hell, they even shoot dogs!
Some social wasps are poor to middling pollinators. Some social wasps don't pollinate at all. All social wasps are flying terrorists.
Add some more bees and get rid of all social wasps.
Solitary wasps are cool, though. They can stay.

https://youtu.be/9lYPntgZwTI I always think about this video, the first time I ever came close to shedding a tear for a rat.
To be perfectly clear, domestic rats and wild rats are different. Domestic rats are bred to express behaviors appropriate for living with humans. But either way, they are incredibly smart, clean, and capable of a lot of love and compassion.
There have been many experiments to investigate rat social behavior, which show that they will ignore food in order to help another rat "in trouble," even if they've never met that rat before. They will also show friendliness to a new rat from a different species if they have met and interacted with a different rat from that species before.
As the video explains, rats do have a very short lifespan. Two years is good for a domestic rat, and I've been in full weep over losing them. I just can't do that anymore, it's too often.

We want the energy, passion, and future-facing vision
Maybe the candidate is the problem? Just a thought.
"Those people are all working against us, sir."
"So who do we got?"
"Cynical self-interested assholes and weirdos who sniff bike seats."
When the leopards start eating each other's faces.
Ironic that a bunch of traitors are calling anyone else a traitor.
In a monarchy, a traitor is anyone who fails the king.
"This is NOT a purity spiral"
That's just what a purity spiral would say
The revolt was likely begun by far-right extremist Nick Fuentes
I hate that this shitbag has any amount of sway in our politics.
The fact that this "incel" got caught on stream watching gay porn and wasn't immediately purged from the right-wing movement says a lot about how seriously the right takes their values.

I don't think I'll ever understand how non-white people end up involved in a white supremacist movement in any capacity, much less in leadership positions. What exactly is your end game here my man?
From his Wikipedia page (the first sentence is the relevant part but the rest is so funny I had to include it):
According to himself, Fuentes is of Mexican descent via his paternal ancestors and is Catholic.[27][28]
Fuentes identifies as an incel (or "involuntary celibate"), although some of his supporters have criticized him for being a "voluntary celibate" after he admitted that he kissed a girl while he was in high school.[14][29] He has described himself as the "straightest guy" and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that "the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel", as "having sex with women is gay ... What's gayer than being like, 'I need cuddles. I need kisses ... I need to spend time with a woman.'"[30][31][32]
If an HBO dark sitcom had a character that's exactly like Nick Fuentes, audiences would complain that he's too much of an over the top parody to be a believable character.
having sex with women is gay
I don't understand why someone who is gay would align themselves with people who hate gay people so much, and go through these Olympic level mental gymnastics. You could just... Not be a part of the group that hates you, and be a part of a group that doesn't care if you're gay.

These people are the worst kind of stupid...
Yes, please do fire them and hire even worse ones, just like you did with your lawyers in your many court cases.
We all know who's in charge of the shit show and it's not them. They're just doing their best to keep the shit contained.
I can't wait til they notice things really took a nosedive when he announced his VP pick. I'm willing to bet that sooner or later, they will demand he dump Vance.
They would have to then lose Ohio's votes for VP because the Ohio filing deadline has already passed (Aug 7th) and they didn't change things before it
Ohio's deadline is the reason why the democratic party had their virtual rollcall thing recently
Except they did push the deadline forward, but did not make the law to do that effective until September, or something like that. I'm convinced they did that on purpose, so they can accommodate a late Republican change but still have reason to complain about a late Democratic one.
That would require Don Jr to loose face with his father (he recommended Vance)
I'd bet that's a sacrifice Sr. is willing to make.
Are the Trumpets going to try to hang another of Trump's VPs? That was a record turn around time.
And that's when you take them to court because it's too late in the election cycle, they've already printed out the ballots, blah blah blah.
I like their energy…
“I can clearly see that [the Trump 2024 campaign is FAILING! We want to see changes! We want the energy, passion, and future-facing vision that we know Donald Trump for. Stop the autopilot into oblivion and fight for us!"
Trouble is that it’s sleepy Don that’s lacking the energy and the passion.Sad!
Wouldn't it be ironic if the Civil War we were all so worried about turned out to be a bunch of incels in Spider Man PJs angrily pointing at each other
It's pretty much that. When you pair all these supposed militias against each other, it's mostly "Diesel vs Solar" in how they power their shitty camps. They'll kill each other before any rational American who didn't agree with them.
They are calling them globalists with global interests, but trump own real estate all over the world, and his family controls trademarks in a number of countries including the people's republic of China.

Well that’s okay because they’re not Jews. Except Jared who is still okay somehow.
But technically I don’t think they do own real estate all over the world, it’s just that they license the very lucrative trump brand to other chumps all over the world. Because nothing matters and what if it did.

So this guy is doing a Trump: "Everything is going to shambles! Only I can save you!"
No. Trump's own followers are doing this.
I wouldn't get too excited, it's a bunch of fringe edgelords on a platform no one uses. Hoping it spreads and they start to fracture, but groypers are a pretty fridge edge of the maga movement.
