These people don't share your beliefs. They just told you they did. They told you so you would check a box by their name. They would gladly throw you off a cliff to save themselves or their exotic dancer affair partners.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 93 points 6 days ago

Exactly this.

Conservatives believe that they should get special rights simply because of who they are. This isn't grounded in a shared moral system; conservative values are about elevating the "right" people to power and privilege.

It's why conservatives don't care what the people who represent them do: they believe that their representative deserves to be there simply because they've signalled that they're culturally conservative.

It's an ideology for losers, and I mean that literally. The "left" side of the political spectrum is about empowering those who never had much to lose, while the "right" side is about reclaiming lost privileges for those who feel entitled to the whole pie.

The right isn't really against abortion even if they pretend to be; they're against it for the people who they want to control.

or their exotic dancer affair partners.

I think they would throw any one particular affair partner over that same cliff to save themselves and their ability to chase new affair partners, but otherwise you're spot on

Capriglione expressed a desire to ejaculate into cookie batter intended for a bake sale one of his daughters was participating in

“His fantasy was that — when no one was looking — that he would produce ‘baby gravy’ to put into the cookie batter before they were baked, because it was a turn-on for him,” she said, claiming that he enjoyed the idea that “all of the girls in the neighborhood would be consuming” his ejaculate.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 46 points 6 days ago

The shitty part is that he said it was a fantasy but it's so specific that he probably already did it and just doesn't want to directly admit to it

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 31 points 6 days ago

I’d like to think I’m pretty open minded to various kinks and desires people have but that was beyond anything I could ever imagine. Goodness gracious.

[-] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 69 points 6 days ago

Valid kinks require consent. This was forcing your sexual depravity upon non-consenting people, probably including children.

This isn't a kink, it's abuse.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 41 points 6 days ago

The fact that this act is directed toward children is especially telling, and not the least bit surprising

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

And it seems he also succeeded in fucking every woman in the state by removing their right to an abortion. I'm not sure it's a campaign platform or if he is just a sadistic fuck who happened to find a party that endorses sadism.

[-] half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 6 days ago

Calling ejaculate "baby gravy" alone should be a fucking crime. These people are so gross.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

Sounds the green text

[-] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Too specific and male for her to have made this up. Woof. What a subhuman piece of crap.

[-] Ltann0607@endlesstalk.org 42 points 5 days ago

Republicans lie. Their Presidents is Liar in Chief. He's a convicted felon and an unregistered sex offender. Those are facts.

[-] TimboSlice@discuss.online 4 points 5 days ago

Don't forget pedophile!

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 51 points 6 days ago

There are no good republicans, but there are some exceptionally nasty ones.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 48 points 6 days ago

If Republicans did not have hypocracy, they would not have a platform.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 days ago

We need to stop calling this hypocrisy.

Republicans and conservatives are about oppression.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Anti-abortion laws are about punishing "sluts". Their abortions are allowed because something bad happened to them. Sluts deserve it because they should have just squeezed an aspirin between their legs.

Only one party cares about hypocrisy and it's not the Republicans.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

God stop being right already. You're make the rest of us look bad.

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 25 points 6 days ago

Of course they did. These people are the most vile human beings.

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 21 points 5 days ago

People have been making jokes about this exact scenario for decades... a conservative who hates abortions until his mistress needs one.

They will probably have a euphemism for abortion going forward in some hospitals thay will cater to this type of clientele... because Trump has shown that there really are people above the law.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The joke of all this. He's just free to do whatever the fuck he wants, and none of his friendly media or corporate allies will stop glazing him in front of his base.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

Oh my god, I can't believe it's exactly who we would expect.

The thing is: access to abortion is literally a family value. The right to reproductive freedom means that a person has a choice if they want to risk a dangerous pregnancy that could leave the family without a caretaker.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

That’s how it always is with these people. Going forward, anytime someone wants to remove rights they should be first investigated.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago

I was going to suggest feeding them into a wood chipper but I suppose we can try your method first.

Duh, thats how he knows that everyone is doing it.

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

I’m not saying this isn’t true, but the original source on this, a blog-masquerading-as-news called currentrevolt(dot com), is a straight dumpster fire of awful opinions and shitty takes. So, take this “reporting” with a heap of salt.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

The interview link to it in the article says it’s subscription only. Which is poor planning on their part, but it doesn’t seem too dumpster-firey on first glance. (Not that it isn’t)

Thank God.. We certainly don't want anymore of him

Lol what a fucknut

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

In a lengthy interview published on Friday by Texas-based independent outlet Current Revolt, Grace alleged that she and Capriglione — a married father of three who was elected to the state legislature in 2012 — had been romantically involved for almost two decades. She said the two met in 2004, when she was 18 years old and working as a dancer. Grace said they would meet at a variety of locations, including his home and office, describing the representative’s behavior as paranoid to the point of absurdity.

Did I do my math right? He was 31 and she was 18.

Born March 8, 1973 (age 52)

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

That's pretty restrained by "conservative" standards.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

We don't know her exact age right now, it could have been around 18.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Normally they go for 13 year olds, though.
