Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there's a large gathering of Republicans.

A Republican manufacturer running for governor in Wisconsin as a conservative supporter of “family values” and President Donald Trump followed numerous sexually explicit accounts online, including a nonbinary pornography performer.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that Bill Berrien, the CEO of Pindel Global Precision and one of two announced 2026 Republican candidates for governor, unfollowed several accounts in recent days after the newspaper asked about the matter.

This is part of the reason they are going after transgender people so much. Most Republicans are in the closet and they don't want their past lovers to let the public know what they are doing behind closed doors.

It's also why they choose so many white, blonde women to be their face on the news and in the Whitehouse.

They try so hard to make their voter base think they are " MEN!!" and do "MANLY THINGS!!!" When actually most of them are crybabies and closet bisexuals.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

IIRC transgender porn is by far the most popular in the deep US south.

in utah, at least for PH statistics.

To be fair, they all cry on tv about how their feelings are hurt.

[-] hellisdigital@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Also why they are convinced sexuality is a choice and they hate the ones who have made the choice they wanted to make but felt they couldn't/can't due to social and religious pressures.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

some of them are into transgender people too, trans people are an easy target, because there is so few of them, and they dont have as much representation as the rest of the queer folks.

The hypocrisy is what bothers me. These people scream about hating gays.

[-] F_State@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago

Plenty of closet gay or bi conservative men who hate themselves and other gay men for social/religious/political reasons but plenty of conservative hetero flexible men who find the thrill that comes with doing something "naughty" or the risk of getting caught appealing. If they were in more understanding situations, they probably wouldn't bang other guys cause the thrill would be gone.

Wouldn't that be an interesting list of names, if it unfortunately ever leaked?

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

Leaking it wouldn't really accomplish much because they'd just get replaced by more Republicans. But if they were blackmailed, that could potentially influence policy, or make the thief rich.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

This generates so many questions it could be a study. I do not have any gay friends, or know of people around me who use Grindr so I guess if someone who does could tell me.

Do these people seek "locals" (nonMAGA) of towns/cities they live, or do they seek other MAGA hidden on the platform? If they're looking for a non-MAGA partner, do they hide their leanings? Is it just not something discussed during dms before hooking up? Do they often become toxic and try to bully the partner or do they keep quiet and try to blend in with John Everyman? If they look for each other, do they have like...a tell on their profile to help signal to each other to help get swipes? Are they often top/bottom or is the demographic still case-by-case? Do they attend Grindr and mark "looking for friends" or "looking for hookups"? (Women used to use bumble a lot but like 90% of them were always marked as "just looking for friends" rather than hookups on their profiles)

This is the second time I've seen this phenomena of grindr spiking in a city where lots of MAGA congregates, but I dont think I've ever heard of assaults on homosexuals from maga people specifically after a hookup on grindr, in local/national news

[-] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 week ago

It's gay (or bi) MAGA men in the closet seeking hookups with people in other towns so they don't bump into them later at the grocery store with their wife.

These are the same people that will say shit like "faggots make me sick" and some probably even go gay bashing.

Their religion and culture have damaged their brains into rejecting who they are and what they want in life and will violently lash out at others who embrace who they are.

I'd feel pity for them if they weren't such horrible humans.

These are the same people that will say shit like "faggots make me sick" and some probably even go gay bashing.

My pet theory is that these bisexual conservatives are the origin of the “it’s a choice” thing. Because they do wake up every morning and choose to act straight in everyday life. And since they do it, they assume every gay person can do it. They’re just bisexual, and constantly deny that they find the same sex attractive.

Their hatred for gay people runs so deep because whenever they see an openly gay person, they see the part of themselves that they constantly deny; The part that they’re only able to deny by constantly telling themselves that it is disgusting. Because if they stop telling themselves that, they’re afraid that they’ll give into it. So whenever they see an openly gay person, the internalized “this part of you is disgusting and you should feel ashamed of it” part of them bubbles up to the surface and manifests as “just choose to be straight” homophobia.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I agree with this. Believing this also makes me comfortable in my straightness. I love the gay community, gay bars make the strongest drinks, and they are fun as hell to be with. They can grab my ass all they want, but I'll always reject them. My fellow gay humans, keep being fabulous baby!

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

100%. They feel gay, but they deny it, and live a straight life, so they thing EVERYBODY thinks like that, and gay people are just those who are too weak to resist it.

They don't understand that MOST people don't struggle with it because they aren't gay. I never made the "choice" to be straight, I just am. Gay people don't make the choice to be gay, they just are. If you are making a choice, it's because you are denying who you really are.

(Women used to use bumble a lot but like 90% of them were always marked as “just looking for friends” rather than hookups on their profiles)

I'd just like to say, as a woman who used dating apps a lot in my young 20s, I didn't put "looking for hookups" even when that's what I wanted. If a woman puts on her profile that she's looking for hookups, some guys become scarily entitled. For some reason some people think "wanting a hookup" means "I will fuck anyone who asks." Which is... quite the bizarre leap. Add in, such profiles get inundated with messages - some guys will react poorly if ignored, while others will react poorly if responded to but then rejected. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, with some unhinged folk who have your picture, name, and know what town you live in.

I quickly realized it was a bad idea and never chose that option on a dating profile again.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I figured, but also now theres just straight up separate pools I think. When you create an account one of the settings is specifically "looking for friends". Part of "the game" I'm glad I dont have to race around trying to play anymore tbh. (But yeah no I get totally sucks on the women's end too for the opposite reason it sucks for men)

"This is the second time I've seen this phenomena of grindr spiking in a city where lots of MAGA congregates"

This is easily the 6-7th time I've seen this exact thing. It's hilarious every single time.

this is one of those things that when we're old and trying to tell our grandkids about what it was like to live in this era, nobody is going to believe. "Grandpa said Republican conventions and events used to bring gay hookup sites offline, as if hookup web sites were city-specific domains, each with their own separate database and each running on a potato, as late as 2025"

[-] kingofthezyx@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 week ago

To be fair, this is not actually a graph of outages - it's a graph of the number of users reporting outages. What's more likely happening is that the service itself is working fine, but there is an outsized number of people having problems reaching the service, due to any number of unrelated factors (network congestion, individual device issues, temporary ISP outages or other internet hiccups)

This could happen to any service if the number of people trying to access it multiplies. If 1% of the time someone tries to access a service, there is an issue (even temporary), and the number of people trying to access that service goes from 1000 people (10 issues) to 10,000 people (100 issues) then it looks like there is a huge jump in problems accessing a service, when really the service is working just as well as it was before.

The gay Nazis are gonna be hella mad when they find out xstian nazis have been sizing them up for the ovens the whole time.

[-] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 week ago

there is a major overlap between them

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

And they'll gladly throw each other into the ovens to save themselves. Feels like beating a dead horse to bring up the "jews for Hitler" movement but here we are.

Don't mind comment. Testing.

[-] luciferofastora@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

Replying to test. IDK what you're testing, but just in case it helps.

[-] bigfondue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It's funny they have 8 upvotes right now. Sort of like at a concert when people start cheering for the sound check guy

[-] luciferofastora@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I always love when the people testing drums and guitars and such just jam a little. Sometimes it's the band themselves, but often it's just some stage hands having a little fun at work, and I'll always cheer for that.

"Sitting whilst black was what first drew our suspicion. Then after we were called and we determined it best for him to leave the train, he simply refused to leave, AND asked questions! Judge, as you see, we had no option available other than to arrest and detain. If it wasn't for my colleague being so liberal, we'd have thrown him to the floor too, just like in our training "

Long tradition of two fisted gay men on the Right.

you see, it's actually just a conspiracy by the gays, they all agreed to use the app nonstop at these times and ensure they submit issue reports, all to frame republicans

clearly the more likely scenario

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

Ok, but does this also happen at other large congregations in that location? Otherwise this is just a population density anomaly map.

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

If the only population change is that MAGA is there, then it's pretty specific.
