Why, why, why is the GOP so obsessed about sex?

It's not just sometimes, it's all the time.

All of it, I'm sorry to be that guy, but it's so fucking weird. All of the takes on this have been fucking batshit. It's a kid proud as fuck of his dad who he clearly admires. Why is this such a difficult thing for the right to take here? Surely just ignore it rather than go after the lad?

I'm a brit and I thought our political climate was fucked, US is on some totally new level of insane reality show bullshit

Sad part is other countries are taking notes and implementing the same methods. I hate that he (felonald) has enough influence, due to social media, to really mess up the world.

I don't think that's true. There is no chance a disabled child would be mocked for supporting his dad in the UK irrespective of political leaning. Why would anyone take a lead from this?

These people are braindead ghouls who are dying for engagement and have absolutely nothing bad to say about Walz. Theyโ€™re grasping desperately. They also apparently have no idea what the authentic love and sincere admiration a child can have for their parent looks like, let alone feels like, which is actually incredibly sad.

Personally, it brings a tear to my eye to see this vulnerability and sincerity from the young dude. He loves his dad. Iโ€™m confident the family is secure enough in themselves to brush off these hollow fucking freaks and their comments because they truly love one another.

The GOP is, as a policy position, against empathy and emotion. Itโ€™s weird!

What else are they gonna do, talk about policy?

Whilst I share your sentiment, it's on the wrong thread.

I've ranted about Guss' love for his father elsewhere (see my profile).

I know. It's so messed up it makes me feel much better about us.

Because toxic masculinity is so embedded in the culture. Like to the point of "How dare a male person be proud of their father!" Only emotion that is allowed is anger/rage.

Because they're trying to deflect that none of that family love and admiration is going on in their savior's life...
