In the video, you can see a pan of the field. The man also had a "Fuck Biden" inflatable "air dancer" sign in the back of his pick up truck parked near the field. Hedlund celebrated and posted videos of teenage boys taking selfies with his massive penis sign at the park.

From what I remember, a lot of Biden supporters were saying that "Let's Go Brandon" (as a proxy for "Fuck Joe Biden") was for GOP pussies that can't just say what they mean. So, now this guy is displaying "Fuck Biden", and everyone is horrified and saying "someone please think of the children!". Should he go back to "Let's Go Brandon" now?

I'm not horrified. I think it's hilarious.

I also think he's an idiot who's going to get a lot of negative attention from the people that used to support him, while achieving no positive results for himself; But I defend absolutely his right to parade his idiocy and/or insanity for all to see.

So, now this guy is displaying "Fuck Biden", and everyone is horrified and saying "someone please think of the children!".

Clearly not everyone or he'd have been run out of there immediately.

My teenage years were the Nixon/Ford & Carter years, roughly.
Had anyone, regardless of political persuasion, done something like that they'd have been arrested or something.
It simply wasn't done.

no, the thing is the hypocrisy (as usual) of conservatives banning books that even mention gay people exist, calling it porn, while not having a problem with a guy putting up a “Biden sucks” sign with a huge dick drawn on it, at a little league field.

As usual they only care about ‘the children’ when it can be used as a weapon against people they don’t like.

Yes absolutely. You are a fucking genius. It's a good thing you have shown that the "Fuck Joe Biden" offended crowd are the exact same people who are offended with penis imagery at a kids game.

You certainly did the right thing posting such a gotcha moment in a "day without stupid" thread. You certainly "owned" the people you were trying to trigger. You so smrat. Big thumbs up.

I thought conservatives didn't want politics in sports... or was that only when it was some type of progressive or liberal thing?

I'm sorry someone complained about your sign.

 

[James Brown]

The Republican National Committee has uncovered the latest scandal concerning Joe Biden. And this scandal is so scandalously scandalous it probably shouldn't be shown to children. If there's anything that's going to wake undecided voters up and compel them to race into the arms of the alleged seditionist and classified-document hoarder Donald Trump, it's this scandal.

Ready?

Spoiler: Click here if you have a strong stomach

Joe Biden petted a dog.

I know that might sound benign to you, but you're missing something very important. Donald Trump hates dogs.

Therefore, it is incumbent upon all loyal Republicans that they must A) also hate dogs, and B) hate any legally-elected POTUS who appears to like dogs.

You thought that Barack Obama was awful for putting spicy mustard on a hot dog, or wearing a tan suit? That is grade-B horrifics compared to showing sympathy and kindness to a Rescue Dog. Well done, RNC. Glad to see you are On The Case!

TPUSA's 'Cuteservatives' answer the important questions about dating while conservative

www.dailykos.com

Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk’s organization for right-wing youth, understands something important about reaching young people: “that politics is always downstream from culture, and if we can reach people where they’re at culturally—that’s how we influence our nation.” One of their big ways to do that is through the creation of their own organizational influencer, Alex Clark, and her “cuteservatives” project. Hoo boy. The good news for progressives is that while organizing by reaching people where they’re at culturally is a powerful strategy and therefore a potentially scary one when the right adopts it, I don’t think this particular effort is going to win over a lot of young women who were on the fence politically speaking.

You may remember Clark from coverage of her calling hormonal birth control “poison,” or telling the crowd at TPUSA’s Young Women's Leadership Summit that “The Top 4 Lies of Modern Feminism” are birth control, abortion, fertility care, and day care. But she’s so much more than that! Interspersed with her coverage of abortion bans and miracle adoptions, she writes listicles like “the cutest swimsuits for cuteservatives this summer” and “the ultimate cuteservative Christmas gift guide.” (I am not linking, but you can find them if you want.) She is really determined to make “cuteservative” happen.

But the goals here are what’s important. Clark and TPUSA want to make “cuteservative” happen because they think it will lure young women to their movement, which will then benefit the young men in the movement through the provision of tradwives. Of course professional right-wing influencers like Clark remain very visible well past the expiration date they’re touting for women in general, but the masses are supposed to ignore that and absorb the “be cute, then be a wife” message.

Groomers?

Could be but I would think it is more of a Siren Song sort of Fox News tactic. Pretty girl makes some brains dumber than others.

And that would make this less stupid and more propaganda tools.

Could be but I would think it is more of a Siren Song sort of Fox News tactic. Pretty girl makes some brains dumber than others.

Like Fox News having lots of blonde women on it and lots of women on it wearing short skirts and dresses. Seems like that network is desperate to attract heterosexual male viewers.

TPUSA's "cuteservatives roundtable" exposes the insidious impact of right-wing propaganda on young women | Media Matters for America

Turning Point USA prioritizes outreach to young women, and the message couldn’t be clearer: Give up your dreams and career pursuits in favor of becoming a wife and mother. That message was impressed on the crowd at YWLS in particular, even when a participant clearly indicated that she had no interest in pursuing a domestic path. Clark’s recent roundtable lends further insight into just how the message is landing.

Later, Clark asked the girls: “Do you think we control a lot more than we think with our ability to give or withhold sex as women?”

If they think that sex is so horrible, why don't they reproduce by artificial insemination? That would spare them the trauma of sex for reproduction.

The right-wing war on public education, whether conducted through radical groups like Moms for Liberty, attacks on LGBTQ+ teachers and children, or racist censorship in schools, is disturbing enough on its own. Turning Point USA’s unique message to girls in high school and college — that their education is a waste of time, that above all else they should be wives and mothers and should suppress their own sexualities to manipulate others — targets not only ideology, but the personal identities of young women, infiltrating their lives in disturbingly intimate ways.

Career women in right-wing media tell young girls to give up their dreams at Young Women's Leadership Summit | Media Matters for America

ABC's show "The Bachelorette":

The woman crowned as the bachelorette each season represents a certain type of conformity. She is feminine, unattainable, a prize to be won, flirty, and non-threatening to masculinity -- the ideal future wife. At the same time, her role is highly subversive to traditional norms of courtship -- she’s “dating” 25 men at once.

then

Turning Point USA’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit, which targets college and high-school age girls, grapples with these same contradictions in a much darker and more prescriptive way. Speaker after speaker emphasized to the audience that they should become wives, mothers, and accessories to the astroturfed conservative movement rather than pursuing a demanding career.

Just like last year: Turning Point USA conference for young women leaders suggests their role is to get married and have babies | Media Matters for America

Yet this conference exists because of the labor of women on the right who clearly value their careers. Speakers like TPUSA influencer Alex Clark, Fox host Laura Ingraham, and The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens both covertly and overtly discouraged the audience of young women from pursuing high-powered careers — but it takes a lot of work to build an audience as a woman in right-wing media. Behind the scenes, Turning Point USA’s events and marketing leadership are also populated by women. Chief Marketing Officer Marina Minas’ biography says nothing of her achievements in the domestic realm. The same goes for the vice president of events, Lauren Toncich.

Forgoing a career in pursuit of marriage and motherhood is not something the women delivering this message can speak about from personal experience.

 

[lpetrich]

This is one of the fundamental contradictions of the Young Women’s Leadership Summit and Turning Point USA’s recruitment of young women overall. If the main message for this audience — many of whom identified themselves as leaders of campus TPUSA chapters — is that they should leave politics to men, seek fulfillment exclusively in the domestic sphere, and focus on indoctrinating a litter of children into an ideology of hate and victimhood, then most of the organization’s activity is irrelevant to its female members.

The sort of contradiction that female anti-feminist activists have long had.

Right-wing antifeminist influencers are starting to get a little uncomfortable with all the woman hating | Media Matters for America - "Exactly how misogynistic should conservatives be?"

Influencers tied to institutional right-wing media have are clashing with “tradwife” influencers in a battle for clicks over extreme misogyny and regressive gender politics.

...
They have claimed that creators in the so-called tradwife and manosphere communities are “narcissists,” grifters, and perhaps worst of all, “not Christian."

Tradwives? Traditional wives, of course.

On social media tradwife influencers create content that embraces the vintage aesthetics of stay-at-home wives and mothers and glorify submissiveness and domesticity. They support ideas that are similar to those promoted by Clark, Stuckey, and others: espousing an antifeminist, often Christian, conservatism that rejects divorce, reproductive freedoms, and LGBTQ rights.

Also,

The reaction comes largely in response to a third online movement has come to be associated with the tradwife community: the viciously misogynistic manosphere movement, which is often linked to alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate. Creators in the manosphere (or “red pill”) community, specifically the anti-woman crusader H. Pearl Davis, tell their audiences that women should submit to men, that they should lose the right to vote, and that rape victims “bear some responsibility” for their attacks.

• Rumble is an extreme right-wing video-sharing platform, but misleadingly presents itself as an “unshackled” alternative to mainstream social media that values “free speech”
• Content promoting the dangerous QAnon conspiracy theory dominates the platform
• Rumble is overrun with extreme racist and antisemitic content
