Is there a light they can shine between their ears to reverse the damage caused by watching Tucker Carlson?
LOL do those people think that the ears are just holes that lead straight to the brain? XD

ETA: just looked this up. So it's one of those "quantum arthritis bracelet" type of things. I figured as much.![]()
I feel fascinated with the way radical right wingers talk about "masculinity." It's so obviously coming from a place of insecurity but they don't see that...

(I'm hardly an expert in these matters, but wouldn't the increased temperature around their scrotums (scrota?) reduce their sperm count? Maybe he's been nobbled by Soros and is secretely shilling for the Great Replacement!)

I think Carlson's "documentary" marks a shift though where the insecurity is no longer plastered over but is brought to the front and acknowledged - albeit as virtuous, a legitimate concern for the future of humanity. The message isn't "libs are trying to emasculate us and we must resist", it's now "we (American men, I guess) are definitely, admittedly less masculine now and this is the libs' fault because X Y and Z".I feel fascinated with the way radical right wingers talk about "masculinity."

The difference is important because when masculinity is something that merely has to be defended the most you can really ask men who consider themselves masculine to do is steadfastly keep doing what they're doing and resolve to never change; but if masculinity is something that must be reclaimed, well now suddenly you can sell them something - products and services that will help them get their masculinity back. "Caveman diets", pills that block lib-chemicals, testicle-tanning machines, and whatever else.
