She lost the primary to an apparently equally bad but less flamboyantly evil republican candidate. A win, but not as much of one as many of these headlines are making it sound.

Yup. Unfortunately, that's how most GOP primaries play out these days. Take your pick: weird MAGA cultist (literally insane), gun-fellating psycho (worst of military), extremely wealthy carpetbagger (buddy/donor), very wealthy businessman ("conservative"/anti-tax). Bonus for DEI hiring women and non-whites.

declarations that she would protect Missouri from the “transgender industry."

She won't let Big Transgender get a foothold in her state.

“Well I like that she hates trans people, but I can’t vote against the free market.”

Power Bottoms are gonna beat you up for that.

I definitely don’t want to look it up, but what’s a power bottom?

NegativeInf@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Think of it like the dominant vs submissive dichotomy kinda. Not all men who take dick are dainty little twigs, some like a challenge, some take control.

Gotcha, that makes a lot more sense than what I was imagining.

Thanks!

You are so wrong nephew

She’s definitely a lesbian

Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y

But what about those poor submissive bottoms who want to be weak and gay?

The only decent thing she's done is have trigger discipline in that picture, but I bet even that took a few attempts.
