Republican lawmaker shredded for posting AI images of himself beating up Santa on Christmas morning

It's really weird. The type of thing a 5 year old would think of and find funny. He said he came up with these with his kids, and I could believe that. But why didn't his adult brain think that maybe this is something silly to keep to the family, rather than post online?

I can't even figure out the context

And then get mad at the pushback and call everyone: overly sensitive, intolerant, clowns and snowflakes. It's just nothing but ass-faced dipshittery all the way down.

Yes, it is always projection with Republicans.

You can't even have unpaid immigrants doing manual labour in work camps anymore!

It's Elf and Safety gone mad!

I don't get it either. Doesn't Santa work on Christmas Eve? As in evening? As in night time? How is beating him up the next morning helpful at all? Why the holy fuck did this moron not make his stupid fucking pictures set at night?

I had a blast designing with my kids

Hopefully your negativity stays in the comments and not directed at your families

Every accusation a confession LMAO

Imagine him screeching that his children are snowflakes for liking Santa Claus

As someone who has to interact with fundies regularly, I can explain. Fundies are opposed to secular ideology, which they associate with liberal bureaucrats. "Unfunded mandates" refers to social programs, something he's opposed to because he feels that the government can't or shouldn't afford them, and which he associates with the spirit of giving that is central to the secularized christmas holiday. Santa is the mascot of that secular version of christmas.

Yeah, but hopefully the teasing they get from the other kids over this convinces them how stupid their dad really is.

Decided to use Santa as a strawman for "beaurocratic overreach and unfunded mandates". What that has to do with Santa, why the hell Santa was the stand-in for his weird violent fantasizing, what exactly is meant to be funny about any of it, and why he decided to post these pictures publicly? Idk. Also, the implication of this is that he is angry to the point of desiring to do violence to beaurocrats, which is to say actual people in government. And he is wondering why people think he is unhinged.

Apparently mega-fundies hate Santa because he’s too “secular” and distracts from Jesus. Nothing says “Jesus’ love” like beating someone up.

The was on Xmas is over because Xmas already won. We're in an occupied Xmas state.

• The radio has been playing Xmas music for 8 weeks straight.
• You can't walk into a mall, shop, grocery store, it has station without hearing Xmas music. Several channels play 24/7 Xmas movies for most of December.
• A Christmas Story plays on 48 hour loop in Xmas.
• Every other house is covered in lights, props, and inflatable decorations
• Stores start selling Xmas stuff in October.
• Most everyone making content, from the news to YouTube says Merry Christmas.
• Spirit now has Christmas stores.
• There are stores that sell Christmas merch all year long.
• Xmas specials are everywhere on TV leading up to it.
• Fox News pushes Xmas propaganda to keep it ascendant and quash decent.

Clearly Christmas has won. the best anyone else can manage is to fight to push it back across the December 1st line, and it's thusfar been a futile effort.

It's at least 7 Kanyes worse.

Weirdly enough he looks fake and dumb in photographs too.
