Pants Donkey posted:Evil Queers (and dirty, slutty whores) intentionally spreading HIV to Poor Straight Men has been a myth for decades now. There have been cases where an angry spouse or partner tries to infect their partner, but it’s clearly to murder someone and not because they get off to spreading a deadly virus. "Bug chasing" implies you're trying to get it on purpose, not that you're trying to give it to someone on purpose but since I don't have a working theory of what his point actually is, I must concede that, yes, it could very well be that

"If we give children books telling them that homosexuality is something that happens and that it's okay; obviously the next step is books telling children to go have sex with people full of STDs."

Knowing the content I knew I couldn't be right, but I initially read it as a critique of the anti-vaccination lobby. Cause without vaccines kids get sick.

It was a retro callback, so it was initially wildly popular...then much like all retro nostalgia items, people got tired of it. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1047317_the-meteoric-rise-and-catastrophic-fall-of-the-pt-cruiser Interestingly it could also be seen as a prototype for the "Crossover" style that everyone and their dog has now.

"bug catching" and "Gift giving" is overwhelming (rare as it even is) a fantasy thing. Like people will write stories about it, read and talk about it but in practise it was and remains rare to the point of significance. However the idea that the devious gays hold "catch aids parties" was a prevalent and powerful tool. Katt fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jan 11, 2018 |

 Those who have followed my cartoons for a while have probably come to this conclusion: Ben Garrison loathes Hillary Clinton. That conclusion is correct. I've despised Hillary for decades, starting with Whitewater, Cattlegate, Filegate, Travelgate and a myriad of other scandals carried out by her and Bill, her ersatz husband. As a young attorney investigating Watergate, Hillary was fired after being exposed as a liar. Maybe that unmasking inspired her to create her own ‘gates.’ She was never prosecuted for any of her corruption through the years, and that probably encouraged her still further. She pushed her bayonet through multiple envelopes. Hill was a huge fan of Saul Alinsky, a so-called ‘radical.’ Another communist, er, radical named Lenin, told his followers to push the bayonet through the mush until steel was encountered. That tactic was used by Hillary and she encountered a lot of mush. She pushed her corruption as far as it could go until the point where she must consider herself above the law. Our fingers are crossed that Jeff Sessions will reopen investigations over Hillary Clinton’s illegal server, the classified emails that showed up on Huma’s laptop, the destruction of evidence, the campaign money laundering, the corrupt Clinton Foundation, Benghazi, the Uranium One scandal, …shall I go on? Hillary needs to be investigated, prosecuted and LOCKED UP! But it never happens. Our Attorney General, Sessions, has recused himself from investigating her crimes. Instead, he’s going after marijuana. The so-called ‘war on drugs’ has been a monumental flop. It’s a waste of lives, resources, energy and time. Have you learned nothing from prohibition, Jefferson Sessions? I realize President Trump was elected to enforce the rule of law. We want illegal aliens kicked out of the country, for example. Obama certainly didn’t enforce that law. But marijuana? Leave that up to the states to decide! -Ben Garrison

OAquinas posted:It was a retro callback, so it was initially wildly popular...then much like all retro nostalgia items, people got tired of it. There was an interesting review I listened to a year ago that pointed out that the modern distaste for the PT Cruiser is largely class-based: as a solid, easy to use and easy to maintain car with nostalgia for the over-60 set, many of the surviving PT Cruisers were owned by senior citizens who didn't use them much, which meant they disproportionately were given to family members who really couldn't get their life together enough to buy their own car, leading to an overwhelming modern association of PT Cruisers with people struggling to make ends meet. So as much as it's "people got tired of a popular item", it's also "people associate it with failure and being poor". Hell, Funky Winkerbean had a PT Cruiser a few years ago, and nothing speaks to depression and failure as much as that comic strip's characters.

I can't say I'm surprised that we're still getting "But her emails/benghazi/etc." a year into Trump's presidency, but it's still impressive how the right-wing runs entirely off projection and racism.
