Cup Runneth Over posted:south korea presumably lacks the insane strain of conservative evangelical that is common to America haven't talked to many Koreans huh davidspackage posted:I read an article on the Correspondent that compared Trump's approval ratings to his predecessors, and the notable thing was that while Trump's rating was not high, it was really consistent, as opposed to Obama/Bush/Clinton/etc who would have sharp dips and peaks. It's like, his base doesn't care what he does, and to most other people it simply doesn't matter. There wasn't really a solid conclusion, other than the idea that the president doesn't really have to 'do' anything anymore. Not lead, take command or responsibility. Just be a guy who talks. Basically? He's a bit less popular than any recent President was at this point in their tenure and he's also not any less popular than he was on inauguration day. I don't think this points to anything particularly unique to Trump or indicate that Things have ceased to Matter in some profound and novel way, in the same way that a guy who sinks to the bottom of the pool and stays there without phasing through it hasn't just redefined swimming. Anyway it's pretty clear he's not going to persuade anybody either way at this point, he's got a fixed bloc of hardline Republican votes that an opponent can either exceed or not and the only really meaningful thing Trump can do is depress everyone else's turnout. Good thing he didn't go from zero political background to President of the US purely on the back of his capability at insulting other candidates and no other qualifications, and isn't running against a party with no beliefs save that the only true defeat would be if they were forced to do anything at all to earn a vote.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:Hi mom, congrats on getting teacher of the year again. I know we’re in the middle of a global pandemic and you’ve been leading efforts at the school to create safe childcare for children of first responders, but I’m going to have to pull you away from that and lock you up in the MENTAL HOSPITAL because four years ago you “voted against Hillary Clinton” after 20 years of Fox News brainwashing Is this your mom? Because if she is a Trump supporter, she is a terrible person still and you're a bad child for not getting her into cult deprogramming while normalizing that brainwashing that has turned her into a terrible person. Sorry.

There's a definite trend of conservative trolls and bots desperately trying to turn "Karen" around on their opposition. Must've struck a nerve.

Conservatives try to claim our memes because they are terrible at making their own. You can say “ok boomer” or call someone a “Karen” and everyone immediately knows they are being roasted. Conservatives come up with “soy boy” and “pajama boy” and no one outside of right wing twitter knows what the gently caress they are talking about so they can’t get their memes to take off.

Aside from its actual meaning it sounds like a portmanteau of "oval office" and "gently caress" so it scores insult points for that

Doctor Spaceman posted:"Cuck" absolutely sounds like an insult. The politics of it are hilariously revealing but it fits perfectly alongside words like gently caress, prick, dick and oval office. It makes you sound like a loving chicken whenever you use it. It's a hilarious self own.

don't really have a stake in the Meme War but I'm pretty sure GBS was calling everything under the sky "cuck" long before the altright got their sticky little fingers on it, it was last week's overused Monty Python quote of an internet joke by the time Reddit decided to make it their culture war standard

Redditors a couple rungs down the injoke reprocessing food chain just kinda turned last week's wildly overused internet word into their culture war standard because they're a bunch of corny wannabes and yeah y'know elaborately engineering situations where they watch Trump gently caress their wife while they act so mad and horny about it kinda is peak liberalism GBS was using cuck because it was full of dumbo chud culture warriors. Cuck started with 4chan nazis who used it to criticize republicans who refused to go full nazi.

you have to be at least ankle deep in alt right Internet lore to understand why "soy" is supposed to be insulting. it's the same to understand what they actually mean by "cuck," but not knowing that at all it still means "someone is having sex with your wife" which is an age old insult and probably a better insult than what alt righters actually mean by it (you like the wrong kind of architecture or something)

great takedown of the whole soyboy insult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8dfiDeJeDU&t=5s the whole soy makes you weak came from the bodybuilding community, which got it from some doctor's book about soy in which they interpreted it incorrectly. then the alt-right tried to adopt it because they're alpha males

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:If believers truly had the Holy Spirit within them, Hensley argued, they should be able to handle rattlesnakes and any number of other venomous serpents. They should also be able to drink poison and suffer no harm whatsoever. Snake handling as a test or demonstration of faith became popular wherever Hensley traveled and preached in the small towns of Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. Sister-churches later sprang up throughout the Appalachian region.[10] In July 1955, Hensley died following a snakebite received during a service he was conducting in Altha, Florida.[11] It's not that Hensley wasn't a true believer, it's that God wanted him in heaven.

I was unaware of the whole supplement/feminization conspiracy aspect the first time I heard "soyboy" but this sort of association was enough to make the insult clear in context. Soy is a substitute for milk which you only use if you're weak (read: lactose-intolerant) (read: non-European) or if you're some kind of coastal elite who orders soy mocha latte frappewhatevers at Starcucks. Or maybe you eat a soyburger or munch on tofu because you can't handle Real American Meat.

The funniest part is that they think it is feminizing because soy contains phytoestrogens (which may, possibly affect estrogen levels in humans), so they like to make a big show out of drinking cow's milk. Of course they're too dumb to realize that cow's milk contains mammalian estrogen which absolutely can affect humans. They can't even do performative masculinity right.
