This is one of many reasons why I never liked the media going "I'm implying Putin and Trump are gay and wanna do it, that's the joke!"

God, the media sucked at making fun of Trump.

Remember how starting in 2016 EVERY show had to have a character who was "Basically Trump", and the plot was "Trump is bad." And the ONLY thing to do it competently was The Boys; Because it showcased Trump/Homelander as an actual threat and character study into "What if someone has no brains, no skills, all the power, the humility of Julius Caeser and the tolerance of Henry the VIII. And no one in charge is going to do anything about it. Why? Corporate and political entities fully realize he's a ticking time bomb they can barely control, but don't care about that little detail because he's useful to their agenda!"

instead of "Remember when Trump said dumb thing he actually said in real life? Laugh! Trump's an idiot and a loser, but we're also really afraid of him!" Which is not only not funny, but runs close to Fox News' "Weak Willed Tyrant Fallacy"

It's like, I get it, I hate Trump to, but for the love of God, change the fucking channel. I enjoy fiction to escape reality.

I'm really hoping we don't get a second wave of that. Because, holy shit, I understand that "orange man bad", please tell me what the fuck we're going to do about it besides try to make a buck off of it.

Republicans to Trump acting like he's sucking dick: "see how these f*ggots are the problem with America?"

Democrats to Trump acting like he's sucking dick: " you better not make fun of Trump for sucking dick."

The problem is, him acting like he's sucking dick IS the joke to his supporters. It's like the ableist joke he pulled during 2016, and the rapist "locker room talk" he did during the access Hollywood tape.

You're not being a knight in armor by saying "pointing out Donald Trump's homophobic acts is wrong," you're normalizing his homophobia.

Donald Trump should be allowed to fantasize about Arnold Palmer's dick, and Tucker Carlson should be able to fantasize about some man coming into his house and saying "Daddy's home, and you've been a bad girl." They should not be allowed to judge other people who think the same way.

Everything a Republican is against is an admission of what they are for.
