The entire MAGA movement is apparently built on daddy issues

Unironically, this. I know they're trying to crack a joke but it's absolutely true. Been saying it for years. The men who enthusiastically participate in this movement are men who crave the attention their own fathers couldn't or wouldn't give them. They are because of this the weakest men among us - and you can tell because they have to cosplay at being tough guys but would go on national TV and say something as degrading and stupid as this and not have an ounce of self-reflection about it because they know they're talking to other people just like them.

It’s also the display of power over those who cannot hit back.

Kids don’t fight back.

Lbgtq people are viewed/painted as weak, they don’t fight back.

Same for Liberals.

Women.

Etc.

So it may have something to do with fatherly attention, but it also has to do with being a bully who can display unchallenged power.

Makes sense, the nazi movement was built on young men who's father's died in WWI.

I need to take up drinking.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

I know this is a joke but yeah don't. I did this for similar reasons and have been perpetually drunk. It just doesn't end.

And literally walking to the liquor store right now.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That reminds me that I need to visit the weed store.

I picked a hell of a time to give up THC.

Heroine* or sniffing glue

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Lol, stopped by there yesterday

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Come on bruh, step your game up! Hard drugs is where it’s at 🙃

Well, opiates are "better" for your body than alcohol

At least there is that... Well, and you can't die from a withdrawal - although it will be not a nice experience

A little cocaine never hurt anyone, but then, who does a little cocaine

Some context for Mel's father,

One week before Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004) was released in American film theaters, Hutton Gibson told radio talk show host Steve Feuerstein that the Holocaust was fabricated and "mostly fictional".[28] He said that the Jews had simply emigrated to other countries rather than having been killed, a view which observers described as Holocaust denial.[28][29] He claimed that census statistics prove that there were more Jews in Europe after World War II than before.[30] Gibson said that certain Jews advocate a global religion and one world government.[28]

Well this explains a lot.

I don't want the image of Trump undoing his belt while Mel Gibson passionately cheering him.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Sugartits is Mel’s pet name for Trump

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

The belt is for show. He's strapped into a fucking girdle so tight, he can't move his torso at all.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm just gonna leave this here... whoever gives Gibson any sort of moral authority is ignorant or a piece of shit.

Jfc. I couldn't finish tape 2. What a waste of a human being

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Yeah honestly I should have probably included a trigger warning because it is the kind of bad that might trigger ptsd for ppl who have lived in abusive relationships. Thank you for reading

Seems pretty in line with republican values to me

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago

I was so much happier when he shut up

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think we can all agree, this is the one daddy that needs to go get the milk and never come back.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is one daddy that belongs in prison.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Daddy's Home

Content warning: includes Roseanne Barr twerking

Damn, i lost 3 IQ points by watching this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Ewwww no don't give that shit views

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Hey now, they also have women issues, issues with minorities, issues with not raping or being a pedo, etc

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Mel looking pretty rough these days

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

it's all that hate frothing at his back teeth for decades.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's got an alcoholic nose. Which coincides with this meme, they have daddy issues and usually have an alcohol problem.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Gin Blossom, though commonly correlated, there is no causation with alcohol.

The ending to Hacksaw Ridge really told me everything I need to know about Mel Gibson.

Up to the end it was a movie about Desmond Doss trying to reconcile his faith with the war. At the end it was Christianity good let's kill the Japs, Deus Vult.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago

I don't quite remember that ending. I thought it was about a goody-bible guy doing his very best in a bad situation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Interesting. I watched it a few years ago and don't remember why I disliked it. That's probably the reason.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I'm interested, too, since I'm not touching that movie. Looks boring anyway.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

That actually makes a lot of sense.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That's want wanting "a leader" does to you

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

...at the bank, and he's drunk.
