Surely it can't be that dumb?
“I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”
Ok, it's that dumb.
Doing a great job of not being weird.

It’s not dumbness, it’s cravenness. He’s saying things he thinks MAGA-bros like to hear. “Yeah brother, high-five! Burn those libs!”
Also the subtext here is that Jeff Bridges isn’t manly. I don’t think there’s a cure for that level of delusion.
I was talking with some scientists who told me that a mere touch on the hand from Jeff Bridges not only impregnates a woman, but also transitions her into a man.
I wake up each morning hairless, then I look into the mirror and speak the name Jeff Bridges three times. Instantly I’m transformed into a kind of human carpet covered from head to toe in three whole feet of man fur.
And each morning you really tie the bathroom together!
That was basically my reaction reading this. I was like “okay, I’m not posting this one, it’s obviously exaggerated… actually, it’s not exaggerated at all”
Fuck I could have saved so much money!
(It's bullshit anyway, my entire congressional delegation was women I voted for at one point, and I still had to get hrt)
Top weird for the week, so far. Is weird now a Republican team sport or are they trying to out weird each other?

It's pretty gay to like girls.
- this ass hat
Yeah this is definitely a prelude to fellas, is it gay to be interested in intimate physical and emotional contact with a partner of the opposite sex
"I don't care if you take hormones or get surgery you'll never be a woman"
"If you vote for a woman you are one now" 🫠 my god they're all so pathetic
I didn't know I was trans (from voting for Gretchen Whitmer) but I really don't want to go to the SoS to have the gender on my license changed. I suppose while I'm at it I'll go ahead and become black, since that's apparently a thing we can do now, and I'm not making two fucking trips.
I'm not sure of how MAGA rules work, but I think you can only become black if you have an Indian mother, because Obama has a white mother but he didn't become black.

Do it. Become women. Bring your cat and join the coven of our eternal sisterhood!
I'd rather identify as a woman than whatever he thinks a man is.
Well it’s obvious, a man is someone who votes for a male.
It’s why there is not one female Trump supporter.

If he thinks voting for a women is feminizing, imagine his reaction when he finds out about the men who literally get married to women.
I got married to a woman.
Can confirm, I can’t stop my feminization, my wife can’t bake so I make all the tradwife things like cakes and muffins. She also hates painting her nails and we can’t afford regular manicures, so I’ve become very good at trimming and painting nails.
On the other hand, I’m a tradey and taught my wife how to do basic home repairs and upgrades, so I haven’t touched my tools in months because she just does it while I’m away because “I shouldn’t have to work too much at home”
It’s almost like people are just people and will do what they need to do regardless of if it’s gendered or not.
This whole feminization thing is stupid. Men have done stereotypical feminine things for thousands of year, and women have done masculine things for just as long. It used to be taboo a century ago for women to wear pants, now no one bats an eye. It’s been a running joke that men can’t cook for decades, even though now all of my male friends, single, dating, or married, are all very proficient cooks and often cook more than their wives.
The people obsessed with gender are insane. How someone acts in their own life should be no concern of anyone else.

So...that would mean that women who vote for men "transition" to men? Right?
It’s also very likely that Kamala Harris has voted for men in the past, meaning she would have transitioned to man by now negating the risk of male voters turning into women.

TIL I’m a transwoman.
Congratulations!!!! 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, I guess. Shame I can’t compete in the olympics or read books to children any more though.
You haven't even considered the public bathroom situation yet.
Good point. I'm so used to using unisex bathrooms at home...

(why have I had to comment this on news articles about conservatives twice recently, this is getting weird)
One thing I've noticed happens a lot is that, in trying to demonize them as socialist boogeymen, conservatives often make Democrats seem way cooler than they actually are.
By the way, if you want to mix it up, here's a similar meme you could comment:

Extremely fragile far-right snowflakes. It must suck to have such a fragile ego that it drives every decision. Basically an NPC at that point.

I voted for a woman once. I grew a fantastic pair of tits before I'd even left the voting station.
But don't worry, vote for a man next time and you grow your testicles back again.
I do miss those tits though.

So either women are the stronger sex because they don't transition when they vote for men or all men that had sex with women that voted are gay.
I can absolutely see these fucking galaxy brain jagoffs saying you're gay if you sleep with a voting woman.

Just....so fucking weird. Every day, with the being-weirder-than-they-were-yesterday act.
God, I wish it were that easy.
I accidently voted for Hillary Clinton once and my penis fell off right there in the polling booth.
transphobes: men can't become women
cis man: votes for a woman
transphobes: omg you became a woman!
People who un-ironicaly listen to Jesse Waters transition into idiots.

Man, all those women in Colorado and Georgia who voted for Boebert and MTG. And literally everyone in Mexico is now a woman.
-
Thousands of dollars on hormones.
-
Voting one time in a national election.
Amazed trans-folks don't go with the cheaper option.

Weirdo
Ok. So don't vote for Majorie Tyalor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Joni Earnst, Marcia Blackburn, Kay Ivey, Kristi Noem... I can literally keep going for a very long time.
What the fuck?
That's fucking weird lol
I never realized it was that easy. Imagine paying all that money for hormone therapy when you could just vote
And women who vote for men grow beards overnight. End women's suffrage; save on razor blades and shaving cream!
Jesse Waters is weird. Why is he so weird? It's so weird of him to say these obviously weird things!

if only it was this easy 😔
It seems like a stupid statement that deserves to be made fun of, which it is, but it’s also indicative of one of the dark parts of the conservative mindset. There’s the bigotry of course, but there’s another layer on top of that. It’s like, since you are obviously one of the good true Americans (a straight white male, naturally), it is beneath you to submit to being ruled by one of those “others.”
Submission to a weak inferior sub-human leader is a weak and cowardly act. It is also an insult to your fellow nobles, so you are betraying yourself and “your people” by voting for somebody who is clearly not the right type of person.
Repeat and reinforce this shit over years and decades, make it part of your group identity, and you get things like “better a Russian/felon than a Democrat” (because democrats love being cucks for “diverse” people obviously) and a deep-seated visceral reaction to somebody who is an other in so many ways. A woman AND multiple nonwhite races, oh my!
Source: am straight white male who grew up in religious conservative area and had to work to shed all the tribalism and anger and negativity. (It’s part of the wider problem of so many conservatives defining their identity by the things they hate)
