For anyone just joining us in the horrifying trainwreck of witnessing the donald trump campaign, please remember: there is no bottom. It only ever gets worse.

We now return you to this gruesome abomination of American political malfeasance, already in progress.

Oh, Grindr during the Republican National Convention definitely proves there are lots of bottoms.

These dudes are so gay for strongmen.

Daddy issues. Tate, Trump, Musk all have deep daddy issues that are easy to look up. Bet every other one does as well.

I wish the right just thought politics was for nerds.

"You vote? What a nerd!"

I love this wish and have adopted it as my own.

It’s even more awkward than I could possibly imagine.

[–] andrewth09@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah... That's pretty damning evidence. There is literally no other way to interpret that.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Whaaaat? Did they not know there was a camera? What is the context of this?

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Based on the graphics, it seems to be from his own stream. I assume that the "excuse" at least, is that it was meant to be some kind of weird joke that falls flat out of context, probably falls flat in context too to be fair, because it's pretty weird.

He's checking to see if the chair is Mr. Vance's type

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

I mean, could be that he was just trying to determine where the awful smell was coming from.

This campaign stop was definitely an attempt to appeal to young people in the aftermath of the groundswell of support for Harris. The problem is the entire Republic platform is on the opposite side of every issue that matters to young people, so they just have these edgelords to engage with.

It also has no effect, considering Adin Ross's entire fanbase is too young to vote.
