Don’t legitimize their garbage talking points, he’s just trying to emulate his orange idol
You think pointing out the dumb hypocrisy of those talking points and lack of principles of those espousing them legitimises them?
Fucking clown shoes.
Very on brand
Came here to type those exact words 💀 what an absolute dork
Isn't a man wearing pumps illegal in his state?
Wearing heals ain't easy. He should just embrace it and get some 6" platform kinky boots.
Why call them heel lifts? Just call them high heels.
That would make them an abomination against Christendom, as it's provable from Einstein's field equations that men wear these clothes and women wear those clothes.
They're not heels, They're gender affirming shoes.
Ironically you could make a valid argument he is crossdressing which might actually be enough to turn his shitty fucking base on him. Start a rumor his name is Rachel Santiago an illegal Colombian immigrant who went transgender drug mule to escape prosecution for homosexual prostitution only to enter the us setup a fake name he took from a gold star family and made his fortune providing backalley abortions but only for whites.
What an odd little man. Democrats should hire Oompa Loompas to follow him around and sing songs about this sad clown.
You’re short. Nobody cares. You’re making it a big deal with these silly shoes.
Would it be okay if we put your hands on top of mine? Like they're my hands? Yes, that looks like my hands. For the website! We're lawyers!
Anti-trans and yet..
Not quite comparable. Trans girls are cuter and rock heels waaay better! But perhaps it's also the non-genocidal vibes that i love.
I personally don't because i never took the time to get used to heels. That and Chelseas are also cute :3
Odd.
The taller candidate wins most presidential elections...
Uneducated people that don't know that whole causation/correlation thing thinks that means using tricks to look taller helps their chances.
It probably has more to do with being taller as a kid too where other kids looked to you as a leader and you dominated sports/games. That stuff snowballs into lifelong confidence and advantages in k-12 means advantages in college, and a springboard into a career.
DeSantis thinks it's the same as wearing high heels in public without practicing first.
Explore the birthdates of professional athletes, and you'll notice a significant cluster in January and February. It often begins with kids playing sports together in school. As slightly older children tend to have a size advantage, parents and coaches start to take notice, focusing more attention on these "promising" young athletes.
That's what happens when you have hooves instead of feet.
What a sad world we live in where a man's height is a selection criteria for office. So dumb.
Seeing DeSADIST hobble around on these things...my word.
They should make a reality TV show of his campaign and call it The Weakest Loser and should showcase how small and pathetic he and his party is.
We have broken the bottom of the barrel and are now digging deep into sludge when it comes to political candidates here.
Pathetic. It's like a combover. Everyone can tell and owning it would be much cooler.
So in a way he is weari g high heels making him a drag queen for his shows,
Just like his idol, Putin.
I can’t imagine giving a fuck, let alone wearing corrective shoes.
Hell I’m balding, so I must shave my head. I like it, other than the possible implications of my support for shitbsgs
I think the insecurity is what is being made fun of here. Bald people shaving their head generally don't get made fun of but, weird comb overs do because one is clearly insecure about it while the other is confidently bald.
In this case he is clearly insecure about his height and is wearing silly shoes to hide it. Or rather his reptilian handlers told him that being taller would improve his approval rating slightly.
Just be bald, just be short, just be fat, have a weak chin or a weird nose. Do things to complement your appearance but be confident about it.
I also think it's fine to make fun of a fascist torturer for things that it would be wrong to make fun of normal people for.
Oh so he and Putin use the same cobbler! Tracks.
They really bring out his ass ok y'all just don't know what sexy means
These boots aren't made for walkin'
What he will try to do.
One of these days these boots are gonna
Ruin his campaign too.
Yep. You can see the arch of his foot going up at like a30 degree slope and his toes are where the ball of his foot should be in the boot.
Why are the toes so curled up?
Nothing in them and leather has a memory.
Size 14 lifted shoes on a size 8 foot. I used to sell shoes and I’d see it all the time from red cap customers
Symptoms include driving a dually crew cab to the office and thinking you will never need health insurance.
Damn if that doesn’t spark more than a few memories. I’d measure a dude and he’d insist on a size 12 safety toe when he measures 8.5 at best so his toe was behind the protective device.. genius.
Cargo cult politics. Looking for how they can be as popular as Trump. Maybe they just need to say horrible things. Perhaps the heel lifts and lean unnaturally forwards. Surely they can get the votes without actually needing Trump! Quick do that to your hair, put on weight, get on TV, blame Mexicans, time's a tickin'!
Just like his inspiration hamburder little hands
