"With political sexual fetishes, Republicans and Democrats are reduced to caricatured sexual imagery: the macho posturing of Republican politicians..."

"... is flattened into pure toxic masculinity; bleeding-heart liberal Democratic men become ineffectual doormats. On FetLife, a social-networking site for people with fetishes, there are at least a dozen subcategories of the kink that users can tag in their profiles, such as 'hot conservative girls who make liberals cry.' At least four political humiliation groups, including MAGA Doms/Dommes and Libtard Subs, are also active. Outside of FetLife, BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission and sadomasochism) sites cater to the taboo turn-on with names such as Triggered Liberal Snowflake. According to those who are active in the world of kink, an appetite for this type of political role-play grew during the Trump administration...."
"Unlike in the non-fetish world, where most Biden and Trump supporters have few friends who vote for the opposing candidate, in the fetish world, political opposites mingle. And if you are into political fetishes you may become, ironically, more open-minded to the opposing side’s views, according to RightMakesMites. 'If you’re going to effectively dominate them, you have to know kind of why they hate you. So if you’re sitting there, thinking, "Oh, Trump has the answers on everything. How could anyone possibly think otherwise?" Well, you’re not gonna be a very good dom of a liberal,' he said."

The internet's anus, 4chan, has something of a competition right now between sperglords as to who can get the Bing AI image generator or Dall-E to produce the most outrageous image.

Just a week or so ago some future king of the universe managed to get the Bing AI to produce an image of Trump in a vegan leather harness riding a mutated AOC chasing and beating the rest of 'The Squad' with a riding crop as they beg for his orange 'essence'. Nancy Pelosi looks on from a distance, tearing her blouse like she tore up his State of the Union Speech in a veiled craving for his masculine attentions.

I'm not saying it was me, but Mr. RideSpaceMountain isn't one to underappreciate fine art.

The revelation of fantasy through journalistic license is a popular prescription for isolation in diversity - quantity, not color.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

Don't forget the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics when it comes to kink.

In three dimensions you can't solve them because vortices, which are stable in two dimensions, are unstable in three dimensions and kink and drive fluid flows to smaller and smaller scale lengths, which are too detailed to follow. These small scale flows unfortunately strongly affect larger scale flows (transfer of x momentum in the y direction, a sort of ersatz tensor viscosity) so your large scale flow calculation is wrong too.

So kink is responsible for all the mistakes in Climate Science too.

I've always understood Bernie Sanders fulfills the same fetish function for progressives, but with 53% more kink.

Mike of Snoqualmie म्हणाले...

A hearty thanks to Ann for reading the WaPoo and NYSlimes articles so we don't have to. Only those publications could come up with the concept of sexual fetishes determining voting preferences. What a joke that is. Next thing you know, they'll be promoting how we'll all going to die because the concentration of trace gasses, CO2 and methane, are rising and promoting plant growth!

Enigma म्हणाले...

Back in the Old Days, before the present Lord of the Flies era, this stuff was never discussed outside a John Waters shock film. People emphasized values and functions and needs and goals and the future. Sexual metaphors...who cares unless you are fixated on sex? Who can interpret this hogwash?

Rhetorical question: Has this author ever met a Mormon-like, Boy Scout-like person? One with no ill intent, one with sexual innocence, and one who merely wants to succeed in life? They actually exist, and some vote left while others vote right.

We must collapse before we can rebuild. Late days of Rome.

Pause for a minute and consider back on all the strange and contorted ways that WaPo articles have tried to associate Trump with one nefarious activity or another. It boggles the mind.

WaPoo(D) - out of ideas? Out of Trump outrage?


Trump - wanted to close the southern border
The left - Open the southern border. Not only open it - plan on and execute trucking millions from corrupt central and south american leftist sh*t-holes -> to the open border (Soros money comes in handy)

Trump - Law and Order
The left - Crime Crime and more Crime. Sucks to be you, American people. Crime is OK now.

and on an on...

Everyone can picture our politicians getting things put up their butts by their political enemies, better than, those same people, mooning around with crystals and whatnot. O-Kay. The world grows more disturbing with the internet, the further I get from childhood beliefs, which, I think, explains religion's hold on most: as long as that's always kept at their disposal, they can go on, eyes wide shut.

I have friends who voted for each. And some that abstained or went third-party. It's not always obvious that the group is that assorted since only one category of them feels the need to inform the rest of us about politics.

RideSpaceMountain म्हणाले...

"Don't people just fuck anymore?"

Not for elites. Too boring. Rich/powerful people - who I sadly have to deal with on a regular basis - are incredibly fucked up sexually. A lot of people who go after money or power are doing so to gratify their sexual needs, but just like some dogs who chase the mailman, they're not sure what to do with him if they catch him and are underwhelmed when it happens too many times. So they must constantly find the next 'hit'.

One thing that is not being talked about but makes a lot of sense when you hear it is how many of these people are 'swinging'. Even my wife and I have been propositioned. They're not subtle about it either.

Remember that ultra-rich tech bro who just got stabbed to death in San Francisco because he was in an underground swingers club? Lot of that going on.

Of course who's to know if the Sub will vote as the Dom demands. Perhaps there's kink in lying to the Dom. And then admitting it and being punished.

Who writes this stuff? Who publishes this codswallop? Reading the Washington Post and or the New York Times is a nasty job, best left to those with a strong stomach.

well, THAT is The Point of "mail in" voting..
The Dom comes to your house, and WATCHES as you fill out the ballot..
Then you give the Dom your ballot, and HE "takes care" of it for you.

It's Exactly like card check for union votes. IF you allow secret ballots you just CAN'T trust the proles

Hahahaha.....I've always suspected that Mann, Santer, and Schmidt wore leathers and used ball gags since they are not infinitely differentiable, but I never attributed the problem to the lack of smoothness in three dimensional fluid flow. I've always attributed it to firing off their fluid loads into each others' bungholios in various trajectories and then hiding the decline.

Althouse writes, "I'm trying to read [insert obtuse concatenation here]."

This formulation is becoming ubiquitous. Why is that? Have the dominant media writers simultaneously contracted some form of degenerative neurological syndrome, kuru, perhaps? If so, I suggest curtailing the brain-munching lunching that must be going on. (I recall a number of sympathetic articles on the subject of cannibalism issued by some of those same writers a few years back.)

Or are they just marking time? With absolutely nothing positive to report regarding Joe Biden personally or his advisors, or his lackeys and lickspittles, or his bureaucracy, or the left-liberal/progressive edifice wherever it exercises power anywhere in Creation, and nothing to say about Trump that's likely to stop him, are they filling their column-inches to the gunnels with bilge and bosh just to appear full of something that looks creditably language-like to the semi-literate?

Yes, that must be it. The tumbrels are coming for them, but they'd rather we did not hear the rumble of their approaching wheels.

Stanford's Shanto Iyengar found that the "the strength of people’s attachment to their political parties surpasses affiliations with their own race, religion and other social categories."

Unlike occasional commenter Johnny (one of his troll names) I really am a life long registered Democrat--doing so when I was 21. And my first vote was cast for good old Lyndon Baines Johnson. But now, almost 60 full years later I've smartened up a bit and don't want to vote the straight Democrat ticket. But dang me if the sexy young Dominatrix across the street doesn't come over and lash me into submission whenever I entertain the thought of voting for a Republican. Well not really--that dominatrix fantasy is pure WaPoo stuff.

Pin the tail on the ass is a Democratic kink. Taking a knee and "begging" for #MeToo is forward-looking. Political congruence is exceptional bigotry. Redistributive change is monarchical. Conflating logical domains is a queer induction. Human rites are performed for social, clinical, political, criminal, and fair weather progress.
