She's mad that true Queens can be so beautiful while she doesn't know how to contour her Neanderthal facial features.

I don't even say this to be insulting, but if she weren't famous, these bans would absolutely be impacting her personally.

If I saw Marge walk out of a woman's restroom, and I was small minded enough to give a shit, she would not pass.

Hey now thats an insult to those of us with Neanderthal facial features, we dont want to be associated with the inbred Cro-Magnon.

They look like my 2x great aunt. Also still better than the abiotic sludge that is Greene.

She is a blob of Silly Putty in a dress.

Don’t be dissing my silly putty like that 😤. At least silly putty can be molded to be tolerant toward others.

I believe the proper term is ‘bleach blond bad built butch body’

When I was younger and going to clubs, one club in particular always had drag queens just hanging out in the women’s restroom doing their makeup, talking, whatever, because it had a long mirror/makeup area.

They’d use the bathroom and we would share makeup tips and they were just so funny and having the best time and everyone loved them.

No one felt threatened ffs

DRAQ QUEENS TERRIFY ME! I'd MUCH rather be surrounded by Trigger Happy Legally Murderous Police Officers or Child Raping Priests!

Run for Congress and all your dreams can come true.

People aren’t as afraid as she wants them to be. Some of them are, and some are just amped up for violence because something is wrong with them, but for the real horror shows to begin next year if Trump wins, ordinary people (like millions of them) have to be frightened enough, maybe not to take part in anything highly irregular, but enough that it won’t bother them that they know it’s going on. Because after all, these are desperate times.

On some level she knows this, she can feel that the tenor of the times just isn’t matching how she needs it to be, just as birds know when it is time to fly to a new place for the winter. I doubt she understands all the reasons and implications any more than the birds do.

But she can feel that it’s wrong, and so she’s trying to just tell people: Be scared. Be more scared. I command it.

She is not undangerous as she is, but she would be a lot more dangerous if she were more cunning.

Drag queens rage at scary Marjorie Taylor Greene lobbying Congress and demand protection

[–] ATDA 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

People wearing clothing... Needs protection.

If she’s intimidated, she should use her experience as a CrossFit instructor and get the drag queens to lift weights as fast as possible with terrible form so they all get injured.
