Also conservatives: go away I'm 'bating!
horngry
Thats what I am at two am when I wake up with a boner and a craving for cheese.
This is some pro level trolling. She's gonna give some of them aneurisms.
I know Obama was unjustly ostracized for wearing a tan suit, but I honestly (I'm European) don't know why a tan suit is a bad thing? Is it frowned upon for some reason? Do tan suits have a backstory (before the Obama thing) that I should know about?
Honest question.
It was absurd nonsense; yet one of many examples of how the far-right in our country will manufacture outrage just to justify their existence.
There was another incident wherein the far-right went after Obama used Dijon mustard on something.
The far right was reaching for anything at all they could personally attack Obama with. The only things they ever came up with was the tan suit and him asking for Dijon mustard. Compare that to any recent Republican candidate.
Don't forget not saluting a military officer. Even though, as a non-military civilian, he shouldn't be using military salutes anyway.
Because I guess to be presidential you have to wear dark colors when talking about serious topics? It was very stupid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controversy
But to be clear, because OP was asking.
This was complete bullshit. The hero of the Conservatives, Ronald “Let’s trade Missles for Hostages with the Iranians and use the proceeds to Defy Congress in Nicaragua” Reagan wore tan suits.
Look up “terrorist fist jab” and then subsequently realize that racists don’t use thoughts or logic, only hatred and idiocy.
A tan suit is frowned upon by regressives if the occupant is black. Same as using mustard. And greeting anyone too casually.

It’s fantastic and I’m loving this 🍿
I hope she posts herself putting Dijon on a burger as a follow-up
It's not actually the color of the suit they're having issues with.
There's a really bad birthday suit joke/pun here somewhere. Best to back away and avoid it.

I can never understand the kind of slime that finds it in them to not just begrudge someone for how they express their own joy and laughter, but to feel confident in voicing that begrudgement like it's indicative of anything but their own complete defectiveness as a morally sound human being.
It’s simple psychology really. When someone is so angry or sad or hates themselves so much, seeing other people being happy and/or succeeding reminds them of their own pitiful existence.
I’m no psychologist, but I believe they call it envy.
Envy also being one of the cardinal sins of Christianity
Sinning is the favourite pastime of Republicans. The only part I haven't been able to pin down is whether they prefer greed or wrath
I don’t know. When I see throngs of joyful MAGA cultists, and that smug grin of their dear leader, I feel a certain level of disgust myself. It’s certainly not envy.
They’re happy because they adore him and what he symbolizes (white supremacy, misogyny, Christian nationalism, homophobia, etc.) - he’s happy because they adore him, and he’s a raging narcissist.
Those things disgust me, and so their happiness disgusts me.
So conversely, their hatred of Kamala & the DNC’s joy could be because they hate what the left symbolizes, in their view.
Not just envy imo. There are plenty of people in my own circle that I'm envious of, but am nothing but thrilled for them over their well deserved success.
We're seeing the bastard child of envy and hatred... they want what she has, but more than that, they want her to suffer.
What strikes me is how this is really just the smallest example of how deeply weird US politics is.
It's been going around for as long as I can remember it at this point.
I remember when I was a kid the news was trying to mock Obama over "mom jeans" of all things. I still don't get it.
Didn't even notice, and I hope she did it on purpose
You betcha.
Americans will legit find any reason to complain. She by far isn't the first* and she sure as hell won't be the last. Also wanted to point out how fucking sad it is, that the one time Americans pretend to care about the world's perception of the US, it's a politician's ever so slightly less boring wardrobe. We don't care, the color even looks good on her. What we care about is the senile old man ranting about random companies for an hour, instead of holding a god damn speech.
Hope that smile fries all those evil repuglican souls to ash
im way out of the loop here, what's up with tan suits?
The "controversy" was literally that his suit was tan?
like that was the whole thing?
caring about a tan suit is caring too much about too little.
He also put Dijon mustard on a hot dog once! The horror! The horror!
Seriously, I don’t know what’s worse: that they even made such a big deal of those ‘controversies’, or that both actually gained traction.
wow I'm so glad i missed these.

The tan suit controversy reminds me of that one guy who got canceled for going "Gyahh" during a rally.
Howard Dean. Guy was on track to make a serious run for the White House before he let emotions get the best of him. Fucking wild how naive we were back then.
The famous Dean scream!
