Lemmy is an echo chamber but I'll say if for those rare republicans in the back:
If a prominent democrat has skeletons like this in their closet, they deserve the same scrutiny / disrepute as any republican.
Party means nothing

Seriously one side is objectively worse.
Not what I said at all. Try again.
This is about the common republican whataboutism, and clarifying that no political party is above scrutiny.
I read his comment as also being addressed to the Republicans in the back: a concurrence, not a rebuttal.
So many people online take replies as contradictions when they're meant to be support. It's frustrating.
Let's not get this twisted, there are likely zero Republicans on lemmy, and if there are, they can only be counted on one hand.
Heh there are conservative comms, they are bizarre.

Yeah, that's why the democrats called for the immediate resignation of weiner, Adams, menenedez, and cuomo. Republicans circle wagons every time one of their own is credibly accused. Even bringing it up in the same context is disingenuous.
Sing that song to Alan Franken. Then sing it again to Anthony Weiner.
cheating, rape, and violence ARE conservative family values, as long as it's the men doing any of those things
Don’t forget incest. There’s a reason the south has billboards saying “she’s your daughter, not your date”. If the problem is so bad that people are paying to run anti-incest campaigns, there’s a real issue with the people living there.
ready for some creepy AF handmaid's twilight tale zone dystopia shit?

no, i don't see that there's any such similar thing for boys
women doing the same would be progressive.
I have never taken any moral criticism from the right seriously. They are corrupt immoral hypocritical assholes.
That said, I will call out any democrat doing unethical shit because I don't give a shit about party or celebrities. If you are a piece of shit, I don't care about the letter next to your name.
And if you have an R next to your name, I give zero shits about any of your opinions you morally bankrupt piece of crap.

I can so I should, and if I did then it was right.
The Nationalist Christian logic .... if I did bad things and God didn't punish me, then I was allowed by God to do these things and get away with it.
These are the reasons why I don't like Nationalist Christians and I don't believe in God ... any God that would allow this stupidity is in a universe I don't want to take part in. I would rather burn in hell rather than join some fanciful heaven filled with psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists.
Also I always liked the short form of calling them "Nat-Cs" ... Nationalist Christians
Rules for thee. But, not for me.
I wonder how Elon’s “Kung Fu lessons” with Ghislaine Maxwell panned out.
I wonder if he “sparred” against 12 year old girls.
Even cheated on their kids!
I don't know what you mean by this and I may be better off not knowing

Musk actually got two of the three mothers of his children to pretend it was all good and a big misunderstanding on their part.
His ex-wife still thinks he's an asshole though.

you dont have a trump bible? /s
I feel like the whole 'Family Values' thing hasn't been a talking point from the republicans in a long time. Have any of these 3 actually lectured about family values?

I like these things but would prefer them as a text post to politcal community or such so its searchable and because I tend to block meme communities. Basically im saying this is way to good to be a meme.
I tend to block meme communities
