    I mean, me too buddy, but I found a strong wholesome woman to be my girlfriend for that reason and don’t fetishize happily married politicians as an outlet because I’m not weeeeeeird

      It’s crazy how Trump can’t stop talking about how attractive he finds Kamala. He has compared her to his imported model wife, and to Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, and then recently he decided enough is enough and went on a rant about how he himself is hotter than Kamala.

      I don’t remember a single Dem politician or pundit going there at all. Everyone was busy scrutinizing her record, her success chances, and her policy platform for the next 4 years. But then again, I don’t remember Dems going far out of their way to call every female politician dumb and unhinged, as is customary in Republican campaigning. This weird cult of sexualizing every woman while calling her stupid, no matter the scenario. She could be an accomplished lawyer with an economics undergrad, wearing a pantsuit covered from neck to toes, and they’ll still go there.

        It is certainly weird as fuck. IMO it is a dog whistle trying to imply she made her way up using sex as a tool. I doubt he actually finds her attractive. She doesn’t look like Ivanka.

        Maybe it’s because liberals aren’t weird and don’t view women as pretty objects to be owned. Pretty wild.

        Sounds kinda like manosphere PUA negging bullshit. If most women are out of you’re league, you gotta cut them down to your level to have a shot. 🙄

        It’s always risky trying to interpret Trump’s words, but my interpretation of what he was trying to say is that the magazine used a drawing of Kamala that made her look beautiful, with the unsaid thing being that he thinks she’s ugly in real life. That’s why he was going on about the artist.

        In relation to how trump/repub’s talk about it: I interpret it as such, talking about “pants having a hard time” for a married 59yo woman who happens to have some power and is attractive at the same time definitely sounds misogynistic and reductive at best, and fetishizing/predatory in reality.

        In the context of the meme I know they meant it complimentary, so its… less bad and more “wholesome” but still a bit ick.
