    1. A bit from the commentary:

      > MAGA crowds loved imagining their leader as Incest Daddy, dishing out humiliating vengeance on “naughty” Americans, whom they imagined as liberals, feminists, queer people, racial minorities. At rallies, they would chant “Daddy’s home” as they fantasized about the horrors Trump would unleash on their perceived enemies.

      > . . .
      >
      > No doubt a lot of this is sublimated sexuality, which is often the case with a right-wing that outwardly embraces Christian right hostility to most forms of sexual expression. But it is the power dynamic that Carlson invoked — the large man versus the small girl — that really distills why Trump and the MAGA movement are so attracted to this “Daddy” idea. Fascism is a vehicle for weak, insecure people to feel powerful in the most cowardly way possible: By violating and abusing those they believe can’t fight back. It’s the attitude of the rapist and the child abuser, someone who pathetically congratulates himself for being “tough” because of his violence, but who fears taking on someone his own size. No wonder Trump is the perfect avatar for it.

      > The fascist theater Trump is putting on in Washington, D.C., right now is a classic example of the “Daddy” mentality — and not just because he always sends others to do his bidding while he hides safely in his make-up chair in the White House. Despite Trump’s hyperbolic rhetoric painting an objectively false picture of the capital as a hellscape of “crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor,” the reason he picked D.C. is that it’s easy — it’s a way to look dominant and tough without actually taking on serious problems that genuinely tough leaders could handle.

      > “When dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now,” Carlson said, as the crowd cheered wildly.

      Weird pedo cult. How are these guys in charge?

      Imagine standing in a crowd of several thousand people all chanting „daddy’s home“ to a guy on a stage who looks like beef jerky with a wig because he’s gonna abuse some minorities.

      That’s MAGA

      They’re destroying our nation. Every single one of them is trash. Whenever they open their mouths, don’t forget to laugh.

    4. Conservative voters are proudly protecting, supporting, enabling and voting for pedophiles, seditionists, traitors and foreign assets. It’s disgusting.

      This began months ago? Campaign even. Fucker’s „Daddy’s home“ utterance was pre-election (a few weeks post-Call Her Daddy appearance by Harris).

      Vance getting called out by the new Pope for trying oto interpret scripture, saying „family FIrst“, then next thing you know they are all calling hismelf Daddy.

    7. People who follow authoritarians have psychological issues about wanting to be disciplined.

    8. Everything about maga is to normalise a lot of weird stuff. Never thought I’d say it but I miss moderate conservatism.

      After 10 years of this the media is still living 50 first date stuff. It is like they are just starting out again.

      We all know this.

      Because fascists are creepy self-hating goobers with low self-esteem.

      The world the children unlucky enough to be born are inheriting is miserable indeed

      “In order to be a part of the totalitarian mind-set, it is not necessary to wear a uniform or carry a club or a whip. It is only necessary to wish for your own subjection, and to delight in the subjection of others.”

      – Christopher Hitchens

    13. Because despite trying to characterize themselves as „rebels“, they’re the biggest authoritarian simps and bootlickers there are.

      You know what makes me really insecure: people who want me and my family dead holding levers of power.

      I think the GOP might have some serious daddy issues.

      Daddy wasn’t there
      To change my underwear
      It seems he doesn’t care

      When I was first baptized
      When I was criticized
      When I was ostracized
      When I was jazzicized
      Steak and kidney pies
      One hour martinized
      When I was circumcised
      Daddy wasn’t there
