  • But where’s the bigotry or value judgement in the meme?

    Brokeback Mountain is essentially a love story, and this is clearly a photoshop homage to that - albeit used to needle Trump’s and his follower’s insecurities and/or homophobia. Which is entirely their issue to grapple with, absent the faces this is an otherwise entirely mundane and not at all obscene image.

    If the image had Trump dressed in a ultra-gay stereotype like neon hair, rollerblades, short-shorts, and a “Got Dick?” crop top, you’d have more of a point. But there are, have been, and will be gay cowboys.


  • The Mar-a-Lago face is a uniquely Trumpian aesthetic, but it’s not exactly like the chief worm himself is taking efforts to also be healthy, let alone exude a vision of beauty. It’s performative for The Boss alone, because that’s the twisted vision of female beauty that Trump wants to look at whilst he eats himself into Holden Bloodfeast’s sluglike form.

    But the hypocrisy and narcissism of these people quietly abusing GLP-1s is a new data point on a long trend line of image-obsessed fash. Publicly defending a child sex trafficker is a wild new escalation, especially for a party that robes itself in ‘family values’ and ‘god fearing’ politics.
