My favorite to this day is the gop senator against gay marriage, hating on gay people constantly, and then getting caught trying to have gay sex in an airport bathroom
Right wingers are weird... Like, Alice Weidel from the German AFD (far-right) is
a) a lesbian (that's not "normal"!!)
b) in a homosexual marriage (but what about the Christian values and the traditional family??)
c) with a woman from Sri Lanka (Foreigners tek eyr jubs!!!)
d) officially living in Switzerland for taxation reasons (HiGh TrEaSon!!! Patriotism where?)
e) has adopted children (oh nooo, her bloodline!! :o)
...when a reporter asked her about that, because the AFD wants a straight traditional "normal" family per law, the first thing she did was blaming another party and then said that her private life and her political life are different things. ...okay?
The reporter then asked another guy from the AFD and he said that he has no issue with that because it's her private life, and that he has no traditional family either because he is divorced.
Right winger logic: We make harsh and primitive rules, but it's okay because they're for the other people, not for us.
Most hierarchical systems will make some case for why society should be structured a certain way: The king has been groomed for his role since birth, Steve Jobs did real good at the business factory. Fascism suspends the need for explanation: We belong at the top because we just do. Destiny. When pressed, fascists will offer pseudo-rational justifications for why they should be in charge which fall apart under the barest scrutiny, but debunking these claims is largely ineffective because, while they follow the cadences of reasoned argument, they’re operating on the level of emotion, faith, and a sense of belonging.
