        You think pointing out the dumb hypocrisy of those talking points and lack of principles of those espousing them legitimises them?

      That would make them an abomination against Christendom, as it’s provable from Einstein’s field equations that men wear these clothes and women wear those clothes.

      Ironically you could make a valid argument he is crossdressing which might actually be enough to turn his shitty fucking base on him. Start a rumor his name is Rachel Santiago an illegal Colombian immigrant who went transgender drug mule to escape prosecution for homosexual prostitution only to enter the us setup a fake name he took from a gold star family and made his fortune providing backalley abortions but only for whites.

      Not quite comparable. Trans girls are cuter and rock heels waaay better! But perhaps it’s also the non-genocidal vibes that i love.

      I personally don’t because i never took the time to get used to heels. That and Chelseas are also cute :3

      The taller candidate wins most presidential elections…

      Uneducated people that don’t know that whole causation/correlation thing thinks that means using tricks to look taller helps their chances.

      It probably has more to do with being taller as a kid too where other kids looked to you as a leader and you dominated sports/games. That stuff snowballs into lifelong confidence and advantages in k-12 means advantages in college, and a springboard into a career.

      DeSantis thinks it’s the same as wearing high heels in public without practicing first.

        Explore the birthdates of professional athletes, and you’ll notice a significant cluster in January and February. It often begins with kids playing sports together in school. As slightly older children tend to have a size advantage, parents and coaches start to take notice, focusing more attention on these “promising” young athletes.

          Huh?

          Maybe we’re from different countries. In America it’s not about calendar year, it’s about school year. So if you’re 6 years old in August (or whenever school starts) you start 1st grade. Some kids are 6 years 0 months, and some are 6 years and 11 months. They all go to the same class.

          Close to the cutoff and some parents will hold back or get them in early.

            That’s exactly why this happens. At young ages, even an extra six months can give you a huge leg up in sports. So coaches see a first grader performing really well – because they have that six month advantage – and hype them up, which ends up snow balling.

            I love when someone is belligerently wrong and down votes people that are correct. Go back to Reddit. I need to log off

              Are you complaining about me?

              Your comment already has a down vote, and you’re agreeing what I first said… And I don’t see anything belligerent in my comment.

              But I dont know who else you’d be complaining about, I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.

              Quick edit:

              Did you reply to the wrong person? You’re not even the person I replied to

    What a sad world we live in where a man’s height is a selection criteria for office. So dumb.

    Seeing DeSADIST hobble around on these things…my word.

      Now now. No need to call the legendary Marquis names by tainting his last name. He would not have enjoyed being in any way associated with DeSantis.

        The Marquis de Sade was a rapist, torturer, and pedophile.

        Whatever credit you give to his other philosophies or the community that bears his legacy, his brand of sexual liberation was a front for oligarchal cruelty and nothing more.

    They should make a reality TV show of his campaign and call it The Weakest Loser and should showcase how small and pathetic he and his party is.

    We have broken the bottom of the barrel and are now digging deep into sludge when it comes to political candidates here.
