    This post does not at all showcase how fucking weird and uncomfortable that speech was.

    I recommend listening to it for the full extremely uncomfortable experience.

    Legit one of the scariest things I’ve seen this October.

      Yeah this shit was creepy as fuck. Colbert showed a clip of it, otherwise I never would have seen this garbage. Mainstream media news should be showing this more. Not that I guess the MAGAs really care. They probably like this shit.

      save some folks a click, from the x-post OP linked:

      During the rally Carlson, who has three adult daughters, compared the US under Trump to a naughty girl being disciplined by her father.
      “lf you allow your hormone- addled 15-year-old daughter to slam the door and give you the finger, you’re going to get more if it” Carlson said. “There has to be a point at which Dad comes home.”
      At this point the crowd erupted into raucous cheers.
      “Dad comes home and he’s pissed” Carlson continues. “He’s not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them… And 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. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl, and it has to be this way”
      I mean. What. In. The. Fuck. Carlson just gave himself an erection in front of a crowd.

      He needs to be investigated for child abuse. Nobody who in their right mind with 3 daughters would say that.

    I miss the good old days when conservative politicians were only perverts behind closed doors, rather than running their fetishes up the flagpole and expecting everyone to salute them.

      And if one person doesn’t salute them with tears in their eyes for how patriotic their fetish is they’ll cry on camera about how their free speech is being taken away for weeks. Conservatives’ have always been quick to say that but it’s scary how often they get away with it now.

      President Camacho knew when to listen to someone who knew more than he did. Trump does not, never has, never will.

      Camacho was an idiot, but he was an idiot that was fully aware that he didn’t have all the answers.

          The USA currently looks to the rest of the world as an idiot who will listen to someone who knows more than they do because they are fully aware they don’t have all the answers?

      No way President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho would have been a cool as fuck. Fucker Tarlson will never be anything other and a weak little boi who only has money because daddy gave it to him.

      The world suffers a lot from fathers who love material wealth and power more than they love their own children. It seems to be the background of many of these right-wing figureheads, and they’ll do the same to their own kids.
