Toxic Meme, Proceed with Caution

If beauty is skin deep then so is ugly. Sooner or later one or the other will come roaring to the surface for all the world to see. It's clear character may have something to do with it.

Yup... they can't hide it... it just oozes out...

Yeah, but political ideology doesn't determine if someone is ugly or not

Hi Octavia, I actually think that character is more important than looks. I simply made an observation of how left leaning women are almost always unattractive. They are always scowling and their hate for others seeps out of them manifesting as a haggard appearance. I have not seen one of these women accomplish anything for the good of their country or the people who live in it. All they do is attack those who disagree with them and complain about things that they don't like all while putting forth no effort to make a difference for the better. And I was also just trying to make a funny meme. Sorry if you're offended, but I'm still going to make jokes. It's called having a sense of humor. 🤷

First, I still think that left leaning women are unattractive, not only physically but mentally. Constantly having a sour attitude and outlook on life, people, politics, etc. is just as unappealing as a sour expression. I'm not talking about stereotypes here; I'm talking about individual people as a whole.

Second, I cannot think of one thing that these women have done to better the lives of Americans. I'm talking about essential things that ensure safety, survival, and good living. Have they fought or wanted to fix the border crisis that's letting in a steady stream of drugs and criminals? No. No legislation has been introduced and there has been absolutely no discussion of it. Have they worked to combat inflation and the looming recession? No. They only use taxpayer's money to fund what is in their best interests, not that of the American people. People are struggling to survive and are losing their livelihoods. There are so many other issues that the people in this country are facing and they are doing nothing about it. "Accomplishments", in my opinion, is the work of helping others and making a change for the better, for others as well as yourself. What have they as politicians and activists accomplished for Americans?

Third, I have yet to say that all Republicans are perfect and do no wrong. Many of them are just as or more corrupt as their Democrat counterparts. If you are conservative or liberal it doesn't matter, you shouldn't attack someone for their political views or opinions. I do not condone that behavior, and neither should anyone else in my opinion. But people still do, both Democrats and Republicans. It's called freedom and we are allowed it here in this country. And once again, they haven't done anything to better the security and wellbeing of American citizens.

Last but not least, fourth. "Oh, don't get it twisted. I'm not offended." From the sound of that statement, it kind of seems like you are offended. Then again, I might just be tone deaf.

Having an opinion on someone's viewpoints is not stereotyping. However, you thinking that I would group liberals/democrats around one picture I randomly found on the internet means that you are grouping me with the stereotypical Conservatives/Republicans trope and what you think we are like. That is stereotyping. What you said about finding many conservatives to be unattractive physically and mentally, but then saying I was in the wrong when I said the same about liberals is considered a double standard and/or being hypocritical.

Yes, physical appearances and mentality are two entirely different things, but they also go hand and hand with each other. Say someone isn't that attractive physically but is found attractive because they have positive attributes like kindness, generosity, helpfulness etc. Even though they aren't good looking, they are liked for the way they act and view things. Mentality also plays a huge role in how you physically look. That's what I was getting at with the meme, if you are bitter and angry all the time you aren't going to exactly be a looker, even if you are considered to be beautiful/handsome by societal standards. These women are so full of hate for those who think differently from them, things that they don't like, etc. that it come out physically. Anger and hate does that to people, and it's not just Democrats either.

In my opinion, no, I don't think Democrats care about making the country better when they are actively tearing it down from the inside out. Our country is in terrible shape, and they only have interest in things that benefit them or make them happy. They want a utopia; instead they are creating a dystopian nightmare. Also fighting for equality is a great thing to do, but what about the economy, rising crime, the border crisis and protecting our citizens?

Finally, saying someone is unattractive is not attacking someone’s views or opinions. Again, it is rather hypocritical to say the same thing that I did to only turn around and say I'm in the wrong.

Hi Modda, as I had said before when replying to Octavia, I have yet to say that there are no angry and hateful Republicans/Conservatives, as which there most definitely are. As there are a surplus of angry and hateful Democrats/Liberals. By saying that those who lean to the right wing of politics are only "steeped in anger and nothing but", is truly ironic in itself by ignoring your own political party's anger and hate that it steeps in. It is also stereotyping all conservatives into one group, as most Liberals do without a second thought. When any Liberal hears the word "Conservative" they immediately think of angry men and women waving Confederate flags while worshiping the bad orange man himself. That would be stereotyping, and it is a pitifully inaccurate stereotype at that.

It is also quite ironic how you said that "The Right Wing as a whole is reactionary and thus tends to be a tad bit on the perpetually irritated side." I would have to say the same about the left wing. Anytime there is a view or opinion that they don't like, they try their best to attack the arguments of their conservative foes. Exhibit A: this meme. Also, as well as right leaning platforms, left leaning platforms are almost always anti-something, as that is what platforms usually do. They fight against or for certain topics according to their views or opinions about politics, again, as they usually do.

Once again, having an opinion (emphasis on opinion) is not attacking anyone. As shown in the meme, that is my opinion, and you don't have to like it or agree with it. As for defending my statements and discussing "ire", as you would put it, I believe I have completed that task successfully and thoroughly. I believe you are completely false in using the phrase "ad hominems" here to describe my arguments, as I have attacked no one's character or motive. I have only shared my personal opinions on the matters at hand. But I do think the phrase is excellent in describing your post and "arguments" about my opinions.

Despite your rather impressive vocabulary, you have failed in making a successful or solid argument. You only went after my own opinions, as shown in the meme, because you did not like my opinions. That is completely fine, and I would love to hear your arguments about political topics, but it is not an argument to become hostile towards someone with a different opinion from you. Please try again or take your attempts of slandering others elsewhere.

I don’t think judging them on their character does them any favors if we’re being honest here
