    Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”

    LOLOLOL. I always assume those that are consumed by their hatred of trans to have some rather deep-seated issues of denial. It’s just a matter of if/when we’ll find the smoking gun…

    Normal Americans just don’t obsess over things like trans.

    The party of “personal responsibility”, and of “freedom” and of “family values”, everyone!

    Good grief, what a fucking bunch of WEIRDOS.

    GOP: “It’s only political rhetoric and divisiveness to say that we’re extremists and Nazis.”

    GOP politician and official nominee: “I’m a Nazi porn addict who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

    This guy’s career will end because he said the quiet part out loud…

        Speaks to character, if you run as a “family values” candidate while cheating on your spouse. It’s not inherently disqualifying, especially compared to self identifying as a Nazi, but it’s not something that the press or the people should ignore.

        “What people do in the sheets” rhetoric is for stuff like kinky sex or being gay…nobody should care if he likes getting pegged. Nobody should care if he has an open relationship. Nobody should care that he likes trans porn, which he said he does. The problem with cheating is the character concern of caring about your wants no matter who it hurts. That is a bad characteristic for a political leader.

          Nobody should care if he has an open relationship.

          And yet here we are. I understand the stigma with Ashley Madison. If it were tinder, Grindr, or any other hookup site that is not a “cheating” site would that be ok?

            The sticky part is that the key difference between cheating and an open relationship is consent, so the app/site itself doesn’t change anything, his partner’s knowledge and acceptance of his use of the app/site does.

        Because he’s a hypocrite. His platform is on family values, but says things like “women who get abortions can’t keep their skirts down”. Even though his wife has had an abortion and now apparently either has cheated on his wife or prepared to. He can’t keep it in his pants.

        He referred to himself as a black nazi, and is into trans porn. That in itself isn’t an issue, however he’s a republican whom do not support trans rights

          This.

          So much this. Most normal people do not care what others do in the sheets. The qons, however, seem to keep themselves up at night in a fever sweat over what others do, and make that a primary plank of theirs. Normal people only care what these qons are doing in the sheets because these weird jackasses are shown to be hypocrites.

        Because it is wrong.

        I am not judging sexual practices. I am judging those who choose to betray their partner. Here is the person he is most committed to in this world, the person who expects undying loyalty in exchange for the same in return, and he is seemingly shitting all over that vow.

        If you only care about practicality, then consider that one will not care for the people in general if they cannot care for those closer to them. Honesty and compassion mean nothing to this man.

    It would take an epic fuckton of time and money to create an elaborate fake connection that CNN found here.

    Archived website data, publicly available information, and the clear lack of self awareness really make it hard for him to deny.

    What I don’t understand is where he could have developed these ideas from. Like Uncle Ruckus would be proud of him

    It seems CNN did excellent research in tying Mark Robinson to minisoldr.

    And this article is very revealing, and shows how gross, sick this individual is. There’s something really wrong with him.

    The article is disturbing - and it’s worth noting that CNN has withheld more evidence that is evidently much more disturbing. Goodness…

      Yep.

      If he had something like a normal healthy interest in sex, even with a bit of a kink, nobody would care.

      Announcing that you’re a Nazi and pro-slavery is the problem here.

          The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.

          Would yall stop with this rhetoric? You mean as long as voter suppression tactics continue to deny a lot of people their right to vote including by making voting inaccessible and/or unfair? Hopefully despite that people can rally and fight against it and use their rights and vote?

          It’s not a “laziness,” thing, it’s a serious systemic issue with our voting process. Stop victim blaming.

            Y’all? Excuse me sir/madam, but it’s y’all that needs to cut it out with the rhetoric.

            The level of effort to cast a vote, even in states with aggressive voter suppression, is still lower than the impact that the next 4-6 years of policy will have. Every state has options for mail voting or early voting.

            You’d have a hard time convincing me that someone who intends to vote would decide not to unless they’re simply too lazy to be bothered. If mild shaming encourages even a single person to exercise their right to vote, it’s worth doing.

            In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that it’s people like you coming out here and coddling people with your sYsTeMiC iSsUeS that is enabling people to consider voting and instead think, “hmm, do I want to deal with the systemic voter suppression issue or should I just skip voting this time? Yeah, I don’t want to wait in a line or cast my vote early, so best to just sit this one out and complain about the outcome.”

            It’s not victim blaming, it’s reminding people that they have a CIVIC DUTY to vote, just like registering for the draft or getting called for jury duty.

              Okay, so this was about your ego the whole time, got it.

              I one time stood in a line to vote in a caucus primary for over 4 hours. We were crammed in a gym because turnout was so unexpected and huge, and it took another 2 hours once everyone was inside to actually finish voting. People who were disabled had to leave because they couldn’t physically endure the voting process. People in wheelchairs had to leave - couldnt get off their ass ig, like you said. Laziness, that classist ableist chestnut. People who had kids and jobs also had to leave because they literally didn’t have alternatives and could not afford alternatives. Lazy parents and workers.

              And then you blame the people who were victims of this? Just because you enjoy feeling superior? Really helpful for your cause

              It’s not about your entitlement to their actions or the public’s entitlement to someone’s actions. It’s about individuals being able to enforce their rights and their voice and their autonomy - THAT’S why people should vote. Not because they owe anyone else anything, but because they owe themselves that right.

              You’re literally mimicking abusive relationships by using fear, obligation, guilt, and shame to force behavior. And then wonder why people don’t like Dem messaging.
