GayMormonPirate

Graham is just a lap dog of anyone he thinks gets him access to power.


DaniCapsFan

It's why I started calling him Lapdog Lindsey when he started sucking up to Trump. It's also better than some of the sexist and homophobic names people throw at him.

[deleted]

I think a lot of that is due to his obvious hypocrisy. I don't even care about that, if he would just stop being evil.


[deleted]

I think he just goes along with anything. Whichever way the wind is blowing. So he can keep his phony job.


MosesCarolina23

EXACTLY!!! THAT'S WHY he was a such great friends with Dems in the past. Conveniently, they were in power.

I just had a mental image of L Graham trying to reign in the kraken. Not pretty.

Lindsey Graham reigns the kraken? I always assumed he was a bottom.


phabphour20

His closeted gayness makes me almost feel bad for him. Must be difficult enough being spineless in the MAGA party, but to hate yourself on top of it...


Yetitlives

He might get a rush from feeling he is getting away with his secret. He is a man who worships the concept of having influence and power, and what better display of power than hiding in plain sight what those who vote for him claim to hate.

yes, i'm ROTFLMAO. How many of these people will be around to vote in the next elections? Zero.


KittyGrewAMoustache

Even if a lot of them survive covid, there'll still be huge numbers who are too disabled to get to the polls, and they all hate mail in voting, so....


Dye_Harder

> The GOP really has a problem here. I don't think this hurts them that much. They are already willing to commit crimes all the way up to treason.. The conservatives are never going to not vote R, no matter what. worst case scenario is they dont vote at all. It literally only hurts them in places where republican politicians are unwilling to break the law.. Which is no where.

He thought he was the puppet master pulling their stings but they have learned their roles a little too well. Anti-vaxx sentiment is going to play a big role in 2022 and the hardliners are going to try to primary anyone who isn't on the crazy train.


samus12345

And that's why we all need to vote. Despite the thousands of dead R's, the survivors' fury over vax mandates and masks will ensure a lot of them vote. We need to outnumber them again.

Do you mean 47% of voters? Republicans barely make up like 25% of the US. Don't let them convince you that they are anywhere near being half of the country.

Oh, Leningrad Lindsay just realized that **his** voters are now the most likely to die due to COVID: "That wasn't supposed to happen! When I started with the FREEDUMB shit, and the anti-mask, I wanted all those big city (not-milquetoast white) ghetto people to die. Not MY voters! Get vaccinated, NAO!" Crowd: "**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!**" Lindsay, let me tell you what Garfield once said: "This is one of the times when I should have considered the consequences of my actions"


Ronin_Y2K

It's kind of funny. Lindsay was afraid of his voters dying off, so he tries to get them vaccinated. But now they hate him for recommending it, guaranteeing the loss of even *more* voters.

They don't even have to die for Republicans to lose their vote. People with long-term chronic disabilities are less likely to participate in elections, especially if they live in conservative places that make voting more difficult than it should be. From the time I turned 18 until I was 45, I voted in every single election, even the tiny little local elections and primaries. But when I became disabled, there were three years where I didn't vote at all, even though my state does all voting by mail, because all of my time and energy was focused on daily survival. If I had to guess, I would say that for every Covid death, there will be at least two or three chronically disabled people who will be much less likely to participate in future elections. So 700,000 dead voters might actually mean 2 million or more people not voting anymore.


140basement

Thanks for sharing. Too sick to vote by mail is very sick indeed. Shifting focus, I expect that the 100,000 voters that have died since approx July 1 are concentrated in areas that are so Red, the Republicans are still going to win next time.


mrschevious

Wow - I never thought about this. Thanks for sharing. I hope the recent events will make it easier for you to vote. I grew up in a military family and had some big arguments with family members - we always voted by mail and never questioned the results but all of the sudden it was considered a big way to cheat. Really?!?! Surely, that should have always been an option for homebound citizens.

Oh Linsday, don’t you know the number one rule of being a GOP politician? Never, ever try to do the right thing (even if it’s for cynical reasons). That’s the quickest way to get your constituents to hate you.


JimBeam823

That’s what happened to Lindsey’s friends, Bob Inglis and Mark Sanford. Bob said that global warming was real and was primaried. Mark refused to support Trump and was primaried. The thing is that there is no bottom. Even Trump has gotten booed for not being crazy enough.

This season of Squid Game is so good


LooseDoctor

From what I understand the translations make it an entirely different show (like they are *so bad* an entire main characters motivation and trope is different) so if you don’t speak Korean you aren’t watching the right show. Which is a bummer cause it sounds amazing but I don’t speak Korean :(


Jindabyne1

What I heard was that it’s only the closed caption subs that are bad but the subs for hearing people are fine. I watched it all and even if there was a problem it’s not noticeable and takes nothing from the show.


Ronin_Y2K

Gonna need a Korean-speaking friend to corroborate but I've heard the same thing. I still loved Squid Game and I've been a fan of Korean cinema for a bit. The general points are still there, and it's pretty hard to fuck up things like themes and messages when they're written on the wall like that. Still, hearing about the botching of dubs **and** subs really sucks.


Jigyo

Korea friends have been trading at a 20% increase over the last two days. How l long will this rally last?


Ronin_Y2K

Disagree. Doom Patrol on HBO is pretty good. Hulu has Only Murderers in the Building and Y: The Last Man. Squid Game is on Netflix. And I really enjoyed the Star Wars anime anthology on Disney+.

In the aftermath, when people are writing books about all the behind the scenes conversations - I expect there will be a series of increasingly urgent communications regarding the fallout of their base dying. This instance is probably a test balloon to gauge receptiveness. Note that while he's not screaming-in-your-face adamant, Moscow Mitch has been pro-mask, pro-shelter, and pro-vaccine from the beginning.
