I've seen those claims for years but it must have begun long before I arrived since I've never seen the basis of their claims other than the fact it's coming from MAGAt racists and antisemites.

Minty's comments are especially ugly. She's not only racist, she's anti-semitic.

True. She's even more filled with rage and hate then her bestie, Toxic. It's no wonder those two racist skanks bonded so well.

More specifically, the moment he learned that hitching your wagon to trump gets you free of a primary challenge.
Which basically means you are signing up for anything and everything that spews from the Nazi's mouth

That would explain the fearmongering and why it works on certain groups of people.
This article was illuminating and points out the pros and cons of fear. Fear is a survival trait. Primitive people who have no fear usually don't last long enough to reproduce. People who live in constant fear never leave the cave and have their own problems. Having reasonable fears seems to be the best fit.
IMO, the MAGAts have crossed the line into unreasonable fears. Same for those on the Left who fear "active shooter" so much, they would rather live in an authoritarian, all-powerful state with the illusion of being "protected".

No. He's just an angry misogynist. Maybe his wife is just a petite, submissive little thing that praises his manhood and never questions his decisions. That doesn't mean his kids will do believe the same. LOL
OTOH, it's also possible his wife is tired of his shit and is divorcing him. Hence his hatred of "feminists" AKA upppity women.

Most MAGAts are. It's a common trait among them.

Hell...Minty predates the Teabaggers in that respect. I've been on boards with her for 20 years.
She must be spending most of her time on other echo chambers because she used to be a sickeningly prolific poster.

This is why they tend to be far more religious -- or so they claim anyways -- and far more desirous of authoritarianism and fascism. They never grew up inside and need a strong daddy figure whether that's a god or a dictator.That would explain the fearmongering and why it works on certain groups of people.

Everything was fine until Trump spouted out terrible lies about Haitians eating pets. Trump blew it up. It is his job to fix it. Can you imagine people actually believing that crazy story? This is America, the land of guns. There would be lots of pet thieves shot . That too is not happening. None of it is true. Trump does not require true. Neither do you.

I'm calling them out on how "religious" they are w/ this story.
They're fake Christians. Jesus Christ would be disgusted by a lie that creates so much hostility for a group of people, and so much hate.

He does seem to have a problem with outspoken females and with males who see no problem with them.
I'm not sure what he meant by "traditional wife." Is she part of a group of sister wives like in the Old Testament or with some religious groups? Was she a virgin when she got married? Does it mean she doesn't have a paying job outside (or inside) the home? Does it mean a woman who does literally everything to keep the household running while his only tasks are pay the bills and mow the grass? Does it mean that she will only have sex in the bedroom and only missionary style? Is she like one of those fundie ladies who aren't allowed to wear shorts or pants, makeup, cut their hair, dance, or play cards?
