Ok wait…

Hang on…

One moment…

Nancy Mace defends her endorsement of sexual abuser Trump saying she cannot be questioned about her defense because she’s a survivor of sexual abuse

Make this republican brainrot make sense.

CW: sexual violence being discussed

@flexghost

The emotion that comes up in this woman whenever she is asked about Trump is SHAME.

Think about it.

@flexghost It almost sounds like she has a legitimate point... until you actually start processing the hypocritical & nonsensical fucking words that are coming out of her mouth.
Then, the audacity to counter with the fetal heartbeat bill with no exceptions for rape...remind us; who exactly is STILL trying to move forward with that bullshit?

@flexghost @lisamelton She’s being so loud and assertive with this prepared response that others will see it when the clip is packaged and disseminated on right-wing media and believe that she is legitimately being shamed by Stephanopoulos.

(Just looked up how to spell his name correctly, and this is already all over the place, exploding in right-wing media. They got the viral clip they wanted out of it.)

Slight Non-sequitur, but…

“Ship of Fools” by World Party (1987) is one of the best songs of all time. It is a harbinger of the world we live in today that no one seems to have headed.

Writer and lead singer Karl Wallenberg died today.

@flexghost They're learning the language of sexual assault victims and are exploiting it to get their way like any salesgoon worth their salt. And I used to do salesgoon work, so I know how they are.

@flexghost She "had" to tell her story because they were discussing not putting in life of the mother exceptions on abortion. So now that it was actually done, with no life of the mother exception, she's shamed? Like WTF GTFO POS

@pauliehedron Suddenly I think to her childhood and what it was like when she gave a book report for a book she didn’t read

    @EarthOne24 I’m wondering if cognitive dissonance is even the right word

    @EarthOne24@mastodon.social avatar

    @flexghost "Cognitive dissonance" could apply to Mace, but I don't know what her values actually are. When she first won election I remember her speaking out with some integrity, but she's drinking the kool-aide now.

    @flexghost in addition to being full of sh*t , Nancy Mace may also have Stockholm syndrome (That's when the victim develops positive feelings for their captors...)

    @flexghost

    Explanation:
    It only matters if I was sexually assaulted when it supports my arguments, not when it comes to defending other victims of sexual assault.

    Summary:
    My experience with sexual assault matters. Your experience with sexual assault is irrelevant.

    Summary of the summary:
    Sexual assault is horrible only when it happens to me.

    Summary of the summary of the summary:
    ME, ME, ME, ME!!!

    @jcct Excellent break down

    I feel this applies to everything they espouse from bodily autonomy to voting

    @flexghost

    Members of the Trumplican Party lack the basic introspection and empathy to acknowledge the problems people not in their cult face.

    In fact, that's their brand message.

    @flexghost it makes no sense bc it’s all bullshit. Asking an alleged rape victim how she reconciles supporting a rapist is not shaming anyone. It’s a legitimate question that she refused to answer so she just accused him of shaming her over and over and over 😑

    @enoch Deflection has always been their thing but…this is next level

    enoch ,
    @enoch@universeodon.com avatar

    @flexghost it really is and knowing these disgusting ppl it wouldn’t surprise me to learn she’s lying in the first place. It’s all about trying to win back some of the female votes.

    @enoch @flexghost Cut to Mace filing a lawsuit against George for "defaming" her, while at the same time co-sponsoring a bill that redefines rape as a property crime.

    @stephenczetty @enoch I would love it if this hypothetical was too hyperbolic to be true but…

    @flexghost @enoch Hyperbole is dead. Republicans killed it.
