GOP strategist says Trump supporters are "childless single men who masturbate to anime"

ummm, can you please provide a link with your research? for a friend who asked, ahem

Let’s see if I understand this right. Single men who haven’t fathered children are to be ridiculed? That does explain the Palin clan, at least. And men who do what 99.9% of men do are to be ridiculed? If only that tiny remainder really were what’s left of the Republican voting bloc. Anime is both foreign and “cartoons”, so of course it’s not as artistically important as, say, 50 Shades of Grey.

If the camera panned down, you’d see he was masturbating throughout the entire segment.

Not that I find this particularly compelling as an argument, but combining each of those into a single group narrows down the field of contempt pretty broadly. You’ll notice he didn’t say ‘Masturbators, Childless people, Single people, Men, and Anime lovers’, so it’s kind of silly to break it apart.

On the other hand, what am I even doing psuedodefending that statement.

This is a really accurate statement, whether you were serious or not… i went on 4chan for the first time in like, almost a decade recently, and was suprised to find that /pol/ a) exists but b) is like, 100% in the tank for Trump! This “GOP Strategist” must be referring to that… the fevered level of insanity that site is currently showing for Trump is extremely scary!

So he already had all the old Palin supporters then…

Makes sense. Trump’s clothing line and campaign swag and wives are all manufactured abroad, so why would his supporters want American-made pornography?

I don’t know what’s so funny here. That’s one hell of a constituency.

Because they want the quality stuff, perhaps?

You Beat me to it.

To be honest, I I’ve earned the right to be ridiculed.

(Haven’t watched anime of any type since Spirited Away, I’m more a Bojack kinda person)

As a still childless man who was once single and had masturbated to anime, I find this deeply offensive.

Real life has become indistinguishable from 4chan!
Their critiques of people they are afraid of sound like a 12 year old trash talking on a video game.

“Trump supporters masturbate to anime”
“Sanders plays Dungeons and Dragons with pedophiles”
“Clinton listens to heavy metal music wearing a strap-on”

I think it’s understandable: The 4chan crowd wants to see the world burn : )

I’m sensing the possibility of a sudden, marked, uptick in expressed concern about ethics in political journalism…

I don’t think that the rule is as hard-and-fast as it is for women, in the standard conservative formulation; but there is definitely ridicule for men who have failed to demonstrate at least one socially prescribed norm of maturity in time. Unlike women, men have the option of, say, being wealthy, owning a business, having a military career, etc. but if your economic position is just tenuous wage labor; the fact that you’ve failed to mate would be interpreted to make you an onanistic man-child.

Yep, that’s up with which he comes.
