#45 had some kind of huge political gathering in the US city Milwaukee that caused the gay hook up app Grindr to collapse under the strain. The extra users were mostly faceless, meaning they just appeared as anonymous without a photo on their profile.
The homophobic Republican Party has many supporters who are homos and looking for a bit of quick jiggy jig. Extraordinary! But then the Republican Party has many female supporters who think the law and men should control their bodies. Republic Party supporters are strange with their strong opinions against basic human rights, yet would vote for someone like #45

Sigh. I cannot understand how anyone could vote for him, but lots will and do.
ReplyDeleteIt defies me EC, especially women and those of minorities
DeleteAgree with both of you! It is rather scary to be an American right now. Something I never thought I would say. But we have a bit of Hope with a new candidate and I dare to hope. This has been a horrible time or the US and I hope it will definitively end with the election. If not I may be emigrating! Fond Aloha to you both
DeleteCloudia, we all have great hope for your country.
DeletePolitics isn't real life though ... is it?
ReplyDeleteIt is for some JayCee but they live in a world of un-reality.
DeleteIt is quite an odd contradictory human behaviour
ReplyDeleteRoentare, contradictory? Next thing you'll be accusing them of hypocrisy.
DeleteRepublicans want to tell YOU how to live, but then want to live their own lives as they choose.
ReplyDeleteYes Bob, in deed that's what it is about.
DeleteI can't see myself ever voting republican again.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I would have hoped people thought that before they voted for Biden.
DeleteIt was the GOP party convention. Another little covered issue is that a ton of local clubs and bars ran drag events, so there weren't any partying spots for the convention goers! More than one way to repel unwanted convention goers.This may be related to the Grindr stats.
ReplyDeleteBoud, that is so interesting. Milwaukee press stated the same happened at the convention in 2016 in Cleveland.
DeleteGiven all the trouble they've stirred up for LGBTQ folks, I hope none of them get laid.
ReplyDeleteKirk, locals could state in their profiles, no visitors to Milwaukee please.
DeleteOur teachers told us there are three private topics that should never be discussed in public - religion, politics and sex.
ReplyDeleteHels, your teacher was two thirds right, don't discuss religion and politics. Sex should be fun and talking about it at times should be fun too.
DeleteSounds heavenly, Hels. I am so sick of hearing about religion and it seems as if Jesus is involved in every single election somehow. They don't talk about sex though. They just sneak around doing all the things that they call immoral on the stage.
DeleteDebby, the hypocrisy is beyond belief.
DeleteDictators, that is it!
ReplyDeleteSnigger, snigger, Margaret.
DeleteI guess a lot more of them are two-faced than we know. And apparently the orange jaffa leader has been saying nasty things about his new female opponent.
ReplyDeleteRiver, yes I just heard him quoted on the tv news. Absolutely shocking but not surprising.
DeleteWhen I see the circus the Republicans make in the States, I am convinced that the Republicans don't have all their cups in the cupboard!
ReplyDeleteGattina, a good Aussie expression is 'A few (kanga)roos loose in the top paddock'.
DeleteI don't know what Grindr is, but think one of my grandchildren had something nasty happen on there.
ReplyDeleteThelma, Grindr is a gay dating app but mostly seems to be used for a quick half hour experience. I understand about a grandchild who is probably quite young. There are those on the app to avoid and the inexperienced need to be careful.
DeleteI had to wait to read others' comments before I could begin to understand your post. I think I've got it now. Very slow on the uptake. Republicans - the all-encompassing party for people of every stripe and colour.
ReplyDeleteSorry JB. It reads perfectly clearly to me, but I can see that some extra information should have been written. Republicans, all-encompassing, unless you are different.
DeleteYes, self loathing closet cases that are looking for a quick gay sex hook-up. sounds like the Republican party.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have my thoughts confirmed TP.
DeleteDave was telling me about this the other day. So funny! But I guess that's what people do at conventions, even hypocritical Republicans.
ReplyDeleteSimple hypocrisy Steve. Nothing more.
