Oedipally Wrecked

 

Charlie Kirk presumably has a biological father who molded him and his big head into whatever you would call him now, and I believe he is honestly straight married and isn't, in fact, closeted in any way. Also, he would play the mouth harp if the droopy-eyed SOB, lit from below as if telling a scary campfire story, in an angle reminiscent of his Georgia mug shot, depicted above, told him it was necessary to soothe an old man's slumbers.

(Get your mind out of the gutter--that's from the Bible, it is! )

There are big men, manly men, men who have never shed a tear in their lives, who want this apparition of bad-assedness in office, not because he is good at anything, but because of images like this. His followers can tell one another he wants vengeance and is a Bad Spanking Daddy because the "Russia Russia Russia thing" was his villain origin story, and they want him to be right. 

Like little kids who love their Daddies, they can't see he didn't need an origin story, he's just kind of generally dumb and bad. He wants to punish people for noticing what he did and "disrespecting him". 

In short, they want a motherfucker, and here he is. And this photo is looking pretty damn motherfuckerly. 

Do I think projecting badass motherfuckerdom on a carefully cultivated celebrity/political figure is a sign of limp-dickedness?  Why do you need that assertiveness coming from so far outside yourself? 

Pretty much. Little guys want to worship big guy heroes. But MAGA moms still think their redhat sons are all brave little men and isn't that what really matters? 

As for Vance:

His picture just seems from a more normal universe but still a little smug and all. Barely there, not an heir. He is a liar with a different set of strings than David ever plucked. But like a brother/son to Trump, he might find himself in a matter as thick as Thebes. 

A curse made for interesting times.
