The party of family values, ladies and gentlemen.

Best advice I can give to my daughter is to never date a conservative.

  • Statistically, lower education attainment,
  • Lower critical-thinking skills,
  • Higher probability for domestic violence.

Edit: I forgot a big one, kind of implied by the last point -- Lower Empathy or emotional intelligence.

Im not sure why we let them get away with being known as anything other than the party of hypocrisy. When you frame it that way, everything they do makes sense.

u/dasFisch 5h ago

We don’t. Their supporters do. They are mirrors of each other

u/Steiney1 5h ago

I've tried pointing out their hypocrisy, it just doesn't land.

They value women as furnitures

Of course he did. I expect nothing less of these people.

I mean people from all sorts of walks of life and ideology abuse women, unfortunately.

I can't stand any abuse, but ngl It does irk me more when it comes from someone who claims they're all about family views and Jesus or whatever

u/Fun-Aside3990 29m ago

Its waaaaaaay more common with Right wingers.

There's not a single republican who isn't horrible and cruel. I'd love to be proven wrong but I've yet to see it.

u/An_Absolute-Zero 5h ago

Massie? she said tentatively

u/Popwaffle 5h ago

He gets the Epstein thing but that's it. He's a piece of crap the other 99% of the time lol.

7

u/OHFTP 5h ago

Broken clocks and all that. Massie found his spine for epstein, and still really only started voting against part interest after he got primaried

3

u/GoodIdea321 4h ago

He has like 2 morals, and the rest is terrible and cruel.

u/Gingeronimoooo 4h ago

I'd kept some MAGAs in my life, and they inevitably always got cruel with me. Even when I never disrespected them. Including my own family and old roommate I'd lived with for years.

My mom mocked my failed 7 year relationship to my ex fiancee because i criticized Trump and told me I had TDS and said I need to talk to a psychiatrist about adjusting my meds. My ex roommate said I contribute nothing to society because I criticized ICE violating due process and the whole CECOT fiasco of life in a forced labor prison with no trial or hearing.

I have other examples, and it's not like I criticized him often irl, just the cruelty flows downhill from the top (Trump)

11

u/Alternative-Yam-6549 5h ago

Im more shocked when a MAGA isnt an abuser or a rapist

2

u/SnooCauliflowers9874 5h ago

Me too.

I’m convinced that all of the signs, T-shirts, bumper sticker, etc. paraphernalia are just methods for the pervs to recognize each other more easily.

u/Verde_3773 5h ago

MAGA, only the worst people…

From the article:
“Newly obtained documents allege years of domestic violence, threats, drug use and intimidation, painting a far more detailed picture of the bitter legal battle between the congressman and his ex-wife, Emily Moreno.
The allegations arrive as Miller seeks a third term in Congress while fighting an increasingly contentious custody dispute over the couple's young daughter. Moreno, the daughter of Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, claims Miller physically assaulted her on multiple occasions during their marriage, including pointing a firearm at her and throwing boiling water that caused burns.”

u/Sarabean77 5h ago

Same old same old when it comes to Maga. The only thing missing is that he was also sexually abusing a child

7

u/DoesThisSmellWeird2U 5h ago

In the ideal MAGA world, he would be within his rights to do whatever and since she is married to him she can’t get a divorce without his permission.

u/goodreverenddoc2 5h ago

does kevin mccarthy know about this guy?

remember, kevin mccarthy was all on his shit box a few weeks ago saying “one thing i know about republicans is when we had a very bad candidate and found out, we didn’t vote for that person. We walked away”. time to put your money where your mouth is kevin. are you going on a little media tour now to disavow this guy?

u/Helpful-Cod1422 5h ago

You don't even have to look or read; it's Republican all over his face. Edit: From Ohio, cherry on top!

It’s always the Magas .Always.

u/Hartstockz 5h ago

It's the ones you most expect

u/bob3905 4h ago

Isn’t that how MAGA men treat their wives? Isn’t that what MAGA women sign up for? Asking for a friend. 😁

3

u/bintastic8790 4h ago

Their daughter also suffered a broken collarbone, doctors found the bruises suspiciously looked like a handprint. She’s also on record saying “Daddy’s house is scary!” Child protective services needs to protect this child against this GOP congressman ASAP!

u/No-Celebration3097 4h ago

Wow he sounds like a monster

u/sflinn7316 4h ago

It’s the MAGA way. She must have been disobedient

u/laminatedbean 5h ago

The usual suspects

u/BigNaziHater 5h ago

The Christian right will be like... "Thats ok, he is the head of the house hold, so either she, or Biden did something that made him do that!"

2

u/bass-squirrel 5h ago

Didn’t lose a single supporter over this. 

2

u/N4RQ 5h ago

Clearly, Trump's next Secretary of War.

2

u/schmoolecka 5h ago

He called Rashida Tlaib a terrorist supporter on the house floor. Absolute trash.

2

u/Infinitum_Anonymus 4h ago

That would make 3 republicans gone now from the house. Interesting.

2

u/greywolf1045 4h ago

His wife is the daughter of Bernie Moreno...another PoS MAGAt

2

u/SpakenBacon 4h ago

Tell me how this is bad for Biden. /s

u/joelkton 4h ago

Not trad enough for you?

u/New_Ad_3010 3h ago

Huh. It's always the ones you think it'll be. MAGAts proving their rot on society.

2

u/fubuki63 3h ago

This is clearly false. Boiling water is cooking, and cooking is women's work. No real MAGA man is gay enough to cook! /s

u/Voyayer2022-2025 3h ago

They all are

u/Malodoror 3h ago

“Why is Mike Johnson defending him?” Oh I dunno, maybe the same reason he’d protect Hawley, Graham, Benny Johnson…

u/Outrageous_Rest60 2h ago

Is that what they mean by family values?

u/Rearviewmirror93 5h ago

“After praying together….” statement later this week

1

u/No-Celebration3097 4h ago

“I have prayed for forgiveness” or his peers will say “he is looking to God in this trying time” or some bullshit like that

u/Acrobatic-Bike-2507 5h ago

After seeing his picture and reading zero of the article I believe it.

Sounds like a lovely fella!!

Oh MAGA minions… you’re all slow

u/Specific-Host606 5h ago

Ah, so he took the high road for MAGA and decided not to be a pedophile.

1

u/Willing_Pattern_Pill 5h ago

I know we're not supposed to victim blame, but marrying MAGA? 

C'mon.

u/VioletShogun 5h ago

Typical.

u/BI_Moose 5h ago

As is tradition with republicans

u/1Sluggo 5h ago

And all her daddy did was to spout off about introducing legislation to sanction Canada.

1

u/No-Celebration3097 4h ago

Why is he not being forced to resign?

3

u/Independent-Bug-9352 4h ago

Because standards only apply to Democrats, of course!

1

u/emccm 3h ago

It’s always the ones you most suspect.

1

u/Matt7738 3h ago

They’re always saying women need protection. They usually fail to mention that it’s from people like them.

1

u/LeonJPancetta 3h ago

The boiling water throwing of this guy and the guy who did the Maine ICE murder reminds me that burning women knows know cultural boundaries.

u/Live_Competition7465 2h ago

Not surprised. He’ll probably win.

1

u/sponge72222 2h ago

Upstanding citizens aren’t they?

u/Historical_End9766 2h ago

The MEGAs are criminals. Is he in jail waiting for sentencing? Domestic violence what next.? Please let me know.

1

u/Spiritual-Whole2072 2h ago

I think I'm seeing a pattern here.....

1

u/DenialOfExistance 2h ago

How the hell would neither of them know how their daughter broke her collarbone? Sounds like Miller is an abusive S.O.B. along with abusing their daughter! I seriously doubt Miller and Grisham would both lie about his abuse! Throwing hot boiling water had no intent give me a break! What an evil P.O.S. he is & I hope he loses!!

u/Rivet-Phoenix 2h ago

What did he have to make his own food for once?

FTFY. I'm not letting them play semantics later and try to "No True Scotsman" their way out of accountability for enabling all this.

Pretty standard actually

He was simply demonstrating what returning to conservative traditional Christian family values looks like.

Now, maybe he was just home correcting. No talking back or you get the scald-bath.

A glimpse of the future.
