    Cause it wasn’t “their” daughters. Remember, those same guys would fuck any other man’s daughter and expect it to be okay. They lack the mental skills to understand another person’s perspective.

      Tangentially related, it bothers me people say things like “I have a daughter so I get why it’s upsetting” or whatever. It implies they wouldn’t be able to empathize if they didn’t have one. I know that’s not necessarily always the intention, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

        Conservatives tend to score lower on empathy and have a more in-group/out-group mentality. So it is common for people to not think about different perspectives until they are personally affected. My favorite example of this is some article I read where a researcher ran small group surveys and asked people’s thoughts on trans people, and some of the responses were super specific like “trans people wear a lot of green,” or “trans people like bread.” And it was due to Jan from accounting or whatever being the only trans person they knew. So a single encounter shifts their whole perception and biases. There are a lot of people who grow up surrounded by people like them and have never had the need to see things from someone else’s perspective who is different from them.

        I was more going for the split personalities concept. The same person can say they will kill you if you touch their daughter, but then sit down with their buddies and a beer and relive how heroic they were that one time with mary joe when they got caught and her father peppered the tailgate of his truck as he sped away. Pretty sure there are popular songs about the later. So it’s okay if they do it, but not if someone does it to them and theirs.

    Their fantasy is not about justice for women but justice for their stuff being taken. Raping someone else’s kids does not invoke the same emotion, in fact they might be cheering it if the kids in question are from a different social group.

    I don’t think this is the general consensus at all. The whole Epstein thing really ripped the MAGA tribe in half. There’s a lot of people over there that are upset about it.

      I’d say it’s 40/60 with 40 opposed and 60 excusing it. But that’s still a chunk.

        I’d say it can range from your 40/60 to 60/40 depending on the area. Where I live and with the people I know, there are a lot of libertarian leaning people (they say they’re conservative but they just aren’t) and they reeeeaaaallllllyyyyy don’t like Trump now. Then there’s the people that are “Red or Dead”. Those are the ones that match the online descriptions

    These same men also have a fantasy of picking up their gun and help their fellow American in a hostage or terrorist situation, but during covid, when they had an opportunity to help their fellow Americans by putting a fucking piece of cloth on their face, they refused.

    It’s not because they care about the act, they just see their daughters as property and don’t want their chattel ‘defiled’, with exceptions for personal use.

    MAGATS uphold rape culture but this dude is a hero and I for one would vote for him to be president and drain the swamp in 2028.

    The reason seems rather to be that these people are deliberately and very demonstratively protecting their own underage daughter because they are fully aware of what their “conservative” peers have in mind for her.

    Honestly this type of mental disconnect is absolutely a thing and it baffles me to no end. These guys are just cosplayering a parody of the “manly man”.

    ✅ Don’t have a truck.
    ✅ Didn’t vote for Trump.
