  1. That’s actually a very revealing look into this guys world. He just admitted he is an unhappy person

    Leave it to a republican to deny things they can’t understand or can’t feel or know if they agree it will be politically bad for them. Image saying joy doesn’t exist because you are afraid of the political fall out. Sucks to be Lindsey.

    “Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.”

    ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

  3. They feed on the dread they cultivate in people. That’s been their main goal the past nine years with this Trump filth. That’s why the positivity behind the Harris/Walz ticket bothers them so much.

  4. For four days last week I was super joyful. This is typical MAGA. Everything is burning down. Everyone is being raped and murdered in our cities. Illegal Immigrants are parachuting into factories and stealing all the jobs. WWIII. Civil War. China. Dead whales and birds from windmills. We might as well all give up and just not vote.

    I hope he finds peace. Ive been there Lindsey. I had to come to terms with a lot of mistakes and guilt before I felt joy again. I wonder if he has something he feels guilty for?

    For once, I fully believe him. I complete believe Lindsey Graham has no joy in his world

  7. Bullshit. We had an Alien movies marathon yesterday, and it was awesome. Find something that makes you happy Lindsay…it’s probably dudes, and no sane person would hold it against you.

  8. It’s clearly time he stepped outside of the Republican party.

    Yes, there’s a lot of unfairness and misery in the world, but joy is never that far away.

    He just needs to rip off those conservative misery goggles and take a fresh look around him.

  9. MAGA in a nutshell, a joyless group full of hate, violence, and fear of anything or anyone who opposes their extreme fascist worldview.

    >To bolster his claim, Graham pointed to the gas prices, the state of the border, and inflation during Donald Trump’s presidency when “the world was not on fire.”

    WTF, Lindsey, it sure felt like it was when those refrigerator trucks were being used as morgues down at the hospital. I guess 2020 just never happened in the Republican universe, or got deleted down their memory hole.

  11. “Well, I didn’t see what you saw,” Graham told Tapper with a laugh. “If you’re a Republican, you saw a hate fest. You saw a hate fest full of insults.”

    Projecting. Deflecting. Republicans have this down to a fine art.

  12. As a transwoman who transitioned later in life, we are going to find a lot of unhappy, closeted, people behind the current hysteria.

    It’s a flaw in humanity that some of us can look at someone think “oh I want to do what they did”, or “good for them, look how happy they are” While so many others think “if I am miserable, then everyone has to be miserable too.”

    Thing is it can be overcome with self reflection and a little therapy, counseling, or just better friends. You have to want it though.
