      The spokesman said the video simply showed Anderson “with female supporters and their kids.”

      female
      adjective
      fe·​male ˈfē-ˌmāl
      (1): of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs

      There is nothing weirder than calling someone *female* .

      Imagine that conversation starting…”hey bro, can I cuck you with your whole family as a campaign tactic?”

      These weirdos have some really deep public humiliation kinks.

      I wonder if he used the same Rent-a-Family outfit as Lalo Salamanca in *Better Call Saul*.

      The article says he lives alone with his dog. I’m going to need proof that dog is still alive.

      maga is just so fucking bizarre. Their ecosystem is located solely within the uncanny valley

      In the 1980s, Paul Trible was campaigning to be re-elected to be Senator in Virginia. His campaign put out a tv ad that included video of him playing a mandolin or some similar instrument. Days later the campaign admitted that Trible didn’t play any instruments.

      Side note: My uncle once got into a fist fight with Paul Trible.

      Side note: My dad once exclaimed to Paul Trible’s wife, “Rosemary, I didn’t know you were pregnant!” She wasn’t.

      Republicans: “We’re not weird!”

      Also Republicans: “Hey man, can I borrow your wife and kids for a bit?”

      And you may ask yourself, “How do I work this?”
      And you may ask yourself, “Where is that large automobile?”
      And you may tell yourself, “This is not my beautiful house”
      And you may tell yourself, “This is not my beautiful wife”

      This would have been better if he AI generated a family.  The fact he used a real family is just weird as hell.  Like how does this even come up who suggested it, it’s just weird.

      Lying and hiring actors to pose as your family doesn’t make you more appealing to women. It just makes you weird.

      Hmmmm let’s see, middle aged, lives alone, GOP nut job. This guy is definitely super mega gay.

      I have an acquaintance in Texas who’s niece and nephew get borrowed every year… well borrowed isn’t the right word… they get rented every year to be in a Christmas card and TV commercial for a prominent attorney.

      The lawyer is gay and doesn’t want any of his yee haw clients to know. So he rents my acquaintance’s nephew and niece because he’s got fuck you money.

      He pays the kids a couple thousand dollars each. They get to be on tv. He claims they are his children. The money goes into their college fund. And his redneck oil money clients are none the wiser.

      And this just after seeing the video of JD Vance with an “election dog” to make him seem more personable and less weird.
