Answer is in the quote. "Don't tread on me".
Doesn't say anything about how you shouldn't tread on others.
The idea that drag isnt a conservative value is so odd to me, for so many years in the past men were the only ones to be female characters on stage. I would think they would like that these people are keeping that tradition alive. Hell they have gone so far as to get women to play the men, this seems like the artistic expression that started the movement in the first place. Real traditional values here.
These idiots have no idea about that sort of thing and would be the first to call any actor showing less machismo than John Wayne a f-g anyway.
So much machismo that he dodged the draft for WWII.
And St. Reagan made training movies for the Army safe in Hollywood.
wasent it speculated or rumors that john had a male lover, if was not just out right gay? I might be remembering something weird, but I thought it was a story when the whole Lincon had a male lover.
I think that there are rumors that pretty much every macho guy ever secretly had a male lover, so I wouldn't put much stock in those.
That said, here's how John Wayne used to sit-
Maybe it's me, but it seems a bit on the fay side of things...
Hey good for him, I just wish if he was gay that he could have been open about it. Maybe its ok as he is able to disconnect his character from his real life (not that anyone needs to know your relationship or sexualaity outside of your partner). Also when I did smoke I never looked that cool.
The conservative dream is the rebirth of a past that never existed
I'm not especially big on guns, but I wonder if gun-themed drag shows might be illustrative...
The only thing a drag show with guns would do is have conservatives frothing at the mouth saying that only Christian white men can be trusted with guns and laws would soon follow.
You don't see gun manufacturers participating in Pride month.
They know their customers.
Reagan started calling for gun control while governor of California when the Black Panthers started arming themselves.
I live in a strange area of the US that has an equal amount of drag shows and gun bashes. Combining the two would be incredible.
Be interesting to see what comes out of that as a theme
About 10? I'd probably skip estimating and count if it was under 20. But I'm not a journalist or LLM so what do I know?
the US voted in a older Catholic with a prosecutor as a vice and now we have that same guy running against another old white right leaning conservative asshat
really fucked and not in the fun way
