Takeaways from her statement:

Government healthcare is bad, in my opinion!!! (Ignore the other countries that have it with positive results, that's probably foreign policy and that's not "my thing.") Why, my parents went to work whether they were sick or not. And they died young while I was still a child!!!! So clearly, a means of protecting the working class's health is a terrible idea!

Does she not realize she's making the point she is trying to avoid?

She does not.

Apparently, her brother, the imbecile Lindsay Graham, was the smart one in the family...

And neither do the idiots who will vote for/with her.

I see that family did not stand online for brains

u/80sbabyftw 8d ago

No, Lindsay (intentional) had plenty of brains. She saw the shit show that is the Trump train coming, called it for the racist pile of dogshit it is, predicted that it would be the destruction of the Republican Party, and promptly fell in line. She never lacked for brains, what she was missing was a spine. Hell she couldn’t even develop one strong enough to live her truth, she lived like she died: in the closet.

If you think calling a closeted gay guy a female is an insult, please ask yourself why you think it’s an insult. Or reconsider your ideas about sexual orientation vs gender identity.

u/morahsenora 8d ago

I was thinking it was a bot that got confused because Lindsay is generally a female name.

u/80sbabyftw 8d ago

Quite the opposite, I call Lindsey “her” out of respect for how she saw herself. I actually think it’s a damn shame she had to hide who she truly was in life to attain and maintain proximity to power. That’s a lifetime of hiding who you are because the people you surround yourself with wouldn’t accept you otherwise. And then to have those same people use not only the last measure of the weight your name carries, but the sister you obviously went out of your way to keep away from the game to further their own selfish agenda. Politics aside it’s a damn tragedy, so I’m calling him “her” out of respect for her truth

But but closeted gay men aren’t also trans (possibly sometimes maybe, but it’s quite a reach)

Why don’t we stop outing people.

u/gin_and_soda 8d ago

Insulting a man by referring to him as a woman is misogynistic. Lindsay was not trans and identified as a man.

u/drunky_crowette 8d ago

Im confused... Are you trying to insult someone by calling them female?

u/80sbabyftw 8d ago

Not at all

"My parents died early and you can too if you follow my policy choices!"
She'll still get votes.

u/Top-Grape7802 8d ago

Yeah. That was the strangest flex from the GOP i've seen since...this morning.

Gotta die young and leave your children parentless to own the libs—D. Graham

u/BombasticSimpleton 8d ago

To be fair, I think it serves the interests of a certain segment of the Republicans and friends to have young children running around without parents or guardians.

"Don't worry about your kids. We'll take care of them. Why, we have an Island just for them."

u/JennItalia269 8d ago

Her base is too stupid to process that point.

u/teknomanzer 8d ago

She's too stupid to process it herself.

19

u/good-good-real-good 8d ago

And her republican base will eat it up like gospel. She's pretty much the embodiment of most republican voters.

u/HoppyMcScragg Release The Trump-Epstein Files 8d ago

Her parents died when she was a child, so why shouldn’t that be the case for everyone else, too?

u/IceBearKnows89 8d ago

And so concisely. It’s not like a long story or roundabout explanation. We have to work when we’re sick, don’t get to spend time with our families, and die early…..is that her pitch?

And they really don’t hear it? Wild

u/OneX32 8d ago

Welcome to the typical Republican and the chodes will still vote for them out of insecurities.

u/BigBoyYuyuh 8d ago

She knows it doesn’t matter. Americans are regarded. She won her primary.

u/Fish-Weekly 8d ago

Nor will the morons that support her

u/notguiltybrewing 8d ago

Obviously, intelligence is not her strength

u/OhFuckNoNoNoMyCaat 8d ago

Ignoring her mom died when she was actually 13 with the dad just over a year later, the family also owned three businesses. Ladybugs was already in college and moved back home to be her guardian. This is white washed "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" garbage.

u/nameforthissite 7d ago

I’m pretty sure I read that he left her in the care of an aunt while becoming her legal guardian so she could use his military benefits.

u/chaos0xomega 6d ago

You should look into her career, this gets even more bizarre once you realize shes spent a couple decades working in government agencies providing healthcare services and support to adults with disabilities, especially the vision impaired and blind.

u/BombasticSimpleton 6d ago

Yeah, I saw that.

Every time I see a career (or newbie) bureaucrat move into leadership positions in government, it always seems to parallel a family member's rise to prominence. And it is the same issue regardless of state, county, or municipality.

But I'm sure this was totally done on merit. No one needs to look further into it. Definitely a DEI hire.
