Maybe you’ll notice what it is. A hint, if it helps: it’s a group of young Republicans making excuses for Trump. Don’t bother reading the article, though: these students are incredibly vapid (We’ve seen with President Obama there was a lot of trickle-down economics, things just trickling down from Washington, D.C.,
says one, to give you an idea of the quality of their rationalizations).
There’s something they all have in common, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. I think the white glare coming from the photo is making it hard to see.
The horrible wallpaper/screen/whatever behind them? The textbook example of manspreading?
Wait, I’m confused. I thought Trickle-down economics was good according to Republicans.
Look at the legs.
The photo not illuminated, the people glow in the dark.
At first I wondered why they were all leaning away from the blond gal w bare legs. The only one smiling.
Young Republicans who are also clueless wasn’t ‘off’, it was spot -on.
They’re all holding their own hand for consolation for the fiery nuclear death that’s coming their way and to symbolize that, in the end, we all die alone.
Jesus. Is there some problem with teaching boys how sit, rather than sprawl all over the place? I hate that.
In contrast, I have a saintly and soothing photo.
The idea of “young republicans” is just sad.
“You’ve joined the political alliance of the elderly, kids! If you spend a good lifetime serving the political agenda of your parents and grandparents’ generation, you’ll eventually inherit the sucked-dry shell of a country, and a lot of debt – unless you were lucky enough to have been born rich in which case we totally understand.”
The manspreading, it is real.
Why… They’re all white.
Also interesting.
Sorry PZ, that looks like a lot of Just So stories to me. Is there any evidence for it? Seems like they just made it up.
I’m assuming from the photo they’re all A&M students, which explains a lot.
[Whispers]
I see man-spreading.
The boys all look glum, while one girl is happy?
When I saw this on my Facebook page, it was just the photo with no clue about context so what stood out immediately to me was the male spreaders and the females scrunching up. That figures: a group of republicans where the men all take up more than their fair share of space as they all have sour faces while stealing the women’s space and the women accommodate them by squeezing into as small a space as they can with smiling/pleasant faces. Ugh!
And they’ve carefully arranged to have the girls sandwiched between the boys who are in the majority just in case they get dangerous ideas. Like “hey, how about a little more room, guys?”
How does one grade Trump without shooting straight past the end of the alphabet and grading him in unicode symbols? ?–
White, white, white, white, white
Boy, girl, boy, girl, boy (Terrified of sitting close to the same gender)
That photo inspires me to come up with a line of women’s clothing. It would have little thumb tacks, sharp side pointing out, on the sides of the knees. I think women who travel on public transport would really enjoy that line of clothing.
Also? “there aren’t enough people giving him the benefit of the doubt”?!!! That particular line made me bang my head on the wall. I should have listened, and not gone and read that.
