“Oh look, it’s couch-fucker,” one person shouted in a video shared on social media. Another added, “You gonna fuck a couch, buddy?” As the heckling escalated, chants of “Go fuck a couch, JD Vance!” and “pussy boy” filled the busy train station.

      Eh. I’m not a fan of the “couch fucker” thing, because there are a lot of really good (and true) things to heckle him with. We don’t need to make stuff up.

        The true criticisms don’t bother them: Crony, Grifter, Authoritarian, Hypocrite, Traitor. They wear these true criticisms like badges of honor. Its the pointless, silly, sometimes even fake criticisms (like the couch thing), that really get under their skin. I have no idea why, but it does. So we use those.

          Fascism relies on the belief that they’re the only normal ones. That’s why calling them weird was so effective

          People should hold their noses and point out his DEI wife. His followers will feel that. She’s a class and race traitor so should be given no quarter anyway.

              It would be a recurring performative insult with MAGA as the intended audience to disrupt their resolve. I don’t think it has to say anything about your character.

                You don’t think attacking someone on the basis of their race or skin color is a problem? You don’t think adopting the GOP narrative of taking the abbreviation of Diversity Equity and Inclusion and using it as a slur is a problem?

                I don’t care that you’d be being racist as an attempt to sow discontent in their ranks. Reinforcing racist views is a bridge too far.

                  I think the battle over the real meaning of DEI is lost. I know many organizations (e.g., libraries) have begun to pivot to using different language to achieve the same goals. So the idea of using those three letters against MAGA while it they remain in the zeitgheist is appealing to me.

                  As for whether performative racism is a bridge too far, I’m torn. I partially agree with you, given it’s potential impact on innocents that are exposed outside of the intended MAGA audience. But I don’t think it would make us racist in the same way that a soldier who kills enemy soldiers in war is not a murderer. They are a killer, certainly, but not a murderer. Of course, there is a sacrifice of character being made there, but not so much as in the case of the murderer.

          It hurts them because their fragile egos makes them feel weak. That’s why they all desperately cling to being ‘alpha males’

          I have no idea why

          They don’t feel bad about ripping off people they see below them. That’s part of why they’re okay doing it.

          Implying they can’t get laid is a much bigger insult in their eyes.

        I understand where you’re coming from, but taking the high road every damn time against people like this has gotten us into this situation.

          Neither do you if you think “couchfucker” matters to them. They elected a guy who openly wishes to fuck his own daughter.

            It aont about naming calling, it is about making public appearances uncomfortable for them in the moment.

            These regime whores need to know that they can’t walk in public with little being disrespected by the citizens.

            Let them go suck dick in their owners bunkers. That’s where they belong.

            They don’t care if he fucked a couch, but they’re worried we’re muscling in on their lying territory.

            They’re supposed to be the ones spouting incomprehensible, unobstructable bullshit and we’re supposed to be the ones who are upset.

            It’s why calling them wierd worked, why did we stop that anyway?

        You could before him by using his real name. James Donald Bowman. A guy who hates the purveyor of half his genepool do much that he had changed his name to his grandpa’s.

        I will always call him by that name to make him remember his sad heritage

        Further, the couchfucker thing has gotten us absolutely nowhere. What’s the point? To make ourselves feel better as they continue to destroy America?
