    Obviously not a very smart brain in a box

        I think the joke is that Trump/Musk are homophobic. It doesn’t glorify it.

        If this were just two random guys, it’d be a fine addition to Lemmy.

          No, the “joke” is calling them gay as an insult, quite clearly.

          There are no “acceptable targets” for homophobia.

            Exactly

            This joke is literally “but what if they were gay, haha!” “I knew it!”

            Its literally the bully humor that we’ve fought for years and years to rid ourselves of, and here it is on the top with over 200 votes.

            This is hate wrapped in a virtuous wrapper at its most generous, and way too many people are just seeing the wrapper and not what’s just under its thin facade: homophobia.

              Exactly, and apparently I’m a Russian agent for calling it out… At this point how is this any different to MAGA shit?

              If people are wondering how the USA has lurched into fascism so easily, it’s because even their “left” ultimately shares many of the same values as their right, they just disagree on who the acceptable targets are.
