I think the Chuck Norris jokes really only could take off because he was already retired and not on the internet when it happened. If he'd engaged, it'd probably have killed the humor.
This is exactly how I have been feeling. I have friends and people I respect who have been venerating this POS and it has been a real effort to not go off on them. Fortunately they haven't pushed for me to celebrate this fuck too.
As an example, when a known, unrepentant sexual predator runs for a high government office, anything other than "no, they are an evil person" is quiet support of their behavior.
It's much worse when the support is vocal and strong, it means their behavior is acceptable because they agree on other points.
"Oh sure, he raped/abused people/kids, but he really stands up for free-speech/gun rights/lower taxes/lower crime/healthcare."
It doesn't matter, their actions and choices have fundamentally shown they are evil, and are not doing anything to atone.
The fact that my statement applies to SO MANY people in office is just devastating.
I said it applies to a lot, and I mean a lot, of people in office. I didn't even say the US.
Also, what's the leap in logic there?
Supporting a (despicable trait) person doesn't automatically make you a (despicable trait) person, but it does make you someone who thinks there's a level of excuse for (despicable trait)
He's your twice-elected peoples representative. Which by definition means that minority of "the people" "acctively oppose him". So everyone else met the same "anything less" criterion that was set for Norris.
I was having a discussion in a community about Chuck Norris and people were shitting on me for badmouthing him. Like what are we all just pretending we're suddenly huge fans of Walker Texas goddamn ranger?

He did engage, by saying that the only superhero is Jesus, which did indeed kill the humor.
I find that pretty funny though. Of course he would say that.
Now, did Chuck Norris diddle any kids?
Chuck Norris the person was flawed and stupid
Chuck Norris the meme is about to roundhouse ki
It looks like Chuck Norris got to them before they could finish their sent
He's not a shitty guy. Anymore.
Now he's basically compost.
Depending if they used embalming fluids he might not be very good compost for a long while.

Chuck Norris was a shit guy, no need to pretend otherwise
Uh, good that I was very much out of the loop for this one. I could enjoy the memes until now ...
Is.this accurate? He was deeply conservative and a creationist. Buy I don't belive there are credible indycators of him being a racist, were there?
If you (vocally) support racists who are actively pushing racist ideology and legislation, then what's the functional difference?
He might have just been very brainwashed, tribalistic.
Actually fuck it, that's is functionaly just as bad.
Who exactly do you mean? I'm not being snarky. Thats genuine question.

So unnamed person is trump, right? Wouldn't that mean that US is almost exclusively KKK racists?
Wut?

Please read my comment again, slowly, instead of making up your own ideas of what you think I meant.
There was a saying in the 40s.
"What do you call a table with 6 nazis and 6 German farmers?"
"A dozen Nazis having dinner."
But... doesn't that mean that Democrats are Nazis, too?
You know, since they are sitting at the table with the Nazis
yes, well...anyone who takes that AIPAC $
no hes asking you to name them, not wax poetic man
It’s accurate if one was and emotional lunatic yes.
