If we have learned one thing in the last decade, it’s that you can never trust a white man who has knowingly and intentionally turned himself orange - ThreadSky

reply

Nothing.

He's always been a "tack to the wind" sort of dude. He has one guiding principle "get elected".

He thinks becoming a Joe Rogan is his ticket.

No fucking chance of that now. None. He won't even get out of the primary.

I profoundly don’t understand the orange thing at all. I’ve worked in reasonably high end worlds of finance and engineering. People are VERY white. Nobody cares. (Bald, same deal). Their whiteness is holding nobody back. At all. I doubt even the most vain spend a moment thinking about it.

It's faking being outdoorsy. They think it makes them more rugged looking. Like Clint Eastwood. Instead, they end up looking like Donatella Versace.

reply

bananapantz.bsky.social•53 days ago

So in what world do you find it advantageous, necessary, desirable, even possible (I guess I’m way out of my depth here) to paint yourself orange.

It didn’t even used to be popular in TV etc. but TBF I guess it “worked” for Trump. I guess it works. That’s how dumb we are now.

reply

bananapantz.bsky.social•53 days ago

I just don’t understand who wakes up in the morning and goes. I really want to be an orange person.

Is it self-tanning? I always found that odd even amongst women. But I guess it spread back into professional fields as well. It marks me as people who are deeply unserious.

At least some of his gimmick has to be a bit, since his accent has gotten even more Austrian despite living in the U.S. since the 70s, but it's a bit for a good cause (hating Nazis) so I'm not going to question it too much.
