If you want to see a full set of teeth at a South Carolina Trump rally,

[Atticus]

you need to get at least four women to stand in the same spot and smile.

[LakeArenal]

1. You meanie. Hilarious.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. You can do better than classism.

[Atticus]

4. I expected that response and decided I did not care. I am tired of bending over

backwards to be "nice" to MAGATs

I know they are not all mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers, too, but if calling them that draws fire I figure I am pissing off the right people.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. Missing teeth isn't what makes them objectionable.

[Atticus]

15. And, you think you're telling me something I don't know? You're just a better person

than I am I suppose.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. Nah, just wondering what's funny about people with bad teeth.

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. People in general? Nothing.

This was about characteristics of MAGAts. The braindead attendees of MF45's nazi klan rallies who often have bad teeth.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. So bad teeth are a way to tell who's a Trump supporter?

[BlackSkimmer]

23. I'd like to see a pic of the OP.

Might be interesting.

[Atticus]

24. You are absolutely right. People would be TERRIFIED! Birds would fall from

the sky and guppies would be stunned in aquariums across the room!

[BlackSkimmer]

26. Well, at least they wouldn't mock you.

That’s the good thing about the animal kingdom.

They don’t feel superior because of physical attributes.

[WhiteTara]

32. what's "funny" is

that the people without teeth vote for people who refuse to allow them to have teeth via healthcare.

Funny tragic more than funny haha

[WhiskeyGrinder]

40. Some people missing teeth do that. Some people missing teeth don't vote at all, and some people

with missing teeth vote for Democrats. So why make the missing teeth a thing?

[WhiteTara]

53. except for Joe Manchin and 50

republicons, everyone could have had dental care. This is more of an anger thing than condemnation. Anger that sometimes people are so set on hate they can't see how to live like humans.

[dalton99a]

6. MAGA can result from a steady diet of Mountain Dew and meth

and refusal to change the channel

[Paladin]

13. I'm with you, Atticus.

I'm tired of MAGATs benefitting from our kindness and good nature. They are unworthy of it.

[demtenjeep]

42. yup

we act nice and they shove our teeth in

[BlackSkimmer]

18. You think all Dems have great teeth?

Only republicans have bad teeth?

Really?

[Atticus]

25. I have no idea why you would post this since NO ONE said "all Dems have great teeth" or

"Only Republicans have bad teeth" but, whatever, I guess.

[Disaffected]

8. I dunno,

it sounds more like dentalism.

[demmiblue]

11. +1

[alphafemale]

39. I guess you also think it is perfectly OK that these people put Mountain Dew in baby bottles?

It is not a joke.

I have seen it time after time.

They think it is cute to get a 6 month old heavily addicted to caffeine.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

41. lol random

[BlackSkimmer]

46. I worked with many in what we'd call poor households right out of college.

I never once saw anyone give a baby Mountain Dew.

[alphafemale]

51. You didn't work with all that many then

You never heard the high pitched keening cry of a baby needing its caffeine fix.

[BlackSkimmer]

52. I'm sure my experience is sorely lacking compared to yours.

No, I saw women, both black and white, doing the best they could for their infants.

[Polly Hennessey]

3. Made me laugh and Florence SC fits the bill.

[maxrandb]

7. I was going to go to the rally

But I have better things to do than watch a bunch of toothless hayseeds sitting around, swilling warm beer, and bragging about how good their sisters are in bed.

[Danascot]

9. Friend worked in emergency medicine

Her staff had the TTT ratio, which stood for "Teeth to Tattoos". Some of the ratios got pretty extreme.

[patphil]

10. Now that's funny.

[demmiblue]

12. Unrec.

[Hortensis]

14. Have to agree. Urge to self deception is too strong and dangerous to feed.

As for demonization of the "others," don't we know far too well what the purpose of that is and what it leads to?

[enough]

17. Agree. This is essentially making fun of people for being poor.

Seems strange on a Democratic forum.

[BlackSkimmer]

20. This.

The OP hasn’t even sprung for a star, so what’s up with that?

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. WHo said they were poor?

Have you seen the trucks they drive around in?

The made the choice to buy those trucks then send the rest of their money to their idol, the Grifter in Chief, instead of paying a dentist.

[AntivaxHunters]

29. "Poor people can't have nice things!"

Jeez..........

[Atticus]

31. "Jeez" back atya. Who are you pretending to quote? nt

[AntivaxHunters]

57. Your classism is noted

[Atticus]

63. Your failure to even attempt to respond to the question is noted. nt

[USALiberal]

67. +1000

[Mysterian]

27. This is what you posted on the internet as an example of your wit?

Tells me all I need to know.

[BlackSkimmer]

48. What's interesting is that I've noticed with this poster that women are often the butt of the joke.

During my life, I’ve noticed more men without teeth than women.

[Atticus]

64. Surely you can provide several examples to demonstrate my misogyny. These would be posts

where women were the sole "butt" of the joke and they would be less in number than similar jokes about men.

Surely.

[USALiberal]

71. Lol, keep digging! Nt

[AntivaxHunters]

28. What a disgusting comment

I'm sorry but your comment is tremendously offensive and lacks any sort of class consciousness. Millions can't afford dental coverage and this includes a large contingent of POC. This sort of "old" mindset is rooted in stereotypes & bigotry towards poor & working class people. And I imagine many people here are missing teeth because they themselves can't afford dental coverage.

[Atticus]

30. You are welcome to your opinion, no matter how skewed it is.

Should I get bent out of shape by your "ageist" characterization of my "mindset"?

I am not, even though your remark was clearly aimed at me while mine was not directed toward any individual.

People who choose to take offense at such remarks must spend a lot of time with hurt feelings.

[AntivaxHunters]

58. Thanks for proving my point

"People who choose to take offense at such remarks must spend a lot of time with hurt feelings."

Straight up right wing take & the exact same thing said by racists defending the use of the "N word". Literally.
No bueno. Ageism? Context matters. Nothing I said is ageist. That would be about your age and cognitive functionality irrelevant to the policies of the past.

[XiJung]

59. Irredeemable I'm afraid n/t

[AntivaxHunters]

60. Bigotry usually is

[XiJung]

61. Yep n/t

[USALiberal]

69. +1000

[XiJung]

33. Would you mind posting your beautiful face?

....so we can all adore you.

[Atticus]

34. Sure.

😁

[XiJung]

35. Interesting that you chose women to ridicule n/t

[Atticus]

36. Do you also do stand-up? That's hilarious! nt

[XiJung]

37. Why? n/t

[Atticus]

38. I could explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. nt

[XiJung]

43. Still interesting that you picked women to ridicule n/t

[FoxNewsSucks]

44. Why do you think it ridicules women?

Interesting conclusion to jump to. Maybe the implication is that MAGAt men couldn't do it at all, no matter how many. Wouldn't that be ridiculing men?

[XiJung]

45. Never said it did.

I am commenting on his choice of ridiculing women

[FoxNewsSucks]

47. Never?? Right here.

Posts 35 and 43.

"you picked women to ridicule"

[XiJung]

55. Right, it was who HE picked, not WHO he picked...get it?

His picking is what's relevant

[BlackSkimmer]

54. Amazing.

He used women as an example, not men.

[XiJung]

56. Apparently, you have a known history. Bye n/t

[BlackSkimmer]

49. Exactly.

Not unusual at all with this poster.

[raccoon]

50. I like most of your posts, but I have to say here I don't.

For most people, It costs Mucho bucks to keep your teeth when you’re past your youth.

I detest deplorables as much as anybody else here. But if you’ve got some age on you and you’ve still got most of your teeth, you’ve had to put lots of money into it.

[XiJung]

62. I think the best thing you can do right now....

... is to delete this.

Take the L.

Embrace it.

Move on.

[Atticus]

65. So, because a joke at the expense of Trumpies has been criticized as "classist" and several who

are familiar have concluded that I must also a misogynist and a racist I should now take the advice of a poster who joined us 8 whole days ago and DELETE my OP?

I respect DU too much to tell you what you can do with that.

[XiJung]

68. Call em like I see em

You could have chosen men, or men and women. You didn't.

[USALiberal]

70. Classy! Congrats, attact their weight too???

[USALiberal]

66. Are you 12 years old? Silly

[ForgedCrank]

72. I think you forgot

to mention how all of us in the South date our cousins and and have no branches on our family tree.

edit:
Nevermind, I see several people made sure to fill in those blanks in the comments downthread.

[XiJung]

73. WTF?! This is still up?! n/t

[MineralMan]

74. How Crass Your Post Is!

Many seniors and poor people are missing teeth, including myself, because they cannot afford to fix their dental problems. Medicare, for example, offers no coverage for dental work. To imply that people with dental problems are Trumpers is abhorrent.

And yet, when the insensitivity of your post is pointed out, you double down on it.

Shame!

Even at this late date, you can still self-delete your offensive post. I think you should do exactly that, and think long and hard before you post such a thing again. I can guarantee that there are people on DU who would love to get their dental problems fixed, but cannot. Are they also subject to your ridicule and scorn?

I am embarrassed for you. You should, I believe, be embarrassed at yourself.

[MineralMan]

75. No response to my post just above?

[tenderfoot]

76. You're better than that

You’re great but the mockery of the lesser off - regardless of the willful ignorance of some - needs to stop.

[XanaDUer2]

77. No

[MineralMan]

78. The Politico writer who first used this bad joke

In 2018 had to apologize for it. Maybe you should do the same.
