It must be uncomfortable wearing a fucking maxi pad on your ear all day long.

Delusional ,

So they’re fine with cloth on the face as long as it’s completely unnecessary?

Seems everyone should have realized by now what a weak, sad, and pathetic group the Republican party is.

CaptSatelliteJack ,

You mean the American Fascist Party?

Lost_My_Mind ,

Yes, you two are in agreement. You’re saying the same thing.

Emerald ,

Not to be confused with the American Nazi Party. But I forget what the difference between the two is these days

I’m the odd man out here. But I don’t see the issue here. If the shoe was on the other foot and Biden got hit in the ear, and the Democrats did this to show support to Biden people here wouldn’t deride them as they do the Republicans here.

There’s many things these politicians deserve criticism for, solidarity for someone having been hurt isn’t among them.

If Harris got cancer we wouldn’t mock senators wearing little pink ribbons.

HobbitFoot ,

Wearing a ribbon is a lot different than wearing a pillow looking bandage. It feels a lot like a grift to sell product, especially if the My Pillow Guy was selling them.

Flax_vert ,

This is just weird

dmtalon ,

all I see is ear masks

Minarble ,

They are wearing ear diapers like sleepy Don because they too have shit for brains.

MehBlah ,

Are they all wearing diapers as well?

XeroxCool ,

Remember that time a bunch representatives wore bandages over their assholes because it was stylish to match Louis XIV’s anal fistula bandage back in the late 1600s? Seems like they really think the have the Sun King again, the self-titled center of the universe

ILikeBoobies ,

sign of love

Sounds pretty gay to me

So the uniform starts with gold tennis shoes, gold diapers, and now an ear bandage. The GOP sure is putting sexy on display!!!

I would love to see someone wearing the whole uniform one day.

Don’t they know a bandage on the right ear means you are gay?

ILikeBoobies ,

I guess I will explain it for people

This is actually a thing…with piercings

Getting the right ear pieced, also called the gay ear, is a way to signal to others that you are gay. I have no idea if it’s still a thing but growing up if you were getting a piercing the rule was left or both

TheWordBotcher ,

Or, as my mom so concisely put it when I was a child, “Right is wrong if you’re straight.”

Lost_My_Mind ,

She voted for trump, didn’t she?

Xanis ,

Is this still a thing? I could have sworn it fell away like ten years ago.

Then again, I wasn’t sure certain types of pants would ever come back. RETURN TO US, JNCO!

Lost_My_Mind ,

Is 40 years old too old to start wearing JNCO and Sketchers again?

Glitterbomb ,

I have two in my right, one in my left, and have been told many times that its the same thing. More in the right ear apparently makes me gay. Im definitely straight, but I kept my piercings like this for the last 15 years, and wouldnt you know it, the only people telling me thats gay are other straight people. This is certainly just personal experiences, but my personal experience is that its not a ‘gay rule’ as much as its a ‘homophobe rule.’ Like you said, pretty sure it was a style or signal in the gay community in the 80s or something, but any more it just feels like an urban legend perpetuated by bigots.

monotremata ,

Honestly it just reminds me of the moral panic over “cock ring Ken.”

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earring_Magic_Ken

(also amusing in this context to note that his earring is in his left ear, so I’m not sure even the homophobes were consistent about this)

flicker ,

I actually always figured it was based in the same logic as flagging. Beware; extremely NSFW link about sex and BDSM.

Imgonnatrythis ,

This was never a very reliable thing ever and certainly isn’t anymore. The joke the OP makes is in reference to what it was used for, which was an attempt to attack / stigmatize anyone who did choose their right ear for a piercing perpetrated by small minds. Many of those small minds have now grown into the hateful old bigots that are the base of the GOP.

Maggoty ,

I heard it was the left ear, or any piercing, or it was the right ear, or it was only certain kinds of piercings.

None of it was true.

BassTurd ,

Imagine what they would have done if the bullet struck. Would they have also drank the metaphorical Kool aid in solidarity? That would have been convenient.

fsxylo ,

See monkey do monkey.
