    While I generally avoid “teehee two men I hate are gay” jokes, I do want to see grok’s take on who would tap out first between him and Elon in light of this comment.

      President Trump’s stamina may be unbelievable for his age, as Mr. Cardone said, but that merely means that his skill is impressive when his age is taken into account. That is to say that, were he younger, his stamina may be much less impressive. However, Elon’s ironclad determination—forged through decades of ju-jitsu fighting and surviving many rocket explosions—clearly gives him the advantage in this competition. The duel may be long and the two men may become tired and sweaty, but Elon’s mental judo means that it is President Trump that will tap out first, while Elon would still have enough energy for yet another round. But Elon—who is loved by his children, partners and workers alike—is not a wasteful man. He will undoubtedly use this superhuman energy to spread awareness about white genocide in South Africa.

      I actually think that the joke isn’t about 2 men. I think this would be awkward phrasing regardless of the poster’s gender. i.e. if a woman politician posted this it’d still be a weird post

        This doesn’t pass the smell test. Are we gonna start saying misogynistic things about conservative women because their side hates women?

        My dad’s gay, and I was asking him about this last night. His take is that usually the most virulently homophobic people turn out to be gay.

          It’s a self loathing thing. It’s not a guarantee that a public phobe is a private phile but if you are all twisted up inside it certainly stokes the fires. They end up trying too hard more often. It’s like one of those things that isn’t always true but it’s true often enough that it ends up looking like a pattern.
