I just don't believe that anyone is actually offended by this. They're fakinghttps://twitter.com/lizcgoodwin/status/1138817493064138752 …

Perhaps coastal managerial class 20-and-30-somethings on Twitter don't realize that their parochial cultural sensibilities are not shared by the rest of the country. I wonder if that impedes them from properly comprehending the political landscape in the USA. Hmm, just a theory

I think you are missing the point. Joe isn’t offensive. He’s creepy. If an old guy who was not a relative spoke to a 7th-grade girl like that back in the 1970s, when I was that age, we’d have assumed then, too, that he was a dirty old man. That’s not offensive, but it’s creepy.

What if I’m not clutching my pearls and calling the cops but I’m like “eh shitty thing to say, old man.”

Some are faking it, some are naive and sheltered enough to actually buy into it.

Trump supporters would see this as a virtue, that a brother should watch over their sister.

He's not running his hands all over her. That's a HUGE improvement.

I mostly agree with your take, but as a parent of two daughters I do find this "shotgun dad" shtick not as much offensive as just old and tired.

It's just kind of a weird thing to say...like he's saying the little girl is "hot" in an indirect way. If a man said that about my daughter I would be a little wary about leaving him alone with her. He just says and does too many weird things like that.

Trump supporters watch the 15 minute child-sniffing compilations on YouTube and conclude that he's probably doing PizzaGates

You're right. "Offended" is a word that conservatives use for everything because they're not good with nuance but it's not the right term here. Disappointed, exhausted, embarrassed... all better descriptions. Cringe, maybe. Imagine defending women-as-property in this day and age!

As a father, I'm offended by Joe Biden's very presence...and yes, he is creepy and if he touched my daughter the way I see him touching other people's, I'd take him out behind the woodshed for sure

Ever notice how for Michael Tracey, people are just "carboard cutouts" - they're Dem-allied, or Trump supporters, or Neocons, or some other category. He has no finer grain of analysis than such arbitrary categories for people

Both sides fake offense so often in order to score points, they start having trouble telling when they’re faking, and start being genuinely offended by things they shouldn’t care about. Can happen to anyone toying with Alinskyite tactics.
