      Joe Biden meets a voter’s granddaughter in an Iowa coffee shop and asks her age. She says she’s 13. He addresses her brothers. “You’ve got one job here, keep the guys away from your sister.”

      I think professional/creative class Dem-allied observers are "offended" on some level, but it's highly intertwined with fakery. They're performatively offended on behalf of people who aren't themselves offended. Trump supporters are not offended in the slightest, that's 100% fake

          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.

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

          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.

          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!

          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.
