Democrats and Republicans Hate Fat People
Le me start off by saying I am and always will be a “fat” person. I have struggled with my weight since I was nine, and while I have been successful in losing weight and keeping it off for some time, I will never grasp how easy it is for people to limit portions and not overeat. I just will not.
Right now I am in a bracket of being overweight. Although I have successfully lost 70 pounds over the last few months in a “normal” way (Not with pills, shakes, and what not like I am accustomed to, I am still “fat”.
So when I am writing this, I am writing this from my life experiences. The only research I have done is waking up and dealing with people and going to bed after.
And I can tell you confidently, both sides hate fat people. Republicans hate fat people. Democrats hate fat people. Independents hate fat people. In fact, I am going to go on a limb and tell you that over 90% of people, most who have never struggled with true weight issues, hate fat people.
Now, I guarantee that a majority of the people who have read this already disagree and are going on the defense. And that is okay. I am not saying this to anger people more. I am saying this because to me, this is a fact. And I have lived it every single day.
See, I have not had a drink since 1996. I have not smocked a cigarette since 1998. I have worked hard to keep a float financially. I do not have a gambling issue. I do not have a shopping issue. Relationships are not an issue nor is being a good father to my children.
Many people struggle with one of the items that I mentioned above. But I cannot look at you and realize that. You can look at me and instantly see that I struggle with portion control. And you can look at me and before I can criticize you, I have to realize that I am fat, you are not, so the conversation is over. You win. I lose.
Insulting someone for being overweight is literally the easiest thing to do. And it is easy to insult a beautiful woman for not being a size 4. It is easy to insult a guy at the gym because he is wearing a 4xl sweatshirt. And this is not a partisan issue.
My favorite example is Donald Trump. This is even an example that I am guilty of. Here is a man who is a shitty husband, a shitty father, steals money from the American people, attacked citizens, and started an insurrection. With all of that, people still mock him for being fat. And the worst part is, people use photoshopped images or some weird posed photo to do so. I hate Donald Trump, but the fast that he is thinner than me for most of my life and you insult him basically shows you do not give a fuck about me. Same with Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Sarah Sanders, and Elise Stefanik. Making fun of their weight and not their “achievements” shows you have no respect for overweight people. You can justify this all day because you do not want to be lumped in with assholes wearing MAGA hats. I get it. But it is true.
Same with my art. You have no idea how many people wrote me to tell me they love my art and then when I wrote a tweet they disagreed with, my art was “stick figure shit.” And you become bitter with a majority of the people because you realize people are only kind to you if they agree with you 100%.
But for this most part, it doesn’t matter who you voted for. I have little respect for people who vote Republican. Especially in today’s world where Republicans want to take away rights from women and the LGBTQ community. Their greatest accomplishment is putting a Emmyless reality star as the President who in turn nominated three horrible people to make the Supreme Court disgusting. But plenty of people who love Joe Biden, Beto O’Rourke, and AOC have called me a “fat fuck”. So just stop.
And it is okay. It really is. I am open about my struggles with weight. I am open about my successes and failures with weight loss, and always will be because I know the small percentage of people who are like me will appreciate it. And if it helps one person not feel alone, or that feeling good when you wake up is possible, then I will do it.
But enough of the lies. Democrats and Republicans both hate fat people.
And they prove it every single day with their words and actions.
But it won’t stop me from achieving my goals.
