Even the most casual Victory Girls reader knows that we like to take the mickey out of Salon writer Amanda Marcotte. The committed Fourth Wave Feminist has the most insular derp takes on every issue. She is obsessed with sex herself and accuses anyone she disagrees with of being obsessed with sex. Her latest is accusing new Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson of being an incel. Okay, then.

For those who don’t know, an “incel” is:

pluralincels
: a person (usually a man) who regards himself or herself as being involuntarily celibate and typically expresses extreme resentment and hostility toward those who are sexually active
The term “incels” emerged from a Reddit group in which tens of thousands of users, most of them young men, commiserate about their lack of sexual activity—many of them placing the blame on women.
—Josh O’Kane
In recent years, a number of these men have identified as so-called incels, short for involuntary celibates, an online subculture of men who express rage at women for denying them sex and who frequently fantasize about violence and celebrate mass shooters in their online discussion groups.
—Julie Bosman et al.

The Marxist Marcotte is angry and bitter and is more likely than Mike Johnson to be a committed incel. She’s a miserable female who is super judgy about anyone who is not her. This is her latest for Salon:

“Sexual anarchy”: New House Speaker Mike Johnson showcases the incel-ization of the modern GOPThe Louisiana congressman’s career has been centered around his bitter obsession with other people’s sex lives

Check out this opening paragraph:

Ahead of his sudden ascension to House speaker late last week, the media had little time to vet Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., thoroughly. And because he sucks in so many ways, it’s been hard for his critics to settle on one of his many evil inclinations to focus on. He’s a Christian nationalist. He’s an election denier. He wants to destroy Medicare and Social Security. He’s a fan of neo-Nazi conspiracy theories. As Brian Beutler of Off Message writes, “typecasting an opposition leader” may be tedious, but it’s politically necessary. Democrats have benefited from the fact that the most famous Republican villains have one standout trait that defines their personality: Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is a pugnacious bully. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is a loudmouthed Karen. Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California is a spineless suck-up.

I can’t be bothered to refute each of these calumnies. Instead, I will describe Amanda Marcotte for you: Amanda has been bitter and tortured since her imaginary best friend refused to sign her high school yearbook and she despises people of faith because they don’t worship her. She hates happily married heterosexuals with happy sex lives because she doesn’t even want to have sex with herself. See how that works. Although…I suspect I am right about Miss Amanda. As right as she is in her assessment of anyone else. Here is more:

But so far, no single narrative about Johnson has emerged. Which of the many flavors of “right-wing radical” is best to focus on? As I offered my newsletter Friday, what stands out to me about Johnson — and I suspect will be compelling to most people — is what a sinister little creep he is. The man gives off strong incel energy, and his elevation really showcases how much the politics of bitter sexual obsession have come to dominate the Republican Party.

Amanda Marcotte sounds sinister and creepy herself. She posted this to X:

The GOP has turned into "a coalition of men who fear, often for very good reason, that their repulsive personalities exclude them from a world where sexual expression requires consent."https://t.co/qGsfd7jvv4

Marcotte has ugly (Southern Ugly oozing out every pore. And, she wants to talk about repulsive personalities? Crikey. Let us watch a video about Mike Johnson and his wife Kelly:

I love his praise for his wife. I love their Covenant Marriage. Is Marcotte a little green jelly bean? It breaks some people to know that there are happy people out there living their best lives.

With Marcotte, it is sex AND religion:

Journalists and Democratic researchers have been carefully compiling a couple decades worth of quotes from Johnson, who flat-out rejects the First Amendment prohibition against government-imposed religion. Instead, he falsely claims the Founders wished to impose his deeply fundamentalist faith on the public on the grounds that we “depend upon religious and moral virtue” to “prevent political corruption and the abuse of power.”

Johnson is lying, of course, as demonstrated by the fact that he helped lead the effort to steal an election for Donald Trump, which was a corrupt abuse of power on behalf of a man lacking all moral virtue. As usual with these right-wing freaks, the Jesus chatter is just a thin cover for the real fixation: Fury at other people for having all the sexy fun times.

On faith, different from religion, Miss Marcotte should read the Federalist Papers, probably for the first time, and read Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists.

Johnson is NOT lying and there was no effort to steal an election for Donald Trump. For those of us Right Wing Freaks, we don’t need Jesus chatter as a thin cover for anything. Fury at other people for having all the sexy fun times sounds like a YOU problem.

Feel better.
