Evangelical Trump Supporters: Hefner was sexually perverse
September 28, 2017 at 6:05 pm
Quote:One of the grossest aspects of social media is that it turns every celebrity death into a springboard to blog about our own personal feelings.
Well, I usually try to stay away from that kind of thing, but today found myself sucked into one such discussion when I saw a very pro-Trump conservative Christian friend use the occasion of Hugh Hefner’s death to make a political point.
He was trying to highlight what he considers “leftist” hypocrisy, by accusing liberals of being mad at Donald Trump for being a womanizer while at the same time eulogizing Hefner for his progressive views on sex.
But from where I sat, it was conservatives — like said Facebooker — who were forcing the comparison. So I responded: Actually the “rightist” narrative I’m seeing everywhere is, “Hefner ruined our society with his terrible sexual ethics. Go Trump!”
The Facebooker responded, then his friends responded, and within a few minutes there were dozens of likes and responses from Trump supporters who thought it was the easiest thing in the world to defend Trump’s sexual history while excoriating Hefner for his.
I am so beyond confused with Christians who are screaming about how terrible Hugh Hefner’s sexual ethic was for society, and yet brought themselves to vote for and continue to support Trump.

There's that selective bias again.

Just because you wouldn't like to try something out yourself doesn't make it bad or evil or perverse.

They hate Hef because he made them see things about themselves they didn't like.

I don’t know much about Hefner’s personal life, but he struck me more as a guy who loved women, loved sex, and loved a party lifestyle. That’s a huge difference from Trump, who essentially admitted he was a predator. Could be wrong, but that’s the general idea/feeling I have.

It's not that Trump womanizer it's that he's a scum bag while being a womanizer . Hef helped start a sexual revolution . Trump wants to drag Woman back to the early 50s . And i doubt anyone would catch Hef would joke about sexually assaulting women . Or brag that he walked into a woman's changing room .

The big difference between them is that Hef knew swing. Trump couldn't jazz to save his life.

Hef was a gentlemen who simply really liked sex exposed the fact everyone else did too. And he always treated women with respect . Trump is a creep . Who has exposed himself as a creep . And does not even have self respect .

Face it! Hefner's charm and success was based on men saying "That Lucky Mother Fucker!! Then paying for saying it.
