    I can’t imagine giving a fuck, let alone wearing corrective shoes.

    Hell I’m balding, so I must shave my head. I like it, other than the possible implications of my support for shitbsgs

      I think the insecurity is what is being made fun of here. Bald people shaving their head generally don’t get made fun of but, weird comb overs do because one is clearly insecure about it while the other is confidently bald.

      In this case he is clearly insecure about his height and is wearing silly shoes to hide it. Or rather his reptilian handlers told him that being taller would improve his approval rating slightly.

      Just be bald, just be short, just be fat, have a weak chin or a weird nose. Do things to complement your appearance but be confident about it.

      I also think it’s fine to make fun of a fascist torturer for things that it would be wrong to make fun of normal people for.

      As a woman with a high hairline, I embraced having nice hats … seriously, I love my hats and there’s no reason dudes can’t as well :-)

      I also rock lots of headscarves, but that’s a bit more gendered :-/

          Fair point, they’re somewhat limited in patterns though aren’t they? (I don’t know, I’m in Europe and about the only time I’ve seen someone wearing a bandana they were cosplaying American bikers)

            Depends on where you get them. If in the rural areas of the country, they tend to be found in just about any gas station, but as you stated the patterns tend to be the same ones in most if them. Those patterns being the American flag, the confederate flag, the jolly roger, and the old standby red and blue ones with a, I believe, fleur de lis pattern.

            But, elsewhere you can find them at gift shops, theme parks, theme restaurants, etc. With all sorts of licensed patterns, such as animated shows, video games, and licensed properties such as Star Wars, Disney, etc.

      Bruh! Same boat. In 2019 I had a receding hairline and the same cut as that Charlottesville douchebag that was plastered everywhere.

      Now I just gotta shave it. Pretty pissed at the alt-right for ruining the one of the very few haircuts I could pull off (amongst MANY other things).
