This article doesn't read as political, it reads as serious mental illness. Apparently he came out as pan, came out as bi, came out as trans etc. and only after being harassed to shit did he backpedal and say it was (only the trans bit...) all a "trick." It sounds like he went back in the closet and spewed a ton of hatred to defend himself, and like he's generally a shitting lunatic.
"Guys, it was just a prank. Im not actually trans. I was just owning the libs!" Dude sent back into the closet because he refused to move away from his community. Shame. He was so close.
I read this as, "I came out and all my friends and family turned on me and the only support I got were from people I'd been taught were bad by my friends and family so I detransitioned and pretended it was a joke."
The left is "gullible and delusional" because they didn't assume that he was intentionally and dishonestly trying to trick people into accepting him as trans, and he now acts vindicated in his bullshit because he intentionally and dishonestly tricked people.
He claims that all trans women are just men playing dress-up because that's what he did, and this fucking dipshit doesn't understand that other people aren't the same as him.
Ah yes, the right-wing "I can't conceive of it, therefore no one else can." and "This is how I think/feel, therefore everyone else must think/feel the same!" egotism.
Yes, that's why I keep trying to explain to people that taking the high road with conservatives is a waste of time! They understand bullying! It's their language. You have to speak their language!
This is like...pretending to be gay, following though in being a bottom, then after finishing look back and be like "Ha! I'm straight and you couldn't tell the difference loser!"
What's funny to me is that he's presenting it as proof that "The Left" is gullible and delusional, as if "the right" didn't also believe him, the only difference is the left was kind and supportive, while the right was cruel and hateful. Maybe both sides are gullible, but at least the left is capable of human decency and empathy
I feel like this is really just "I finally came out as trans but I discovered how many of my friends and family treated me like absolute shit, so now I'm pretending I was kidding".
Here’s a social experiment, maybe one of us sane people comes out as republican and starts spewing hate, bigotry, racism, and violent right wing rhetoric and then pull the rug out and say “HA! I was a libcuck the whole time!” And see how many death threats we get.
Is the guy the same guy who decided to be homeless and prove he could make a million dollar from nothing, then proceeded to use his old affluent connections to get "gig work", i believe ended up getting a business loan and then still gave up because it was too hard for him to live a life without a constant supply of luxuries?
He was on a fucking bachelor type show. He is desperately trying to do something to stay relevant in his own mind. Its nonsense, but here we are reading about it and commenting about it. we are all idiots.
It’s not, look at that first picture. Look at the cocky sarcastic shit eating grin. He’s just being a piece of shit. Then he pairs it next to some elitist heroic bullshit holier than thou look on the right. He’s just a piece of shit.

I bet he fucked a bunch of dudes to stick it to the libruls, too. Or stick it in the libruls.

What are the odds currently on them actually being trans and using this as a test to how it would feel?
IDontCareAtAllButIShould
How dare they take me at my word and support me. I'll go with the crowd that hated my guts.

Every accusation, etc.

It's amazing on how close they get to the truth all the time and every time go with the wrong take on it.

So all of the people who bullied him and made awful comments were ... smart? Yeah, get out of here with your bs.

$10 says this guy was caught being trans and came up with a story to protect himself from his friends and family.
CardboardEmpress
What's sad about this is that he didn't recognise kindness and tolerance when he saw them.

The word "star" is doing a lot of work here.

Can we bully him now that we know he's a dumbfuck?
Tumescentpie
Yes.
MrRandom314159
Not sure really. Maybe they ARE but felt isolated so they chose to use this as an out? I didn't follow the situation... or know about it.

Yes. The answer is yes.

I don't understand what he thinks he's trying to say with this.

"former bachelorette star"
His goal was publicity and it worked. Clearly.

Hey, whatever he has to tell himself to give himself permission to transition
ArgentXero
This is like...pretending to be gay, following though in being a bottom, then after finishing look back and be like "Ha! I'm straight and you couldn't tell the difference loser!"
dorenavant
The fact he’s a former “bachelorette” (whatever that means) tells me everything I need to know about how much attention this guy craves.
2074red2074
Former Bachelorette star. He starred on a show called The Bachelorette, it's just a stupid reality dating show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bachelorette_(American_TV_series)
dorenavant
Thanks. I’ve heard about the show but I missed reading the word ‘star’ and found it odd they were referring to him as a former bachelorette. 😂

Not all sociopaths are Republican, but I'm pretty sure all Republicans are sociopaths.
Calicoastin818
So many sociopaths trump being the biggest sociopath of them all, can’t wait to vote so turnip brain goes to prison
delecti
Not all. There are plenty of people who have just been duped. A lot of uninformed voters genuinely don't know what policies they're voting for.
KerryCoder
In 2016, people were duped. In 2024, they're sociopaths.
whitegirlcanteven
They're one (or more!) of three s's: sociopath, stupid, supremacist (white, male, Christian, rich, straight...ya know)

All Colbert for more about that. He gave up in the end.

Dod he get threats, or did he end it before we got to this point?

Nah, this guy's name is Josh Seiter. That rich guy was Mike Black. Jocelyn Figueroa wrote a very brief but accurate article about it. https://invisiblepeople.tv/does-the-millionaire-homeless-project-on-youtube-falsely-represent-homelessness/

I don't like it that kindness is seen as a weakness.
thesnow
I was an asshole, and then for a while pretended not to be an asshole, but later resumed being an asshole, to prove that I am, in fact, an asshole
mikeatike
Yeah, this is how conservatives think. Compassion is weakness.

What if he was actually coming out and the right torched him and he lost money because of it or something and this is him trying to save face

You're absolutely right, and I wasn't suggesting he was at all. I was posing a hypothetical that I thought would have been funny that's all.
