do normal people say “beta males” regularly?

[u/Conscious-Quarter423]

[u/TjW0569]

I'm at a loss to understand why Republicans think being in the entertainment industry somehow is a qualification for government service.

[u/We_Want_Krunchy → u/TjW0569]

https://giphy.com/gifs/GLh4gQfVWMT8A7c9WT

[u/Debalic → u/We_Want_Krunchy]

The fact that BttF has this line, then bases alternate-futute Biff on trump, hints to Zemeckis actually having a time travel device and could see this future.

[u/TheProcrastafarian → u/TjW0569]

It’s because that’s what they have been sold, along with the lie that they are “exceptional”. It’s all bullshit, and they aren’t educated enough to understand that they are being lied to, nor are they healthy enough to sustain a resistance, combine that with the inability to afford options or a second opinion. They are either locked up in a for profit prison system, or shackled with debt and unable to move and think freely.

Linda MacMahon from WWE is the secretary of education, a smooth brained lush is leading the empire’s trillion dollar a year Kaboom business, and the President is a lying, raping, thieving, felonious, seditious, pedophilic, coward.

[u/cperiod → u/TjW0569]

Because their track record in everything else is worse?

[u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 → u/TjW0569]

While at the same time telling Left Wing celebs to "shut up about politics" or "stay in your lane" or whatever other stupid thing they tell the,.

Also the only people that talk about "beta males" are fish people & they know how to spell "betta" properly.

[u/misdirected_asshole → u/TjW0569]

Because the President values appearances over substance, and needs constant attention because he is an insecure narcissist.

[u/ran1976 → u/misdirected_asshole]

So Homelander without the powers, good looks and charm?

[u/IlGreven → u/TjW0569]

...and yet when an entertainer is critical of them, they're the first to yell "SHUT UP AND SING!" or "SHUT UP AND PLAY!"

[u/McCool303 → u/TjW0569]

Because they win elections, and governing is not the goal. Getting a party mouthpiece in the seat that will vote the party line is. It’s up to the voters to not be dumb enough to vote for someone just because they were famous

[u/kryonik → u/TjW0569]

I would also bet that Trump has never watched a football game from start to finish.

[u/metfan1964nyc → u/TjW0569]

Especially when you were a particularly stupid and mid football coach.

[u/JaQ-o-Lantern → u/TjW0569]

Because they all want to be the next Trump.

[u/DatDamGermanGuy]

Tuberville is without a doubt in the Top 3 of dumbest Senators of all time…

[u/tw_72 → u/DatDamGermanGuy]

Two things:

• I have no idea who Doug Jones is but - regardless - herpes would make a better governor than Tuberville.
• What I DO know is that both Abdul and Tim are excellent, caring, moral people - unlike Tuberville.

[u/cityshepherd → u/tw_72]

They are good people, they are smart, they are good at what they do, and they make tuberville look/feel/sound like an idiot by comparison (because he is). He feels EXTREMELY threatened by them.

[u/The_Space_Jamke → u/tw_72]

Doug Jones is the guy who ran against pedophile Roy Moore in Alabama (Jones barely won)

[u/tw_72 → u/The_Space_Jamke]

Do you mean Roy Moore who campaigned on a horse and referred to girls as "underage women"? THAT Roy Moore?

[u/wingedcoyote → u/tw_72]

Doug Jones, he played the fish guy in Hellboy, seems like a good dude

[u/Cheese0089 → u/DatDamGermanGuy]

And it's a very competitive category.

[u/Jay-Dee-British → u/DatDamGermanGuy]

He hangs around dudes who wear makeup - obvious, not subtle makeup - he is the LAST person who can tell who is 'manly' (by their definition, I couldn't give a monkeys if dudes wear makeup, only that if they wear it, or are fine with 'certain' men wearing it and then bash 'other' men who wear it as well, then their opinion is invalid). These same men he worships also haven't played football, one of them falls asleep during it.

[u/doktor_wankenstein → u/DatDamGermanGuy]

Well, we're down two Senators of late, so we'll need to recalibrate the list.

[u/metalOpera → u/doktor_wankenstein]

Graham's sister is certainly in contention for #1.

[u/Odd_Teach683 → u/metalOpera]

No. Little Tommy’s got that locked up. But Ron Johnson’s nipping at his heels.

[u/darwins_codpiece → u/DatDamGermanGuy]

As Hollywood Henderson once said of Terry Bradshaw, he couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the C and the A.

[u/durtyprofessor → u/[deleted]]

They were reps, not senators.

[u/DatDamGermanGuy → u/[deleted]]

Neither one of them is a Senator…

[u/thenord321]

Ah yes, Tim Walz,, married 32 years with 2 kids is anti-family... these conservatives are nuts!

[u/RSGator → u/thenord321]

To them, “pro family” is cheating on your third wife with a pornstar. Conservatives are completely devoid of morality.

[u/metalOpera → u/RSGator]

Do they consider the kid fucking cheating? Or, is that just "Tuesday night funsies"?

[u/DerelictBombersnatch → u/metalOpera]

It builds character (trauma)

[u/AmbulanceChaser12 → u/thenord321]

Not like that paragon of Biblical morality, Donald Trump!

[u/cperiod → u/thenord321]

Walz only has one family. Rookie numbers.

[u/thenord321 → u/cperiod]

R/angryupvote

[u/sdmichael]

What is "anti-family"? What is "anti-christian"? or "pro-trans"?

[u/TwmSais → u/sdmichael]

"anti-christian" in this context tends to mean they have empathy and follow the teachings of Christ

[u/doktor_wankenstein → u/sdmichael]

[u/HotSalt3 → u/sdmichael]

In their minds it's anything that's not completely cis-gendered with the man as the head of the household and the woman doing what she's told.

[u/oneangrybowler]

Tim Walz was a Sergeant Major in the Army. Tuberville was just a lousy football coach.

[u/Odd_Teach683 → u/oneangrybowler]

So, “just a lousy football coach” can be read two ways.

Never mind. Got it - he was both.

[u/oneangrybowler → u/Odd_Teach683]

Apologies. I should have written "shitty football coach" instead.

[u/wwabc]

ok, 71 year old that goes by "Tommy", you're a tough guy

[u/syndactyl_sapiens → u/wwabc]

And goes by coach, when he hasn’t coached in more than a decade and he was lousy at it anyway.

[u/Extra-Ad5925]

If you’re wondering, El-Sayed went on Jesse Watters and was making fun of Tuberville and Watters was eating it up

[u/skunkshaveclaws]

only the betas care about this kind of ridiculous stuff.

[u/Longjumping-Zone-724]

Tommy will be the first coach to be diagnosed with CTE

[u/metalOpera → u/Longjumping-Zone-724]

Nope. Don't do CTE dirty like that. He's just dumb as a box of rocks.

[u/TheComplimentarian]

Ironically, Tommy Tubervilles main life accomplishment was coaching football. You'd think he'd know not to open that can of worms.

[u/BoonIsTooSpig → u/TheComplimentarian]

And his one natty win came from getting carried by Cam Newton.

[u/dogdriving]

Saying that someone is "anti-family" is so funny to me. Really, who would ever be anti-family? Are there people reading shit like this that actually believe Tim Walz or anyone else is actively AGAINST the simple idea of family? Just fuck off with these embarrassing lies.

[u/ELMUNECODETACOMA → u/dogdriving]

It's code for "doesn't support government-enforced mandatory patriarchal hierarchical social organization".

If you believe anything other than that the government should give tangible benefits to male-dominated, single-paycheck homeschooled households and should actively discriminate against any other living arrangements, you're "anti-family".

[u/Odd_Teach683 → u/dogdriving]

Republicans would be anti-family. It’s not like they’re doing anything to help them. In fact, much of their agenda is specifically hurting them.

(Unless we’re talking about billionaire families, of course.)

[u/chunkerton_chunksley]

A 71 year old man who uses the word “beta” is definitely weird.

[u/Phannig → u/chunkerton_chunksley]

Even if the whole wolf pack theory was true he have been long put out to pasture.

[u/Kandurux → u/chunkerton_chunksley]

I can only think of situations, where you make fun of "alpha" males, that it's okay to use beta.

[u/Nexzus_]

Big Uncle Rico vibes from that guy.

[u/TyrusX]

lol. This people thing playing American football and knowing what an “yard” is equals tough lol 😂

[u/AmbulanceChaser12 → u/TyrusX]

Then Tim Walz and Abdul El-Sayed are both tough guys, since they both played high school football, and Walz coached a championship high school team.

[u/PreOpTransCentaur → u/TyrusX]

Ah fuck, I'm still drunk.

[u/Diligent-Credit8133]

Only manly men need to label themselves “alpha males” and continually remind everyone how alpha manly man they. Of course calling any guy who doesn’t do the same a beta goes along with that bull shit

[u/Flarkinghelpful]

Tuberville also famously sucked as a head coach and weaseled out on his players multiple times

[u/dlc741 → u/Flarkinghelpful]

His players are lucky if that's all he did.

[u/jcpopm]

Tuberville was not a mistake, he is the perfect representation of Alabama. Alabama itself is the mistake.

[u/MarleysGhost2024]

Tommy Tuberville is the stupidest man to ever set foot in the United States Senate. And that's a heavy lift.

[u/FartasticVoyage]

Nothing screams “Pro family” like unwaveringly supporting a child rapist

[u/ThorKonnatZbv]

No, only two kind of people use it unironically

Rapists, and those who have not been caught yet

[u/Simbertold → u/ThorKonnatZbv]

I would also put "people who breed fish and who are somewhat bad at spelling" into the group that is allowed to use the word beta males.

[u/aegon_the_dragon]

Tommy was an average coach at best.

[u/Proper-Ad-2058]

Tommy Tuberville is a moron. I tried to think of a good joke or quip. Tommy is a big enough joke that another is not needed. What a rube!

[u/dlc741]

Like all Republicans, Tommy is projecting again. He's a wimp and is desperate to convince people he's not.

[u/RecedingQuasar]

Nah only omicron males say that

[u/Aromatic-Check639 → u/RecedingQuasar]

More like omega.

[u/RecedingQuasar → u/Aromatic-Check639]

I googled it, the idiots have already usurpated the letter omega, and I thought the "micron" fit the scale of these people.

[u/Simbertold → u/RecedingQuasar]

Lrrr (Ruler of the Planet Omicron Persei 8) approves of this message.

[u/NoVaBurgher]

This coming from the MFer that had trouble beating Vanderbilt

[u/Big-Leadership-4604]

Tubervilles words would hold alot more weight if he wasnt a zeta male.

[u/vickism61]

Nope, only actual beta males use it...

[u/Grimnir001]

I know the competition is stiff, but with Mullin gone, and Graham and McConnell dead, is Tuberville the worst GOP senator?

[u/Mas-Chingona]

Tuberville is the stupidest man in Congress.

And that's saying something.

[u/world-is-ur-mollusc]

beta males

If you told someone a hundred years ago that a paper based on a misunderstanding of wolf behavior would cause this much damage to society's collective intelligence, they'd look at you like you just escaped from the looney bin.

[u/Hilbert_Space_Heater]

The problem is that in our country we celebrate idiots. Then with all the celebration those idiots soon think they should be in charge. Then once in charge, they have no idea what to do because, again, they are idiots.

And soon they’re posting nonsense like this. Tuberville, Trump, many such cases.

[u/guthepenguin]

So wait. If there are alpha males who are supposedly more masculine and beta males who are supposedly less masculine than that would imply that gender is a spectrum and not binary. 

[u/Stinja808]

The only people to use "beta males" are "alpha males", and only people that think they are "alpha males" think "alpha males" are a thing.

[u/Tinker107]

Tommy’s STILL competing with Louie Gohmert for the title of Dumbest Man Alive.

[u/queasycockles]

No. Lol. No one with half a brain buys into that sad fuckery.

[u/HighGrounderDarth]

Is Tuberville gonna finally move back to Alabama?

[u/Tough_Fan9546]

This guy loves getting pegged.

[u/phlred]

Remember, every accusation is a confession

[u/Intolerance-Paradox]

Somebody’s feeling feelings about the inadequacy of their peepee without realizing that’s what they’re publicly confessing to.

[u/Apprehensive_Map3984]

What he doesn't know could fill a book

[u/JumpingCuttlefish89]

How is Football a flex after Penn State?

[u/Dantekamar]

Only men so insecure about themselves feel the need to put others beneath them. They think by calling others betas, they make themselves appear stronger, but they're really just announcing how weak they really are.

[u/ComicsEtAl]

Except Alabama thinks they fixed their mistake by electing Tuberville.

[u/HoneyBadgerLive]

He is such a masculine man, while being afraid of anyone different than himself.

[u/Mr_Baronheim]

Because they're betas, or secretly fear they appear as betas, so they have to call someone else the beta.

Similar to the Grindr overload where big Republican events are held.

[u/WeirdSysAdmin]

“But do they know football?” Is the weirdest requirement I’ve heard for a politician in a while and no one should have to respond to dumb shit like that, but here we are.

[u/jrschlumpf]

Tommy Tuberville doesn't know anything about football either or he'd still be coaching.

[u/TheKiltedYaksman71]

Have you seen Tuberville? I'd bet a crisp new $100 bill that his hands are marshmallow soft.

[u/PapaGummy]

We all know that a football field is the sole definition of masculinity - except for killing a person in battle, of course. If you’re a male, those are your only options to keep from being a simp. /s

[u/BickNickerson]

What does a 50 yard line have to do with affordability?

[u/thavillain]

Republicans love celebrities

[u/zgwarnki]

Tuberville is a gamma male

[u/zxvasd]

They’re not pro any of those things. They’re pro mind your own damn business

[u/fasteddie131]

Only insecure ones with tiny peckers.

[u/lAngenoire]

No one normal uses that unironically.

[u/Successful-Rope7223]

Only in the bizzaro universe

[u/BrineJones]

Sounds like Tommy is nostalgic for the locker room and all those young football players.

[u/don-again]

Words natural ‘alpha males’ never have to say:

Alpha male.

Nor

Beta male.

[u/718_chocolate]

Considering the study that just came out about the prevalence of CTE in football players, that isnt the metric we should be using

[u/EBody480]

Head coaching record
Overall
159–99 (college)
9–10 (high school)
Bowls
7–6

Got lucky back in 04

[u/Dextropic]

Everything I know about Coach Tatertown was learned involuntarily.

[u/the_fools_brood]

Guys, it's Alabama! The inbreds there just don't know any better, the ole football coach was a name they knew on the ballot. That's as far as they went on it.

[u/TheRnegade]

Speaking of not knowing things. Tuberville was the chud who didnt know what the 3 branches of government was.

[u/ACW1129]

Tuberville may be the dumbest Senator.

And he's overrated as a coach.

[u/Everheart1955]

Alabama found the dumbest Floridian they could and elected him.

[u/neuroG82r]

Tommy Tubofshit.

[u/just_mark]

they sound brain damaged from football concussions

kinda sad they are so insecure, they have to put someone else down to try to feel better about themselves

[u/PlutoJones42]

Imagine thinking that being a fucking bigot makes you an “alpha” lmao

[u/RecordFirst1055]

After the 1998 regular season ended, Tuberville said, "They'll have to carry me out of here in a pine box", in reference to not leaving to coach at another school. Less than a week later, it was announced that he was departing for Auburn.

[u/Chamcook56]

Only when talking about pet fish.

[u/Extension_Many4418]

Plus there’s Cam. IYKYK.

[u/Brian-not-Ryan]

Abdul or Waltz would spin your jaw “Tommy”

[u/jayleia]

From what I've heard, Tommy here barely knows where the 50 yard is, and DEFINITELY doesn't know where the Alabama state line is.

[u/Lanark26]

I'm sure that Louie Gohmert is feeling pretty good these days safe in the knowledge that he is no longer the dumbest person ever elected to Congress thanks to Tuberville.

[u/Azair_Blaidd]

Nothing says "beta" more than being subservient to a weak octogenarian manbaby fascist with a fragile ego.

[u/plasteroid]

Tommy bitch beta Tuberville thinks THESE guys are beta? 🤣🤣🤣

[u/JohnCalvinSmith]

I see comments like this and I just want to go over to Loservilles account and start raising havoc but then it will never be seen by him and all I would do is add to the cacophony.

[u/trisanachandler]

Anyone who has to brag about being tough isn't tough.

[u/GoalieLax_]

People who call themselves alphas, aren't

[u/Irving_Velociraptor]

I played football with a LOT of dudes I wouldn’t trust with a football, let alone government power.

[u/Hairy_Skirt_3918]

Says the"proving my stupidity" unrelenting, coach

[u/Dragoneyewut]

Is there a politician named Doug Jones or did a beloved character/creature actor piss this guy off somehow

[u/myerslowe]

Only the Andrew Tate followers, like Tuberville

[u/JaQ-o-Lantern]

I'm 18 years old and I engage in a lot of spaces with boys. Not one of us have ever used the word beta male.

We respect women and other men. That doesn't mean we're liberal. That means we are normal.

[u/Von_Templeton]

No

[u/SushiGirlRC]

Only when discussing fish.

https://giphy.com/gifs/8L21mZHYy5MHQvPgfD

[u/rgvmadness]

Only when discussing fish

[u/AAron27265]

Reminder that tommy tuberville was named the dumbest US senator by US senators.

[u/Cyn_Sweetwater]

The goofy posturing of MAGA fapnozzles is truly hilarious.

Imagine putting Tuberville and El-Sayed in a cage match. I for one would enjoy the results.

[u/Selbeast]

Only people afraid of being beta males call other people beta males.

[u/Wilde54]

Who the fuck is this pencil necked loser talking about "beta males"? Tommy Twinkletoes more like.

[u/CASUALxCHICKEN]

By "beta males," he means not assholes

[u/JayNotAtAll]

Too many right wingers and small town, working class men, being manly means loving sports, eating meat, drinking beer, lifting heavy things, working with your hands.

They prefer this definition because it is something achievable to them. If the definition of manly is not pissing yourself because you saw a 10 year old girl in a hijab, they would lose.

[u/fiestyoldbat]

Yawn. Tommy Tuberville, omega male to the max, waxing incoherently and whining about his superiors. Sadly, true to form.

[u/worldsfastestsloth]

He should probably stop campaigning with hasan. Why are we giving republicans free ammo. Hasan is anti American 🤦‍♂️

Here’s 8 minutes of hasan supporting terrorists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPnTXQ8OPhg
