One of the times I was sexually assaulted, I was explaining what happened to a friend, and she said, “That’s rape.” She was right, and it was hard for me to label it that way. I’m not… 37412

Reposted by Optimistic DoomerKyle Clark @kylec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Marx regales evangelical church crowds with a story about stopping illegal border crossers, saying: "We made them pay a price. We absolutely did." Marx used his frequent euphemism for violence, saying, "They got their feelings hurt." In our interview, Marx denied using violence. 221229
Reposted by Optimistic DoomerKyle Clark @kylec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In referencing his "high risk missionary" work aboard, Marx has said "some people need to be shot" and "some people need to be killed." When I asked how many people he's personally killed, he said, "Does it matter?" Then said, "If I did, I wouldn't be telling a reporter." 323439
Reposted by Optimistic DoomerKyle Clark @kylec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Marx has routinely bragged about his ability to inflict violence when he believes it is justified or necessary but also appears to enjoy intimidation for sport, once telling a psychiatrist "How does it feel to be in a very small close quarters office with a man who can kill you?" 527953
Reposted by Optimistic DoomerKyle Clark @kylec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Marx has a long history of explaining away, condoning, or even embracing violence. When I questioned Marx about this in our lone interview, he dodged, played word games, and flatly refused to say how many people he's killed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KywO...youtube.comFull interview: Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Victor MarxYouTube video by Next 9NEWS 230864
Reposted by Optimistic DoomerKyle Clark @kylec.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In 2014, Marx said there wouldn't be as much domestic violence if women would be happy with "where God has them." It appeared he was suggesting that women were too eager to be in relationships with abusers. Democratic nominee Phil Weiser condemned Marx's comments this week. 940383

Here's a longer version of the 2021 clip where Marx laughs about slamming his wife Eileen into a door so hard that she cried. Marx says he was teaching her a lesson that she needed self-defense training. Marx says she learned her lesson. 2233794

Reposted by Optimistic DoomerMatt Darling @besttrousers.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The reason we're seeing higher female payrolls is that we are also seeing high female LFPR - currently 78% (max was 78.4% in August 2024). I think it's got to be a supply side story (women more willing/able to work) not a demand side story (growth in industries that tend to hire women). 8304
