What is it about weirdo conservatives that makes them so red? I distinctly remember Alex Jones doing a bit with his shirt off, and that motherfucker was also beet red.
Hypertension, alcoholism, tanning booths, hypertension and alcoholism. Hard drugs maybe.
Not to take away from your point, but I think you forgot to include alcoholism and hypertension
Shit.
All good, I got you fam.
The word is "gammon" :)

Phenomenal, thank God for the British.
Ah, the Great Wall of Gammon. Possibly the worst thing BBC Question Time has produced.
Hypertension, perhaps
Lots and lots of TRT. It increases red blood cell production and can cause flushing especially if you're already predisposed to something like hypertension.
Basically, if you see a dude past 45 put on more muscle than they had before they had in their 30s they are getting a lot of trt.
Alcoholism?
He doesn't drink alcohol.
How do we know? It's not like these guys are known for never being hypocrits.
His brother died from a drug overdose so I'm inclined to believe it, and I've never seen anyone contradict it.
I mean, good for him if that's the case, maybe it's some sort of testosterone or some other hormone therapy that leads to it as others have suggested (a la Rogan, I don't know his relationship with alcohol either, aside from seeing a bit of "Sober October" in what feels like a decade ago)
I thought certain types of steroids make you red like this along with giving you a swollen belly which goes along with all the anger and irrational behavior exhibited by these fools.
It's evolution. 20 years ago conservatives were mostly old white guys with pink skin. In another 20 years, they should be a rich, deep crimson.
The red hat dye is running. It's what happens when you buy the merchandise from wish.
High dose TRT and melanotan probably.
Really, that just makes me sleepy.
Tren is known to make a person red as well.
