I used to think that and tell my wife that. She told me she wears makeup to feel all sorts of things: strong, assertive, sexy, dignified, powerful, invisible, whatever. Who am I to tell her she shouldn’t use eyeliner to feel strong when she’s got a big meeting at work? If you like makeup live your life
Their guy getting elected depends on the electoral college, which only loosely represents the popular vote. They don’t need MOST people to like their plans. They need most people in certain districts in certain states.
Why doesn’t Obama’s blackness count? Does a little whiteness trump all his blackness for you?
Do you see how fucking stupid this is yet? Everyone understands what you’re saying. It’s just dumb as fuck. Obama identifies as black. The country sees him as black. Many black folk identify him as black. You calling him white is a self-report by you.
Never do the math on how old the classics were when you were a kid. My first concert ever was Tom Petty when I was under 10. I recently saw Tool live. When I saw Tom Petty in the early 90s he was newer than Tool was when I saw them last year. I am oldening.
Donald Trump is no Teddy Roosevelt. Not a tenth of the leader. Teddy Roosevelt was a flawed man, but an incredible leader, and he ignored every inconvenience or barrier in his life. Being shot was like a cloudy day or a hill: just push through, it’s irrelevant.
And yes, like always progressives are held to a higher standard than fascists for everything…even assassination attempts
Fair enough no hard feelings. The simple fact is we don’t know the motive. We assume but it could just as well be an obsessed fan (a la Selena) as a republican who thinks Trump isn’t extreme enough as a leftist who wants to take out a fascist. Those motives ascribe different responses. It’s also a little naive to think that you could just ignore an assassination attempt. I understand ignoring trumps day to day antics, but this is bigger than those.
Being bored by political violence isn’t caring, sorry. Being bored by the rampant gun violence epidemic, being bored by the American death cult, these things are not caring.
Caring that a former politician was almost assassinated isn’t feeding the trolls. Being bored by the very reasonable deluge of coverage of a former president nearly being assassinated is absolutely grim as hell man. Assuming the poster is American take some fucking interest in your life.
He’s not just a political opponent, he’s also an authoritarian and a fascist. The won’t be sad when he’s dead, the sooner the better.
You say this like the American right isn’t planning violence ANYWAY. You say this like the Christian Nationalists won’t be violent ANYWAY. Trump dying would change nothing about the course of this nation except one more fascist would be dead.
