Despite the rallies and campaign, I’m really starting to think that he knows it’s so far beyond anything he can fix that he thinks he just has to make it to November and then it’s someone else’s problem.

America had ample opportunity earlier this year to decide this wasn’t acceptable. Instead they picked Biden, the physical manifestation of “it worked for me, you just need to pull yourself up by your boot-straps and deal with it”.

God help us in the next decade, cause this shit isn’t gonna get better.

Removing Jesus from churches? Disruption of the nuclear family?

This breaks my damn heart. I’ve followed this story since he first became ill and was really hoping he’d pull through.

It’s a goddamn tragedy. Each and every death has a story behind it, a family, wives and kids and mothers and husbands and fathers and friends. Here’s one more we can put a face and a name to. Each one could have just as easily been me. Or you.

See, shit like this is absurd.

Just because you CAN hold a rally in the middle of a raging epidemic doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

What are you, some kind of rat or raccoon or something?

My mouth is agape in horror. I can’t even begin to unpack the large amounts of misogyny, rape justification, and lack of empathy within this statement.

I mean, in the letter itself it says that she pretty patiently HAD those good faith discussions:

Is the second entry in reference to Sam Smith? If so, please do not misgender them. Thanks!

Hey Joan, Sam Smith is non-binary, THEY/THEM. You just wrote a whole paragraph literally calling them a man over and over. Edit that, it’s gross.

I’m sure she meant no police...

“Redefining ‘sex’ to mean ‘gender identity’ creates chaos,”

Abolish *capitalist* schools and hospitals? Absolutely.

The fake concern trolling is so gross, but so expected. The worst part for me was her use of retrograde patriarchal language to paint the increasing visibility of trans men as emotional, deluded, mentally disturbed and possibly abused teenage girls; she might have been a 19th century man decrying “female hysteria.” Way…
