Yeah, I think comments about Trump’s appearance feel a bit different, because he’s male, and because he’s such a preening narcissist, and because he’s made a career out of judging women like cuts of meat. Maybe it shouldn’t, but it feels justified. I think it’s also a little different because it’s not generally his…

THIS. There are plenty of things to insult about Ann Coulter’s/Chris Christie’s/etc’s opinions and tactics. Comments about their physical appearances should just be off the table.
Yesterday my boyfriend insisted on watching parts of the RNC out of curiosity so I was subjected to it against my will and I heard Paul Ryan say something about how Dems want to control all aspects of our lives while Republicans want to defend our liberties.
Honestly, the fat comments from the left about Christie really upset me. And the sexist comments about conservative women. If we let our side get away with that shit, we don’t have a leg to stand on when we want to call the right out for their bigoted nonsense. (Though there’s no question that the right is far more…

Two days in, still only the barest whiff of actual real-deal policy has been spoken of.
Trump talks about purging mosques and banning Muslims and has huge support among the white supremacist crowd, but Hillary is the one who’s Hitler. Ok, sure.
I am shocked. SHoCKED!
I think its the same mental gymnastics the (few) latino and black RNC supporters perform. Shes not like us, we’re the good ones.
“I’m not interested in politics” another vendor told me, a young black woman. “Doesn’t make a difference to me.”
The campaign called Melania “Ms. Trump.” The divorce is already underway, apparently.
Obligatory:
I figured with all the hype it would actually disappoint in the batshit craziness. But no, they turned the craziness up to 11 and it’s actually kind of scary. They’re actually assaulting people carrying signs that say “No Racism, No Hate.”
