Idk man. Is this really meaningfully different than when the right was piling on Obama for wearing a brown suit?
And any time the narrative is "look at what this woman decided to wear and judge her harshly for it," I think it's worth taking a moment to step back and evaluate if you might be the baddie on this one.
And I feel like "getting to first base with the VP" is overstating it. It's a weird hug for sure, but it's not egregious. She moves her hand to his head for, like, half a second. I've known parents who kiss their kids on the lips. Is it weird? Hell yes. But I don't think they were plowing their kids. They were just weird in how they did social affection. And this is way less weird than that.
And look back at that image again. Imagine this was about Michelle Obama. Let's say that she wore something the right found questionable to her husband's funeral, and decided to make a "lying grifter bitch" outfit about her? It would be, at best, in bad taste. And while they could always defend themselves with, "well she shouldn't have decided to dress like that if she didn't want to get mocked," I think that I'd rather not associate myself with that kind of rhetoric, personally.
Jesus, man. The false equivalency is just so terrible.
The devil never asked for an advocate, and those nazi wannabes didn’t either. You don’t have to defend them, especially with language they’d laugh at.
They're not defending anybody. They're just stating that punches below the belt aren't cool, even if you're hitting MAGAs.
It’s always cool to kick a nazi in the balls.
But only literally. And preferably without any misogyny showing.
It’s not misogyny she is just a shit head.
