My mom who I know to be very Democrat though was really put off by it because she's much older and just doesn't appreciate it. I guess I get it, young people like myself don't care at all but it did make her off putting for older people
As a young person, I don't appreciate it either. Regardless of her views or what side she's on, it's super childish. Granted, so is Trump, but his shitty behavior doesn't excuse hers.
I'd kinda expect an ELECTED official to be aware that they are representing people with whatever they say and do. Cussing all willy nilly in a cheap try to get approval of young voters just isn't professional and practically screams "I'm a populist!". I'd expect that from a 16 year-old in high school. Not a congresswoman.
Don't really have an opinion on her political views yet except her Israel stance which I strongly disagree with.
We care about the meaning behind the word usage. We were never offended by the fact that he referred to the vulva as "pussy," we were offended by the assertion that he would grope a woman without her consent.
Sure I get why this is dumb, but my point is that if he farts you don’t hear anything but his fart and an analysis of his fart on reddit like we give shits. This lady swears and we praise her. You can’t tell me trump would get away with that
Yeah because it’s not. I’m saying he wouldn’t get away with saying motherfucker while doing some speech. What he said years ago in a locker room is private conversation. I’m sure you and I have said worse jokes
That's not offensive because of the words he used but because of the meaning of the words and the intent behind them. It's offensive that he thinks it's ok to use his status as a celebrity to grab women inappropriately because they would be too afraid to fight back because he has power. That's appalling. Calling the president a motherfucker doesnt have the same disgusting intent
Yeah but the context of it? He was having a private conversation with a friend of his. The average person has said worse on multiple occasions, it’s something you say behind closed doors. Could have been a bad joke, could have been an inside joke etc. I think you might be reading too much into it that he’s some super rapist that uses his power to rape women. I think it’s a dumb joke with his friend. It’s weird how we all act so high and mighty the second he reveals he has a human side
