Wait, I didn’t see the marriage breakdown tweet until now.
It’s too personal for this forum imo and tells us nothing useful about the Trump regime. These are fine lines, I know.
Sympathetic to clovis’s position now.
I explicitly said ( in my couple of short posts I was allowed to make before of course I was accused of equating pedophiles because every fucking discussion has to instantly take the least generous view of every post) that she would be getting harassed by trumpkins due to her posting against him and the fact that she was a young women, who get it 100 times worse.
I made no claim about her being dunked on here. None.
Had I been allowed to make another point, before everyone jumping in to accuse me of equating it to rape, I would have simply pointed out us revelling in the joy of her jabbing at her parents is very likely to have consequences for her. Some which could be very bad.
But of course because no matter how long you are part of the community and how much posting history you have you are NEVER EVER given the benefit of the doubt so instead I get…
He’s is equating this to rape
He is on team Conway
He is saying she should be silenced
He is infantalizing her to protect her from herself
He is confused thinking she is being dunked on
He is an idiot
OK thread sucks, here, I submit, is A Take:

Let’s talk about this intriguing possibility instead.

How exactly is us posting it on here in anyway going to lead to her being harassed by trumpkins?
This is what Dvaut always said.
you are the real victim here

The same Dvaut who said it was justified to torch a journalist’s house (admittedly he was having a huge meltdown and it wasn’t long before he disappeared)?
man people really need to read up on who George Conway actually is if they think he’s the top level mouthpiece of the resistance

lol you guys are too serious. It’s too personal for this forum but not too personal for twitter? Like there’s George Conway and kellyanne tweets posted here in service of “wonder how their dinners are” jokes that add nothing of value about the trump regime and yet it’s still posted. I didn’t know this place was so uptight

Ok. Positive attention given to her could have blowback. Same is true for Greta T. though. This is more salacious or something.
I don’t see it.
Lots of people here seem to identify with rebellious teenagers. Not too many are acting like the specter of a broken home is some PTSD-inducing nightmare.
Yeah ok, but this girl is witnessing her parents marriage breakdown and it doesn’t get much more personal and upsetting than that for a 15 year old.
I agree she shouldn’t be tweeting about it - that’s ridiculous - but we should draw the line at such a private matter…
seriously the argument now is don’t acknowledge a 15 year old on twitter because bad guys would do bad things if you do?
is that like the worst spin ever on ‘trump won because you were mean to racists’?

I mean I was on his side arguing against you/Keed in that one hah. I was wondering if maybe you’d changed your stance at all as a result of the protests.
Are you surprised to hear I’m still not mad about the idea of torching journalists houses, especially when you don’t know who’s in them?
I understand that but she is the one making the posts. Putting them on here doesn’t amplify her posts, that have been seen by at least 100k ppl, in the slightest. I certainly don’t think anyone from this forum will see the post and go bully her online or anything. I mean her posts have been heavily shared on twitter for the last couple of days, little jokes posted on here that don’t make fun of her do not have any effect on any of that

It’s not about amplifying her posts - I agree that’s irrelevant for such a small forum - it’s about standards for this forum. Forum ethics if you will.
We need to have some empathy with what this kid is going through and be not gleeful about it just because her horrible monster of a mother is presumably suffering… Ju/st imagine having KAC as your fucking mum, and loving her and also being 15 and probably hating her too.
Sure 50% of it is us laughing at the absurdity of the Conway family, but 50% is being genuinely happy for the fact (AIF’s theory excluded) that a young, politically active person is not taking the standard rich person prep school stances that are expected from elites. How often do we bemoan the lack of political enthusiasm in youths? How often do we say that millenials/gen-z’s need to basically blackmail their parents into some semblance of decency?
