I think the internal family dramas of the Conway family are none of my business. I also think that reading an admittedly patronising, sarky comment and immediately leaping to defcon 1 is an overreaction of precisely the sort you were criticising in the mod thread less than a day ago.
Ok I guess I can understand looking at it from that POV but whatâs unethical about posting her tweets here in a good natured way? I havenât put too much thought into it but I guess there could be some arguments for it
I donât think there is anything ethical about posting tweets like this:

Maybe theyâre just staying together for the kids. How ironic!
Marriage has to be over though right? Unless Flynn and the dude whose tweet he posted have it right and theyâre just playing everyone and weâre all just marks. At least it would explain Kellyanneâs strange sudden need for plastic surgery.

We need to have some empathy with what this kid is going through and not be 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. It;s intensly personal and private for this girl, despite her unwisely posting on Twitter (we arenât 15 year olds and donât get this bit).
Do we want to be THAT forum?
Itâs an open question - Iâm older than most here and maybe the world has changed so much that this is normal and ok even though I hate it.

So much this.
I wish I was politically aware enough as a teenager to call my parents out on their right-wing bullshit. Instead I just took it on without questioning as a teenager. Maybe I wouldnât be standing still and accepting my motherâs deplorableness if I had the awareness to combat it earlier.

Youâre asking if we want to be Twitter?
That sentence means the exact opposite in the US. I think.
You are right. Dvaut is wrong.
lol No.
I;m asking if we want to be the forum that gleefully posts about the breakdown of a 15 year old girlâs parents marriage by posting her tweets, regardless of who the parents are.
I know a lot of kids who have posted things like this online because they want support that they might not be getting in their personal lives (whether this is right or wrong can be argued). I mean sheâs being dragged to ted Cruz sponsored super pac events so I doubt the people around her are that supportive of her ideas but since sheâs posted some of these things online sheâs gotten a lot of support/empathy on her various social media platforms. Maybe internet communities shouldnât be big support structures but for some people in todayâs world they are and it seems like she wanted to increase her online presence to spread her message and show she isnât exactly like her parents

IF Barron tweeted about it emotionally (which wouldnât happen imo), despite us all suspecting heâs probably a little shit Iâm saying we shouldnât gleefully post like itâs a wonderful thing.
Who is doing this?
As far as Iâve seen, most of us are supportive of her. I certainly am.

Is Clovis a secret agent of kellyanne and George Conway!
There are a lot of teenage activists that get attention and have even written books. Are they off limits? Posts about child actors?

Yes good for her when she does actually get away, but for now sheâs 15 and trapped in a home thatâs disintegrating around her and canât escape for at least another 3 years I guess.
Are they getting a divorce?
I donât know, I read one tweet by their daughter that she was ill advised to make imo. it didnât sound like a stable marriage, thats for sure.
If only we could bet on it at PredictIt.

How do you know any of this is true? Maybe the most damaging thing would be for her to keep being silent about her dysfunctional family. Maybe repressing all this crap for the sake of keeping up appearances is bad.
Many (maybe most?) of my friends growing up went through divorces, plus lots of other traumatic family crap. We never really talked about any of it much. It was all bottled up, stiff upper lip, until the pressure became unbearable and finally presented itself in other ways like binge drinking, self-harm, and shockingly reckless behavior of every variety. Perhaps we would have been better off airing all that baggage in public where it could be discussed, so people could have found the help and support they needed.

I think it does slide towards OK! when weâre posting the hidden tweets of a daughter expressing the sorrynotsorries about her parentâs broken down marriage.
