Are the people who wore "grab them by the pussy" and "I'm voting for the felon" t shirts suddenly offended by slogans?
This comment section is confusing me immensely
This post was made by King right after Kamala did a rally in Michigan and used that phrase to trash some Anti-Genocide Pro-Palistine protesters who she first said that "OK I'm Speaking" and then told them to keep it up if they wanted Trump to win. This is after she had had met with muslim leaders and protest leaders and was giving them the run around.
Caitlin Johnstone who is famous for hosting Democracy Now and has been covering the genocide in depth, saw Steven King post this and thought, as many other people did, that it was referring to what she did to the protesters . Then people in the know started to inform us that it was in reference to something she said during the Presidential Debate 4 years ago. Something that her team should take into account and do away with that merch for a while.
ah, that's a little different. Without context, I thought she was bashing heads at some debate.
She personally met with those protesters before the rally, then when they later interrupted the rally, she let them have their moment, then when they wouldn't shut up, that's when she said that. Those particular protesters had no intention of having any kind of discussion, and it's quite telling that they only come to Democratic events instead of Republican ones, who are MUCH more hawkish and pro-Israel than Dems and whom a protest against might be more effective, if they actually cared about Palestinians
To be fair they protest Democrats because they have a history of at least listening. The Republicans, not so much.
If they went to the Republican rallies, the Republicans would violently attack them. Trump has repeatedly and explicitly told them to do so. I can't blame them for not protesting where they know it would land them in the hospital, or worse.
So if the democrats violently attacked them they wouldn't protest?
Interesting, nuanced even.
Willing to put the lives of marginalized people in danger with a trump presidency but if their physical well being is threated, genocide away.
So, here's the real reason they don't show to trump rallies. They are under the impression they can influence the Harris campaign into supporting policy that will strong arm Isreal into ending the Palestinian genocide. Is it far fetched? Possibly, but they are desperate.
Unfortunately, we are all pretty desperate right now. So, the whole weighing human suffering thing is kind of... deaf ears and all that...
Was that shirt official campaign merch to begin with? People make their own t-shirts all the time.
What is happening here
Seems like a dumb slogan but I don't see why you'd get triggered by it. If the Right is triggered by it, that's probably why Stephen King is wearing it.
Also it isn't a slogan it's just on a shirt.
Oh shit. I thought that was Bernie.
Caitlin Johnstone is a Putinist, so of course she’d be gunning for the Democrats. Her bosses want a second Trump administration, after all.
Is he criticizing or supporting Harris with that shirt?
Yes
palpatine voice goooood.
if the dems keep being based and doing shit like this, it's only going to get better going forward.
We need more shitposting like this.
