People with only Trump-hating friends are creating viral stories that will obviously work against their anti-Trump agenda.
It's especially bad when privileged people flaunt hostility aimed at the women — Ivanka and Melania.
In addition to that harassing of Ivanka on the plane yesterday, there are the artists who — after selling artwork to Ivanka — are demanding that she remove it from her walls:
“She frequents the art world, what’s sometimes called ‘the New York liberal bubble,’” curator Alison Gingeras, a leader of the movement, explained to The New Yorker. “So we already know we can speak with her, and we want to appeal to her personal stakes.”And I just stumbled into this story about Olivia Wilde* Instagramming about her haircut: "Feelin myself apparently. Thanks to the master @harryjoshhair for the chop. #nomoremelaniahair.”
Thus far, however, Ivanka has not responded to the “Dear Ivanka” protestors, nor to the many fears and anxieties they’ve disclosed. And until she does, the art world must continue to take a stand.
There has long been an economic divide between the people who make art and the people who buy it, but now more than ever artists working to resist the normalization of hate and protect the rights of marginalized communities are realizing the art marketplace is no longer an apolitical business.

* I know: Who's Olivia Wilde? I had to look it up. Got to the Wikipedia page. Was instantly distracted by the photograph:

I'll concede that she really did have a looks-too-much-like-Melania problem. Maybe before it was the sense that Melania looked like her, and the tables got horrifyingly reversed.

I'm assuming "Conservatives are evil and that's all there is to it, gay or not." is snark.
If so, fine. If not, then you haven't been paying attention.
Chuck said...having observed that the general domestic political climate has been, well, heated by Mr. Trump's Twitter account et cetera,

Having felt myself under scrutiny from those who seem to feel if you're not all in, your a traitor on the other side..if you think Trump's twitter comments are responsible for the heated political climate..gotta disagree.
The heat's been on long before he was even a contender.
By the way, those doubting him on being a lifelong Republican while simultaneously saying Republicans have long been this or that negative might want to check that...since the two can actually comport...the "hope" being a break from it.
The reality is many were not tradguy style worshippers, but folks picking the lesser of two evils. The real critiques should be leveled at those so mentally conflicted/indecisive they avoided it all...to get the "don't blame me" sticker.
This doesn't have anything to do with Trump. This happened because what Matthew Lasner and Daniel Goldstein despise more than anything is a beautiful young woman. They envy the life giving force that women have, and the spell of attraction they cast upon men. Gay men want that all to themselves. Gay men are the real misogynists.
So.."they" are doing this on every flight with attractive young moms?
"Madison has every other city beat hands down. "
Small town. Berkeley is probably more racist based on interviewing students about the voting rights act.
Not surprising - they are right by Oakland. One of my partner's best friends was supposed to go to high school there (his father had a year or two appointment at UC Berkeley), and picked up and moved back to PHX for his senior year, due to the black on white harassment he was receiving back and n Berkeley.
Walter, you're right that my first sentence is flawed. But the main point stands. Daniel wouldn't have made a peep if Jared was with her. And he wouldn't dare roll up on Donald Jr., or Eric that way.
