why in the world are we still asking this question in 2019?
Trump: says and does racist things.
People: call Trump racist.
Journalists and politicians:
Ok but like
There’s no benefit in her going on live television and saying Trump is a racist without elaborating on the subject
What he’s asking is a leading question and sure, taking his ‘how can you say that’ out of context works well to make him seem like he supports Trump but that’s not how it was said in the interview. How it was said was to get her to continue to talk about why Trump is a racist
Don’t believe me? Skip ahead in this video to 0:15 seconds and listen to the entire thing in context.
She then goes on to ELABORATE on how he uses dogwhistles and his reaction to Charlottesville (by calling Nazi’s fine people) so people who tune in to the interview can draw connections to what she’s saying as opposed to just reacting, like op did, to the exact words that are said.
I think too many people on here fail to realize that news, real news, isn’t done by just saying shit. You have to be able to back it up and in order to do so, you need to be able to spell something out for people who don’t get it. And someone who already has been criticized by people for her views (including by people on here, bizarrely, because they keep things she’s said out of context) need to be able to get all the information out there.
“Getting to the truth” journalism isn’t just pelting known liars with hard questions and fact checking, it’s also giving a platform for the people who need to be heard, giving them openings to say their piece, and, when needed, urging them to elaborate.
In other words, so many people have come to the general consensus that Donald Trump is an idiot that it actively affects Google’s algorithm which takes into account trillions of websites and web searches to try to match keywords with relevant images. This is a real world example of “If you look up x in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of y” and the fact that the Republicans blame Google for “search results bias” instead of admitting that most people think that the current president is an idiot. That’s hilarious.
FUN NEW GAME OR THE RPC IN 2K19: remember that rp is a hobby and that people can’t memorize every single little thing you prefer on your blog and people will fuck up and instead of treating them like shit for: forgetting a certain headcanon, not reblogging a meme from the source, forgetting one part of your rules, etc, just????? be nice?????? the majority of people here have jobs. if they don’t, they probably have school. if they don’t, they have family obligations. kids. parents to take care of. health problems. mental illness. stuff going in in real life in the actual physical non-tumblr world that is far more important than this blue hellsite. don’t like someone? don’t like what they post? don’t want to see them on your dash? block! blacklist! pettily ignore their entire existence! tell your cat! got something mean to say? write it in your diary and not in someone’s ask box. recognize that people are people and they will make mistakes and if you yourself can not hold yourself up to the ridiculously high standard that this community often has, don’t penalize other people for not being able to either. good day.
Absolutely tear apart “I’m being forced to marry this woman” jokes. I hate them so fucking much. Do you know how much of a let down it is to see the person you love and share so much with turn around and rag on you to your friends as “the ol’ ball and chain”? Imagine trusting and respecting someone so much that you’re willing to commit your life to a union with them, and meanwhile they’re talking about how their life could only get worse if they were married to you. Destroy the idea that a man’s life is best when he’s a player, and that his life is “over” once he allows a woman into it. Destroy the idea that all women are controlling, horrible bridezillas. How disenchanting it is to see so many people shit all over the love between two people.
Respect your fucking wife. If you can’t do that, don’t get married.
