It’s not just weight.
The other day there was a toot that was railing against Rudy. It was fine, and I agreed with maybe 90% of it.
Then there was a bit about how people around the world “wouldn’t respect him (alcoholic, cross-dressing, remarried)” and I was like come ON! Completely unnecessary, and took digs at people already going through enough.
Drafted several replies, but ended up not sending any. Didn’t feel like getting into a possible argument, and didn’t feel that articulate.
@flowers I don’t understand why people can’t see the difference between cutting an egotistic narcissistic liar piece of shit down by exposing his lies, and regular people who might be overweight. Come on.
Are you suggesting that we don’t push back at lies because other people who may weigh 300 pounds might get their feelings hurt? Come on.
"... people can’t see the difference between cutting a ... piece of shit down by exposing his lies, and regular people who might be overweight."
I'm trying to parse the intent here
@cwwilkie @flowers whenever I call him a monster for tearing families apart at the border he just gets a boner :/
The most moral way to hurt his feelings is just repeating over and over again how unpopular he is and how he's hated. Maybe attack his supporters? calling them low class would be most effective because he's awful. Say his tacky taste is why all his businesses fail. Style which no one who CAN afford it likes. It's why he attracts such trash people who can't even save him.
Loser brand
@flowers Just like we say it's not the crime, it's the cover up. It's not the weight, it's the lying about the weight. He lied about his height, too.
It's the obvious lying. The vanity, the narcissism.
No one thinks John Goodman or John Candy are bad because they're fat.
I'm 6' 1" #265, btw.
I'd also add: any physical trait you're savaging Trump for having, plenty of perfectly lovely people share too.
Get a fucking grip.
@flowers I feel this too, it's like as soon as someone does something bad it suddenly becomes free game to say whatever they want about them. It happens with famous trans people, like the suddenly don't deserve their name and pronouns after committing a crime
And as a fat trans guy I feel both of these XD
