Joyce Vance: “This is a five-alarm fire. We know what the reaction would be if Joe #Biden tweeted a photo of a bound and gagged Donald #Trump in the trunk of an electric car. Why does Donald Trump get more leeway, especially with his past history? He only continues to get it because our institutions—the courts, the Republican party—let him take it.”

We Need to Talk About This

Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior. It’s not just a shrug of the shoulders and a resigned sigh of, “What are you going to do?” Far too often, people resignedly accept Trump’s behavior because they believe there’s no alternative. The zeitgeist is: We can’t make him stop, can we?

Honestly I think the conversations that need to be happening are between anyone still thinking this crap is macho and funny and anyone who still socializes with them in any way whatsoever. Cut these people off. Don't let them think this is funny or macho or a cute joke. Just walk away from them. And if you live with them, get out.

We need to cut off the toxic masculinity and any support for it at all. It's gotta stop.

@GottaLaff Nope, they don't, that's the real deal. We need to push this shit back in the dark corners where it belongs.And too many are unwilling to tell their "macho" types to can it already.

We don't have to raise or support toxic men in our society.
