Trump Asked Point Blank To Define 'Woman'—Then He Answers

A clock is right twice a day? 

Dems push fringe issues and have strange ideologies in their party. 

Republicans do the same but it’s basically shutting down democracy. 

Pick your poison. 1 upping in the online comments over a trans person who wants to fit into society even if these changes are bizarre OR losing your democracy and living under Christian autocracy.

It’s wild what some of you infer just from me pointing out that even Trump is human and can show a flicker of genuine sympathy. At no point did I use that to justify Republican politics or redeem him as a person. I just thought it was a small, oddly human moment - worth noting, nothing more.

But somehow, you twist that into me being complicit with everything he says or does. As if I’m not perfectly aware that he’s a con man. He is. That’s not the point.

The point is: he’s still human. And I find it genuinely disturbing that even acknowledging that is too much for some of you.


“Did you ever say Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained and entwined together, all things are in love; if ever you wanted one moment twice, if ever you said: ‘You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!’ then you wanted everything to return!” - Friedrich Nietzsche

Idk I’m not charmed by it 🤷‍♂️ 

I’m sure there were plenty of Nazis who were personable and you could sit down with over a cup of coffee and have a laugh with, they probably liked playing sports like me and we could bond over some things. It’s not really surprising to me since I know dangerous people still are human.

Fair enough.

I think Trump haters know they’d have to dissapoint those they relate to who validate their feelings and perceptions if they had to acknowledge Trump’s humanity.

To change my perspective and values, I had to lose a few friends, a potential date, and feel the distance I had between liberal women I dated because of the cultural and political divide.

It usually starts that way. You have to lose social connections, or see potential ones drift away in order to re-evualate your perceptions and values. We are mammals, after all.

There used to be a time where you wouldn't discuss politics enough to hate your neighbors 

Divide and conquer

The guy asking the question did a great job appealing to Trumps narcissistic supply needs from the start-

this is how you get colored responses out of Trump

In my opinion, the strong political division took off when the media excitedly and selectively emphasized Donald’s “good people on both sides” statement in 2017 about the Unite the Right rally/riot in Charlottesville, VA (where I live). The problem was never Donald, it was political correctness and “social justice.”
