The person I really don't understand- I mean I know she's a horrible person, but I still don't understand it- is Caitlyn Jenner. She's supporting a party that openly wants to erase her.
It's Wealth.
If you have more money than most people, you convince yourself that you are different and more important than other people. The way you are treated validates that notion.
So politically, you'll vote for people who protect your wealth rather than people who will protect your identity, because your wealth already protects you better than any anti-discrimination law could.
Money talks.
And bullshit walks.
I never thought about it that way but that makes perfect sense.
She is the typical Republican -"Oh, but I'm the exeption. Thats different."- type. She also speaks out publicly and loudly against trans women in women's sports and then turns around and plays a women's golf tournament.
I guess I can't fathom the level of cognitive dissonance it takes to vociferously get behind people who want you dead, but I guess these people existed too- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews
I’m glad you guys always come packing this link. Folks should know about this.
level of cognitive dissonance
it's doublethink. there is no "dissonance." they literally believe two completely contradictory things simultaneously and have no problem with it
Yeah. Cognitive dissonance is "the mental disturbance people feel when their beliefs and actions are inconsistent and contradictory". If you're happy with holding contradictory beliefs, that's doublethink.
Yeah but golf isn't a sport.
She has money. It's a total "rules for thee but not for me" situation
They’re going to find out, too late, that they’re not immune to bullets, windows, or poison and that their money can be seized by the ones who disappear them.
Yep. I'm absolutely terrified that I'll have to go into the closet again. I'm afraid my one homophobic and transphobic coworker would report me if being gay becomes straight up illegal. Only person I know personally who isn't cool with it.
It’s both better and worse than that. It’s extremely unlikely that being gay could become straight up illegal, but is it really any different if discrimination is ok, gay marriage and family benefits are outlawed, being gay is again a “security concern”, police harassment is ok, and people again become hostile?
