When faced with criticism on sexism, double down on being excited about meeting a rapist.

    Men competing on a global stage, sorted by national identity, for the pride and satisfaction of elite economic interests => Normal

    Women Existing => Politics

    “People are so negative about things,” he continued. “I think everyone in that locker room knows how much we support them, how proud we are of them and we know the same way we feel about them, they feel about us.”

    I’m sure he believes that, but I doubt he’s talked to a single member of the women’s team to hear their opinions on the matter. I doubt he cares.

    It just goes to show the huge gender disconnect in this country. Trump is a white man’s president, and these white men can’t understand why everyone else is so mad at them. They are seriously lacking insight.

    And I’m saying this as a white man. Not all of us are on board with this, but I can’t seem to explain to some of my fellow white men why they need to make some changes to how they view things. Again, they lack insight and I don’t know how to get them to open their damn eyes. I’ve kinda just stopped trying, and I just don’t talk to them about it anymore.

    Edit: idk if it’s right to say Trump is a white man’s president, necessarily, because it’s not all white men and it’s not only white men, even if it is mostly white men. But, I do think it’s right to say that Trump is the president of people who have a certain attitude about manhood or masculinity. He’s the president for people who think they’re just inherently superior to everyone else. He’s the president for people who don’t care about anyone else. He’s the president for selfish, narcissistic people, and in this country a lot of white men are that way, unfortunately.

      We’re just going to see the head of state do a propaganda speech. Why is everyone being so political about it?

    Why would the women’s hockey team want to visit a rapist? Republican or Democrat, a rapist is a rapist. Getting chummy with a rapist like Donald J. Trump, friend of now deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, is just a really bad look.

    “Everything is so political,” he told the Daily Mail at a victory party in Miami.

      That’s what happens when the rejection of basic moral and empirical facts becomes a political platform. Everything becomes political.

      Like this: “my political platform is that 1+1=3” Now every scientific claim is political.

      “If you could see what we see from the inside, and the men and women sharing, you know, dorm rooms and halls and flex floors and the camaraderie and the synergy and the way the women cheered on the men and the way the men cheered on the women — that’s what it’s all about," she said. "And the other things they cannot control. They care about humanity. They care about unity and they care about the country.”

      Bullshit.

    Anyone who comes within arm’s reach of that man has the moral imperative to punch him. I’d like to see him get punched by some gold medal Olympic hockey players. I hope that’s why the men’s team accepted the invitation.

    Well at least we know who all the deplorables who support felons, rapists, and pedophiles are in our nation.

    Your enemy is easier to deal with when you know who they are.
