she is just a fake, remember the hot sauce? she does and says what is necessary to get ahead. she is a "team player" for who knows what.
such as "Pokemon go to the polls"
🤦
that one was an absolute banger
On the other side I was also looking for "bad stuff trump said/did", aka racism and sexism
I have a very seemingly close-minded liberal English teacher who will not shut up about feminism and #resist, but I got her to talk about media coverage of Trump
Surprisingly, you'll be hard pressed to find much. The man's been in the media for 40 years. If there was anything real, you'd have found out by now.
But it's mostly non-story stuff, or out of context, or fake
And I try to make the case that, while I cannot be certain, I haven't seen real instances where he does say something unequivocally racist or sexist
I googled tonight and all I could find were *personal* attacks, insults, etc.
Did you know he hired the first female civil engineer?
Nothing that implies "X is better than Y", "X should be legislated different than Y"
(/message)
Ah?
Yes
Even if that's a good thing that's also something I'd throw in the irrelevancy pile tbh
If a man's sexist, why would you do that? lol
If we're trying to establish him as racist or sexist or something, we need something *general*
Well that is true
Also, *who cares?*
But one could say "if he wasn't sexist, why would he talk about the pussy-grabbing like that?"
what would you consider general? i dont get that
What about it is untrue?
Well, being able to say "America has a racist president" "America has a sexist president" and being technically correct
I'd say is important
My president is not my moral arbiter
are you looking for information in order to debate your teacher?
ha
(Don't do that)
No, but it's a marker of history and social progress. And ultimately, that social progress is something that will have an impact on the way you interact with others. So, knowing the reality of our government is pretty important
Honestly, I don't know
I don't really care to convince her
She's not a great person
Who are you to decide social progress?
In what way do you mean that?
I'm not "deciding social progress"
Someone has to define it
It's a subjective term
Oh right
I mean it as in that, we need to know the society we live in is one where racism and sexism and, in general, discrimination, is "passable", "accepted", "fought", etc. And to assess that, you need to look at different levels: popular activism, the way of the market, the government, etc.
