re: #176 A Mom Anon

I’ve probably done that waving at people in the distance too at some point. Again, not defending her, cannot at all STAND her. Now, if someone could show a pattern of behavior where she’s done this more than a couple of times, I’d gladly retract what I said.

I just think what she had to say was far worse than a blip on camera. This is what happens all the time, optics are all that gets the focus and then the message is diluted. This RNC hot mess is, quite frankly, terrifying and picking on these types of moments while ignoring what this evil little shit has to say is a mistake. The message without that outstretched arm is more important, IMO. Again, YMMV

Understood. What I saw of her speech was pretty slimy. And her sarcasm grates after about 3 seconds. Some people do sarcasm well. Ingraham just comes off as relentlessly mean - which we knew already from her history, when she and Dinesh D’Souza used their college newspaper to out gay students.

But I’m looking at this convention, and this party, as a whole. Every single one of them is way too comfortable with the trappings of fascism. And what they’re implying is as important a message as what they’re actually saying, IMO.
