re: #285 rhuarc

How is that even possible? I noticed it right away. I event posted on FB asking, kind of rhetorically, if you were Hillary would you be afraid to walk over to Trump’s side of the stage because it would cause your back to be turned. I said I wouldn’t turn my back on Trump at all.

I heard Dean say it on MSNBC while I was driving around this morning. His basic, and I think valid, point is that most men don’t have to worry about being stalked or attacked, so they don’t necessarily see it. It’s one of those things where if you’ve never experienced a particular threat (or you’re in a position where you can counter the threat), you’re less inclined to see actions as threatening. For example: the difference in the way white people and African Americans view interacting with police.

I found Trump’s actions really weird last night, and because I had the comments here open picked up on the threatening nature, but without the commenters here I might have just thought it was really fucking weird that he wouldn’t just sit the fuck down when it wasn’t his turn.
