Show of hands if anyone’s surprised:

Of Course Caitlyn Jenner Is Defending Dave Chappelle

Everyone remember when Caitlyn from transitioned and she was every where. All the magazines, the tv shows, she was declared the face of the Trans movement and a role model for Trans. Havnt heard anyone use those phrases to describe her in a long time.

Of Course Caitlyn Jenner Is Defending Dave Chappelle

Not really knowing much about Caitlyn Jenner etc , but this isn't the 1st we have seen this. A week or 2 ago Flame Monroe also backed Dave Chappelle as I posted even when the interviewer was pushing for something as a sound bite (which Monroe wouldn't do) . So its not like this is some united stance that everyone is gonna back Dave or be against him. Its more a situation where some will support him and some won't.

We do see that rhetoric l every four years that the electoral college is a sham or that weighted systems need to be used or that the the Senate is a rigged system,
right up to the invoking voter suppression that is dependent on the assumption of a latent majority.

If people complain about something every four years, meaning that they complain about it during both Republican and Democratic administrations, then it's likely that they do in fact have a good point.

People say birds are dinos, so they aren't even extinct.

Dinosaurs tasted like chicken!

Isn’t “pedant” just a euphemism for “asshole”?

Nah, it's more akin to finding the one or two that will support him, just like how the republicans have a *couple* of African American members in congress, they are nothing more than shields against claims of bigotry that the people they are defending are openly making.

Especially not after she revealed herself as being a hardcore Trumper. That makes me wonder what her politics were like before she transitioned, but then, I doubt anyone noticed, or cared back when she was part of the dumpster fire that was Keeping Up With The Kartrashians.

Except this isn't Congress and in a vast community of people...a lot aren't gonna have same political or beliefs like this. Its like America...not everyone is a liberal and not everyone is a conservative.

Catlin Jenner supported Trump. Nuff said.

Burned every shred of credibility she had going to TV to champion Trump as the trans ally candidate in 2016, and defending him at every turn when it turned out he very obviously wasn't.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

As crazy as it sounds Trump did have support in the LGBT community beyond Jenner. There was gay men and women I knew who literally were mad at some of us for being against Trump for years.

One would spend time for a couple years deflecting the bad stuff Donald did by calling us "haters" and how lucky Melania was to have such a great man like Trump.

Their paltry tax breaks were more important than their rights.

To say nothing of her lack of connection to the larger LGBT community. How often does he even comment on trans issues? I've only heard her remark that we have to protect girls sports from trans people. Other than that it's been stuff about her rich friends leaving CA cuz there's too many homeless people there.

If she had come out as trans before the 1976 Olympics, would she have been allowed to compete in the Decathlon? Probably not. How about the Heptathlon? Probably not either. But I guess it's easy for her to say now years after retiring from competitive athletics.

Or, in some cases, their lives, given the hideous attacks on transwomen.
