KJK supports Trump

[NefertitiV]

After the Trump verdict today, KJK retweeted three supportive tweets to her timeline, including one from US ex-Fox host Megyn Kelly that says "Guilty on all counts. The country is disgraced. Alvin Bragg should be disbarred. They will rue the day they released this lawfare to corrupt a presidential election."

Another tweet makes fun of President Biden's stutter.

This is someone currently up for election herself. Given her recent remarks about barring rentals to all trans people, and the fact she has received funding from US conservative political groups, does this concern you?

I'm not American.
Criticising Trump =/= liking Biden. It is possible to not like either, especially in the UK where we have no say and no real skin in the game.

Trump is anti-democratic, populist bordering on fascist in my opinion. I wouldn't vote for any politician who said they supported him. It would be a vote changing issue for me.

Some reading for the posters about to be outraged at me mentioning the F word:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism

Some commentators have rejected the populist designation for Trumpism and view it instead as part of a trend towards a new form of fascism or neo-fascism, with some referring to it as explicitly fascist and others as authoritarian and illiberal. [60][20][62][note 3] Others have more mildly identified it as a specific light version of fascism in the United States.[66][31]

I'm wondering what kjk's rationale here is?

THIS! 👏

Yes, we see it.

I don't really 'get' this as a move and honestly worry that it may backfire.

Fair enough.
But other reasonable options are available.

Which is why kjk supporting Trump is not a denouncable offense of the type the OP implies.

Yes to all this from @Brooks11

I know you'll all not give a shit or accuse me of lying but I am just going to be really honest here. I am deeply GC and quite openly so to the point it has caused me issues at work. I used to find this board a real source of inspiration and courage.

I now find it embarrassing. The twisting and distancing and whataboutery on this thread is reminiscent of TRA tactics. A lot of you (not all of course) are coming off as really unable to apply any critical thinking.

Again, don't bother telling me I am trying to silence women or am a secret man.

Think what you like but I cannot believe that on a feminist board there are posters lining up to minimise the extreme misogyny Trump has repeatedly shown.

Are we talking three retweets ? It is not really a hanging crime.

has she tweeted about if she’s still standing in Kemptown (posh) and Woodinhdean (not posh)

That's a huge strawman.
Read OPs post again. It is nothing to do with "gender critical" and just about KJK. She asked a question, which you could answer without getting aerated about "guilt by association".

I personally have not seen this but thanks for the scolding for the wrongthink.

😂😂
She most definitely has hidden the fact she's right wing, in fact her supporters make a lot of how she "used to be a labour member". Go and read some of the older KJK threads and see the response posters got for saying she was right wing.

But also this is a woman who puts herself in danger to let women speak. Maybe she’s going tooooo farrrrrrrr but what do you want us to do OP ? Shout ‘burn her burn her’?

Well @SapphosRock it seemed to me that not one single FWR regular has said anything nice about Trump.

A lot of new looking US posters have started some kind of weird US bunfight... that I can scarcely follow

My god is this going?

It does sounds a bit like ‘well she turned me into a newt’

Perfect. Why not run against one of the most feminist MPs who is an outspoken supporter of women?

KJK is an absolute knob if this is true.

A lot of GC women used to be Labour Party members. I wonder why a lot of GC women no longer are?? She's not hiding anything and she's not exactly on her own in this regard.

Not seen anyone do this.

Trump behaves appallingly towards women personally.
Like many presidents have done/do.
It's gross.

But when looking at policies rather than persoanl attitudes is he really that much worse than others? So much worse no women 'who centres women' should ever support him? And must be donounced by fellow women?

How is he so much worse?

We know how.
He's right wing and so is she.

My point is previously I have been told very vociferously that KJK Is Not Right Wing and that I am smearing her for saying she is.
I think that many other posters have had a similar experience.

It's not news or a surprise to me she's right wing. Its just nice the gaslighting about it has stopped.

Really? You think feminists hate Trump because he's right wing??

Interestingly polarised position there....

Maybe it wasn't gaslighting maybe as the left have become more batshit crazy over the past few years she's found herself now within the group labelled right wing and is prepared to own it.

It's happened to a lot of us.

This is the kind of post that I think caused OP to start the thread.
"Not one singular FWR regular has said anything nice about Trump" on a board where there are frequent name changes, is a bit like "I've never seen KJK say anything Trump adjacent".
It's probably not correct and just makes people want to prove the point when it turns out they were in fact right.

Trump's a weird kind of republican. Not religious, not socially conservative, not what you'd call a family man, can't shoot, can't grill, prefers burgers to steak.

I think 'feminists' have more reason to hate any left wing candiate at the moment than they do Trump and yet they hate Trump more.

But there are many reasons to hate Trump. It's the special hate he gets that's revealing.

Maybe it wasn’t ‘gaslighting’

I mean she seems to say how she feels so why bother with pretending on that

Also I get the sense you think KJK owes you something. It’s a bit much
