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?

If someone wants to tell me they find my posts angry or unpleasant that's fine. People are welcome to be assertive about their own experiences.

How do you think your posts come across?

I can't say I care enough to answer

I disagree on the unpleasant and angry for pp, the posts are out there for all to read

As for your posts I’ll skip the invitation

I was going to say the same thing.

Sounds like my ex.

And my husband's abusive ex. Every time we stand up to her and say something she doesn't like she DARVOs with 'why are you so angry'?

Classic narcissism.

Seeing as the op has not deigned to provide any further clarity, I still don't really get the point of this thread, beyond 'you're wrong to support KJK because she is Trump adjacent and therefore a big meanie'.

I don't really understand the vigorous assertion that the board is right wing either.

Women's rights is a cross party issue.

If anything, radical feminism is more aligned with the left as prioritising the group over the individual.

Liberal feminism, which generally accepts that TWAW, seems more aligned with the right and individualism.

Don't get why it matters really, unless some posters think that painting regulars here as 'right wing ' is some kind of slur, and demonstrates how mean those GC women are ave that they shouldn't be listened to which seems to largely be the unspoken point ?

Why are you so angry?

So revealing

Yeah, it's done to discredit. It's like three degrees of separation. Posie retweeted someone who tweeted Trump, if you like Posie, you like Trump. Therefore everything you say is crap.

See also, why are you so angry, and calm down.

It's thin gruel. Wouldn't even do as wallpaper paste

Revealing of what?

I say "Why are you so angry?" to someone, therefore somehow I'm using a male tactic to shut down women, even though I'm a woman. It's done to discredit.

I'd just ignore it TBH. Last resort- if you can't play the ball, foul the player!

I think its been an interesting thread. KJKs mask is constantly slipping lower and the contortions some posters go to, to deny the obvious is quite fascinating to watch. The role of the Internet and "influencers" in shaping what people think is socially acceptable, the power of the "cult of personality" and the cognitive dissonance is all interesting to see.

Could you explain what you mean?

Of all people I hardly think KJK wears a mask. She wears her heart on her sleeve more like. She speaks in a forthright way making no apology for stating her views and hides nothing. I have no clue what you are referring to about posters contorting themselves to deny this.

The more people start threads to demonise her the more apparent it becomes that KJK is a real thorn in the side of MRAs. It's actually quite comical.

The BBC have just said nobody cares about the Conservatives plan to insert 'biological' into the act - well we do care and it's down to people like KJK - so hats off to her and I like Donald Trump - shoot me now

The BBC and centre left media are killing us on this

I don’t know if we can get anywhere while they keep denying women have a voice

This thread is absolutely not bullying. This crying persecution at every turn is straight out of the TRA playbook. Before it took a turn to being more personal this thread asked pertinent and important questions. I am wondering what KJK would have to do to dampen some posters enthusiasm for her.

Here is a question. Say KJK comes out and says "Trump for president", would that give posters pause for thought?

My worry is that the vast majority of the public are just not as versed in these issues as we are. They will hear snippets and have patchy understanding of the issues at heart. They will hear "be kiiinnndddd" and "it's all bigots funded by the far right".
If they then see KJK in a MAGA hat, what conclusions do you think they might draw?

I know this is a hypothetical, but with every action that can be interpreted as being supportive of Trump, she may as well get the red cap on.

I can't say what I want to as her fans will be itching for this to be pulled. All I will say is if you look into any allegations others claim are "bullying" or "smears" you'll most likely find evidence for it.

KJK has a clear eyed focus on the rights, dignity and safety of women and girls. If KJK donned a MAGA hat, I would conclude that she thinks Trump has better policies in this area. Policies are important. People who oppose KJK by using guilt by association, (faux) concern and admonitions to be kind are signalling that they oppose KJK's position. One could conclude that her critics have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

Here is a question. Say KJK comes out and says "Trump for president", would that give posters pause for thought?

Why would it? Since this is a UK board there are only a few American posters here. It's all academic for anyone other than US citizens. There aren't going to be many American women who are waiting for Posie Parker to tell them who to vote for. You think a MAGA hat is going to hypnotize us or something?

So, looks like the answer is no. Supporting Trump would not be a reason to doubt KJK. As long as Trump has policies that defines males as males for all intents and purposes, that is all that matters. Not reproductive rights, maternity rights etc.

This is where I struggle. For me intent and consistency matter. Having policies that reflect the importance of biological sex, but deny women access to contraception and abortion do not align with having 'a clear eyed focus on the rights, dignity and safety of women and girls". This is why I find her Trump flirtation so troubling.

It doesn't credit anyone with having much intelligence, thinking we need somebody to tell us how to vote!

Are you in the US?

There's alot of people on here who seem to think that Trump is a British politician or that KJK can influence the USA!

Gosh all that money wasted on advertising and bots. They should have just got a middle aged lady from the West Country in years ago to sway voters. Simples.

I think KJK thinks she can influence American politics, otherwise why the hell would she admonish our election choices and retweet commentary making fun of Biden's disability and retweet content that suggests Trump's trial was rigged?

Obviously, American women will vote who they want to vote for, but it's her hubris re: other country's politics, I feel, that turns some of us off the actual good she's also doing.

When I try to peak fellow lefty American women, I can point to JKRowling and what she's done and said because it's easy to show how ethical and caring she is because her convictions match her words. I won't send them anything about KJK because I don't want to risk alienating them from the cause.

Not sure I see anyone telling anyone else how to vote. But, whatever.

As I said for me, intents matter. KJK showing support for Trump makes me question her motivations. I simply cannot believe that anyone who supports Trump is motivated by protecting the rights of women and children. It just doesn't add up and it makes me very wary of her.
