Jenner voted for Trump
Aw, swell, just what we need.
Caitlyn Jenner is using her voice to speak out for transgender rights.
The activist and former Olympian, 70, took the stage at the Women’s March in Los Angeles on Saturday and declared her desire to change the direction the country is taking.
Oh, at the Women’s March. A man who won medals at the Olympics and killed a woman with his car “took the stage” at the Women’s March, because anything for women is always improved by having a man take over. Always.
Dressed in a white blazer, lavender skirt and heels, Jenner shared her delight to be attending her very first Women’s March.
If you report on a woman you have to say what she’s wearing. It’s only courteous.
“Together as women, trans women and cis[gender] women, we have the power to influence our communities, our families, our friends and colleagues, and turn this country around!” she told the crowd, Deadline reported.
No. He’s not a woman and we’re not “together as women” with him. By all means help turn the country around, but get out of women’s spaces and marches.
Though she supported President Donald Trump in the 2016 election, Jenner has since said she was wrong to advocate for him, based on his treatment of transgender people.
Yeah never mind everyone else.
Jenner is an asshole, and calling himself a woman doesn’t make him one tiny bit less so.
He also supported Cruz before Trump knowing full well his position on trans anything. STFU Bruce…
To be precise, I believe Jenner killed the woman with someone else’s car (Jenner hit the car that hit the car with the woman in it).
Voting for Trump in 2016 was bad. But shouldn’t we celebrate people learning from their mistakes?
As opposed to being given the stage… /petty
But yes, “based on his treatment of transgender people” is a massive tell for an insulated narcissist.
Skeletor:
“…(Jenner hit the car that hit the car with the woman in it).”
Having just checked Jenner’s wiki page, your summary is not correct (Jenner hit the victim’s car directly, which veered off and suffered an additional impact with a third car)… but I don’t think it makes a difference which. Even if your summary was correct, I don’t see that it makes a difference, nor would it make Ophelia’s wording (“killed a woman with his car”) inaccurate. Bruce’s driving caused the accident, which caused the fatality.
“Voting for Trump in 2016 was bad. But shouldn’t we celebrate people learning from their mistakes?”
Celebrate? It’s good that Jenner saw the error of endorsing Trump, but celebrate?? No. Plus, Jenner’s wiki page still lists him as Republican, so he still sides with the party of rich white straight men.
Maybe Jenner considered Trump’s position (or lack thereof) on trans issues to be acceptable. But having Pence as his VP should have been a red flag.
Slightly off topic, I know, but at the time the crash Jenner was driving an SUV which, in my opinion, is enough to earn anyone the mantle of assholishness.
Yeah, when the only reason given, at a Women’s March, for rejecting Trump is Trump’s treatment of trans people, I don’t think I’d say Jenner has learned from his mistakes.
Re #5, the broad off-topic slam of everyone who drives an SUV was uncalled for. My wife and I own two SUVs, one small and one mid-sized; they are useful vehicles for our needs, and get very good gas mileage. I’m sorry that this makes us assholes in your book.
What @sackbut said. I drive an SUV too. I also drive conservatively, which makes a big difference. I get 35mpg. I don’t think that’s too shabby given it’s not a hybrid.
Oh and fuck Jenner. Self-centered bastard.
It’s seems I failed to adequately signal the hyperbolic nature of my comment. To Sackbut, Claire and any other SUV owners here, my apologies – I really didn’t mean to suggest that every SUV owner is an asshole.
Let me put my I comment into context. I’m watching my country burn and the coal-fondling arsehole politicians running the place refuse anything more than fuck all. And then I look out on the street and something like 30% of the vehicles on the street are SUVs and I start to understand why. Ten years ago SUVs were relatively niche and I’m not buying that a significant proportion of the car owning population, within a few years, acquired a need for a larger vehicle. So I’m being absolutely serious when I say we need to make SUV ownership socially embarrassing. And if you’re a responsible SUV owner with a good reason for your vehicle choice that seem unfair and you’ll almost certainly be right. Maybe you could start # NotAllSuvOwners. (I’m being hyperbolic again – please don’t take that literally).
So I’ll say what I should have in the first place, not all SUV owners are assholes but someone who drives a Cadillac Escalade like Jenner almost certainly is.
I remember when preening assholes didn’t make it very far in society, now it’s THE most important personal requirement for fame (political success, internet glory, etc.) It’s curious why they get so much attention, all I can figure is that people are so numbed out by the onslaught of high impact media over the decades, that we need to be repulsed now? The dregs.
I don’t think it’s SUV’s anymore, they make small ones that are perfectly economical now. What it is, is the people who have much bigger and more ostentatious (or more conspicuous) vehicles than they need, are most certainly preening assholes. Tesla for instance, why get a Prius when you can be a much more successful preening asshole in a Tesla? Of course I’m generalizing, but it does seem to be a trend.
One major problem with SUVs – even the ones that are small for SUVs, which doesn’t make them small for cars – is that they tend to come out the winners in crashes, so they create a pressure for others to buy them just to survive potential crashes. It’s another tragedy of the commons thing.
The auto manufacturers are discontinuing traditional cars (sedans, etc.) on a big scale lately in favor of SUV/crossover vehicles, which they are selling more of, which proves the point I suppose. I think better driving is the solution, vehicle size aside, driving skill is at an all time low that I’ve witnessed. Being distracted or in a big entitled hurry is poor driving, no matter what the vehicle from motorcycles to bigrigs. Apologies for being so off topic, but it seems like driving in a hurry against the flow of traffic is seen as skillful, it’s not, it’s a lack of skill. Being able to drive whilst doing some inane BS on your phone is seen as multitasking or some other skillful activity, it’s not, it’s a lack of driving skill. A lot of drivers are just too stupid or careless (or both) to understand this.
Maybe gender confusion or political confusion is the very source of the distraction!
(he said, attempting to not be so off topic…)
Skeletor @ 2
In all cases? Of course not. Jenner wasn’t a child in 2016. There were a billion good reasons not to vote for Trump in 2016, and Jenner ignored them all. No I’m not going to celebrate the fact that he now says that wasn’t a brilliant move. Not least, I’m not going to ignore the fact that he voted for the guy who brags about grabbing women by the pussy and then shrugs it off as “locker room talk.” Jenner doesn’t give a shit about women.
Side note: if Jenner has learned from his mistakes and is now getting busy with making things right, has he returned the Olympic medals that he won while competing as a man? Because he has long maintained that he’s “felt like a woman” his entire life, including while winning those medals.
