Critics on the right ridiculed her
They will always pretend that those who see what they are doing and respond appropriately are overreacting.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, these are the same assholes that gaslit right up until the middle of 2022 that Roe was not going to be overturned, calm down, liberals.
Then, after that happened, they gaslit about how it would still be fine in free states.
And then there is all the gaslighting they do for everything else - pretending to act all hurt when called racists, misogynists, homophobes, and driving this country toward fascism (bleating stuff about "Godwin's Law", even as they vote for donvict FFS).
We fucking see them. If anything, people are not reacting enough...
They were bleating about Godwin's Law even after Elon Musk backed the German neo-Nazi party and did two Nazi salutes in front of the world's cameras.
Goodwin says go ahead.
From the Godwin's Law Wikipedia article
In 2023, Godwin published an opinion in The Washington Post stating "Yes, it's okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don't let me stop you." In the article, Godwin says "But when people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy."
before we enter the twilight of American democracy.
Twilight already started. Look around at the anti-woke crowd, urging us to go back to sleep. Shhh, calm now, strong daddy government will totally keep us safe. If you think you hear anything scary going on, don't worry - you're just imagining it.
They have to keep up the dehumanizing in order to never see their own ugliness.
My daughter did that too.
As did many of my friends. I'm thankful I'm already sterile
Under RFK Jr as DHS Secretary maybe mumps will make a comeback and sterilize a ton of right-wingers.
Measles is hitting Texas, so they're extra susceptible to things after.
I'm also getting sterilized because of Trump. A hysterectomy specifically.
I have endometriosis and the only thing keeping it relatively at bay is birth control. My specialist decided that a hysterectomy is "medically necessary" at this point for the "debilitating pain" that I'm in. My specialist knows how to play the insurance game.
My endometriosis isn't back with a vengeance yet. My doctor just knows that getting this procedure done is vital because of how things are going in regards to reproductive rights.
If I start having periods again and my endometriosis goes untreated, I won't be able to work at all. The pain and blood loss is too great for me to function. My doctor knows this and expedited the surgery as much as she could. It's not until July, but apparently there's been a lot of women "needing" hysterectomies lately, which is why my doctor is booking so far out. I hope every person who needs a hysterectomy can get the treatment they need and deserve.
Something tells me you needed the hysterectomy with or without Trump.
It's not completely medically necessary yet, imo. But I should have been able to get one years ago when I decided my uterus needed to go. Men can get vasectomies with no problems but God forbid a woman yeet her baby maker.
I had a friend many years ago that had it and she was miserable. It sounds excruciating. I hope the best for the recovery. It can't be easy.
Thank you.
Fuck we are failing our citizens! Our friends!
I don’t live in the USA so I can’t say anything about it, but I can say that sterilization is the best thing in the world if you are sure you don’t want kids, or don’t want anymore kids. Done 10y ago and I’m still wating for the regrets 😹😹
My wife had a hysterectomy a few weeks ago. Even though she already had her tubes removed and the hysterectomy was for other reasons, she said this felt like a good "eff you" to Trump
Got a vasectomy last year, and this sentiment was at the top of my list of reasons why.
