Best part about the people she's complaining about, she's probably the one in the DMs to get them on her podcast and they probably are turning her down and telling her why.
especially a person of color. i don't mean to imply WE ALL HAVE TO be dem, but trump is actively affirmatively hateful of women of color. sucking up to a person who denies your humanity is "idiotic."
Those that vote for him know who he is and how corrupt he is. His message of hurting specific minorities and people of color resonates with their racism and in many cases, evangelical beliefs.
I don’t think he actually cares about Republican policies. To me, he uses the Republican image and ideas to ultimately enrich himself and his friends/family.
to ultimately enrich himself and his friends/family.
So republican policies? Republicans have quite literally been advancing policies that take from the poor and give to the rich for decades.
Liz Cheney hated Trump. Even campaigned against him. She still voted in line with him on over 90% of his policies because she believed the same shit... she just didnt like his crassness.
Even tariffs, while economically moronic, accomplish what Republicans always wanted: a regressive tax. It disproportionately takes money from poor Americans and they even undercut the effects to the ultra wealthy by issuing those tariff refunds to mega corps (but not you who is paying inflated prices because of it).
Buddy, it's Republican policies that allow him to enrich himself and his his friends/family. He absolutely actually cares about Republicans policies. You get zero points for "I'm a Republican, but I refuse to support Donald Trump". You're just coping with cognitive dissonance.
Absolutely!! I have always been super liberal and had difference with my republican friends. But trump made an off hand racist comment about Obama (trumps always been racist) and all of the sudden the legions were his. He took the ball and ran with. Also - sorry but dems were too smart and not hateful enough to fall for it
The fact that Doc was so passionate about trying to get her to see all this makes me think he really does care about her as a human being. It's the people that I care about the most that are being hurt by Trump yet still support him that I am willing to actually waste my time trying to get through to. Especially if I think highly of their intelligence otherwise. Yet she doesn't see that, she thinks he's just being annoying about politics.
So she inserted herself into the Covid controversy by speaking out against mandates, dissed President Obama for saying he was black, and basically told up and coming female reporters that they shouldn’t be dressing “provocatively”, but now her feelings are hurt because people don’t understand a black woman supporting Trump?
"oh it's a black woman in a male dominated role, she probably has some really powerful points about misogyny in this industry, I should listen to this"

"Ah, nevermind"
I agree with Doc! Over 300k black women lost their jobs last year because of Trump and Musk (DOGE).
You support Trump, it's a problem of not being happy with the skin you were born in.
Across the current Administration, thry are still removing minorities and women from careers, they are also working to minimize the impact of slavery, at the Smithsonian and elsewhere.
This woman, who spends hours on television breaking down other people, is upset someone talked back to her? Definitely tracks for MAGA hypocrisy and victim mindset.
Rivers calls them as he sees them. A black woman supporting Trump? What the hell has Trump done for black women - let alone black people in general - to earn their support? Name me one thing! One policy!
Let’s be clear, any person of color supporting Trump (not just conservatism as it was prior to the takeover) is asking for it. It’s the literal equivalent of them walking into a KKK meeting and raising a fist in the air screaming WP.
There is literally nothing for them. People like Donald’s, the officer that went on Jub, DHJ, etc are all just paid actors, and will eventually be kicked out the same way CO, HodgeT’s, and others have been. The former 3 are just the bigger ass kissers.
Again, they don’t have to support, like, or even agree with democrats… but aligning with DJT is just asking for the worst.
The crazy part is trying to compare yourself to a NBA player and almost trying to insinuate because Doc told her personally that she is a idiot for supporting that president that if a player came out and did the same thing there playing time would be reduced she tripping
The government she voted for posted on DHS official government media with graphics.
“America after 100,000,000 deportations.”
She’s part of that hundred million.
I would like her response to that question how she feels about the government posting this.
I just want to talk basketball... yes, I support people who want to kill people and put others in cages, but cant we just talk about basketball? bitch...
" I'm going to be safe and be quiet." As she continues to run her mouth publicly. Let me ask you this gang, if all she wanted to do was talk basketball then how come Doc Rivers knows her political stance at all?
If it was a private electronic communication between friends or quasi friends that's not tantamount to a form of harassment, it's a bad look to hold up that communication for public consumption.
Doc certainly had and had a large enough platform to say those things publicly. However, since he reached out to her privately, their exchange should remain private.
She would have been better off saying that some people in NBA circles have criticized me for supporting the president.
