I mean, seriously
Clyde McGrady actually spent 32 paragraphs on this, which reads more like something that would have been in a hardcore lefty site, like Think Progress or The Daily Kos, but, then, most of the people who used to write for those blogs/sites have moved to the Credentialed Media and the younger crowd just goes to work for outlets like the Times these days. From the link
In the days since a federal agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, Republican officials and conservative commentators have called the 37-year-old white woman “very violent,” a “deranged lunatic woman” and a “domestic terrorist.”
Some right-wing influencers have latched onto a different word — or rather an acronym: Ms. Good, they have said, was AWFUL.
“An AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her,” the conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media. “Progressive whites are turning violent. ICE agents have the right to defend themselves.”
From a co-host on an AM radio show in Orlando, Pierce Outlaw, to an army of internet trolls, the acronym has taken off. Mr. Outlaw called AWFULs “the scourge of polite society.” The term popped up on the internet Wiktionary this month as AWFL, without the “U.”
Beyond labels and name-calling, the death of Ms. Good and the protests and anger in its wake have sparked a response from many on the right that is particularly targeted at white women in the streets, even though men have been just as involved. A majority of college-educated women, including white women, have long been skeptical of President Trump’s Make America Great Again movement, and that skepticism has been growing, according to exit polls after the 2024 election. And for months now, such women are attracting the ire of the president’s supporters.
Nah, the Right has been labeling white liberal women as a danger for years. Memes go back to easily the 1st Trump term. Of course, since Clyde is of an age where everything has to be seen in term of social justice
But for the broader core of Mr. Trump’s followers, the description of white, urban women as violent radicals obstructing mass deportations seems to reflect older anxieties around race, gender and immigration among the white, non-college educated men who make up the core of Mr. Trump’s movement and perceive their place in society slipping, said Dr. Shauna Shames, a political scientist at Rutgers and co-editor of the book “The Right Women: Republican Party Activists, Candidates, and Legislators.”
Nah, we just see them as batshit crazy. Women who seem to go for every new Virtue Signal issue even when it is not good for them. Does support biological men with mental illness taking women’s places in sports, business, etc, being in women’s bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms help women? Supporting illegal aliens to the point they put themselves in mortal danger seem like a good idea? How about shilling for anti-women Islam? Shaving their heads because of TDS? The list keeps going on and on.
The term AWFUL is not the first derisive name targeting white women. People across the political spectrum once gleefully targeted so-called Karens, a term meant to denigrate women — usually white and middle-aged — caught using their privilege to bend the world in their direction.
Does Clyde understand that the term Karen was initiated by Liberals, regarding a lady who called the cops on a group of black folks who were illegally cooking in a park? Seriously, the NY Times is more concerned about this than, say, the people protesting in Iran.
Real women!
MAGA47 Bitches!
Bwaha! Lol!
Real women!
MAGA47 Bitches!
Bwaha! Lol!
3rd time’s the charm?
MAGA47 Bitches!
At a time in which the left denigrates normal people as MAGAts and white supremacists and Zionists and Christian nationalists, and more than a few other things, I’m sure that AWFL isn’t too, too bad.
MAGAts, white supremacists and christian nationalists are normal?
Mr Dana himself defends, even advocates, for the separation of the “races”, i.e., under white, christian domination, of course.
America has tried to squelch white supremacy and white nationalism for over a century!
Anyway, back to Renee Good, the young woman murdered by one of trump’s goons, Jonathan Ross, now in hiding. How interesting that the reich has invented a new epithet to describe her, as if to defend her murder.
Ross’s family and friends describe him as a “hardcore conservative Christian and MAGA supporter”. This is NOT to imply that all “hardcore conservatie christian and MAGA supporters” are murderous garbage.
A majority of Americans do not approve of trump’s troopers occupying U.S. cities as, if trump permits the mid-term Congressional election, MAGA will find out.
BTW, what are the grand principles of MAGAtism? Trump First?
A grown ass man who claims that a man can get pregnant really has no room to judge if others are “normal” ot not.
Jeez, Rimjob. Lolgfy.
Looks to me like just another thing activist “journalists” need to talk about so that they can get their 500 words to the editor on time and get paid. I couldn’t care less what the new fashionable term on Twitter is.
What exactly would be the derisive word out of affluent, white, female, urban liberal?
Nazi, Gestapo, are ok-the above not so much. Got it
What would Jl call masked, heavily-armed for combat, loud, male, federal agents going door-to-door and school-to-school searching for Hispanic kids to kidnap!?
Would you meet them at your door with your AR-15 in hand?
BTW. Release the Epstein files, Blondi. You’re not above the law!!
$imjob going on another of his rhetorical crazes.
31% of women approve of Trump’s job performance, while 64% disapprove.
46% of men approve and 51% disapprove of Trump’s job performance. Woof! Woof!!
Since donnie killed Ms Good, his approval among males has increased!!! Da boyz love seeing them mouthy bitches put in their place!!
But then, some 90% of murderers are male. 90%!! Some 80% of murderers use a firearm to “off their enemy”.
Will the Rimjob rants ever end?
