Caitlyn Jenner suggests dumping homeless

[tulipsandroses]

People in a field.

She is such despicable person. It’s a good thing she has no shot at winning. When people show you who they are, believe them.

We have to provide some place for those people to go, whether it’s an open field out in some place, or if you notice at the veteran’s facility,” she suggested. “There’s these big open fields and a lot of places there.”

1. No wonder Jenner's a tRump supporter with beliefs like that

[RockRaven]

2. CA Repukes appear to have decided homelessness is a strategically useful angle of attack

against our Governor in this recall election. They're all talking about it. That's not a coincidence.

Jenner's contribution is unsurprisingly, considering the source, both vapid and depraved.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Is it the phenomenon in general, or homeless PEOPLE? Just wondering (nt)

[RockRaven]

7. It's definitely a "we've got plans to make sure there aren't all these homeless people around" not

"we've got a plan to fulfill the moral imperative of everyone having a home" sort of thing. Not many are as... politically unskilled... as Jenner when describing what to do.

And even though some claim to have plans, none of the ones I've heard haven't been done before/aren't already being done. The rhetorical approach seems mostly to be about "this is still a big problem, he hasn't fixed it yet."

Really they launched the recall thing trying to take advantage of COVID (the high deaths/cases, the lock downs, and the economic impact) and the results of the rapid/effective vaccine rollout undercut their main argument, so now they are scrambling for something else to justify it besides pure partisan politics, which is all that it is really about.

We should not be having a recall election. I'm all for democracy and voter-driven political processes, but the threshold for getting shit onto the ballot (regular ballot initiatives, constitutional amendment initiatives, recalls) is way too fucking low. Anyone with enough money can get enough petition signatures for ANYTHING to get onto the ballot. Literally anything, it just takes enough man hours of bothering people to sign your stupid petition -- which just means enough money.

8. What you described would've been my exact guess :)

I'll be in the Bay for 4 days here very shortly, first trip home since Dec 2019.

Can't WAIT!

Too bad I can't vote there.

OR CAN I ... MUHAHAHAHAHA!?!

[luckone]

9. +Honestly from the little quips in the link it even sounds like she was OK with homeless when

it was concentrated downtown but now they’re up in Beverly Hills and other of her rich friend areas and they just don’t want to see that up close.
She lets you know with her comments she has a problem with the homeless being places .
This is not about homelessness being a problem .

[marble falls]

3. Just shocks me how shallow and uneducated Jenner is. She advocates against her own interests ...

... for people who would not tolerate her in their 4th Reich.

[luckone]

10. Doesn't realize they would eventually just take all her stuff and $ and send her to camp as the

extremes she helped perpetuate get worse and bite back

[sheshe2]

5. Caitlyn is trans.

And here she is advocating homeless people should be dumped in a field. I wonder how many of those homeless are trans? Not that it matters she is rich and advocating that the poor be dumped in a field.

Seriously? She is running to govern the state of CA and calling for human beings in her state to be tossed away.

Way to win an election Cait.

[moonscape]

12. She's not trying to win, just bored looking

for another attention venue.

[JI7]

18. Just like Kanye West

remember they are from the same family of attention seekers.

[vercetti2021]

15. She may be trans

But we don't want her. She sold us out long ago

[Eugene]

21. Sincere or not, Jenner is trying to be a Trump clone. She is campaigning as a disruptor.

Pander to the MAGA base? Absolutely. Ape Trump's sadopopulism? No problem.

If she didn't copy from the Trump playbook, she would stand for nothing.

Sadly, belonging to a minority group doesn't automatically give someone empathy or tolerance.

[luckone]

6. Like some dystopian novel where those in charge put people out to pasture and leave them there

The rest of the country has to realize all areas have problems and are helped out or subsidized
One of California’s problems is the huge number of homeless due to pleasant weather
I would like to see homeless solutions addressed more on a national platform . We can all help states with this issue just like any disaster we all as a nation pitch in for with larger federal funding for homeless
It’s not just “California’s bad problem “ it’s our nation’s imo.
I live in Chicago + we have growing homeless problems here too just not the numbers like CA

Don’t let it get worse and yes, ideas needed to help , but she is

[Initech]

11. Going full Marie Antoinette are we?

[Yavin4]

13. Just because someone is a member of an oppressed group, that does not mean that they will empathize

with people from other oppressed groups. Some do not even empathize with people within their own oppressed group.

[ansible]

14. That's what other states already do to California, we're the dumping ground

I live near an Amtrak station and it's awful, there's a constant stream of homeless people who trash the place. They're not from California, but they're getting free tickets to get here.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

16. I've volunteered at a local homeless shelter for about a decade now.

I work (with a particular faith group) in the kitchen. Cooking meals and feeding our clients.

I've learned a lot. One is that a lot of homeless are clearly mentally ill. Others are simply down on their luck and just need a little bit of help.

I've been fairly poor at several points in my life, but never close to being homeless. But having been poor, I more or less get it. There for but the grace of some deity, go I. When I was a sophomore in high school I had a Saturday baby sitting job. Most Saturdays, when the mom was driving me home, I'd request we'd stop at the grocery store on the way so I could buy groceries. She was astonished that I'd spend the money that way. I could not imagine spending it on myself when we needed the groceries.

People who have never been on the edge have no idea.

[Laffy Kat]

17. Perhaps she needs to go live in an open field herself.

She's an asshole.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

19. A person with no empathy

does not deserve all the attention this person and her family have brought on themselves.

Reality TV has been a disaster for our society as a whole (mostly because they edit who these people really are )

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. That was my impression of her...

... when she was Bruce Jenner on that Kardashians show years ago. An authoritarian-type who acted like he didn't really want to be around them.

That stupid show was often on the break room TV at work during my lunch, so I watched it more than I wanted back then.

[hlthe2b]

24. I could not agree more about the very negative impact of "Reality" TV.

[tenderfoot]

22. I had no idea that Capitalism could produce such a vast amount of poverty

eom

[hlthe2b]

23. As disgusting as this is, don't you know the Kardashian clan are fuming at what she is doing to

"their brand?" No end of heartburn there, I'd bet.

[whistler162]

25. Does she live in a big house with a lot of lawn

aka fields around it. If so California should go for it!

[obamanut2012]

26. Caitlyn Jenner spent most of her life as a rich, lauded white man

A storied athlete, steeped in privilege. It is obvious this life gave her little empathy.

[MissMillie]

27. Hey Caitlyn, why not put a few of them up in your house.

I'm sure there's plenty of room.

[milestogo]

28. Does she know how many trans people are homeless?

[elias7]

29. R's believe homelessness is self-induced, so not a societal problem to solve

They feel a social safety net rewards laziness, self-indulgence and drug abuse, and they truly see this as a blame the victim problem. They actually believe that putting them in a field will get them to see the light, to get off their lazy asses and get a job. Just as Covid relief benefits are disincentivizing employment opportunities.

There is no interest in the truth, no interest in helping out, no interest in community. These are nihilists who think going to church on Sunday and thumping their bible and waving their flags make them good Christians and patriots, when they are too close minded to see they are neither.

[XanaDUer2]

30. Fortunately,

her campaign will go down in an embarrassing flame of loserdom.
