About today's Moore accuser . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

First off, I sincerely thank her for coming forward today.

Secondly, I am sorry that she had to endure what she endured and how she felt she could not make her story public until now.

Yet this woman says that she and her husband voted for Trump.

After Trump admitted he grabbed women by their pussies.

After Trump was accused by numerous women of being out of line with them.

After Trump admitted he walked in on naked teenagers in a beauty pageant he owned.




That's a bit of incongruity.

1. approx 30 million white women voted for trump, odds are at least 8 million of them were

molested or raped.

They are brainwashed.

2. Incongruity IS Trump.

Trump is incongruity. They are ALL brainwashed by their prejudice and xenophobia. It's their raison d'etre.

3. "prejudice and xenophobia" and they are happy to be uninformed.

4. Actually, it's not

Women who have been sexually abused often have difficulty recognizing when boundaries are violated. They normalize their experience. This is one of the reasons they are often victimized more than once.

5. Her statement was gripping and heartbreaking

6. Indeed it was

7. No more incongrous than

Me campaigning for Kerry - and remaining silent on the marriage discrimination amendment when I knocked on doors because I knew that many Kerry voters would be offended at my marriage and I might do more harm than good by raising the issue.

Or, more to the point, no more incongrous than me - a rape survivor - voting for Bill Clinton - when there were allegations of sexual harassment against him. (Clinton v. Jones)

Unfortunately, life is not a nice tidy package for women - and some otherwise good men are sexually aggressive, at a minimum, and predators at worst. While I disagree with Moore's accuser's support of Trump, and find him offensive for all sorts of reasons, I can understand that she voted for someone whose principles she otherwise supported in spite of his sexually aggressive behavior. Although we are political opposites, I have been forced to make the same choice.

9. This is an excellent answer and I hope everyone on this thread reads it.

8. She tolerates it happening to other people, I guess

[lunamagica]

10. I hope someone questions her about that

11. Statistically, about 1/3 of women have been assaulted sometime in their life

Which would mean that lots of women who have been molested or assaulted voted for Trump
