In reply to the discussion: Wow. Bravenak (DU member) going at it with Sarandon! [View all]Ninsianna
(1,349 posts)into a discussion that she was not included in, thereby signalling her followers to attack her on the nastiest, misogynistic, racial terms.
She was having a conversation with her followers on a thread that Sarandon was not included in, about the truly moronic celebrity who was giddily telling gullible fools that the parties were equivalent, and that it would be wonderful if Trump was elected because it would "bring on the revolution". A sentiment that deserves scorn and a speaker, who was ensconced in her privilege, status and wealth, that earned it honestly.
Said privileged white lady condesecended to accept an apology that was not actually offered, and in doing so exposed someone who is just an average woman, to the harassment and abuse of her followers. Something she was well aware would occur. The tweets her minions unleashed show exactly how cyberbullying happens, and yes, the target of this venom, who is not a celebrity, not a rich, entitled, and awfully bitter white lady who spread a whole lot of propaganda with her status and encouraged a Stein voter that gave us Trump is indeed a victim.
She's also a fellow DUer, so that's a pretty callous disregard for the safety of one of our community. Who did not do what you falsely claim.
Sarandon stuck her entitled nose into a thread that didn't include her and which did express what many Americans feel about about her. She and her minions, as well as the minions of the other equally repulsive public figure who unleashed her minions to attack another woman (and it's always women who they attack, isn't it?) did the same.
Seems to be habit with these people who cheered on a deadly incompetent idiot, encouraged people to stay at home, or vote for the Putin endorsed candidates, and told people that voting Trump would be a good thing.
While we're sitting here watching people die, dealing with the shitshow that affects us all, but not her own entitled self, the sentiment Bravenak expressed is echoed by millions. Abusing her with racist, misogynistic attacks questioning her mental health, really speaks loudly about those who attack her and those who echo rape culture by stating that "she got what she deserved".
So yeah, she was a victim, she's not just weak enough to sit back and take it. And Sarandon and her minions and anyone who defends this crap certainly can take Bravenak's advice.
