I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

The Heritage Foundation doesn't just write policy: They commit fraud and manufacture evidence used by Republicans in Congress, in courts, briefs to SCOTUS, and by right-wing media. The scam is sloppy, and they often leave their names on it.👇

@ladyingraytn @RacheLaneMartin @cmclymer I choose to get my news directly from the source organizations, not curated by an algorithm designed to feed me what it thinks I want to see and engage with according to my biases. To each their own.
@ladyingraytn @RacheLaneMartin @cmclymer No, I don't follow tabloids. I haven't heard stories about him nor this claim of him being used as some kind of example of masculinity. From a cursory look around, you appear to have gotten some details wrong, but I can acknowledge I have no interest in voting for him. 👍
@Chuck_Jennings @RacheLaneMartin @cmclymer Nope. "Not all men" is implied, and to constantly have to feel the need to say it takes away from the reality of the majority and downplays the actual problem.
@RacheLaneMartin @cmclymer If you think k the phrase "toxic masculinity" implies that all forms of masculinity are toxic, you personally have trouble with nuance.
Toxic masculinity is a single type subset of the overall umbrella that is masculinity, there are both toxic and non-toxic forms and expressions.
@Axle83868527 @Anderson1337117 @_celia_bedelia_ Quote: "Police your sex a bit more closely."
Intent: Hate-driven generalization of an entire sex.
Quote: "When did I state I hate all women?"
Conclusion: Negative generalization of an entire sex without attempt at nuance demonstrates clear negative feelings toward "all women."
@bentist@hankgreen Admit it's pretty weird to be so obsessed with other peoples' personal lives that they command the government come into your bedroom to approve what gender of legal adult you're allowed to love and be attracted to. Admit it's pretty weird to be obsessed with strangers' genitals.
@Wakbag314@allyonthego@hankgreen@KenOAdair It's really obvious how painfully insecure you are that you think effeminate is some kind of insult. Imagine being afraid of people with emotional maturity.
