@GrandmaKristine@FakeGovernorCox Interesting. So your solution is to take away free agency and force everyone to abstain? Who, then, would determine if a man is 'ready to provide'? What about women? How do we determine if a woman is ready to be a mother? What happens if the situation changes after the fact?
@GrandmaKristine@FakeGovernorCox Your phrasing implicates that women don't have a choice in the matter, which sounds like rape to me. I think most people would agree, that should be punished, with or without 'abortion culture'.
Trump is at 4 trillion US debt in a little over a year. He is on track to hit 50 trillion before he leaves office which I stated he would do last suumer. He had 7.8 trillion his first term. That means he would have just about 23 trillion of the 50 trillion in debt, which is 46 percent of our nations debt in 8 years in office. When you see how rapidly the net worth of billionaires has escalated during his time in office, including his and his families, you can only conclude that we have been robbed. Our kids future destroyed and not a single piece of new infrastructure. America is being bankrupted on purpose.
His ex-wife committed suicide after she found his diary where he wrote in very graphic detail about 37 different affairs. He also rated his sexual encounters with a numerical scale in the journal. He’s not a doctor or scientist. Sure, he should be in charge of women’s health.
We’ve attended many Trump rallies. Tonight’s was different.
As independent media, we’ve attended many Trump/MAGA rallies over the years. Typically, these events are predictable—energized, but generally orderly. We approach attendees, offer interviews, and often have pleasant, even insightful, conversations. Sometimes people decline, and we move on. We rarely feel unsafe or threatened.
But tonight’s rally at Macomb Community College was different.
We arrived later than usual, knowing Trump would be arriving late himself. The crowd outside was rowdier than usual, and something felt off. People were visibly drunk and high—generally not atmosphere we’ve come to expect. We were even offered drugs, something we had never experienced before.
Things took a darker turn when one of our team members was sexually harassed by a man who grabbed her and tried to forcibly kiss her. This crossed a line we couldn’t ignore. The energy had shifted. Feeling unsafe, we made the decision to leave early, along with hundreds of others who, like us, saw Trump start his speech and then headed for the exits.
This experience was a stark contrast to the rallies we’ve covered in the past, where we’ve always felt we could do our job without fear. Tonight was different, and if this is a sign of what’s to come, it’s deeply concerning. We’ll continue to cover these events because it’s our job, but what happened tonight in Macomb County was not acceptable. When you cultivate a culture that marginalizes women, subjugates them and when your rhetoric shows a clear disrespect we can’t be too surprised that supporters would act this way.
We still processing the events of the night and we are home safe now. Thank you for listening
