She describes herself as a “proud Republican.” Wat.

Just because she was sexually harassed by one doesn’t mean her politics have to change.

I mean her politics are pro misogyny by a party led by a serial rapist so ostensibly she supports the sort of behavior she’s complaining about.

Same as with millions of other people in this country. She is no different by virtue of the fact that a shitbag sexually harassed her.

The only thing that (sometimes) causes the politics of Republicans to change is directly experiencing what their policies support and promote.

See all the Republicans rejecting Trump now when anyone with a brain could see how awful and dangerous he was in the 90s, all those that flipped on LGBTQ+ issues because they had a gay or trans child, those that demonize welfare until their district/state falls on hard times, etc.

I think it’s fair to expect someone who has experienced sexual harassment to be disillusioned by a party that is trying to get a convicted rapist to be President.

I’m expressing sardonic surprise that she doesn’t like when the consequences of her own politics are applied to herself.
