At first I didn’t get the pushback because sometimes I’m very dense.

At least you get it now! 💜

I’m glad I know when to keep my mouth shut and listen and appreciate there’s enough thoughtful chatter to educate me

💜💜💜💜💜

Shit! I wish I knew when to keep my mouth shut. It's wide open.

the article itself was.. fine i guess, it was kinda lacklustre but nothing awful. releasing the full interview showing how little pushback actually happened and feeding the fascists plenty of clips though, that was downright dangerous

i like how she thinks releasing the full thing means they can't clip it out of context?

no don’t you know every right winger that watches the version of the video that ben shapiro or whoever edits together is going to then immediately sit down and watch an hour long video of a lady wearing a mask outside and consider the finer points she’s making

I'm so fucking dumb, you're right, i forgot that the right wing exclusively operates in good faith

famously they’re very confined to only the truth

Actually they will be like: mask lady is right! And they will march to Walgreens and get a Covid vax and and then off to their local Dem HQ to get a ridin’ with Biden bumper sticker.

It seems like the whole thing would have probably been handled better if she had trans people around her she could get feedback from.

she’s working very hard rn to ensure that that doesn’t happen

its mind blowing how many people think this is a “good thing” disgusting even

I’ve been hearing all over the internet that I, sigh, don’t understand “how things work,” but then I did some muting so I guess I’ll never know

I got through 20 minutes of the video before I couldn’t go on without hurting someone, and it is fucked. up. that this piece of shit got more followers after this.

Yep

And I understand it is not a journalist’s place in an interview to issue corrections to absolutely bonkers shit, but WOW, it certainly hurt to have Raichik spouting off inflammatory propaganda without so much as a, “That’s not true.”

Looking at it through a progressive lens, Raichik comes off as a willfully ignorant dipshit, sure, but Lorenz comes off as a pushover. Now, I wonder how that perception changes when you’re set up to like Raichik? She comes off as calm and unfazed, and Lorenz as a weakling.

Oh yickes
