Using the walker on the magazine cover is not deliberately ableist.
And at some point people are going to have to learn discernment and how to view creative media within the context it’s presented.
The walker on the cover is to the point of an elderly person no longer being at full faculty.
It doesn’t matter what the intent is, the image is still ableist. Conversations about whether or not it was “deliberate” only serves to derail the conversation around the ableism of linking a mobility aide to unfitness for leadership.
Yet somehow all the conversations about whether or not Trump is fit for office somehow don't manage to derail whether the GOP needs a new candidate? Nope, not buying what you're trying. We disabled folks deserve to be heard; to take up space. I decide when I'm done talking about it, thanks.
