What are some of the criteria that sexual predators use to pick their targets?
She's no perfect victim, that's for sure!!!!
A major problem with Trump and his followers is how they will ignore the massive, massive problems within their own ranks due to an overwhelming and crippling desire to either not give the opponent any ground or to simply own the opponent. No self-reflection allowed. No reason allowed. No common sense allowed, generally. Truth doesn't matter and values don't matter, only how each individual thought impacts relative position to the hated enemy.
Forget the right-wingers and look at the reality of the last 6 decades of Democratic male figureheads. Look at it dispassionately and objectively and try seriously to dismiss in your own (as) fair (as it can be) mind the laundry list of sexual abuse at their hands as a Russian Psy-Op. If that is how it shakes out in your head, then you're just the opposite side of the Qoin.
If dealing with the question of women sexually abused by powerful men in the Democratic Party creates discomfort, it's possible to just shut the fuck up. We can do that. You can do that. Juanita Broaddrick, etc... We can just NOT have a comment if we don't know how to square the circle of our alleged support for sexual abuse victims and how that can sometimes bite us in the ass politically because men of all political persuasions sometimes/often assault and rape women.
Tara Reade is a perfect test case for this. She told people of it at the time, and we know of that. Her mother called in to a national show to get advice about it. She has acted strangely and in an adversarial way towards the man she says assaulted her and the party that protects him. If you do not know, with perfect knowledge, that this is a lie she cooked up from the beginning with her KGB handler (who picked her for... uh... reasons?), what is the move?
She's a powerless woman with no impact on anything who might very well have been sexually assaulted by a powerful man whose party and its media apparatus has systematically torn apart (like Juanita Broaddrick and unnamed/untold dozens of others over the years). If we have within us a desire to keep kicking her, we should figure out where that desire comes from because it looks pretty fucking dark.
