Remember the 1st debate and how abusive Trump was? Trump gave men permission to be as abusive as he was. He abused women. He normalized it. He was accused of rape, but shrugged it off. He and his GOP cohort abused and targeted WOC. AOC was a prime target, yet it was normalized.

I put this thread📌 up so we don't forget the past 4yrs and what happened--how we were collectively gaslighted into believing that we were over-reacting and being hyperbolic when that was not the case at all. Trump tried to turn us into a nation of cynical, empathy-less monsters.
So if you are one of the people who claims to be a Democrat or progressive and you are spewing GOP talking points about VAW, slither on over to that side where you belong. Every time VAW is dismissed it makes it harder for the next woman to disclose and perpetuates rape culture.
VAW = Violence Against Women
The most common violent crimes according to FBI DOJ stats are also crimes perpetrated predominantly against women: domestic violence, sexual assault, rape. So don't dismiss these crimes or minimize their impact on women victims (like AOC).
