I'm not smart so I have two questions: Is this legal and am I paying for this?

From the responses to this tweet I've learned that the event on the South Lawn is a mostly legal political convention that I'm probably funding somehow.

Now I'm going to sit back and watch the show I'm paying for while my mentions explode into debates about the Hatch Act and yes, I deserve this.

The gaslighting that's going on is next level. Don't you dare shame people for wondering why last week protesting was killing grandma and today it's acceptable. This is an absolutely valid question. Kids lost months of schooling. Businesses were destroyed. Hospitals went under.

Mental health suffered. People lost their jobs and their homes. People died alone in hospitals or weren't allowed to be buried. And everyone was told it was because of "science." And good people did the right thing and now science doesn't fucking matter? Get the fuck out of here.

I will always support the right to protest, even in the midst of a pandemic, no matter who it is or what the cause. But the same people shaming everyone two weeks ago are now singing a completely different song and sorry--you don't get to say "when we do it, it's righteous."

I'm not GOP. I'm someone who can clearly see that when the DNC wanted to weaponize #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen they did and the minute the allegations are about their guy, suddenly that woman is a liar and we need to respect due process. It's the definition of a double standard.

As someone who's been sexually assaulted, I'm tired of feeling like a pawn in a game. We're victims when it's convenient. We're liars when it doesn't fit the narrative. The same people who will call out their political opponent will defend the exact same behavior in their guy.

Apply the standards consistently. And for fuck's sake, stop gleefully dunking on your political opponents over their hypocrisy around this. You're essentially expressing schadenfreude over sexual assault, and you're gross too because you don't give a shit about us either.

I really appreciate the voices of reason, the writers who have been balancing the many, many factors playing out right now. It's easy to get on a podium and bang a drum that's meant to divide people. There's no money in nuance--but we need it now more than ever before.

We are all in this together, not just as Americans, but as humans. Every country is experiencing this and although it's easier to gravitate to a "side" because it might feel safe, the truth is, the majority of us are in fear about our health, our loved ones & our livelihoods.

I don't know a single person who isn't balancing all of these fears, some are more present than others. If you're a nurse in NYC your view of this is vastly different than a small business owner in good health. All of these worries have merit. Everyone deserves our compassion.
