Over the last few days, whenever I've seen that naked Trump statue posted, I've dropped in and left a comment along the lines of "I'm really not down with body shaming, even of that scumbag."

A statement of my own view, or so I thought. It's been interesting to see how many people will vehemently tell me I'm wrong to feel that way, and work very ( Read more... )

I hate those statues too. The joke behind them is ultimately that it is contemptible that a politician not have a big cock and balls. And that idea is precisely the problem.

It's also satire insofar as Trump claims those characteristics in a manner that says he thinks having them is somehow important for running a country.
I think it's a case of mud-wrestling with a pig, as the old sayings goes.

I don't like Trump at all. But, I agree it wasn't done right.

I have avoided seeing this thing (I didn't even know what you were talking about) and I am going to do my best to keep it that way. I do appreciate the warning, thank you.

The way the US does elections is really weird to us. All these polemics and shaming and false accusations. And it's all so personal. When they did that to Obama last time round I unfriended and blocked a man whom I've known for decades. He just would stop sending emails with racist jokes and false accusations about Obama. I don't think I mind it being done to Trump that much because he's like that himself but you are totally right. What does that say about the people who do that? They are just as bad as Drumpf.

The worst is that they did that so badly the last time to Obama and he won. I hopehopehope the current victim of shaming isn't tomorrow's president of the United States. *fingers crossed*
