Petie Estie 5,707 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 1) I don't really have any issues with this photoshoot. 2) It's not the same as if this happened to Obama because Obama wasn't threatening anyone's humanity. 3) It's not a real death threat and she stated as such when it came out.

Morphine Prince 109,667 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Conservatives did this with Obama dummies where he was being lynched. This is symbolic and not a real threat unlike the racists who were threatening Obama's life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmal96 2,928 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Honestly I'm not a fan of this (and I loathe trump) Murder and violence is something that should not be celebrated or promoted And before you say "Well some right-wingers lynched and set fire to dummies of Obama" Yes I know that happened and it was deplorable. Do you really want to stoop to the same level as backwoods redneck racists? Both demonstrations are distasteful (Yes I think the Obama stuff is even worse because it's racially motivated, but I still think the Trump one is bad too) It's just going to add more fuel to the false Conservative narrative about liberals. Fox News and co. are going to eat this up, and me being a liberal will definitely not defend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't really have much of an issue with the shoot itself. I agree it's in poor taste but...meh. I'm just annoyed 'cause I know exactly what the outcome will be. As if the Trumps and conservatives needed more fuel for their victim complex And of course it's not a real death threat. She's a comedian that's politically cynical, not an assassin Spoiler And also, they're forgetting all the people that were lynching/hanging Obama dolls so "what if we had done this with Obama" means literally nothing because they did Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely see where you're coming from The atoms in my body are no longer 99% empty space with the other 1% being the particles themselves. It's a pretty even split between empty space and particles, the rest is filled with a thick, black ooze that represents my hatred for this man.

Fusel 1,111 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I despise Trump but this is the wrong way to do it. We call ISIS barbaric for putting this kind of imagery in the world, we should not do the same. It doesn't matter if it's real or not, these depictions lead to brutalization. If you want to keep ELECTING your country's leaders in the next decades, stop lusting after non-democratic wet dreams about coups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 49,376 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Condemning violence I understand, but why is everyone so harsh on liberal people for using the same political means as their opponents. Republicans got away with it, forgiven and forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aura Veil 2,395 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This shock art is nothing compared to the near psychotic rage republicans displayed towards Obama. This is a comedian holding a prop. The method and reasoning behind this is to simply get a reaction out of people. It worked. Compared to the lynching threats during Obama's stay at the white house, this is nothing. Worry about espionage, not shock art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody hooker 6,445 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I hate Trump as much as the next person, but this is a bit disturbing This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
