The fact y’all went this hard on her and she’s now at risk of losing some gig? Lol and y’all wonder why Trump won the election. Ok fine by me continue behaving like this, next election celebs will just secretly vote red from the trauma you caused them over some instagram likes, if they haven’t already. Choose your battles wisely babes because it cost us the war this time. 

LOL anyways

Yes, the queers are at fault that some people align with the fash, we are the source of the trauma, you got that exactly right

Anyway, if I squinted really hard I could see the hat thing as a genuine mistake, but this 

is WAY less ambiguous - there's no explaining this away as 'oh she simply didn't know'  

It's a shame 

Claiming to be coming from a place of love, and striving to unite people falls flat when you support people working explicitly to disrupt unity and put entire communities in jeopardy

That's not what it's about though. This is about disingenuous "activism". A harmless Nicole Scherzinger comment, really? Where's the outrage about actual fascism and where's the commitment to doing something about that?

Online performance activism is garbage, incl. among queers. People log off after trying to cancel someone and think they've done something. Cue the resulting complacency about real life political challenges. It's a complete and utter waste of time, not to mention that it embodies exactly the kind of delusional self-righteousness that the left is becoming known far + draws people to the far right.

She would explain it the same way though "I believe in free speech, the ending of forever wars and protection of children's health".

Clearly she does not understand, and I'd say the vast majority of Trump voters genuinely don't understand, that she voted for "disrupting unity and putting entire communities in jeopardy". Telling these people to "rot" and calling them fascism sympathizers is obviously counterproductive.

Is she delusional and misinformed? Probably. Do we now need to ruin every Republican voter's career and forbid them from ever communicating anything related to love and unity because they are clearly monsters who can't understand those concept anyway unlike us? Pls no, that is masturbatory madness.

That's not an apology 

[Oriane 22,549]

That could have been satire if the hat's message was anything that is against MAGA's values. But nothing screams more conservative than religion, and even though there are some good people among Christians, it's dumb to make a comment like this, knowing how thin the line is to conservatives using religion to justify all the orrible things happening right now.

Queer people should never express displeasure with someone's behaviour, regardless of how harmful it is, lest someone gets traumatised by it and becomes a fascist 

Anyway, take your own que and do something productive - noone is framing this as activism, we are allowed to vent, especially since a lot of the time we are recovering from some kind of trauma brought upon by the people Nicole apparently sees no problems with...

I can't stand this kind of nagging - who do you think you're preaching to? I bet none of the people commenting in this thread even bothered leaving a message on Nicole's socials - do you think she has an account on here and deeply cares what a dozen queer folks think about this? 

At least venting your grievance is cathartic, all you're doing is scolding people for something inconsequential - people go to the far right because we disgusts them, and celebrities go to the far right because they either get embroiled in some kind of SA scandal or realise there's more money to be made by pandering to people who have a deep hatred of queer folks... They do not go to the far right because someone in a forums was not very nice

This is not at all accurate.

Also, that far right analysis strikes me as absurdly naive. Anyway, you are right. Trying to discuss something here is absolutely unproductive.

Y'all are so... mean? I called this when I first read it, it seemed obvious to me that she felt this hat was a sarcastic but clever plea to redirect the dividing political convo to unifying faith.

The projecting and gleeful punishment is seriously something else.

A sarcastic but clever plea to avoid politics posted by a rapist Trump supporter who found faith the second his crimes were made public.

And there's the other MAGA posts she's been caught liking.

Like let's be real with ourselves here.

How can anyone in their right mind think that Trump is the kind of guy to want free speech in the 1st place. I open any social media app and all I see is extreme right propaganda.

So true!

This low tolerance for differing views is why it went so badly for the dems. The swarming of hate is not a good look, even if the other side is idiotic.
