Thread Name: BS: Trump is a one trick pony
Subject: RE: BS: Trump is a one trick pony
I feel certain that the outing of misbehaving public figures is a response to the current Teflon status Trump is enjoying as an accused sexual predator. He admitted to it in his own words and STILL got elected. The Critical Mass is here - enough people willing to speak up that careers are faltering, if not crumbling. The female gaze has been on Trump since before the election, but it is the frank disbelief that enough people turned out for him (whether or not they were duped by inflammatory and bogus news bots) that has encouraged credible voices to speak up about their own abusers from years past. Voices of women (and men) who know that in the past these accusations would have put their own careers on the skids. Weinstein, Louis CK, Kevin Spacey, now the Alabama politician Roy Moore - are getting what they had coming for a long time. These accusations cross party lines - it is about much more than politics. And Trump's turn will come soon. So far Trump's attorneys have scared off the woman who he assaulted when she was 13. But she will have a lot of support when she finally comes forward.
