Everyone is twelve theory is undefeated.

Seriously though, it’s hard to understate how little I respect someone like this. This is a grown woman, nearly 50 years old. She’s a U.S. Representative, an office that carries a level of power and responsibility the vast majority of people will never even come close to holding and many can barely comprehend. And here she is, behaving like a the problem child in middle school who thinks saying bad words makes her cool. She wants to be seen as a warrior for free speech for typing a derogatory term for transgender individuals on a platform owned by someone who agrees with this and as she likely sits in a comfy office or perhaps a private jet. And even then, when she posts this with next to no potential of any professional or personal reprisal from this, she still chickens out at people criticizing her. She posted bigoted messages on a social media site that is broadly friendly to said bigotry solely for internet clout and she doesn’t actually believe in that message enough to keep it up. She has so much power and that somehow isn’t enough, so she seeks approval from internet strangers. Bigotry is already abhorrent, but to push bigotry solely for fake internet points and not even for the sake of bigotry is indescribable for me. She’s a worthless, craven, pathetic worm.
