Louis CK still goes on comedy tours, Johnny Depp was forgiven by the vast majority of people, Bill Cosby got out of prison on a technicality, Cuomo is running for mayor of NYC, Trump is president for a second term, Jonathan Majors is being welcomed back into Hollywood, etc.

And this was WITH MeToo

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the trade policies and bellicose rhetoric have less to do with it than the uncertainty about whether some maga dipshit is maybe going to indefinitely detain you in the airport because he doesn’t like your kind.

Antivaxxers are trying to erase a six year old girl because she is the only child to die from this vaccine-preventable disease in >22 years. Six-year-olds can’t make medical decisions.

Trump's insane policies are already refueling inflation.
