‘Look at That Sick Freak’: Caitlyn Jenner Faces Transphobic Taunts While Attending CPAC Conference in Dallas

How many times do people have to relearn the lesson? It doesn’t matter if they are a Republican, or even if they support Trump (to some degree), if one is not “one of them” (meaning like the other MAGAs) that person will be canceled? Which, on the Right, means hated?

We do not support Caitlyn Jenner’s politics, at all. Nor do we support anything said or done at CPAC. But in this one instance, our sympathies lie with Caitlyn and we despise CPAC at new levels, impossible as it sounds. The pattern will continue because it seems like “hatred” is CPAC only animating force. Like a drug, the hatred must increase or it gets stale, it is not as fulfilling.

Caitlyn got ran out of CPAC today for not being “one of them,” even though she is a political conservative, who has gotten more MAGA of late. Given that Caitlyn began life as an anatomical man, she is no longer welcome. What she believes and the content of her character couldn’t matter less to CPAC:

We really encourage you to watch the video provided below in the bottom tweet. Hearing that it happened is one thing, but watching how it happened, hearing the hatred dripping from the words, knowing that real people are behind those voices and Kaitlynn hears every one of them, it truly makes a much bigger impact.

But we have to ask ourselves, what is Caitlynn doing there, associating herself with these people? Yes, just because she’s transexual doesn’t mean she must be liberal. She has a mind of her own and is entitled to have her own political values. But how does she not see that the hatred they show her is the same type of hatred upon which they base all their policies? And nowadays, it seems that hating the left is their exclusive policy.

We cannot figure it out. We do know that our sympathies lie with her in this case and that she had to endure this type of abuse.

Peace, y’all
