(6,007 posts)pretty sure the Oval Office is currently sporting gold curtains, and that...thing...doesn't look real. Too slim for one thing and the coiffure is somewhat more normal looking than usual. Madame Toussard's perhaps?

noticing it or judging you on it! We only make fun of fat people if theyre BAD and fat, which doesnt affect you at all!!
CatWoman
(79,293 posts)perhaps you should communicate your concerns to the Insulter-in-Chief?

(79,293 posts)i'm insulting Trump.
don't like it?
find another thread to dumpster dive in.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)The only difference is that it's Trump. Other people look like him. Saying he looks disgusting and is worthy of ridicule for how he looks is hurtful to others.
Why are you so dedicated to holding onto that rhetoric?
CatWoman
(79,293 posts)i'm insulting myself as well

(569 posts)Some of us are just built that way. Even as a thin teenager, I could see that I was "fleshy" there & would eventually develop whatever-that-thing-is-called, just like my grandmother. Now that I'm aging, it's showing.
I hate Trump as much as anybody here, but that kind of insult hurts.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)Anti-fat bigotry is really one of the last that is still "acceptable."
lunatica
(53,410 posts)I was a blonde in my youth yet never bought into the dumb blonde meme nor did I believe for a second that as a woman I was mentally inferior to a man or that I belonged in the kitchen.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)It doesn't undo the systemic oppression you faced as a woman or as a fat person, though.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)And one way to fight oppression is to develop a thick skin and a sharp tongue and to learn to defend yourself. If someone insults me they pay a price. If someone insults Trump I think he deserves it.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)Sure, he deserves all sorts of insults. But I think we can do better than insulting him for traits that all people share, and many can't help.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)Every single one. Youre just spitting in the wind now.

(53,410 posts)Calling him a racist is stating a fact. So is calling him a misogynist or just about any other insult.
Why? Because theyre all facts.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)that anti-fat rhetoric is justified even if it hurts other people would never say Trump's "as dumb as a (racial slur)" because (a) they don't use racial slurs and (b) using racial slurs hurts other people.
Anti-fat rhetoric is bigoted, and using it against people we don't like contributes to the oppression of fat people who are our friends and allies.
catbyte
(34,336 posts)a man who dehumanizes and values women based solely on their looks and "fuckability," a man who had the unmitigated gall to say in public that "Sadly, Heidi Klum is no longer a 10" deserves to be publicly shamed for HIS looks. It's called giving him a taste of his own medicine--or poison.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)subjected to all their lives against Trump, because we know that that even though these exact same terms have been used against other DUers, they shouldn't take it personally, because we're using the terms against Trump? I'm wondering if you can walk me through how using anti-fat rhetoric against people we don't like helps fat people we do like, who have also been targets of that rhetoric.
Which is more likely -- that Trump reads DU and gives a shit, or that fat DUers have to wonder what other DUers would be thinking about them if they were to meet in real life?
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,254 posts)He is susceptible to such insults and should be 'punched' there until he stops.
WhiskeyGrinder
(22,308 posts)But plenty of our friends and allies are, for sure.
