I know Roseanne’s real life politics are dogshit ugly, but my fellow liberals need to calm down over the show. Context matters. The character might be a Trumphead, but she’s also incredibly supportive of her gender-fluid grandson and doesn’t bat an eye at her black granddaughter.

Dude. I love you to bits and pieces, but you gotta back up on this. Seriously. It's basically "racial exceptionalism" only the inverse meaning "my {person] is the exception." It's way of pointing at the ones you love as the exceptions (read: shields) that prove you are tolerant

while unilaterally backing up larger choices that make for systemic oppression of everyone else just like them. This is nothing new. Even the most dark hearted people do it because of what it gives them the appearance of good intent. Milo did it constantly Trump can parade

Caitlyn Jenner, then turn around and vote to kick trans people out of the army. The using of people like this as shields for hate IS just as dogshit ugly, and not recognizing it only empowers the dogshit ugliness. And I'm not going to calm down about it.

And again, love ya love ya love ya. But this criticism is 100% not misplaced. It's pointing out something super insidious.
