The problem with using "trope" is that it's a cliche that's turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy... so by implication, true. Whatever happened to "stereotype"?

Hard to imagine an elected government more out of touch with the people they are supposed to represent.

After that photo went viral he was shot in the leg with an Israeli exploding bullet, on purpose as that's what happens after an iconic photo. Sorry don't know how to thread tweets on a phone, too old

I turned on MSNBC and caught a bit of Stoyer talking about the "tropes" he's so concerned about. They showed Bernie's comments and asked Hoyer to respond. He stood there dissembling while the host just let him go off unchallenged.

They don't ever give examples of the "tropes," presumably because of how obviously not problematic what Omar said was. Infuriating how useless MSNBC is.

I never wanna hear the word "trope" again after this ridiculous saga is over. Although its be great to throw back in their face when the call antiwar folks (insert Dictator) apologists. That's a f*cking trope that needs to challenged EVERY SINGLE TIME!
-
I want one of the few brave congresspeople to ask the neocons to be pressed to define dictator.

Has Steny Hoyer done anything useful, ever, in his 492 years in the back room pulling strings for the Dems?

Misleading with “pat” words like ‘trope’ doesn’t cut it. There is nothing metaphorical or figurative about swearing allegiance to a foreign government and being afraid to speak against undo pressure from an outside government.
