I’m tired of liberals pretending that making fun of PWD is Trump-exclusive, or that it’s a unique level of horrible rather than something that happens all of the damned time.

Trump is vicious and awful, but this is not the trump card liberals think it is.

This.

Also the person he mocked is not made of glass. And has no doubt been similarly mocked by people on the left.

Also a lot of the people doing this are flat out posting “lol trump is a crazy person”, which directly contributes to the fact half of police shooting victims are disabled. 

Like if you are posting about how we have to be testing for mental illness to weed out dangerous people, you are doing something worse then “mocking a disabled reporter”, you are promoting something that directly kills us.

Also like, holy shit, WHO CARES about that when trump is making cuts to programs that will kill people? Wow trump was rude to a guy, needs dozens of news stories. I see stuff about medicaid cuts that will hit everyone, but a lot of other disabled targeted stuff no one is bothering to talk about but I see “trump mocks disabled reporter” constantly.

People are shaming trump for one of the LEAST BAD things he has done for disabled people then patting themselves on the back for being so progressive. It’s performative outrage at it’s finest and is practically a distraction from the way worse stuff he is doing. Nah lets reduce a disabled person who was just doing his fucking job into a “gotcha” moment I’m sure that’s the more helpful choice.
