How we refer to people reflects what we think of them, and what we think of them can affect in very terrible ways how we treat them.
On November 3, Sunny Hostin, a cohost on The View, said, “White suburban women voting for Republicans are like roaches voting for the bug spray Raid.” Her hostility supposedly stemmed from Republican opposition to abortion. A co-panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out her previous opposition to abortion based on her Catholic faith, but Hostin was not deterred. On the one hand, this is a silly spat on a silly show. On the other hand, it matters a great deal when someone with a national platform likens people to insects.
Hostin’s language is similar to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, in 2018, referring to Jews as termites. Of course, Farrakhan is a hateful man who’s made a living from hate. He stopped attending college after three years and briefly made a living as a Calypso singer known as “Calypso Gene” before embracing his calling. He has generously expressed hatred of whites, Jews, and homosexuals. Hostin, however, has a different resume. She is a lawyer and has been in the media for a long time, including as a senior legal analyst for ABC News.
Two very different people but both doing something extremely dangerous, which is to dehumanize people. David Livingstone Smith has dedicated an entire book to this problem: Less Than Human: Why We Demean, Enslave, and Exterminate Others. Smith argues that it is important to define and describe dehumanization because it is what opens the door to cruelty and genocide: “During the Holocaust, Nazis referred to Jews as rats. African Hutus involved in the Rwanda genocide called Tutsis cockroaches. Slave owners throughout history considered slaves subhuman animals.”

Rwanda X Bosnia = USA’s future.
Fascists typically do the same....
Leave it to Sunny Hostile to miss the truth of her own nasty metaphor. Who is it that wants to terminate millions of unborn fetuses like inconvenient roaches? Hint — it isn’t Republicans.
Unfortunately the View influences the single, college educated liberal women voting block. According to some reports, their pro abortion vote made a difference. Stopped clock, the fat commie Mike Moore called it. Watch out for Karens with machetes when the balloon goes up.
The sluts will end up childless, with boxed wine and 11 cats.
...and student loans...!!!!!
I think many voted for the ‘vote buy’ from Biden that they’d be able to travel more and eat out more with a reduced and/or paid off student loan.
Funny how evidently it made them happy to receive and educate themselves easily (without a side job) when in college and now that they are making money it hamstrings their life.
American leftists don’t know which bathroom to use and think men can get pregnant. We are witnessing an extinction event.
I’m not sure many paid attention to Biden’s amnesty for federal marijuana possession convictions, beyond the initial announcement. Another sop to young voters that amounted to nothing, but may have gotten some to turn out.
They will end up dead. No one to care for them and eventually the powers won’t need their votes or complaints. Useless idiots are sometimes the first to die. I always say - governments need engineers especially ones that can build weapons.
I think the Communists in Russia killed the useful idiots first. (term via Lenin)
2nd amendment ping
Brainwashed Gen Z wokesters are just waiting to be issued machine guns to load White cisgender boomers onto buses and trains for a one-way trip to the Soylent Green factory.
They are Red Guards and Khmer Rouge just awaiting orders.

VIDEO: This woman went viral on TikTok for disparaging and belittling her white father at his funeral.
She says she won’t miss him because he’s a “racist, Trump-loving, cis straight white man.”
