When I saw this this morning, I laughed so hard I almost fell out of bed 😭
Yikes to the fact that Jasmine Crockett received PAC donations from crypto and voted with other Dems to provide military aid to Israel, but at least there's some entertainment in watching her eat up Republicans like MTG whenever they pull some bullshit like that.
Also, isn't "butch" kind of an anti-gay slur?
It can be, but I don't think sexuality was relevant in this exchange about fakeness and feminine/masculine presentation.
MTG used something feminine as an insult and the response was that MTG does something similar but on the masculine end of the spectrum. It sounded to me like she was calling MTG a hypocrit, not gay.
Butch is one end of a spectrum with femme on the other end. It can be used insultingly, but it's not anti-gay. If anything it's extremely gay.
It might be slightly sexist to throw at someone unprompted, but I think it's pretty fine in this context. It's not like she's using it on a trans woman. She's biting back at another cis woman who attacked her appearance by telling her she looks masculine, showing she can go low too, and is a better at it. She even alliterates literally 6 words in a row during a coherent insult. MTG couldn't do that if she had all week.
Honestly, the left needs more of this.

I guess I'm still trying to parse out the implication that something is bad simply because "crypto"
Well, to be more frank, I am wary of cryptocurrency and especially the marketing of it as relief for the ills of capitalism. It doesn't help that mining for cryptocurrency is highly energy-intensive (much of that power being sourced from fossil fuels) and e-waste-producing, or that it's simply become a vehicle for high-risk financial speculation as well as run-of-the-mill fraud and scams. In short, to me, cryptocurrency is bad, or at least the negatives outweigh any potential positives.
If you have trouble with that implication, that's fine, that's your opinion, but I don't like having my view reduced down to "bad bcz crypto lol" just because I didn't sufficiently explain it initially. I don't post or comment in this community just to be nitpicked or belittled.
I mean, I hear this take often so I challenge it specifically because it tends to boil down to "I'm wary of this thing I don't know much about".
Frankly, if you don't want to be nitpicked for using "crypto" as a bogeyman, then maybe don't do it?

Why was this comment asking for clarification removed?
I mean, crypto.com is a thing and they're advertising everywhere.
It is a lot like watching two people fight I think. You don't have to like either of them to enjoy watching them beat each other up, but it isn't any fun if it is just one person battering the other.
