    The 22-year-old last posted on Instagram on August 18. On that post, fans questioned her decision to like Swift’s post and accused her of “caving.” Others outright claimed they would no longer support the young star.

    How fragile do you have to be to behave this way? Cause this isn’t what a calm and confident person would do. This is the behavior of bratty fucking children in adult costumes.

      If you support stealing from me, I don’t want your support.

      Anyone with half a brain should realize committing fraud against a bank hurts the people who use those banks… and insure those banks, and bail out those banks if they make bad investments, say to someone lying about the worth of their assets to lock in deals that when they are failed to be paid, like all his other bankruptcies filed, the bank is left with far less than anticipated, and then they have to raise fees/decrease interests paid out, charge higher interest rates or simply get a bail out from the Feds. All of those things effect the working class.

        What the actual fuck are you talking about? We are talking about a young woman getting harassed

        • Let me make it simple, I wouldn’t want Trump supports to support me, they support fraud that hurts the working class.

          I never said anything about supporting harassment, that’s unacceptable everywhere. If you support harassment, please bugger off.

        Either my reading comprehension is borked, or that of literally everyone downvoting and replying to this post is…

        I thought you were laying out why Trump is (convicted of) stealing from banks and that she (WNBA star) wouldn’t want support from people supporting that guy.

          Yeah, I was saying I wouldn’t want Trump supporters support, oh well.

          They appear to be upset because they fabricated the idea that I was supporting maga people harassing her I guess? Once someone downvotes, people follow.

          The comment is about not wanting Trump supports to support me. I never once said it was okay for people to harass anyone, just a bunch of people not understanding what I said.

          Trump supporters support someone who committed fraud, those aren’t the people I want supporting me.

    I’m sorry, but let’s be realistic… if she came out in support of trump she would get a lot of negative responses also. We’re a pretty divided country.

          We moved away to L.A. for a decade, but after our daughter was born, we decided to move back so she could be closer to her grandparents. In some ways, involving that sort of thing, I’m glad. But politically it is just a nightmare.

              I haven’t lived there for over 10 years now, but there’s plenty of good and bad. The weather is, of course, great. There’s tons of stuff to do and tons of food options. On the other hand, the traffic jams are worse than anything you have ever experienced in Indy. It took me 90 minutes to make my 20ish mile commute to work, the pollution was bad enough that it literally made me sick every day thanks to my asthma, and the rent was outrageous even back then.

              But you can’t beat the weather.

              Probably the worst thing about L.A. is tourists. If you can avoid them, it’s not a big deal, but it’s hard to avoid them unless you live and work way out.

              Oh, and that’s the other thing. L.A. is vast. Bigger than you could possibly imagine. Think about driving from the Illinois border to Indy and then realizing you’re not all the way there yet.

      Hey, she got me watching WNBA content and I don’t even watch the NBA. Mostly I just get intrigued by players people dislike for no reason, like Lamar Jackson in the NFL. Dude has won 2 MVPs and carries the Ravens offense but people just move the goal posts on him every year.

    Maybe, just maybe, she was endorsing Taylor Swift’s statements regarding do your own research and make your own choice but please vote. Hard to be negative about that (unless of course your entire political party is a bunch of racist, sexist, xenophobic fascists lol).

    Unpopular opinion: She would also be harassed if she had endorsed Trump.

    EDIT: I’ll admit, I got curious about what kind of comments a celeb gets on social media after endorsing Trump. Some people have said that they deserve the harassment, which is at least honest. To be totally clear, I think that Trump is uniquely evil in the modern history of America. He is a grifter and I don’t see how anyone could support him or his policies. He is a racist, chauvinist, likely rapist, dangerous for our economy, physical safety, and basic rights.

    My only point is that maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to throw stones. Taking a political stand is risky for any celebrity, and we should be respectful of people when they do. Also, vote early.

    Well, you tell me: Is this harassment?

    She the first one they would throw off the wall #handmaidstale

    I can’t with you. Next tatoo of that big forehead, should be “Pendeja”!

    PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR POLITICAL ADVICE FROM A WOMAN OF HER KIND!

      Sure, but

      1. She didn’t endorse Harris

      2. If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

      True but it is not apples to oranges. Look at what these two are saying.

      Trump:

      • Distain for fallen service members and their families,
      • racists comments and dog whistling any chance he gets
      • making fun of disable people, distain for poor or middle class people
      • openly hostile to democracy and people having a voice
      • hatred for any women with a voice or dares to stand up for herself
      • hatred for LGBTQ+ people
      • hatred for migrants trying to escape death
      • openly supportive of genocide
      • open hatred for any brown/black person that doesn’t love him (or any person honestly)

      Kamala:

      • Kind of openly supporting genocide

      This is not Bush or a McCain situation. At least they had some redeeming traits. Hell, they at least loved their kids. A very low bar to trip over.

          Agreed. The situation is fraught with peril. Being famous, being an athlete, getting sponsorships, Clark and Swift are not at all in the same position in terms of fame and financial security. I like to see people with principles stand up for what they believe regardless of the consequences, but I understand why most don’t. I’ve had second thoughts about putting up lawn signs for fear of becoming a target of political violence, and I’m nobody.

  • She can’t be bothered by the entire WNBA and ESPN constantly being negative to her, these fake fan bigots and morons aren’t going to do anything to her.

    However these people are still weird and deplorable.
