Yay.
This post again is related to eyelashes guy a bit although not so much about his eyelashes. As mentioned in the past, he is a conservative political journalist/commentator who I only began paying attention to due to his eyelashes; they are very long and noticeable.
In any case, today he put out an episode of his podcast in which he interviewed a family member of his that had voted for Trump. This family member lives in central PA, apparently. (For the record, I never liked PA anyways. Awful bumpy roads and nothing to see. Philadelphia was kind of a disappointment as well, even. I'll take DC or NYC any time over that. To people reading this who may happen to live in PA, I apologize for my negative opinion of your state.) So, this person said that they voted for Trump in spite of the offensive comments he made about groping women. They described those comments as an example something that people say that they're not proud of, but the comments still did not dissuade this person from voting for Trump. The comments are more than just things Trump said that he's not proud of. They are an indication, along with other things he's said and done over the years, that he does not respect women. This, for me, is one of the many things that disqualify him from being a suitable president of this country.
Towards the end of the interview (it was about 15 minutes long) the family member of eyelashes guy mentioned some things that would seem like they could have come out of the mouth of Donald Trump himself, one of which was the phrase "make America great again," among other things. During the interview, eyelashes guy asked his family member about their opinions regarding immigrants relating to Trump's comments/positions about immigration. They mentioned that they had encountered (Latino) immigrants in public where they live and had amiable interactions with them, yet they still voted for Trump. They claimed that Trump's comments about Mexicans being rapists only applied to a certain group of Mexicans. This family member of eyelashes guy does various charitable works in their community, which seems to have been mentioned to prove that this person isn't an entirely horrible person. I crocheted angrily while listening to this podcast because a) podcasts bore me if I'm not knitting or crocheting while listening and b) the things said in the podcast angered me.
That is about all that I have to say for now with regards to things related to eyelashes guy, but stay posted because undoubtedly I'm sure there'll be something in the future that he says that I'll feel compelled to write a blog post responding to, probably because I disagree. As usual, eyelashes guy will remain unnamed because I think it would be weird if he happened to stumble upon my blog posts about him.
The end. (for now)
