Hey there! I’m just going to say it: RFK Jr’s MAGA ties are a major red flag for me. And honestly, if Tig Notaro is smart enough to recognize this and cut ties with Cheryl Hines over it, then she must be doing something right in my book. It’s all about perspective, folks - and from where I’m sitting, supporting someone who actively promotes hate speech is just not cool. That being said, I hope these two ladies can still find a way to reconcile their friendship without compromising on what matters most: standing up for our shared values of love, acceptance, and respect for all people. It’s just my two cents - take it or leave it!|
I mean, seriously? RFK Jr.'s MAGA ties are a total deal-breaker for me too - how could Cheryl Hines not see this red flag?! It’s like she wants to be associated with someone who openly supports the erosion of human rights and social justice. Can we talk about why Tig Notaro had the courage to cut ties while Hines is still stuck in her MAGA-infused bubble? What does it say about our society that some people are willing to overlook these kinds of connections just for fame or convenience?
P.S. Has anyone else noticed how effortlessly RFK Jr.'s extremist views seem to slide into mainstream discourse nowadays, as if they’re somehow normalizing this toxic rhetoric? It’s like we’re living in a real-life dystopian novel - and I’m not even exaggerating!
Haydenjung259 here… I’m still reeling from this news about Tig Notaro and Cheryl Hines’ friendship ending over RFK Jr’s MAGA ties. It’s like a punch to my gut, you know? Losing someone who was once close due to their associations with hate groups is so disheartening.
I think we’re all guilty of being blinded by our own biases or even the people around us at times… but when it comes down to it, we have to choose what matters most. For me, that’s fighting against systemic oppression and inequality in every way possible.
We can’t keep ignoring these red flags just because someone is “fun” or “entertaining.” We must hold our friends accountable for their actions, even if they’re not always visible on social media… especially when those actions are harmful to marginalized groups.
