+1. The story goes that Justin Fairfax was so despondent over these “false allegations” that he “spiraled into mental illness” and then just had to kill the mother of his children. PUHLEESE. Murder suicide is not about mental illness, it’s about control. If I can’t have it, you can’t either.
Now that the 48 hours is up, let’s just say I had the ick on this guy and I feel vindicated. The way he made it absolutely clear that he felt entitled to the governorship after Northam’s blackface scandal came out as a matter of racial justice, all the while knowing he had multiple and more recent gender violence skeletons in his own closet, just struck me as so cynical and gross. This guy amplified Republican crap, lead the pile on, and went after an objectively decent man who was doing good for Virginians because it served his own ambitions.
Not to excuse what Northam did one bit, but the 80s in the South was a different time. The consensus on blackface being unequivocally bad is a relatively recent cultural development. He was caught flat footed and rightfully paid the price.
But we all knew rape and assault were bad in the 2000s.
Both men saw the end of their political careers, but Northam at least had a legacy of distinguished service to marginalized populations that he could fall back on. Fairfax apparently was a miserable, lying drunk whose own wife installed cameras in her home to protect herself.
It’s not like law firms shy away from aggressive lawyers with checkered pasts - people saw through this guy. All of his charm just hid the fact he was a narcissist who served no one it himself, and when people started to see that, he was cooked. Look at all the “friends” who wanted nothing to do with him after the scandal came out. Everyone suspected it was true.
All of this. He was a cowardly, rapey, murdering piece of sh*t. The mod of this site and other outlets are making up any and every excuse they can come up with because they too are tribal pieces of sh*t that will protect POC and Dems at all cost, even if that includes throwing women to their death.
+1 it’s gross.

It is gross, but it’s 100% aligned with the current anti-woman bent of the Democrats. Just par for the course at this point.
Say the thugs who repeatedly bend over for a man who raped children and bragged about molesting beauty queens. Hit me again with your maternal deaths. Your bogus Bible literalism.
I’m a Democrat. And nobody said the Republicans were any better. You are just grasping for that immediately because you know it’s true the Democrats have enthusiastically leaned into misogyny. I mean, in this thread of all threads, you are going to reach for your talismanic prayer to Trump? You are proving the point.

There’s zero credible evidence Trump raped children. There are multiple accusations that Trump walked through a dressing room at a beauty pageant.
I don’t even know what the line about maternal deaths means, it’s so inappropriate to bring Trump up when an innocent woman has been murdered and her children are now without their mother. Can you discuss any topic without bringing up Trump? I seriously doubt some of you can. It’s disturbing, please try to focus and please stop bringing your personal obsession with Trump into every topic.
DP, but no, I personally won’t do that. Trump is trying to put himself in every aspect of American life and his horrible Iranian war policies are hurting the entire world at this point.
And you voted for him. AFTER he incited J6 and was convicted for sexual assault and said he just grabbed women by their privates. It isn’t like you didn’t know.
So, no I won’t step aside and not mention him and your mistake for voting for him because that was 1000x more impactful than Justin Fairfax on many more people.
I’ve never voted for a Republican presidential candidate in my entire life and I think you’re wildly out of line here. But you are nicely demonstrating for the rest of the thread just how a violent abuser like Fairfax managed to get adulation from the Democratic Party. So thanks for being a living example, I guess.

Because I’d think people who bow down before Epstein’s bestie like beta simps wouldn’t be calling Democrats (who have largely come out against Fairfax, btw) of being anti-woman, while putting in Stone Age superstition into law that actually kills women.

She should have left. Much sooner. That’s the point.
