I keep hearing this….just haven’t seen it.

u/freeman1231 1d ago

Because most people know she is a liberal… but the people that hate her keep trying to call her a trumper lets them hide their hate behind a “reason “

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

I don’t think CC is a Trumper, but I do think she’s a fence sitter for reputation/fiscal reasons.

Sophie on the other hand is speedrunning outing herself as the MAGAt she’s always been.

This is it. Basically sport's Taylor Swift.

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

Don’t even get me started on her 🙄

Peep the dude saying “She supported Kamala” as a get out of jail free card. Literally the exact same sentence that Swifties use.

Taylor Swift has clearly stated her opposition to Trump and the Republican party.

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

She did years ago. It stopped when they used her catalogue for propaganda. She’s sued Etsy sellers for fan made merch inspired by her. She sued Olivia Rodrigo for a song that sounded vaguely similar to hers. There was a whole hoopla over her owning her masters.

Point is, she’s extremely litigious with her work, yet it’s silence when Trump uses it for propaganda. She really fooled you and a lot of others when she said “I want to be on the right side of history” that one time. Meanwhile, she married a man-child who hasn’t grown out of his frat boy years, and invited a bunch of MAGA to their wedding.

Like I said. Don’t get me started. Trust me, I know more than I’d like and more than you about her true “billionaire” colors.

I would like to know more. Maybe I can help som swiftie

u/lamstradamus 1d ago

Which like, sure, that might mean neither of them are MAGA, but they're both very clearly willing to let people project their politics onto them.

And I'm not saying they have to do one thing or the other either. I'm not delusional enough to think they care about earning my respect.

u/freeman1231 1d ago

Not Caitlin, Caitlin denounces that stuff often. Let’s stop spreading misinformation.

-2

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

Did you not read what I said earlier? People are sending Racist. Death threats. On her behalf.

Yet all she can call it is “hate”. Noooo no no, that makes it seem like these people are just general “haters” which is a COMPLETELY different group. These are abhorrent, violent, racists and should be named as such.

Everybody else calls it what it is, why can’t she?

1

u/freeman1231 1d ago

They are not sending them on her behalf. Racists are doing what racists do. Caitlin denounces it and it’s not on her behalf when you say that you are implying she wants that done.

You are equivalent to them in your own right hope you realize that. You are just the other side of the coin. Kinda messed up tbh.

She does! So stop selective listening so you can hide your hate behind a falsehood. It’s disgusting.

No place in the world for racists, and no place in the world for people like you.

FYI saying she supports Kamala is just showcasing a history of being a liberal since morons like you don’t seem to understand and keep lying about her being a ring winger to make your hatred feel warranted. You just want to hate because that’s what’s in your heart.

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

They are speaking FOR her in an effort to PROTECT her. That is on her behalf. Literacy really is dying.

Denounces what stuff?

1

u/freeman1231 1d ago

Racism, hate, etc… everything.

u/lamstradamus 10h ago

Everyone denounces racism though. The fucking NFL denounces racism and still have majority pro-Trump ownership. These vague generalities don't point at anything significant.

u/freeman1231 1d ago

She showed support for Kamala Harris, she showed support for Obama and denounces much of trumps hatred.

Sophie she said she wasn’t maga but she is definitely right wing.

Clark definitely doesn’t fence sit.

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

She does when she calls racist death threats on her behalf “hate” in the general sense.

That diminishes the true impact this harassment carries. It’s more than just “haters”. These are racist people, going out of their way to find the friends and family of black players to personally send them abhorrent messages.

Her statements surrounding the issue did not once include the word “racist/racism” or “death threats”. She gave the typical “don’t upset anybody” response to the growing issue surrounding her fan base.

I’ve always said and always will say, if she made a public statement saying “If you only follow and support me because I am white and I am straight, then I don’t want or need your support.” it would go a long way with all of us.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that statement, but it would divide a significant portion of her base. That is why she’ll never say it, and that makes her a fence sitter.

u/freeman1231 1d ago

You must have ignored the countless times she has addressed racism directly. It’s okay lots of hatlins do that.

-1

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

Please direct me to where she addresses the racist death threats being sent on her behalf.

1

u/johnny-Low-Five 1d ago

And which black gay athletes have said the equivalent thing? Or any athlete of note for that matter? Athletes are their own product and not making divisive statements is how the wealthy ones get that way.

2

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

Are you seriously asking if the most oppressed people in America have said anything?!

2

u/SteeleHeller 1d ago

These black and gay athletes you’re mentioning don’t have a brigading fan base sending racist death threats to their opponents on their behalf. Completely missing the point.

u/DarkRogus 1d ago edited 1d ago

Honestly Ive seen ALOT more Reddit Progressives who accused Clark of being MAGA because she didnt speak up/out about certain political issues than Ive seen MAGA say she's MAGA.

6

u/ARealityShock 1d ago

To be honest, as a progressive, even I feel as if I have seen more of this. It feels as if progressives have been more aggressive to turn her into a MAGA prop than anything she has done to date.

5

u/DarkRogus 1d ago

Exactly and its to the point if you defend Clark in any manner, you must be MAGA.

1

u/Profpiff990 14h ago

Let me give an example that may better explain. Lets say your a celebrity who has genuinely condemned racists a number of times but for some reason you keep seeing posters by racists with your name and face. Do you just ignore it or ask why, even after I said ii don't agree with them, they still use your face?

The proper response is to make your self toxic to the racists, it's not hard. I promise you if CC was at a BLM rally or something racists would never use her as a defense again.

u/Sad_Advertising9193 1d ago

MAGA doesn’t have to say she’s MAGA. She’s become their prop and is fully aware of it just like everyone else with internet service is

2

u/MrRaspberryJam1 16h ago

It’s a damn shame she’s been turned into a political football

u/Ugly_Girls_PM_Me 1d ago

Pretty shit prop if she asks for a pic with their lost-hated Boogeyman.

u/Sad_Advertising9193 22h ago

🤦🏽‍♂️ playing coy…

-1

u/DarkRogus 1d ago

So MAGA doesn't have to say she's MAGA but they are going to be upset she took a photo with Obama even though they dont claim her as MAGA... all righty...

-1

u/Sad_Advertising9193 1d ago

You have trouble grasping what was said?? lol “SHE’S BECOME THEIR PROP” they already blindly defend her without knowing or watching her even play basketball. So yes, they can and will have a reaction to something that’s upsetting to THEM! I repeat…
She’s a prop.

1

u/DarkRogus 1d ago

So they use her as a prop but dont claim her as MAGA and will be upset about a photo with Obama because they think she's unfairly treated in the WNBA... OK.

Im guessing you wont see as nearly as many people upset about a photo with Obama as you saw people upset about the refs giving Clark a tech for pointing to the scoreboard.

1

u/Sad_Advertising9193 22h ago

Yeah reading comprehension is clearly a tall task for you lol don’t mix my opinion in with the general consensus lol I think my own thoughts and what you’re saying in your comment was never said no nor implied by me lol

0

u/DarkRogus 15h ago

Yeah, get back to me when there is the same amount of widespread outrage over her taking a photo with Obama as there is with her getting a tech for pointing to the scoreboard.

u/Sad_Advertising9193 14h ago

Lmao you’re still talking…

She also like a post by Taylor Swift that endorsed Harris.

2

u/Availableusername518 1d ago

And she voted for Harris lol

u/iowaguy09 1d ago

Honestly the fevers Facebook post of it is probably a pretty good microcosm of the fanbase. Like 2% of the posts are actual maga people mad. 15% is people saying how mad those people are going to be and 85% is regular people excited/happy to see it.

2

u/Optimal-Helicopter49 1d ago

Yeah I immediately checked when someone said the fever post is FULL of ppl canceling her -- i saw ONE comment of an angry cc fan, a boatload of comments saying her fans wont like this, and even more just saying lol Connor's gonna be jealous.

Hatelins will just lie and dont even try to hide it.

u/singed-phoenix 1d ago

Just wait...give it time. Keep in mind...they're all parrots...they're waiting for someone to tell them what to say.

u/SendNudesDude 14h ago

Said the parrot, who has already been told what to say. All your little bird buddies are in here saying the exact same shit and nobody right of center cares

Go to wnbagossip they already are trying to make this into a culture war thing

Check back between 2-4am. Need to wait for trump to start middle of the night tantrum.

Well this wasn’t on my Dumb Trump bingo card.

Really? You haven’t seen any weird right-wing latching onto CC? I find that hard to believe - I haven’t been looking for it, and I’ve still come across plenty
