Me Too for Me, but Not for Thee

What ever happened to the #metoo movement. On October 15, 2017, our country came to a screeching halt when Alyssa Milano tweeted, “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet." Her tweet went viral and our country became laser focused on stopping sexual assault and holding the abusers accountable. Liberal women dedicated their lives exposing as many men as possible who had committed any type of sexual assault or harassment. Nobody was left unscathed. Over 200 powerful men were taken down by the #metoo movement. Men in the entertainment industry like Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, and Bill Cosby; Politicians such as, Al Franken, Trent Franks, Eric Greitens, John Conyers Jr., and Patrick Meehan; Sports figures, Jerry Richardson, Donovan McNabb, Eric Davis, Marshall Faulk, Heath Evans, and Ike Taylor, and many more. All had their careers and lives destroyed due to the #metoo movement. 

Supposedly, this movement was about protecting women from sexual predators, and creating safe places for women to work and to live without the fear that they would be sexually harassed, sexually assaulted or even killed. The liberal women who were at the forefront of this movement were blood thirsty, going after any man who did anything that could remotely be construed as sexual harassment or discrimination in order to cancel and destroy him. And if that truly was the motivation behind the #metoo movement, I support it. I don’t want to live in a country where women are sexually harassed and abused. Who would? But now, 8 years later, there are scores of liberal women out on the streets who are acting with the same blood thirsty fervor, putting their lives on the line to impede and obstruct ICE agents from detaining and deporting male illegal immigrants who have raped and killed women. I thought we as a country decided that sexual predators were the worst people and should be removed from society. That’s what the #metoo movement was all about, we were told. 

These liberal women want us to feel bad for Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were killed when they attacked and assaulted ICE agents who were in the process of detaining violent illegal aliens. When they came to arrest Bill Cosby at the height of the #metoo movement, if one of his delusional fans decided to attack the arresting officers, and the officers shot him dead, all of the liberal women who are now mourning the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti would have cheered that guy’s death because he was obstructing the arrest of a sexual predator which is exactly what Renee Good and Alex Pretti were doing when they were shot and killed.

Why isn’t there a #metoo movement for Laken Riley (22), Jocelyn Nungaray (12),  Rachel Morin (37), Ava Moore (18), Maria Pleitez (42) and Dayanara Pleitez (11), Raquel Lorena Sarabia Barajas (37), Katie Abraham (20), Melody Waldecker (54), Joselyn Toaquiza (21), Victoria Eileen Harwell (40s), Kayla Hamilton (20), Sarah Root (21), Mollie Tibbetts (20), Kate Steinle (32), Megan Bos (37), and all the many more women who have been raped and murdered by illegal aliens. Why aren’t liberal women raising awareness to the tragic murders of these women?

The #metoo movement was never about protecting women from sexual abuse, it was solely about dismantling the patriarchy, because if the goal of these liberal women was about protecting women from sexual assault, they would be standing shoulder to shoulder with the ICE agents who are risking their lives to detain and deport violent sexual predators, but the liberal women are obstructing the ICE agents because ICE agents deporting illegal aliens will dismantle the power structure of the Democrat party which depends on massive monetary and voter fraud within the illegal immigrant communities.

The #metoo movement was never about the victims of sexual abuse. It was all about dismantling the existing power structure. Since the people who were committing the sexual abuse were powerful men, mostly powerful white men, the #metoo movement was about dismantling the grip of power that white males had over the entertainment industry and other powerful institutions in our country. On the heels of the #metoo movement, came the implementation of DEI through all of our institutions. They used real or even fake charges of sexual abuse to remove white males from their positions of power and replace them with DEI hires.

It is hard to believe that these liberals who are risking their lives to prevent the deportation of rapists and murderers, really cared that an actress who is now making $20 million per film, was pressured onto the casting couch to land her first big role which launched her $20 million per film career. Do they really care more about multimillion dollar Hollywood actresses then about the 12-year-old girl being brutally raped and murdered in Minnesota? They don’t care about either of them. And they don’t care that the illegal immigrant who’s being deported has a family that is being broken up either because they didn’t care about the 300,000 migrant children who were sex trafficked across the border during the Biden administration as it was establishing the Democrat power structure of massive monetary and voter fraud.

This is all about power. The #metoo movement and illegal aliens are all about raw political power. Having the political power to impose your ideological views on the rest of us. That’s what leftism is all about. They will use anything to get their hands on that power. So, if it helps them to gain power to expose sexual predators, then they will do that fervently like during #metoo, but if it helps them gain power to protect sexual predators, they will do that fervently as we are witnessing in Minnesota. It is all about political power. They use the Constitution the same way. When it’s to their political advantage to protect the first amendment, they will do it fiercely. But when it’s to their political advantage to decimate the first amendment, as we saw during Covid and with Donald Trump, they will do that without a conscience. The only lens that we can view the left through, is the lens of power. And they want all of it. They want to control everybody’s lives. They want to dictate everything in society because they believe that they are morally superior people in every facet than everyone else so they should have the power to control everyone’s lives. And they will use any means necessary to get their slimy hands on that power.
