I feel like in the age of the #MeToo movement, one thing you’re kind of forced to become sensitive to, just based on it’s sheer prevalence, is when a victim is being blamed for being victimized. The idea that someone is responsible for their own harassment or assault because they didn’t act the right way, or in general be the right way is infuriating. If someone get’s attacked, the person responsible is the person who attacked them. So when Trump rails against the media, decries CNN as the “enemy of the people”, and continues to do so after his supporter send them a bomb, the idea that CNN is somehow responsible for their own misfortune is blatantly obscene. You don’t have to agree with or even like CNN, but if you can somehow decide that they brought a bomb upon themselves, and it wasn’t in any way the result of Trump being unable to take unfavorable opinions, then you and I don’t have much to talk about, because your moral compass is severely misaligned.
