NurseJackie's JournalWhen you are a "Karen," that means you've opted-in -- and if it don't apply, let it fly!
?t=60But the fact is, if someone is labeling you "Karen," that means you've done something to warrant that label. You're not just sitting there minding your own business. And generally it means that you've stepped into something--into somebody else's business--that you have no business stepping into.
And you've made a spectacle of yourself based on some degree of privilege that you believe that you have. If that applies to you, KAREN, then that applies to you! If it doesn't apply to you, then just let it fly! Why people want to...when people are like "oh, it's the new n-word"... ARE YOU SERIOUS, KAREN?! That is a Karen! Okay?

People who enjoy attacking the Lincoln Project are engaging in a not-so-subtle pastime of letting others know how pure they are. It's not unique to this web site, I've seen it elsewhere on the Internet and on Facebook and Twitter.
All I'm saying is that from what I've observed, the overall goal appears to be one that involves showboating about their own pure morality while at the same time they are busy insulting others and dragging others down. It's divisive, demeaning, denigrating and bullying behavior. The message from those who do such things can be summed up thusly: "Nah-nah! Look at me! I'm better than you because I'm pure, you're not, you suck! Nyaaaah!"
It's just as annoying as that bratty kid, Stilwell, from the movie "A League of Their Own"

Kindly fast-forward to the 55-second mark to actually LISTEN to what she's saying. Or read it. (I've made it as easy as possible by including a transcript for you.)
TRANSCRIPT of AMANDA SEALES (actress and comedian)
A "Karen" is a white woman whose oblivion of their privelege causes them to act in a way that is oppressive, and often-times... insane.
(video clip)
Some might think that a "Karen" is just a loud white woman asking for the manager. You know, disrupting your customer service experience. But I'm here to tell ya, Karen goes a lot deeper.
(video clip)
Karen is a white woman who is a descendant of those who came before her who could scream and get a black man killed, who could point and get a black woman murdered.

For me these videos are very triggering. I think that there's a certain level of like "oh-ha-ha-ha they're annoying" when you're just watching it. But when you're in that situation it is not an annoyance, it is a disruption of your being.
You know that as a person of color--specifically a black person--you are the one who's going to be in the situation of having to prove your innocence.
She's a total Karen.

Awesome!
C'MON! GET IN! We're taking back America!
Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
They're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

Holly Gottawhine is letting her bitterness, resentment and bias shine through... when she resorts to writing in that manner. Her style and tone would be more appropriate for her own far-left blog, or as a random OP on some Internet political discussion forum. It really serves no good purpose for Politico (or anyone) to continue this charade of pretending that she's some kind of serious journalist or reporter.
Meh. She's a Karen. It definitely applies! She has opted-in.

Here... watch this (Fast-Forward to the 1-min mark)
If this doesn't make sense, then nothing will. Listen to what she says.

Partial Transcript: Okay, I'm gonna need for people who are calling this a slur, and "racial slur" to stop! Okay? When you are a "Karen," that means you've opted-in -- and if it don't apply, let it fly!

Some of them are likely "as good as" dead... at least as far as their careers go (I hope).
I'll never forgive Sarandon for her treachery and lies. Just like Nina Turner, she knew better... she was disappointed and wanted revenge. She gave a lot of people "cover" for their choice to not support Hillary, or to vote for Stein, or to write in the name of someone who could never win. Another high-profile (supposedly) progressive individual even gave 'cover' to her twitter followers by proclaiming that it doesn't matter WHO you vote for, as long as you vote. When the fact of the matter is this: IT ACTUALLY DOES MATTER WHO YOU VOTE FOR!
And now, even today, we have other so-called progressives at Politico slinging shit at Biden and creating division among Democrats. And the negativity of Michael Moore is demoralizing, not inspiring. It looks like he's trying to cause and guarantee his self-fulfilling prophecy so that he can have the pleasure of proclaiming "told you so".
