This is such an important perspective. It is interesting that, as bad as things are in rhe UK (where the women’s rights events are not “hers”) the pushback is not as insane as in the US and down under. I watched every one of her US events online (and they were hers. Not the local activists) with increasing horror as they became more and more dangerous and unhinged (with the notable exception of DC where cops are 1st amendment pros). I’ve participated over my life in countless street demonstrations and marches, and know that to be safe and effective, many months of careful planning is necessary.
The fact that this continues to happen makes me feel like these tours are more about the Posie Parker brand than women’s rights. No such thing as bad publicity.
I actually don’t believe she is a fascist or a Nazi. But she doesn’t mind people who are.
Kara Dansky is a deep disappointment. She does understand the political landscape in the US , and should understand single issue voting is deeply irresponsible given the make up of the Supreme Court, the catastrophe of guns and violence (which disproportionately impacts women and children) reproductive rights, and the safe guarding of democracy. With that backdrop, appearing on Tucker Carlson so frequently shows an inability to understand that democratic women are just not going to make common cause with the likes of Matt Walsh and other regressive men. They just won’t. Until perhaps a girl in their family gets swept up in this insanity, when it is largely too late, because by then, speaking is incredibly dangerous.
