I always am a little uneasy about these kinds of posts because they seem to be either uninformed that the man has a stutter or making fun of a person because he has a stutter. All those online clips of him are usually taken during periods when he’s trying to prevent his body from involuntarily repeating itself and succeeding at it. Feels like a weird avenue of attack…. It’s not like there aren’t really easily accessible clips where he’s not having a stuttering episode where he speaks for prolonged periods without any issue.

Views on politics whatever… going after him because he does what stutterers are told to do to avoid stuttering? Weird.

A lot of criticism here makes sense to me but this doesn’t. Like… there are people talking about literally shooting lgbtq people running for politics. There are people in government currently working to ban books on MLK Jr. we have laws on the books to fire someone for discussing law abiding citizens of the community because some people don’t think they’re as equal as other people. Somebody just broke into a persons house and attacked them with a hammer because of stuff politicians said. Like… if that doesn’t inhabit some part of your brain pretty regularly and concern you that… I dunno… those seem like fairly important things to be worried about to normal people. That should be scary to people.
