you’re an idiot. no one is “letting the other six off the hook”, the other six are mostly republicans who everyone already hates ANYWAY. the point of this post is to point out that we shouldn’t be idolizing RBG, because she is just as shitty as any other politician. no one is idolizing the other 6 judges, so the point doesn’t make sense to make for the rest.
turning “hey we shouldn’t be idolizing this centrist judge who voted for a gas pipeline to be built among MANY OTHER shitty decisions” into “guhhh you just hate her because she’s a WOMAN” is ridiculous. also note that of the 3 female supreme court judges, she was the only one to vote to approve this pipeline. why not support one of the other two instead of crying about people posting rightful criticism of RBG?
additionally, while we’re pointing out RBG’s demographics, we should note she’s not just a woman: she’s also white! this pipeline crosses through majority black, latine, and native communities. check out this article:
The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Battle Is About People, Not Precedent: The rural, Native, Black, and Latinx communities protesting the controversial pipeline deserve clean, safe places to call home.
ignoring the fact that she’s a white person approving pipelines through communities of color just because she’s a woman is so incredibly disingenuous
