Victimhood Purchases Power

A.F. Branco

Sloan Oliver   "During his victory speech, Senator Raphael Warnock claimed to be a victim of voter suppression.  Let me try to understand, Georgia had record voter turnout, Warnock won the election but claimed that votes were suppressed.  In other words, he’s a victim.  Really?  Someone, anyone, find one legal voter who was unable to vote in Georgia.  You can’t.  So Warnock and Stacey Abrams (she also claimed voter suppression), please, you’re both a bore.

"With Abrams and Warnock in mind, is there anything more insufferable than our privileged, millionaires (and billionaires) complaining about their terrible circumstances in life, about being victims?  Last week, Jennifer Lawrence, of the Hunger Games fame, claimed to be a victim.  Forget that she’s one of the most privileged people in the entire world.  In a Variety interview, she claims to have overcome oppression and that she’s still being oppressed.  Where’s the proof, you ask?  In her statement, “Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie.”  Translation: Jennifer thought her acting abilities were being questioned, which means she was being oppressed; she was being victimized.  Not only is Lawrence not a victim, she’s extremely ignorant.  Sigourney Weaver in Aliens (1979), Linda Hamilton (Terminator movies), Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider – 2001 and 2003), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill – 2003), and Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four – 2005) all quickly come to mind.  Lawrence needs to read history books about centuries past to learn true victims of oppression.". . .

. . ."Last week, Biden exchanged (i.e. released) a Russian arms dealer (known as the “merchant of death”) for an American held by the Ruskies.  He had two exchange choices - Brittney Griner, privileged WNBA player who hates America or Paul Whelan, a Marine who put his life on the line for America.  Both Griner and Whelan were convicted and sentenced to lengthy prison sentences in Russian courts on questionable charges.  Guess which one Biden traded the arms merchant for, the non-privileged Marine who served America or the privileged victim who hates America?  You know the answer."   (Emphasis added; TD)
