20. 10 yrs ago I went to a rally at the UW Madison that was addressing the issue of "conflict minerals"

and rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rodgers was the main speaker, and during his talk he mentioned speaking with Russ Feingold about the issue. At the time Feingold was Special Envoy to the Great Lakes region of Africa.

That's generally thought of as a liberal issue.

Rodgers is not racist. He has avoided taking partisan stands on Wisconsin elections, but he generally has seemed liberal.

The stuff he's said in the last year is surprising to me and its inconsistent with the impression he made in the past. He's definitely anti-vax, but I don't think that means he is a right-winger.

He's very arrogant, and having the President of the United States tell him to get vaccinated probably infuriated him. So he lashed out.

So why is it funny for men to cry? milestogo Jan 2022 #25

Forget it. If you don't know about the Jordan crying meme... brush Jan 2022 #27

I think toxic masculinity, which makes fun of men who cry, is a big problem. milestogo Jan 2022 #28
