“It’s a shame that 17 years later this is still being brought up. There’s not too much else to say about it at this point. Regardless of political beliefs, one thing I do know is that social media and online bullying needs to stop.” – Caitlin Upton, the infamous 2007 Miss Teen USA contestant, posting to X shortly before deleting her account a few minutes ago after receiving replies like the ones seen below. As I previously noted, Upton’s X feed was almost entirely retweets of prominent anti-vax, anti-LGBTQ, and far-right extremists.

This wasn’t done to you by Democrats. Or illegal immigrants. Or liberals. Or drag queens.
It was done to you by Republicans — notably the campaign of Donald Trump.
If you want to make the world a better place, stop saying “politics” and start naming names.

“All this bullying is terrible when it happens to me, but I love when Trump punches down on a daily basis”

I’d be sympathetic if you weren’t retweeting the very people who engage in this bullying.
Seems like you’re fine with it until it happens to you.

How about the bullying done at the rallies you support?
How about the bullying in legislation you support?
How about the bullying of election workers?17yrs later, even when the concept is reduced to an image that mirrors the one in your own mirror, u can’t grasp it…
