She is an amazing, intelligent young girl.

I cannot believe the nastiness I am reading from the right about her.

Had this been a child with a Maga cap, rallying for her favorite president, my bet is we would be reading a whole different narrative.

@TryingtoLava it's sad because she of course is mimicking her parent's views, but this is no different than the little kids that are brought to Pro Life or Trump rallies.

She is a child and it's disturbing to me to see grown ass adults putting such horrible words to her.

If they were smart, they wouldn't give her any attention at all if they see her as a purposeful pawn. 🤔

@JAYS21 , are you drinking?
@Peapod ive blocked alottt of peeps in this post! Calling a little girl evil? Its pretty mean

@TryingtoLava, good for you! I limit my time on these posts as well, but every once in a while, I take the bait and give my opinion.

@fairefoutre, the only bit I will give her detractors is that she is indeed speaking of adult issues that likely came from her parents. But I don't doubt she is very bright and with adulthood, she will be much more educated to what she speaks of.

I just wish those that call her horrific names could apply that to kids that learn too young to hate liberals, and become mini versions of [i]their[/i] parents! Do little kids really understand what MAGA even means?

Sorry people, but I really do see more hypocrisy on the right than the left.

@Peapod LOL, the best your side can do is an autistic 16 year old?
Peapod · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649, my side? Please tell me that you don't really believe everyone that doesn't support Trump has gathered together to put a young teen out there to speak? Please tell me you know better than that.

I am NOT comfortable with anyone putting a young person out there if you have carefully read me. I am simply imploring others to not make cruel comments about her and remember that both sides have repeatedly done this.

@Peapod The instant she opened her mouth he became an object subject to scrutiny, just like any other politician

@sunsporter1649 she's a minor for God's sake. I suppose you simply hate children too. Wow.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Peapod Oh, I get it, minors are to be exempt from critical investigation because....
Peapod · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649 ...because she IS a minor with autism. Be critical of her parents.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Peapod Trust me, we have, and since she is being manipulated in this way, all should feel the heat
Peapod · 61-69, F
@sunsporter1649, then we don't have much to debate if we both agree the parents deserve the criticism, not her.
@Peapod idk who youre arguing with but “ she's a minor for God's sake. I suppose you simply hate children too” made me think ummm id rather not know

@sunsporter1649 Lmao what investigation? Greta might be 16, but on the larger topics she’s more or less correct - while you’re old enough to know a few things, but somehow came through monumentally retarded.

@Peapod Nope, the kid is the one running her mouth, ergo, the kid gets the heat

Sunsporter1649...then you all got to stop saying she is a kid and stop saying she is brainwashed.

If a minor steals, they know better and there needs to be a consequence. But one autistic teen talking about global warming does not need to be punished.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Peapod Then shut her up
Peapod · 61-69, F
@TryingtoLava, I just added the name to the comment above in case anyone blocked would know who would say such a thing. I would also expect better of a man in his late 70s. Oh well.
@sunsporter1649 You are a serious tool.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@canusernamebemyusername One of the few serious tools you have ever met

@QuixoticSoul, once again, we are seeing a hysterical reaction by some over a blip in the news.
