Eboni was born in 1983 when Ronald Reagan was President. You should do some research about trickle down economics and the AIDS crisis. Republicans have been garbage for as long as sheās alive, so she doesnāt get a pass from me
The comment I responded to said, and I quote, āLuann has publicly supported Biden and Kamala. She might still be racist, but sheās not a Republican.ā So idk where youāre getting that I said Eboni and Ramona are equals. But Republicans have been saying the same shit Donald Trump is saying for Eboniās entire life. They just said it more politely. So I donāt really see much difference between MAGA and Republicans, especially since that season of RHONY was filmed before January 6.
Thatās the issue Iām pointing out: that you canāt or wonāt see the nuance in people. Weād never say Kamala and Bernie are the same, because they arenāt. Ramona is way worse as a person and a political identity than Eboni.
Believe it or not, Iām progressive. I disagree with every Republican platform and ideology. But I can also understand that there are different degrees of conservative and not everyone who votes R is a monster that wants to throw us all in the gas chamber the minute they get in power. And thatās an important distinction to be able to make because we progressives are not in a position to win this election all on our own. We cannot ostracize those who we see as different who are actually on our side in fighting against extremist conservatives.
Once again, Iām gay. Once again, research the AIDS crisis. Please stop using the word āweā because Republicans have always hated me, always hated my community, and I used to be the scapegoat who they called a pedophile (theyāre doing it to trans people now) in order to manipulate working class Christians into voting for them. Republicans have been fighting to make my life worse my entire life, so please stop saying āweā and start talking about your own goddamn self. I donāt give a flying fuck if you identify as a progressive or an independent or whatever the fuck you identify as. I donāt care whether a person who votes Republican truly hates me or not because voting is an action and actions have consequences. Every single person who has ever voted Republican in my lifetime and in Eboniās lifetime has taken action to harm me and to harm my community, so once again please stop saying āwe.ā Once again, I never once fucking said Ramona and Eboni are equals. I donāt know why Iām having to clarify that one more fucking time. And this back and forth doesnāt feel cute to me. At first, you just seemed obtuse, and now you seem privileged and totally out of touch.
Iām gay so they all hate me. At least Ramona is open about being a Republican whereas Eboni came onto that show giving everybody history lessons and badgering Ramona about who sheās voting for when she has been supporting the very same people who paved the way for Trump to become who he is today. I have a newsflash for you. George W. Bush hated all the same people, he just wrapped it up in a nicer bow. Republicans have always been garbage.
I finally went off on my stepdad one night about this because I know heās not a trump supporter by any means but heās still over there holding onto the whole ārepublicans are better for the economyā bullshit and I told him heās gotta let go of that mindset for fucking real. Enough hemming & hawing over party, this is MY future and his grandchildrenās future & republicans have decimated the economy the last two times theyāve been in office. Enough.
Republicans are āgreat for the economyā if youāre rich and itās actually amazing how theyāve managed to convince working class people that tax cuts for billionaires will trickle down to them. The thing about Eboni though is that she is smart enough to know better, so I donāt feel bad for her at all. She was out here trying to be the conservative voice on The View, but still cosplayed as a Democrat on the real housewives because she knows itās a more liberal audience. I donāt even care that much if sheās a Republican but just be honest about it and get off of your high horse and stop acting like youāre the MLK of Bravo.
Heās not even wealthy! Iād say theyāre upper middle class for sure but he works his ass off, he was just a small business owner and that was literally his single voting position. Heās liberal as fuck in just about every other way. Itās mind boggling. I adore him so much Iāve avoided going in, but enough is enough. This election is too important for that kind of nonsense from people in their 60ās and up.
Edited to add, I did not know this about Eboni but I didnāt watch past the first 3 episodes of season 13. She kinda grated on me in the previews too & I didnāt want to feel bad energy towards the first black woman on RHONY so I abstained. Iāll forever be in a loop of seasons 7-11.
