We know we’ve said it before, but what the hell happened to Kirsten Powers? She used to be a reliably sane Democrat, and now … well, now she’s just your run-of-the-mill, insufferable, virtue-signaling liberal.
Today, she’s set her sights on Halloween:
Dear white people who are upset that you can't dress up as another race or culture for Halloween: your feelings don't matter. The only feelings that matter are of those who feel disrespected/mocked by you appropriating their culture for entertainment.
Show some common decency.
— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) October 23, 2018
How about you show some common sense, Kirsten?
There's a difference between dressing up like a farmer and donning blackface in the style of an early 20th Century minstrel show, my friend.
— Doug Mataconis (@dmataconis) October 23, 2018
Letting your daughter dress up as Moana is hardly condoning “blackface,” dude.
that's not what kirsten said. she could have been more specific. she wasn't.

Context matters
— Doug Mataconis (@dmataconis) October 23, 2018
the context of my tweet is commenting on her tweet which paints with a broad brush. powers doesn't speak for all white people and she doesn't speak for all members of any particular group. just as i don't speak for all 1/2 white, 1/2 asian people

Why do so many liberals insist on creating widespread problems where there aren’t any? Is it because they’ve got nothing better to do?
Who is saying we can’t do this? https://t.co/UddG203ffm

The only ppl who make a big deal out of this are white ppl who have an unhealthy need to go out of their way to make sure ppl think they're good ppl…. It has got to be the most pathetic display of smugness

Does this just apply to whites? Or can my Asian friend dress up as Taylor Swift? I need more specifics on these hard and fast rules.
— KRenner (@KRenner2) October 23, 2018
Only white people? Hmm. OK. Are Asians exempt from this rule? Latinos? American Indians? Is it only about skin color? What about light-skinned vs dark-skinned blacks? Which race takes priority for those of mixed heritage? You seem to be the authority here. Tell us what's allowed.

Don't you hate racists? Like white women who claim to speak for other races and cultures? https://t.co/zO7QUhHLoF

She used to be sane…

Wow….I had given you more credit than this. Looking for reasons to be offended ought to be discouraged, not enshrined.

She must be so proud of herself. That’s good. At least someone is.

Dear Misguided Guilt-Slinging Bluechecked White Lady,
We dress as whatever we want to for Halloween. No guilt.

how about do whatever you want and stop ruining everything https://t.co/EJ6vo25MDc
— Ryan (@alwaysonoffense) October 23, 2018
What a novel idea.
Now that we know just being 1/1024th Native American is enough, every white person should wear a War bonnet and dedicate it the @KirstenPowers
— Mujahed (@kebejay) October 23, 2018
I find it offensive when you dress as a credible journalist. This must end.
— Wittorical (@Wittorical) October 23, 2018
I am offended by your presence on Twitter. I feel disrespected. You’re going to need to leave. I realize you don’t like this, but your feelings don’t matter. Mine do. https://t.co/4yat0FRCs7

Fair is fair, Kirsten.
Don't you ever get bored of broadcasting how woke you are with pointless garbage tweets?
