Lena Dunham not suprised by rise of MAGA, after enduring "Conservative Misogyny"

While talking on this week’s “Girls Rewatch” podcast, Dunham explained that based on a number of comments she was sent on social media back in the early 2010s she was prepped and ready for the more hateful aspects of the MAGA movement. What did surprise her was how many other people were shocked by it.

“There were so many people who when the voices of like the really alt-right or MAGA or conservative voices, Proud Boys, whatever started to rise and people were like I’m so shocked by the way people are talking,” Dunham said. “I was like I’m not. Those voices existed in the comment section. I was experiencing those voices in 2012.”

She continued: “There were so many angry seemingly men and some women dissecting the show in these like incredibly conservative terms. Like yes, there were people in Brooklyn who found us irritating … I always had a lot more respect for that. But there was also a big contingent of conservative people looking at it almost like evidence of a certain kind of moral decrepitude and also making big judgements about our physical bodies, our sexuality. It was really interesting to realize kind of what a surprise that was to some people.”

I’m bored reading this. Why is she becoming a thing again? There are people with legitimate talent out there.

Lena, your one dimensional exhibitionism is not profound. You’re a slightly more intellectual Paris Hilton with an average body and looks.

It's not either/or: one can loathe Trump/MAGA and also criticize Lens.

Any "hatred" towards Lena has been brought on herself. Must we endure a comeback now by this mentally ill, morbidly obese, insufferable sow?

Oh Lens, you're so smart!!

You know EVERYTHING.

She's a histrionic narcissist of the type that just needs to be avoided.

Otherwise you'll feel yourself sprayed by her bloody shit and hear her call herself a victim over it.
