Jane Fonda Relaunches Her Sainted Father's Anti-McCarthyist Org

I admire what she’s trying to do, but I don’t think Jane Fonda has been able to read a room properly for a long time.

She is a lightning rod and anything she gets behind is going to be dragged mercilessly by the right wing.

Goodness, r1, we certainly can't have *that*.

She looks fantastic !

Just how ancient are the people still hating on "Hanoi Jane" by this point?

I’m just saying it’s not going to help. Hop on Twitter if you want to lose a bit more faith in humanity.

I don’t know how we heal this division, but it is definitely not going to involve Jane Fonda.

That’s true. She’s creeping up on 90 and she looks great.

She is only a lightning rod to extreme conservatives, R1. To everyone else she's just an elderly actress and for some of us she's an admirable person who took risks to speak the truth.

I don't mistake Twitter with humanity.

FTFY, R7.

MAGA of all ages hate her, R9. No idea what you're going on about.

R10, uh-huh. I'm sure Rileigh, age 21, knows all about Jane Fonda, her connection to Vietnam, and her career.

Twitter is 90% Russian bots in 2025. Nobody takes it seriously anymore.

But it's still good for hosting easy porn.

Jane fucking rules. I used to be on the fence but that HBO documentary where she's really candid turned it around for me.

Very old folks react interestingly to plastic surgery. For the past 30 years, Jane gets face work when necessary and her face looks smooth and then a few years later she has ancient skin again. In this pic, her skin looks old and crepey again. Sure she looks fine for her age but a couple years ago she was smooth and now, again very old.

She made this announcement quickly after looking fat at Paris Fashion Week.

She has fared far better than Tokyo Rose and others like that, so I don’t think she can complain about it.

Rileigh doesn't need to know all of that. All Rileigh needs to know is that her parents hate "Hanoi Jane" because she's a woke commie. And her parents think that way because THEIR parents, Rileigh's MeeMaw and Pop Pop who live in a double wide festooned with Trump memorabilia inside and out, taught them that when they were kids.

You really don't get how these people operate. Everything is 100% indoctrination, strictly enforced conformity, and shunning and mockery of anyone who deviates from the self-created reality that they live in. Rileigh has been hearing about "Hollywood Liberals" her entire life. She doesn't need to know anything more than that about Jane Fonda.

"She is only a lightning rod to extreme conservatives,"

She is only a lightning rod to assholes who refuse to believe the US government would lie to its citizens and get us involved in a war we had no business being in.

Jane was right, Robert McNamara and the rest of the Ivy League Think Tank were dead wrong.

How about not hopping on Twitter and getting behind things like this that do matter, R5? You know what doesn't help anything? Hopping on Twitter.

She was 100 percent correct about the Vietnam War, that crass exercise in corporate profiteering.

Jane Fonda was absolutely correct about that ridiculous and immoral war. She's a national treasure this country doesn't deserve.

Why does everyone use the mouth-breathing fascists on Xitter as the benchmark for public opinion?

The people on Xitter are a small subset of the population. They are not the totality of human existence.

The people on Xitter are your prototypical angry, mouth-breathing lynch mob.

R17, oh, dear. Has Rileigh switched genders, mid-war?
