I'm sniffing about so many columnists vomiting the adjective 'outraged' whenever describing some prominent 'resistance' member.
I mean, chill the fuck out your not really a resistance, yes I get it you dont like Trump.
An old friend of mine has becone a real sjw type. Almost a parody of it. He is some researcher and teaching assistant at UC Davis and his wife is the same. Anyhoo, the wife was lamenting the suicide of her friend, a queer latina woman. Also from UC Davis, And she says "I will miss your humor and rage".
Together with the media bombardment its stuck in my head. Just seems like a strange way to think about someone. I dont kbow maybe Im talking out of my ass.

So I'm also not sure if it makes sense to talk about 'powerful' - or to which extent it can be something to build a political campaign on, which I suppose is what you mean. But the metoo campaign has certainly had a major impact and affected a huge number of people.
