You’re absolutely correct. If they aren’t out burning crosses on lawns, they don’t think they are racists.

We have Pam and Bev and their ilk to thank for the whole, you know, trainwreck disaster dumpsterfire apocalypse-bringer election. At least these two are getting called out. A little teeny weeny bright side.

These are the type of people, I’ve recently come to realize, who think they aren’t being racist because they aren’t overtly claiming they hate black people, and aren’t out lynching anyone.

If you refer to a black person as an “ape” there is no way in HELL you are not being racist. I’m sorry. This is not a case of “you misread my comment thooo.” It’s blatant racism.

which is remarkably funny, because melania totally aped the first lady’s speech, in heels.

Again, I would like to apologize for this getting out of hand

No, we’re not.

I know I’m not. Allowing him to host SNL last year was a Category 5 mistake.

Please. They’re not paying attention. The election of Trump was just a validation to themselves their hatred of brown people and assorted “others” remains in the mainstream. They couldn’t give a fuck what he’s actually doing. So long as he rattles the cages with a few “Mexicans are rapists” and “extreme vetting…

Yeah, I’m totally in a four-year mode of revenge after this. No one who I know supported Trump is getting any of my business, and they are not going to get the opportunity to pretend to be my friend while talking shit about me behind my back.

Why did it take a white woman on the ticket in order for so many white Democrats to register a fact that has been true for 50 years? I’m fucking serious. Instead of fussing over all those other white people who voted for Trump, maybe this is a good moment for self-reflection. If it surprises you that a majority of…

Wait, what? Undoing everything the previous liberal president did is palatable to liberals? You can pick out one or two things that sounds good (lobbying ban, sure), but this is a wholesale repudiation of liberalism. It’s what he was elected to do, so it’s not a surprise, but there’s no compromising in there.

but he’s not a successful businessman. If fact, everything he’s done on his own has been an abject failure. His focus is going to be figuring out ways to funnel public money into his pockets.

Actually, research shows that term limits do nothing. You get the same politicians in office, only now they are more inexperienced and dependent on interest groups and lobbyist for information about the complex issues they face.

I just read through that. My favorite part was where they said We’re going to put illegal immigrants who re-enter the country into federal prision for a minimum of 2-5 years... So, lemme get this straight, rather than just continuing to deport someone (which costs, what... a bus/plane ticket?), we’re going to spend…

Only reason why Trump is winning is because those assholes thought it was going to be cool to vote against the %1 - give them a shot to the heart. Well all the things that these people will see all of the platforms go up in smoke. With hillary, there would be a chance that most of them will see the light of day.

I’m a teacher in Australia and I’ve had the live results showing on my projector during class. My kids have solemnly clapped whenever Clinton gains some votes and shake their heads in disbelief as Trump gets them. They’re all scared. They keep asking me what will happen to the Mexicans. I’ve had tears in my eyes for…

Thought of my daughter, who is non-binary.

White morality voters: I can’t live under a Trump Presidency but I didn’t want to vote for Hillary because she’s just as bad.
