The Republicans have a full majority in every single branch of government at almost every single level.

I’m hoping that someone from Jez writes on this and what it means and says about white women and feminism. White women pushing Trump over the top cannot be ignored in favor of blaming third party voters. If this is the feminist intellectual site it pretends to be sometimes, we need a feminist introspective.

Don’t be so quick to let women off the hook. White women anyway.

It’s women, too. It is the scary amount of women who voted for Trump. It’s America. It’s racism against the uppity non-whites and their allies and sexism, both outward and internalized.

Always thought I’d see fascism come to America in a cool way. Like Nazis from the moon descending to earth in giant swastika-shaped spaceships or maybe shock troops from Russia parachuting into my high school like the villains in Red Dawn.

It depends what you mean by “America”. Americans with life threatening conditions who lose their insurance may very well NOT survive this. Americans who have their status in this country challenged may very well NOT thrive. American kids who get shot as a result of a “stop and frisk” gone wrong will NOT grow.

Yes, we’ve had terrible elected leaders in the past—but the country didn’t just “survive” as if by magic. It survived and thrived in the aftermath of Jackson, Buchanan, Johnson, Harding, and Hoover because people were committed to working collectively to bring the country back from the brink and then move it forward.…

None of those guys had access to nuclear weapons.

Except not everybody survived. And what was the cost? Where might the world be if all those shitty things hadn’t happened? If America simply existing is the goal, I guess it’s hard to lose. I’d think most people would want to aim a little higher.

James Buchanan? Whose Presidency preceeded the Civil War?

Well, in that case, get better at this, America. Jesus.

Bush showed some kind of respect for the institutions that the US is built on.

America will. There are vulnerable people here who might not.

I’m starting to think these chemtrail conspiracy theorists are right. Americans have to be being poisoned right? It’s brain damage. It has to be!

You ask me, supporting a racist rapist who has zero policies and only stokes bigotry and hatred makes someone a pretty terrible person. But, then again, I’m a queer woman whose friends are largely women, queer folks, and POCs. You know, the people Trump and his followers hate and plan to punish for existing.

No, fuck you for pushing that “both cadidates are bad” nonsense. That’s why we’re in this situation.

NO. Sorry, but no. This is not Hillary Clintons fault. This is the fault of the people who voted for Donald Trump in spite of every monstrous thing he’s said and done for the past 50 years, and of anyone who didn’t take it seriously or thought it couldn’t happen. This is the fault of anyone who doesn’t know shit about…

Look no further than my home state Florida... Johnson is getting 200+k votes while Hillary is losing by less than 140+k votes as I type this. I am seething at the holier-than-thou, protest-voting pieces of shit that can’t or refuse to realize that voting for leader of the free world is not picking your bff but…

I was so not prepared for this. Not even remotely ready. You know where my head was at four hours ago? I was on cloud nine about going on alt-right Twitter and witnessing the meltdown with their conspiracy theories and blaming the Jews. Now this is real. I can’t stomach this shit.
