I've never personally encountered any such screeching to a general population. Now, when someone says or does something actively racist or bigoted, yeah. But this idea that we sit around in our craft coffee houses laughing at the rednecks is just not reality. This false stereotype has been weaponized by the right to…

I think most voters truly don't believe they are racist or voting for racist reasons. But I also think subconsciously the wheels of racism are turning in ways they don't even understand themselves.

He's a businessman! It has business right in the title!

Looking at who is up for election in 2018 doesn't bode well for a D wave though. Unless Trump truly does torpedo the country, which is likely enough.

I've read probably a dozen think pieces since the election. After hearing about their economic plight and feeling forgotten, I often find myself about to come around to understanding them and thinking of ways to bridge the gap. Then I remember they voted for a fucking racist who offered no actual plans for anything…

Which did…absolutely nothing.

"We need to stop this PC nonsense and call things what they are!"
"You just endorsed racism."
"Stop being so mean to us!"

The DNC did not nominate anyone. The voters in the Democratic primary nominated someone. You can say they voted for the wrong person if you like, but she was the clear winner. This false narrative that she was forced on the public by some evil operatives is bullshit.

You'd be hard pressed to find one day any of these films aren't on cable. Universal Studios theme parks across the globe have built four Harry Potter lands in the last six years. What exactly would an appropriately rated franchise look like?

Isn't that exactly the case with Star Wars?

I got a cannabis vape pen specifically because the idea of a Trump presidency was causing crippling anxiety. And this way back when I was still 70% sure Hillary would win.

A racist will just use a bunch of racial slurs. A mega racist will vote against their own self interest just to stick it to minorities.

Five Thirty Eight and AV Club is where I waste probably 95% of my work day. It took me far too long to realize that you were posting in both places, because I started to think I was losing my mind seeing you everywhere. When I saw your name in the NYT article about Comey I was honestly briefly concerned about my…

All you have to do is get out of your bubble and listen to their economic concerns. And also accept all of their racist beliefs, in the name of unity.

Or just a way to encourage people to not be complete assholes.

But man, I really hope it is!

No.

The majority of Trump voters were women and POC? What the fuck are you talking about?

Universal healthcare was on the ballot in CO this year, hardly a deep red state, and had 79% of the population vote against it. You and I might want that, but middle America isn't voting for that,

Yep, we should definitely tell minorities to go fuck themselves because it's not politically helpful enough.
