What’s the over under on how many journalists from the White House Press Pool will have their credentials rescinded in favor of crony alt-right “journalists”?

Are we really surprised about this behavior from the media that gave him millions in free advertising and ‘legitimized’ him as a candidate in his supporters’ eyes.
Y’all, this is the scary part. The part where thinking that the racist, fascist rapist is ok becomes normalized because now he’s in power. The part where privileged folks who seemed like alright people and were anti-Trump make their standing very clear by becoming Trump apologists and telling us “he’s not so bad. we…
Huffington Post *did* put that on their articles. Since his election they’ve stopped, apparently we’ve got to pretend the past never happened and start over with a blank piece of paper.
These craven, gutless, two-faced sycophants. I didn’t really think I could ever feel invested enough to be mad at People magazine, but this is whole new level of shameful right here. Goddamned shit-eating cowards.
I think you’re giving both “everyone” and “history” way too much credit. Evil has always been banal in this country, Trump - and the normalization of him -is a continuation of this sad tradition.
The Obama coalition stayed home. We were down over 200k votes in WI and MI. So. This is a nightmare of unrivaled proportions. And it wasn’t just brought to you by white supremacists. It was brought to you by the young voters who didn’t show, the POC who didn’t show, all of the ones who didn’t show. Hillary failed to…
It’s an alien invasion movie without the battle,” one of the film’s producers, Shawn Levy, told io9.
I wouldn’t get too hopeful there. The state Democratic parties are a disaster that it’s unlikely that shit will dramatically improve by 2020 even if we get to work tomorrow. Hillary’s loss is unlikely to help on that front, because the cause of Democratic losses at the state level have little to do with what’s…
I’m so sorry about all of this.
But let’s not place blame squarely on white people. Yes, only about 42 percent of them voted for Clinton....but only about 43 percent voted for Obama (this is obviously terrible, of course).
The black vote went 88 percent Clinton, but went 93 for Obama.
The Latinx vote went 71 percent for…
It was also black and Latino men, 20% + 30% for Trump. The misogyny is stronger than water.
The Republicans have a full majority in every single branch of government at almost every single level.
Post mortem, I think we need to take stock of ourselves.
If this election, along with the Brexit vote and the 2015 British election, has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t do shit (politically speaking) without the support of middle-of-the-road white people. You can’t advance feminist causes without wining over men and women who aren’t self-identified feminists. You…
Shut the fuck up. He won by less than a million votes, hardly a fucking mandate. He won because lazy fucking democrats didn’t get off their fucking asses or wanted to make a “statement.” This isn’t pushback, this is catching a break.
Not a US Citizen, so don’t take me for a voter, but assuming those Johnson votes would have largely gone to Clinton is illogical.
I’ll offer this ray of hope. Probably won’t get out of the greys, but it’s worth saying.
Bad job USA. VERY bad job.
The image of Clinton, or even anyone, having to call and concede to and congratulate Trump on becoming president, is going to fucking haunt me.
Bernie supporters never stood by Bernie Sander’s policies. They just wanted to vote a white man into office.
