Agreed and that was my point. Saying “i support what Lebron is doing in the community” is nothing. It certainly doesn’t address what trump actually said. It’s just a pointless offering to avoid being seen as political.

Oh boy. Yeah, that’s rough. A lot of my family are trump supporters who think higher education is a liberal conspiracy... so I can relate to familial tensions.

Lebron took a stance Michael’s PR person took the safest position possible. You people don’t know how to read.

I don’t care. Fuck her and fuck Michael Jordan too. Neither one of them “took a stance”.

Oh, definitely. If anything his posturing and language left some folks feeling downright invigorated. What a terrible mistake to assume that most people are decent when in fact all the closet racists were just waiting to be freed.

I don’t know how this happened. Certainly dems were cocky and I suppose Hillary could have campaigned harder in some states but overall she ran a solid campaign. Post election there was a lot of talk and middle America and white rural voters feeling left behind but that’s bullshit imo. I think trumps narrative and…

I love your commitment to the rouse! 

Those were the days!

We’ll always have YouTube I guess. I’m sorry about your friend. That’s really disappointing.

Ugh, 2004. I was so convinced that there was no possible way folks would be dumb enough to re-elect Bush. That should have been my first clue that people are super easily convinced to vote against there own self interests.

That’s fantastic 

Thank you. 

For sure. There has always been an ebb and flow and I can certainly appreciate that but I think maybe 2016 broke the pendulum.

Yup. All of this. I was watching the Daily Show and I got too nervous and turned the tv off. A few moments later, my whole neighborhood erupted in celebration and I knew we’d won. It’s a lovely memory.

Oh my gosh, me too. Michelle’s reaction makes me laugh every time!

Definitely a wonderful memory. It’s funny because I was traveling in 2016 and I had to start telling people I was Canadian so they’d stop asking about trump. 

I can’t even handle this. I cry every time I hear a speech or see a photo. It feels stupid but I turned 18 in time to vote (and campaign) for obama in 2008. It was such a monumental and inspiring moment when he won, just really incredible. It felt like we were accomplishing something spectacular. I never felt so much…

Of for fucks sake. Just put this fool in jail forever already. “I was only kind of trying to rape her” Is not an acceptable legal defense. it’s absolutely appalling, utterly dumb, and offensive to victims of sexual assault.

It’s been really nice not having Taylor Swift around lately but good luck is bound to run dry eventually!

I know it’s been said already but trump is such a staggering idiot. I mean  just unbelievably incredibly, astoundingly dumb.
