We were all limping to the polls. No one had health insurance. It was horrific, Bush’s America. It was like a dark eighties comedy.

We all need more Dead Milkmen references.

True. About a decade ago I started noticing that the republicans were trying to make out like the Nazis were actual socialists.

I told my students the definition of fascism the other day and they said, “Isn’t that what we already have?” I’m sure many a right winger thinks government by corporations is a good thing. They worship money and think anyone who has it is a genius, after all.

I know how you feel. A shampoo bottle leaned toward me once, mid day, mid week, when I was 25 or so. I know I saw that. I wasn’t asleep and I wasn’t on drugs. I know I saw that.

Nicely told.

My husband was out on a run and saw a man watching him from a truck. He had the same sense as you that he was in the presence of pure evil. Two days later the guy walked into a coffee shop and murdered four cops.

I live in a 90 year old house. A few years ago my friend brought his new girlfriend over, and a few drinks into the night she starts telling me about all the ghosts she sees, everywhere really, but mainly in my house.

Sorry about what I’m about to tell you, but:

Not much competition in Washington’s eastern half.

Because fascism develops when language loses all meaning and we are in one such era.

My mom seethes with hatred for bogeyman Obama even after admitting he’s the reason my sister has health insurance.

#notallmen but all men cheat. Rudy is saying she’s too stupid to be president because she’s a woman

I think gaslighting is part of his general campaign strategy.

Not well. Lots of generational southern gothic disfunction burning its way through my family.

She got a text in the third person from his phone: “Jimmy passed away etc etc blah blah blah”

Mine was an eagle!

Yes and no. She divorced him ten years ago. Last week he texted her and told her he was dead at a made up funeral home.

I didn’t speak to my mom for a year afterwords. But now that I have an adult’s perspective and my own experience with abuse I wonder if he didn’t make a meal out of my leaving my coat at his house until he got her to call, gave her some pills, and set both of us up. I wonder if what I witnessed was a rape. My mom…

He manipulated my mom into it, probably told her it would be hot to be caught or something. I think really he married a woman with teen daughters for a reason. My sister lived with them and he would watch porn and masterbate in front of her and give her drugs. Grooming?
