Hell yes, and don’t forget the veterans groups, each led by a Native American woman vet, who showed up to protect the water defenders. Now that is fucking American. Fuck these corporate, fossil fuel, fuck-the-environment bastards.

What I think of is Gone Girl. In one scene Ben Affleck’s character is supposed to wear a Yankees cap. Affleck doesn’t like the Yankees. He refused. Production shut down for four days while the director got on the phone with Affleck’s lawyers and agents and whatnot trying to get an actor to wear a hat. And that…

The problem with many poor white people is that they refuse to acknowledge that they are actually poor. Which is why they repeatedly vote against their own interests. Then they want to point the blame at everyone other than themselves when things continue to not work out for them. When their food stamps get taken…

For all the talk about the liberal “bubble”, that bubble is thin enough to actually see through and even burst. The bubble these people live in is made of cast iron. It’s completely opaque, nothing goes through it, and it’s one of the mosresistant things you’ll find.

And frankly, I’m sick of people blaming Trump’s win on ‘poor disaffected whites’ -- white people of every stripe, educational level and financial status voted for him in droves.

Congitive dissonance. Bob thinks he’s the one good exception to the rule of “needy tax leaches” and thought he’d be protected.

They think they aren’t bigots because they don’t believe they feel direct hatred toward a minority.
What they fail to understand is that by voting bigots into power, they are as responsible for the injustice that occurs to minorities as the people actually committing them.

I have no sympathy for people who voted for Trump, at all—I have sympathy for their children. I have *extra* anger for Trump voters on behalf of their children. Whatever the reverse of sympathy is, that’s what I have. Pure contempt and withering judgment, maybe.

No, he’s also going to install supreme court judges who keep women from getting abortions and who support voter suppression laws.

That’s the thing, these people stuck to their echo chambers like Breitbart where those sites actively did not post anything negative about Trump. It was 24/7 pro-Trump. Even now, it’s still like this. Go to it. Do you think they have any posts about Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin’s criticism about Trump? Nope. Because…

“Let’s face it, he’s going to look out for corporations, to make things work for them, to bring jobs back home,” Terry said. “And as things trickle down — as they’re going to because it’s America — the little guy will get something, too.”

So, I realize that most Trump voters may not identify themselves as bigots but they are certainly bigot adjacent. So pardon me while I give no fucks to their sense of remorse now. I’m a little too busy trying to find a way to protect my friends, family and myself because of the empowered dick heads who think his win…

On the one hand, I do feel a smidge of pity for some of these people. On the other, fuck them. I’m a poor white person who needs change too, but I’m also neither a bigot nor a fucking idiot so I’m really over the “poor white people just wanted change!” narrative. It feels patronizing and infantalizing. The only people…

Like Trump himself, for starters.

Gee, if only there was someone, anyone, who could have warned them repeatedly that Trump was going to screw them and the rest of the country over...

They got what they voted for. He was never going to build a wall. He was never going to lock up Clinton. He was never going to create jobs. He was never going to end the pay gap for women.The only thing he was going to do was likely going to take part in the GOP desire to take away Medicare.

Speak for yourself. These people voted for Trump because, at the very least, they were willing to ignore rhetoric about stomping all over the Constitutional liberties of Muslims and hateful rhetoric about Latinos, immigrants, black people, women, and the list goes on and on.

Long shots of the recent Trump “thank you” rally showed the venue to be half-empty. How quickly fades the bloom on an orange, racist rose. He’s gonna need a Reichstag attack to keep his followers sufficiently crazed.

I really don’t get it. Nothing Trump promised was actually legit. Clinton didn’t do anything illegal. What could anyone have done to her? Even the FBI exonerated her (albeit with bullshit investigations and even too late). Are they really that shocked?! Can they be so dumb?
