The saddest, scariest and/or most bizarre thing about all of this, depending on who you talk to is the more time passes and we see Trump handle himself as the next president the more Conan’s running sketch of “candid calls” between Obama and Trump feel like they could actually be real.

He’s not the only Republican just finding out what his job entails....

it’d be nice if anyone actually gave a shit though.

Or they are doing their jobs speaking for their constituents? 

On the education of kids with special needs:

His whole adult life has been a staged fucking event.

“He has not been a person to do staged events for the sake of doing staged events.”

We understand their perspective! Quit using that tired, broken cliche.

Maybe they should blame Congress for the lack of hope & change, as they see it.

I’m sorry?

Sorry, but I grew up in a solidly red county. A very affluent, conservative county in NY. I got the “perspective” of those Trump voters when I was bullied for being brown and being from a mixed family. Those same people are the ones who are now writing hateful, racist posts all over Facebook. I should not have to…

There is some flawed idea that if we just tried to understand, we would magically agree and be on the same side. I pride myself in honestly trying to understand the other side. I work with republicans, I am friends with republicans. I engage with them and try to learn more. Some of it I agree with, some of it I don’t.…

They’re not all racists.

I understand that sexism, racism, xenophobia, incompetence, and corruption were not deal breakers for them, whether or not they personally carry those qualities themselves.

If they weren’t racist, sexist, cruel-spirited, or greedy themselves, they were willing to vote for somebody who clearly is. Obviously, those traits are not repugnant to them, and they see that sort of person as being a fine fit for the Presidency. That makes those people just as bad, and certainly complicit.

There are two types of people who voted for Trump: people who are racist, and people who do not care about racism (i.e., those who say they voted for him for other reasons discounting that), and honestly, the latter is just as disgusting as the former. There is no justification.

You can stick out your hand and get it slapped back so many times before you need to say “fuck it.” Those are supposedly functioning, thinking people. It’s well past the time they should see that they’re voting against their own interest in some cases. If they want to change course, the others will welcome them. But…

Trump supporters have been interviewed about why they were voting for him.

What is there worth trying to understand and engage with about people who, at best, have signaled they are okay with racism and bigotry?

America spends most of it’s time eating the ass of Trump voters and have for some time. Just look at our election cycle, it begins in Iowa and New Hampshire (the Iowa of the NE)... White flyover state voters have a higher median income than “liberal enclave voters” and nearly every cable channel is devoted to the…
