It’s pretty much because we have these advancements that we have Trump. His supporters are the ones raging against the social progress the rest of us celebrate.

I am fairly certain there are million out there blowing a gasket about them “shoving transgender down our throats.” I mean, you remember how they railed about a fucking interracial Cheerios commercial. They’re still out there, just people are deciding to ignore them and keep rolling.

Wow that’s seriously traumatic. I’m sorry you had to leave a job you liked because of that douche nozzle.

No lie, my former boss was against marriage equality, against LGBT clubs in schools, and told me that his children couldn’t be gay because he “raised them right.” When I suggested these were hateful and homophobic remarks, he responded that he couldn’t be homophobic “because he watched Modern Family.”

The death-rattle of bigotry. (I mostly believe this and desperately hope it.)

LGBTQ acceptance comes with a backlash, those against it support Trump because his official position is Marriage is between a man and a woman (and a number of mistresses).

i get the sinking feeling that having a gay interracial family on national tv is why America Ain’t That Great No More and needs to be Made Great Again Somehow For Reasons Like My Testicles

That’s because the homosexual Muslim Jews who run Hollywood don’t represent real, hard-working white Americans.

It really blows my mind where we can have a successful tv show with openly gay characters and now a transgender character and yet we have Trump neck in neck with Hillary. It seems very incongruous.

It’ll be a cold day in hell when we can know that for sure. The NRA will do everything in its power to block federal research on gun violence. I wonder why...

Oh, and on the morning of the debate I have no intention of watching! Can’t wait for Trump to issue platitudes on toughness! We gotta get tough, people. If we’re not tough, how are we going to keep people who have an individual right to own and carry guns from deciding to use those guns without warning or provocation?…

But no pressure cookers, so iit’s all good. Srsly, why??? What is the deal with guns? Does all of america have a tiny penis? They make trashy red cars for that, guys!

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. I never said anything about the guns themselves, I specifically said the abundance and the ease of purchase of guns. You’re literally arguing a point I didn’t make when I technically agree with you. lol

This is something my brother can’t understand. I am more scared of an angry white man who has been fired/denied a date/some random reason than a Muslim. My uncle thinks the Muslims are coming to behead our school children (Yes, something he actually told me when I was ‘discussing’ this with him) but won’t answer to…

Meanwhile in the UK, we’ve had 1 mass shooting in the 19 years since the laws were updated to ban handguns. That mass shooting was 6 years ago.

A new gun “superstore” opened here on Saturday... The traffic was horrendous, their giant parking lot was completely full & people were parked in any available parking areas up & down the street, running across the busy-ish highway to get to and from the store. Living in the south in a super gun-friendly state is…

Meanwhile, my family’s facebook feed:

Another day, another spree shooting in the land of the scared and home of the sheltering in place. It happens so often it barely even qualifies as news now. I think we are fast approaching a point where a run of days without one is now more noteworthy. We need a counter that is “X days without a murderous shooting…

Abundance + ease of purchase + XY = another day, another shooting. If the shooter’s someone “deportable,” I guarantee Trumpy’s saying something. If not, then something something something, #MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAINAGAIN

And remember kids, more guns will totally help the situation. [starts drinking in the morning again]
