And let’s contemplate for a moment that CBS/60 Minutes had him on tape for several days asking his followers to cool it, but sat on that comment. I mean, it was a pretty weak statement from him, but *still*.

How is half of such an advanced country so hell-bent on going back to the 18th century?

Oh, you think there’ll actually be press conferences?

You’re stupid, America.

Are we done giving him a chance yet?

Ashley, I know you probably take a lot of shit over your work here, so I wanted to tell you I have started to deliberately check Deadspin when something like this breaks, knowing that your article will both appropriately reinforce my horror and commiserate with it. You’re great. Fuck anyone who tells you otherwise…

Yeah, you could do that, troll. The difference is nobody will read it and nobody cares about you.

If their values are centered on racism, white supremacy, bigotry, and homophobia I couldn’t care less how undervalued they feel. I’m not going to try to empathize with my oppressors and it’s disgusting for people to be suggesting this is what I need to do.

They’re happy throw tantrums about red cups and happy holidays.

The safety pin thing bugs me because on the it’s surface it seems like a good idea, but I’ve already seen it start to backfire. It didn’t take long for Etsy stores to sell $5.00 pins for profit, it turned into who has the best pin selfie on tumblr, the Alt-Right co-opted it, and it feels emptier than those yellow…

I’ll treat President Trump with the same respect the Republicans treated President Obama and their willingness to unify. How’s that for fair?

I’m trying but with each day I’m more afraid. I grew up in North Idaho, I know this behavior. Even in the liberal Seattle area the subtle intimidation has started.

I’ll be completely honest: As a young Black woman, I am not sure I want to fight back.. These people are disenfranchised, uneducated, unreasonable and THEY GOT THE GUNS! Like, I’ll be over here, silent in the corner, hoping I don’t get killed by a redneck/cop/redneck cop over the next 4 years, y’all.

And im not looking for support. I just want you to know what it feels like.

Yesterday I went out and was super paranoid. Today is no different. I want to fight back but this is a spectacularly painful blow. I feel betrayed by my neighbors even. Its hard when you arent in a big metropolitan city like NYC and youre a POC in a small white suburb. The threat is so much larger. Ugh. I am so…

Are you me? Because...yeah. Same boat. There was a protest in my city today, and I wanted to go, but instead I spent the whole day in bed hiding under the covers. I keep hoping that at some point the part of me that let me survive all the shit I’ve been through will assert itself and I’ll be able to fight back and…

Ugggghhh. I already had to HOLD MY NOSE to vote for Hillary. How many sacrifices do I have to make??? I need to trim my mustache.

My mom, sister and I are going. I’ll be the one holding a sign that says “Rape Survivor, Trump Denier.”

Bring an axe just in case...

I’m going to build a wormhole generator to escape into a better universe. Who wants to fund my generator and/or come with me?
