I have two immediate reactions to this article. The first one is, “GOOD.” The second is, “ racist ‘undertones?’ ”

I am too... I wish I had more comfort and better answers. *hugs*

Yes. I can honestly say this is the best thing I’ve heard all week.

*HUGS* I’m scared too. I think sharing that with each other is important.

You hit the nail on the head. *applause*

I agree with every single word you’ve said, but - as I’m sure you know - the situation is much more complicated than modern conservatives feeling they have no alternative party choices. The amount of conservatives today that value regressive beliefs and values above facts and compassion is staggering. There is an…

We are in agreement then! I didn’t necessarily think you believed that, I was just refuting the idea itself. Of course, you are correct. We can’t afford to underestimate the Trump administration nor his supporters - particularly in times like these.

Yes, I have no doubt that Bannon is intelligent and you have a point about the great education opportunities for the rich. What I am questioning is the idea that because someone is rich, it follows that they are also smart. A lot of people think that way - that success means superiority - and it’s not as universally…

Dear Scared Shitless,

What a creep show. Her callousness and obliviousness truly underscores her belief that (other) women are men’s playthings - and we should be so lucky if they are good to their “dolls.” I wonder if she would have the same response to people who are robbed, murdered, conned, etc.

“Smart” is highly debatable in many cases, but I hear what you’re saying and I understand. All the same, I’m not feeling overly-charitable towards someone with so little charity to spare others.

She’s a conventionally attractive, white, well-off, right wing woman. What’s she really got to lose from humoring Trump and his cronies? I’d ask my fellow white women why more of them choose who they’ll support with conscience, but I learned this election that 53% of those who voted don’t have one. “Deplorable,”…

I love Shrek and all, but it always kind of bothered me how obviously they modeled the “hideous ogres” after heavily built or overweight human beings. Again, I love Shrek and don’t think this was intended to harm. It always felt careless to me though.

Agreed. It’s clear Melania doesn’t really understand politics and I’m assuming she doesn’t plan on being very involved. She’s just going along with her husband. Yet, “progressive” and “liberal” people are attacking her most unkindly. While I understand and agree with their frustration, it’s straight up misogyny to…

At long last, a Trump finally understands true oppression. [/sarcasm] Seriously though, bless those teens’ hearts.

Another (appalled and furious) white woman, weighing in the say that you are absolutely right. Even I don’t trust other white people when I go outside my home now. It’s awful even just shopping for groceries. You know what the most sickening part about my day to day life has been lately? White people are almost all…

While I agree with you, I can’t say I blame her. She is not going to make or break the coming administration’s reach. I’d want out too. In a way, it’s making a statement as she walks out the door. She’d rather resign than serve Trump’s interests - which her position would force her to do under him.

That is truly terrifying. This has all gone from doomsday scenario to hellscape in a week.

My first thought was, “well, of course he did.” Trump’s made every other idiotic decision he could possibly make. It’s still completely unbelievable - the whole thing!

OMG. I can’t unimagine it. Beautiful.
