Tertiary q: why does this man look like alt-right Jon Snow

Since Jane who very much is an ignorant slut dismissed my comment, I’ll repost it here:

I would not be looking forward to anything involving the word “fallout” for the next four years.

There once was a fool from Manhattan

Donald Trump managed to parlay an existing family fortune and his father’s network of connections into a successful real estate empire and a larger family fortune, which he nearly lost due to his own mismanagement. He undoubtedly has some business talent which he displayed in the 70's and 80's. But he also

Interestingly enough, while he’s in there, Trump is also picking up his cellphone, even for unidentified callers

He’s tweeting, he’s occasionally visiting the two restaurants he likes, and he literally doesn’t get outside even to glimpse the sun:

The white people who are saying this to you are idiots, but I can tell you from experience that racist white people do not listen to normal white people either. They don’t listen to anyone except for the blowhards in their echo chambers. I completely agree with Duvernay. There is no point in engaging with these

She’s not wrong. The onus is on white people to pick up the slack, educate, and come collect their own trash. It’s unreasonable and cruel to ask POC to keep explaining and defending their humanity to oppressors.

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

Fuck, they’ll be showing up at our work FOR YEARS, just wanting “to talk.”

The gap between Obama, a true scholar, a man of unwavering integrity, hope, a profound sense of what the word justice means, (see his nonviolent crime drug related charges pardons) and then the comparison to the vile filthy, racist, mysoginist, that makes a living off shorting anyone and everybody that he ever met.

The free market is saying that demand is low for inauguration tickets? Too bad the free market lost big and has been failing for years - check the ratings! The free market is a Hillary flunky and one of the most over-rated markets ever. Now part of the dishonest media. Sad!

If that doesn’t sway how about preventing a pandemic. Letting Aids spiral out of control might kill the “undesirables” but there’s a greater chance it’ll mutate into something that kills faster and is as contagious as a cold.

To stick it to the liberal nigger president. That’s all it’s about. That’s all it’s ever been about. They’ll let 30 million people die or go broke tying to stay alive before they ever let a black man get credit for helping America. I hate them all and wish nothing but death and suffering on all of them and their

No liquor in my house, so that’s not an option. When I get depressed I read Steven Pinker’s Better Angels of Our Nature. I think it’s important to remember that while humanity may never be entirely rid of our baser instincts, we will also never be rid of our desire for justice. There will always be people who have

The raw truth of it is that we all pay for social services— either we pay for it up-front, or we pay for the fallout when people have no alternatives. I would rather fund breakfast programs than prisons.

humanitarian aid to African countries was like the ONE thing W. got right.

This. I can’t explain why the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is a good thing if things like, oh, “improved life expectancy in developing countries”, “fewer orphans” and “fewer babies born with HIV” don’t sway you.

People keep asking me why these things bother me so much, and why we should keep doing things like send aid or provide healthcare, and it’s seriously like, “I literally cannot explain to you how not to be asshole. Because that’s what this is, your gross inability to care for other people.”
