Yeah I’m poor as fuck and my economic anxiety didn’t make me vote for a sexist, racist egomaniac.

Yeah, their remorse is predicated on the belief that they were gong to do all those bad things to other people, it wasn’t supposed to affect *them*. They were perfectly happy with other people not having equal wages, and perfectly happy with other people losing their benefits, and other people losing their jobs, and…

These people who say “you are only poor because you are lazy!” are directing it at POC. But then they blame POC for stealing their jobs.

Absolutely! Especially when Trump and his impending administration have been as transparent as they’ve been. Before the election, Trump was quite obvious what he was all about. The Republican party hasn’t exactly been cool about their agenda either. This shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone.

And pretend that the only Trump voters were white working class people who are feeling economic anxiety, ignoring the studies that found Trump voters have an average income of around $70,000 (don’t remember the exact figure) and test higher for racial and gender bias.

And they use the argument that “saying people are racists is MEAN!”

Same. They have been victim-blaming people since FOREVER (“you are only poor because you are lazy! BOOTSTRAPS!!!” “you wouldn’t have been raped if you had been more careful” “they bully you because you just act too different and paint a target on yourself, have you tried not being queer?” etc etc etc), so why the fuck…

It’s hard to muster much sympathy for the people who did this to themselves when everyone else is going to suffer just as much.

Even some of the highlighted tweets are complaining about Trump showing some sliver of humanity. I have no sympathy for them. I’ve said it on my facebook several times and I’ll say it probably for at least four more years: Supporting Trump doesn’t make you a bigot, xenophobic, misogynistic, or anything else like that,…

Seriously. You think you can bring back coal and well-paying manufacturing jobs and live in a time when black people weren’t so angry and you didn’t know Muslims existed, but I’m the one that lives in a bubble? Nah. Go back to living in the sad Bon Jovi B-side that is your life, and I’m going to get to fucking work.

They think they aren’t bigots because they don’t believe they feel direct hatred toward a minority.
What they fail to understand is that by voting bigots into power, they are as responsible for the injustice that occurs to minorities as the people actually committing them.

but but...white working class people! we need to help them get their non-existent factory jobs back!

I can never decide if the ones who voted for him because of the bigotry are the bigger assholes or the ones who just couldn’t be bothered to care about bigotry because it didn’t have an immediate impact on their lives are. I’m leaning towards they all deserve to suffer these next 4 years in the same hell they…

Trump was literally endorsed by the KKK during the election. The only Trump supporters I have any sympathy for are the ones who somehow didn’t know that.

So, I realize that most Trump voters may not identify themselves as bigots but they are certainly bigot adjacent. So pardon me while I give no fucks to their sense of remorse now. I’m a little too busy trying to find a way to protect my friends, family and myself because of the empowered dick heads who think his win…

It’s like if you yell “The power of Christ compels you” at an exorcism. It should just works!

Speak for yourself. These people voted for Trump because, at the very least, they were willing to ignore rhetoric about stomping all over the Constitutional liberties of Muslims and hateful rhetoric about Latinos, immigrants, black people, women, and the list goes on and on.

I guess they believe if you chant “lock her up” long enough she will be jailed? Same goes for “drain the swamp” and “build the wall” I guess?

Yes, they can!

I really don’t get it. Nothing Trump promised was actually legit. Clinton didn’t do anything illegal. What could anyone have done to her? Even the FBI exonerated her (albeit with bullshit investigations and even too late). Are they really that shocked?! Can they be so dumb?
