Or as a TL;DR - Basically what you’re saying is that for four years, we have the opportunity to ruin an entire generation of people, worse if the Republicans somehow retain control in 2020 and beyond.

Also related/unrelated question: How do you combat the revisionism that will come with the Trump Presidency? They’re making up their own facts as they go along, and for a lack of a better phrase, they will basically have the Dept of Ed by the balls.

And oh boy, do not ever bring up the topic of “Southern Strategy” either... *sigh*

The one that really gets me is “if you did a little RESEARCH and knew your HISTORY you’d know that it was the REPUBLICANS who defeated slavery and the DEMOCRATS who founded the KKK!” Which is just painful for me to listen to because 1) the people who regurgitate this point got it from Breitbart, not reading historical…

Someone used Mandela in the same way at me recently; the whole “peaceful resistance why can’t BLM be like him?!” I was just...seriously?! What bullshit did they teach you at school?!

They did back in the day. It’s funny to me that when white people read the history and fail to understand that MLK was not popular during his lifetime and was shunned by the majority of white people. If you read the press coverage then it’sno different that what you read about BLM. Many people who were alive then who…

THIS all day.

I think there are two different types of Trump voters.

Psst...they are actually racist! And sexist and xenophobic and homophobic too! “Make America Great Again” really means “Make America White Again”!

I’m not sure how “I have no problem supporting someone who ran on a campaign of violent racism because violent racism doesn’t have any effect on me personally” is different than “I don’t care about violent racism.”

So one group is a bunch of nazis and the other is a bunch of nazi supporters. Fuck them both, they don’t deserve any special consideration.

Preach. I would bet a majority of those “well Dr. King said...” people don’t even know about the first 15 min of his March on Washington speech before the “I have a dream” part. One of my favorite parts is how he said they’ve come to cash the check about the promises of America but America had given black people a bad…

White people busting out King like they aren’t the reason we needed him the first place. And like they aren’t the reason he’s dead. Fuck them.

It’s amazing how many people think “I am in favor of violence and discrimination against everyone who isn’t white” is fundamentally different than — and infinitely superior to — “I just don’t care about violence and discrimination against everyone who isn’t white.”

These people would call MLK a terrorist if he was alive today. But he’s been dead for 50 years and all they know about him is the “I have a dream” speech, which they believe is fundamentally equivalent to their declarations that they don’t see color. So he’s not only “safe,” invoking him reinforces their racism while…

I make it my mission to make sure I insult a Trump or Stein voter at least once a day. I make no apologies for it and shall continue with my mission. I feel fucking fantastic about it too!

Oh my god, this.

Jeffrey Zucker told him to shut the fuck up or find another network.

“Jones’s vision of love suggests blindness, endless patience and a great deal of emotional labor on the part of people who are already exhausted. It puts the onus on us to prove we are worthy of compassion and justice.”

Fuck a love army. This isn’t a game. This isn’t just about words. This is about our lives, our rights, our safety.
