I am considering a move to DC so that I can be in the center of everything. I am currently a social studies teacher so I’d like to continue teaching, and then just dedicate every second of my free time to volunteering for PACs and interest groups and any organizations working for immigrant rights, reproductive rights,…

So, thanks to the Trump coup, I’m thinking of selling my house and renting for a few years. Zillow has this place valued a good deal higher than it was when I bought it, and if they’re more or less right (they may not be, in which case this will be entirely moot), I could live on the equity for a good few years or…

Absolutely. We need to obstruct this man and his agenda in any way we can, at every single turn, and the campaign to win back the Congress and local offices starts today.

I am terrified of what Trump, the Senate, Congress, and the Supreme Court are going to do in the long-term.

*Cracks knuckles*

My neighbor and I were discussing whether we should call the cops on people celebrating with the confederate flag and bottle rockets, but since some of the local police endorsed Trump we are legitimately scared. Someone in the neighborhood association that works with the police told me I was “asking for it” when my…

I’ve seen a report of up 8 suicides and additional attempts by trans youth in the past 24 hours.

The worst part is that the Democratic Party has, essentially, ceased to exist with this election. I realize there were some bright spots, but Obama is stepping down, Hilary isn’t going to be the leader, and who are the stars of the Democratic Party now?

Yup. People feeling emboldened enough to drive around Atlanta waving the confederate flag, honking, and shooting bottle rockets/fireworks out of the back of pickup trucks.

And that’s going to get worse by a factor of a thousand, at least, now the GOP controls all three branches of government and the majority of states. There’s a very real possibility that they will be able to permanently disenfranchise enough people that violently racist, misogynistic white people will choose our…

I wish America success. I won’t be stupid enough to assume that Trump’s success and America’s success are even close to being the same. Lord knows America needs it at this point.

Trump is Professor Quirrel and Pence is the Voldemort tumor growing out of the back of his head. The guy is a full-blown nutjob that makes Ted Cruz look reasonable. 

I am a lot more frightened of a Pence presidency than I am of a Trump presidency. Trump doesn’t know how to do any of this. Pence knows how to get laws passed.

I will have nothing but a giant middle finger for anyone that suggests we “need to put aside our differences and come together as a country.” NO. FUCK YOU. We aren’t divided on tax code or trade deal details. These are assholes who literally want to force me to carry out a pregnancy I might get from being raped, these…

Pence is very much the reason I wish him adequate health and only the average amount of treatable inconveniences a person may experience. If I wanted theocracy, there are countries yet to choose from.

Either he will buckle under the weight of his incompetence and look to them to dictate policy, or his massive ego will force him to stick to his guns and muddle through.

Even if he does tone it down, so much damage is done. He has galvanized white supremacists, he has shown that misogyny from an elected official is fine, has cause untold anxiety and stress, and created a hostile environment for so many people. You cannot undo that. Plus the long term effects of a conservative…

Yes, this is the bargaining stage and no, Donald trump is the worst actor in the world and you are about to see things happen that have never happened in this country before.  

I think the hope is that he will quickly realize that he is out of his league and will cede most of the actual governing to Pence and his advisors - who will not be good by any means, but at least they’re politicians who are unlikely to nuke Europe or something like that. The campaign trail is a circus - and Trump is…

I have no doubt Trump was bullshitting the base. The problem is Pence, Ryan and the rest of the Republican elite. The nightmare isn’t Trump, it’s that they now have free reign.
