Anyone who says this isn’t straight up fascism, is a straight up fascist themselves. Our right to peacefully assemble, which means anything short of actually smashing shit up, is guaranteed by our 1st amendment constitutional rights. Don’t think for a second that this law will not be used by a federal agency at some…

Are Toby Keith and White America in scare quotes because you’re implying they don’t actually exist? Because Toby Keith is frighteningly real, my friend. His music has terrorized ears for years.

What I took away from it is that we’re only allowed to be dissatisfied with one thing at a time, and one thing only!

My god the next four years are going to be a fuckfest.

Gee, the one unifying theme in all these was a dislike and mistrust of Hillary. Something much of the left agrees with. Someone remind me why the DNC pretty much anointed her as the nominee again?

Absolutely. The world and your mom had that in common, I heard.

Honestly, I’m right there with you. Were it not for the fact that the next 4 years will fuck over women, people of color, immigrants, and the LBGT community, I’d be more than happy to kick back and watch the rural white working class that elected this lunatic get exactly what they voted for, good and hard.

We’re seriously seeing facism take root. I can’t even fully process this.

What’s really profound is that the system in question was never codified as law. It’s just “how it’s been done.” By the actual rules of the electoral college, they could go in there on the 19th and elect Bob Dole or Al Gore if they felt like it.

The rules are the rules

His argument is totally sound: the electoral college was set up to deny the will of the people if the people vote for a lunatic. It was not set up for the sake of smaller states or some other nonsense I have read. The Founding Fathers(tm) didn’t trust voters. The FFs also didn’t want direct election of u.s. Senators.…

anything that erodes Trump’s credibility, mandate and authority—even a little—gets a vaguely helpless nod / desperate thumbs up combo from me.

Newsflash; people who can’t tell they’ve been conned surprised when it turns out they’ve been conned.

Except that he promised to visit Pakistan. Which actually is an important diplomatic act. Obama refused to visit Pakistan to show his discontent with the inability of their leaders to control the Taliban and their continued aggressive acts towards india. Did he consciously mean to reverse long-standing US foreign…

Othello or Aladdin?

Calling someone a Nazi as a blatant insult is wrong. Calling someone a Nazi because they are a Nazi is fine. Just like calling someone a Nazi apologist when that is what they are is fine. See, you for example, are a Nazi apologist, and that’s not me insulting you, it’s a statement of fact, so its fine.

That’s not true. Only some of them are Nazis, most of them are Nazi apologists and Nazi supporters. I think it’s important we label them correctly so that it’s harder for them to defend themselves.

You are in denial about the fact that these are fascists; this is the rise of American Fascism. Here is a definition of fascism.

“Remember that we just spent 8 years listening to the right call Obama and everyone near him a Nazi”

First, I am a woman. Second,
