I know. It’s hard to root for incompetence because that, too, will have a ton of consequences.

I’m definitely pessimistic in general, and expect him to have 8 years, but I think we are going to have to abandon patterns from before; he’s really just breaking molds. Like, who the fuck even knows.

She is a perfect example, you know? Like, this is LITERALLY it.

They’re all falling back in line. I have specifically looked to the Twitter and FB feeds of vocal conservative critics of Trump, and they all congratulated him and asked for unity.

There are dudes in there. I think you have to be invited by a friend who got invited (weird FB rules). But there are some men, for sure.

No.

I honestly think some of her shying away from public HAS to be rooted in not being able to stand up for him most of the time. I don’t think she wants to. It’s like sending your wife into a bar fight you started.

Conservative white fragility knows no bounds. It’s why they scream FREEDOM OF SPEECH! at you when you criticize them. It’s theirs - they can say what they want, but you don’t have free speech to criticize them.

I hope Ivanka and her serial killer faced pervert brothers are blackballed in business for the rest of their lives. Melania can die in a fire at this point. Save that young one, dude. Tiffany...who even knows about you.

I know. Pot and kettle indeed. Can you imagine if Trump was caught sexting underage girls? It would be explained away in a second - harmless, boys being boys, locker room behavior, etc. He really can do no wrong. I am convinced that once he dies, this movement with disintegrate back into disorganization.

I know - this was so tonedeaf. The images and stories that surround us throughout our lives color our views and feelings; when women are merely used as devices to further a man’s plot - whether that be existing to help him find himself, experiencing distress to show he is a hero, or experiencing violence to show the…

One thing that remains surprising about this election — although perhaps it shouldn’t be — is the number of people who fantasize openly and quite joyfully about someone violently harming Hillary Clinton.

I know. I am frequently on Hamno’s page, and I understand the theoretical desire to try to tie it to population, but the point was that smaller states wouldn’t be outvoted all the time. Honestly, a lot of people around here think that the only populations that matter are in huge liberal cities. You can say “fuck the…

“Plurality” is not “losing.”

I’m with you in theory, but you realize that means eliminating state representatives on the federal level, right? Because those guys in Nebraska aren’t going to want to have your (for example) New York representatives affecting them either.

Bingo. I am not sure what the solution is but hey, smug liberal city-dwellers who hate on everyone else: the rest of the country is fucking FEEDING you.

My husband maintains that no elected official should ever get consecutive terms. I realize that would mean some turnover and chaos, but I am NOT HAPPY that everyone elected spends half their term trying to get elected again. Presidents at least have a goddamn term limit!

Totally agree! I consider myself enlightened now :)

I tried to be the “cool girl” for a while. You’re correct; we cool girls get ahead by fucking over other women. It’s not our fault; we’re getting so much positive reinforcement via white males it’s hard to resist. Nevertheless, you’re right.

I wonder if part of the appeal is his city-ness. Like, they talk a big game about hating “urbans” but there are also a lot of people in the world who [mistakenly] believe that “making it” in NYC is REALLY impressive. I’m sure they are similarly dazzled by him loopholing his away out of taxes.
