Equality for all or equality for none : (

I said this to my husband last night. W. Was problematic. I wasn’t fans of McCain or Romney, but even with George W Bush, I felt like he seemed like a good person with good intentions. Same with the others—we had myriad fundamental disagreements and I did not want them to be elected. But Trump is a different ballgame.…

I am from Mississippi, and due to the oil industry tanking, a whole bunch of red necks with high school diplomas went from making all kinds of money and living king of the trailer park to being as dirt poor the rest of the white trash. That’s trump’s base. White, pissed off early 30/late 20 something men and their…

Seriously I want to slap those rural white voters and yell at them that no, just because Trump is president doesn’t mean an unskilled high school dropout will magically get a $25 per hour factory job in the middle of cow pastures and soybean fields. Yes your benefits and food stamps will get cut some more like what…

Awww, honey. They don’t hate you, they hate themselves. They say they hate you, they might even make themselves believe it, but really they’re too gutless to face their own demons (surely you can see that Trump is a damaged man). I know that’s cold comfort, and I know it doesn’t do a damn thing to change how their…

I was just in tears on the phone with my sister in law. We were both remarking at how fucking ashamed we are of the 57% of white women who voted for trump. I’m so sorry...

I don’t think they hate you / us per se.

It’s like “Nah, nah, the trades are great! But I got my kid into Dartmouth and wouldn’t think of them doing anything like that......”

It feels fucking horrible. I might burst into tears again. Fuck. I just keep thinking how millions of white people hate me and people like me that fucking much.

It took me a second to realize you were referencing your username, not your boss just being racist since Trump won.

it does exist

I would like that as well.

i am angry today. i am fucking raging.

That was WHITE women who voted for him. That’s on them. White women are not feminists in any sense of the word.

Obama never said he would take anyones’ guns. The belief that he would was a paranoid fantasy of the right.

He’ll farm that out to folks like Christie, Carson, Newt, Giuliani, and the rest of the right-wing boneyard.

People will happily live with misery as long as they get to hurt someone else. Hate is one hell of a drug.

In 2000 people were worried about stupidity taking power and slowing social change. It wasn’t nearly as disappointing as the idea of hate taking power and reversing civil rights.

That’s very grim. To think that a person elected “President of the United States” has a vindictive agenda right out of the gate is sickening. First is free press, then... as Pastor Martin Niemöller put it.

There’s just about zero chance of that. His entire presidency is going to be about punishing his enemies, and liberals are his enemies. He’s going to actively work to make life worse for everyone who isn’t straight, white and male. And since there is absolutely nothing to keep him in check, he’s going to be very…
