Yeah, those white men defending their lands from the brown horde....apt analogy for sure.

lol love you Barack but no we don’t. Our fellow citizens are racist, sexist assholes. And the ones who aren’t racist and sexist are at a minimum incredibly selfish and self-serving and they can all get fucked.

Pardon her for what? She hasn’t been convicted of anything. She hasn’t even been charged with anything. You can’t pardon the innocent.

This idea that our fellow citizens are innately good people.

You know what, I’m not buying it.

Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get better for them. It’s been downhill for them since the Reagan administration, but they keep voting for the folks that ship their jobs overseas, bankrupt their pensions, pull their social safety nets, etc. Asking for sympathy while shooting yourself in the foot really only…

The last sentence is the only sentence of your post that is based in realism. The concept of American exceptionalism has granted racists, shitlords, and assholes the liberty to never learn. This election didn’t change the tide of america, it exposed it.

I look around and I see a lot of delusional souls voting for an ignoramus because they’re mad that a black guy was the Potus for the last 8 years . Are you seriously suggesting those people would have been convinced to vote differently ?

Sorry when a guy in a pick up truck with a Trump sticker tells me “time for you to go back to your country” (I’m Asian), then he’s fucking racist. He’s not interested in me explaining how hurtful he’s being. He’s just an angry racist who wants to blame everyone for his miserable life, and wants to use his white-ness…

Said this elsewhere, but it bears repeating... Clinton, Obama, et al were right about one thing: this election was about what kind of country we are. And the electorate has decided: we are an asshole. Of the assholes, by the assholes, for the assholes. And now we have an Asshole-in-Chief. Van Jones is right, we are a…

“But... but, muh feelings!”

I have nothing to say other than I have honestly never been so ashamed to be an American as I am tonight.

Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate because she’s a woman and we live in a horribly misogynist society.

But mostly, fuck you and fuck your fucking misogyny.

No, fuck you for pushing that “both cadidates are bad” nonsense. That’s why we’re in this situation.

NO. Sorry, but no. This is not Hillary Clintons fault. This is the fault of the people who voted for Donald Trump in spite of every monstrous thing he’s said and done for the past 50 years, and of anyone who didn’t take it seriously or thought it couldn’t happen. This is the fault of anyone who doesn’t know shit about…

Yas.

And yet, you have not yet written a four-paragraph essay about how you didn’t really have to, or want to, and how imperfect she is, and what a struggle it was to reconcile your personal purity-tests against the grim meathook realities of the candidates, and how you’d much rather vote for someone you’re personally…

As a straight white male:

You guys are reading Deadspin (and the cohort they represent) for filth and I am here for it.
