Trump supporters have been interviewed about why they were voting for him.

He’s a bit of a mixed bag. Was arrested for protesting apartheid in S Africa but was criticized by SCLC for being silent on issues like black voter disenfranchisement in Florida during the 2000 election. You’re thinking of Bernice, his sister.

Slightly OT, but I think A LOT of people didn’t know about John Lewis until Trump, and that’s an affront against our government and our history as a country.

While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…

Anyone else find themselves constantly doing that thing where you start a rant, decide you need to stop because you’re going to make yourself sick/have a rage stroke, and then 10 seconds later start up again because you just can’t stop?

Here’s my impression of the average Washington Post commenter and my reaction.

The full quote is more chilling and makes what this is about much more explicit, I think:

Been listening to this podcast for a while now, and I have to give it up a genuine plug. Patrick does a fantastic job bringing the subject matter to life, keeping some fairly complex historical theories understandable for those us without a PhD and generally tells a good story. If you are looking for production…

So Mr. Kempenich, say you yourself are outside the state capitol protesting against a woman’s right to an abortion and a driver accidentally runs you over with his car - will that exempt him from liability for injuring or killing a pedestrian?

If liberals don’t start actually fucking voting, we are no-shit going to enter a dystopia where the constitution is all but gone. I’m even more mad at my own group than I am at conservatives. We know that this kind of shit is exactly what they’re always going to try and do when in power, and we don’t care enough to…

“We won’t violate the right to peaceful protest.”

People keep asking me why these things bother me so much, and why we should keep doing things like send aid or provide healthcare, and it’s seriously like, “I literally cannot explain to you how not to be asshole. Because that’s what this is, your gross inability to care for other people.”

Most of the “do nothing” Congress got voted right back in, which is the bigger problem. For a country that claimed they wanted “change”, they didn’t apply that to the right branch of government.

“Human life, beginning at the moment of conception, is sacred in all of its forms and today, I introduced a bill that will protect the lives of voiceless innocents,”

Third party votes aren’t why Republicans control Congress. It wouldn’t be an issue if people didn’t think every Congressperson but theirs sucks. A Trump Presidency would have been feckless if Dems had put money and time into state races. They didn’t. I am involved with my local Democratic committee. They fucked this…

Where my Satanists at?

FUCK THESE FUCKING FUCKERS WITH A FUCK STICK, GET THEM PREGNANT AND MAKE THEM CARRY THE ALIEN FOR THE REST. OF. THEIR. LIVES. MOTHERFUCKERS.

First off, Democrats can’t primary Sanders. He’s an independent. At best they could run a primary to nominate someone against him in the general.

The problem with Bernie is that he never did his part to help Democrats win. He never helped the team. He just helped Bernie Sanders. Bernie stayed in the race two or three months too long yelling about Clinton being corrupt the entire time. After losing, Bernie didn’t hit the trail for Hillary but worked on his…

I’d be more willing to accept Bernie’s advice on rebuilding the Democratic party if he would put his money where his mouth is and actually put a “D” by his name instead of remaining “I”. Because right now he’s trying to ride the party’s name recognition into the spotlight without Democrats in Vermont being able to run…
