The definition of a Republican is someone who campaigns on the premise that government doesn’t work and once elected sets about proving it.

God this panel is so true.

I really hate this “we won, get over it!” It’s not a football game- this shit is real. We have to face real concerns. The system is set up to allow and encourage dissent and compromise!

Religion has always been about maintaining the patriarchy.

I don’t feel like waiting decades. I’ll be lucky to live two more before I die of old age. I don’t have children, but I have nieces and grand nieces, and I don’t want them to have to wait until they’re worn and weary to discover a brighter future.

no one is ever truly happy. to live is to suffer.

I have heard multiple analysts on NPR refer to Angela Merkel as the last standing leader of a free democracy and while I think that might be a little alarmist at this point, it also makes me ... alarmed. It’s easy to think that once we got to democracy we were at the pinnacle of political evolution and would stay…

It makes sense, and yet it’s just incredible how so many different countries have come to this same point, at the same time in our history.

Oh, the “kids’ll get a better world.” Enough of that shit—my parents said that in the 1970s, and their parents said it in the 1940s and 1950s. Granted, I don’t have to get up at the asscrack of dawn to chop cotton, and I can vote (for now!), but I always hated when adults said this as a kid, and as an old, I hate it…

It takes time, but it will happen. Probably decades, but the world our children inherit will be much better. So long as we don’t destroy it by then.

I like your optimism. For my own peace of mind, I am going to choose to believe that this is true. Until, of course, I read the next article on Trump and his cabinet of horrors, some nationalist movement in other countries, or Russia/Putin.

i shouldn’t have, but it just can’t take it anymore

I was so tempted to respond, but then it’s just not worth it.

yeah what the actual fuck is happening? is this the apolcalypse? i don’t understand how all the sudden the bad people are winning, and so handedly.

Me to the world as it takes several giant steps backwards because weak white men are afraid of losing power to women and other minorities.

This image obvs fake. He’s not orange.

your right these elections are just like star wars :

No comparison, the Emporer was evil but he was actually intelligient, and had a plan that didn’t get changed everytime he had a bowel movement.

Not enough gold plating on those Imperial troopers. Sad!
