I know what you mean. at the start of this whole mess I had to wade through all the sexist/misogynistic Bernie supporters and then the crop of trump supports popped up. it’s been like wading though shit filled quick sand. I’m sorry about your brother :(

and that Hillary wants to kill all the babies, Pence, etc etc :(

here you go

I’m afraid of the repercussions if, and hopefully, when Hillary wins. It’s gotten really fucking ugly.

I live in Toronto so when people learn that I’m from the states the first question is always something like “wow, can you believe the election this year?” once they learn I’m Mexican it’s always “wow, what do you think about Trump?”

I try to wrap my head around it and I just can’t, and to just chalk it up to boys being boys is such bullshit.

There are so many layers of dysfunction surrounding everything about this election. I am 33 years old and cannot think of a more fucked up election in my time.

I remember laughing at the idea of Trump running for president a year ago, who would’ve known those were going to be simpler times.

I for some reason give the older generation a pass on their ignorance? I mean I’ll still call them out and just recently got into it with my father in law, but I’ve been the most shocked to learn how many of my peers - people I thought were my friends - that see nothing wrong with what that clown has said.

well it’s worse than what I thought it was. Enjoy your shower :)

lol thank you so much for reading it for me! I expected the reasoning to be stupid but hot damn, that took it to the next level. Sorry you had to read that.

denial & on some level I would imagine internalized misogyny which I admit is hard to shake, but damn.

I thought it was just a one off and only I had the misfortune of seeing it, I am sadly mistaken given how many people here have told me they’ve seen it too :(

it has apparently gotten LOTS of traction which is horrifying. almost glad to know I wasn’t the only one who saw it or has racist, shit bag “friends”

a bit of both maybe? this election has really shown me a lot of people’s true colors.

I am usually really into a good hate read myself but this election has really beat me down. First because of what that idiot has been saying about Mexicans, Muslims, and women & because I’m learning I’m friends with racists.

someone down thread, stronger than us lol, read it and said Hillary is dangerous to women because she has defending a rapist in court. So there’s that. God knows why she had to explain she was white.

amendments only matter when it comes to guns & free speech!

I couldn’t read it. I’m Mexican so I’m already so beat down by this whole stupid, racist election that for my own mental health I try to keep clear of things that are going to bring me down.

I think a lot of it is white women don’t have as much to lose with a Trump presidency than WOC? I mean, no one really got pissed until the pussy grabber comment happened. This could also be projection on my part because I’m a 1st gen Mexican American and was really fucking hurt by that bozo’s comments and the silence…
