Kate McKinnon is an openly LGBT woman, and one could argue that the rhetoric of the Trump/alt-right has been more vitriolic towards those folks (actually, one hardly has to argue the point as there’s already some discussion about going after gay marriage in some circles). So no, I think Kate was the perfect choice.
Ok I just have to say....you should not be fucking anyone like that. Yes, it may be judgmental but you are worth more.
I’ve been arguing all week with my friends who voted for President-Elect Cheeto, and all I have to say is this: If you tell me you “will not tolerate racism, hate, harassment or violence,” but you voted for Trump, then you really aren’t being true to your word.
I feel you. I’m struggling to feel normal too. Like I had class today and I didn’t even smile or look at anyone and I’m usually pretty outgoing and friendly with my classmates. I know so many of them either didn’t vote or voted for him. It takes all my energy not to shake every single one of them and say “do you know…
And those voters are dummies. Voting for an objectively unqualified candidate over the most qualified candidate ever because you don’t “like” her - and nothing else - is pure stupidity.
I keep seeing it all over social media, long missives along the lines of - “I voted for Trump, but I’m not a racist, misogynist, homophobe and here’s why- how dare you label me as such?”
FINALLY, someone cuts the shit.
Starred, and then unstarred because of the last paragraph. I’m older than you, lived through the same situation, agree with you that there was an idealism in this country that just died a pretty rapid and gruesome death. But hectoring someone about how and how long they grieve over what is very much an emotional…
“do you people really believe that EVERY person who voted for Trump is a violent racist, misogynist, homophobe, rapist?”
At the very least every single trump voter was willing to sacrifice the health, safety, and civil liberties of women, minorities, disabled, immigrants, lgbt, etc. for their own security. Looking the other way makes you complicit in his actions. If he does a racist/sexist/etc thing, you are just as guilty as he is. You…
Winning the electoral college does not absolve Trump of the grave sins he committed against millions of Americans.
Look, I get that you don’t want to think poorly of your friends. And I get that you want some kind of reasoned, unemotional conversation. But here’s the thing. We’re talking about real people’s lives. We’re talking about women dying when Roe v Wade is overturned. We’re talking about LGBTQ kids committing suicide after…
You ask me, supporting a racist rapist who has zero policies and only stokes bigotry and hatred makes someone a pretty terrible person. But, then again, I’m a queer woman whose friends are largely women, queer folks, and POCs. You know, the people Trump and his followers hate and plan to punish for existing.
I’d like to throw out a congratulations all the smarmy people who thought that Trump wouldn’t have a chance. If you’re a minority in any way shape or form you know that most of the country is still racist, sexist, xenophobic etc. The people who voted green make me sick.
Queue the Johnson/Stein supporters who will say it’s our fault. Fuck those people until the end of time.
I really think that sex offender lists should include a description of what they did. That way we can distinguish the “public urination” folks from guys like this.
They probably assumed he’s a democrat because he’s handsome.
I’m sorry you had to go through that. I just hope karma will catch up with him sooner rather than later, since human law has failed you. His misery will not undo your suffering, but sometimes it is so cathartic to see horrible people suffer. I’m sorry, I am not the “forgive and forget” type. I hope his life is one…
