This. Plenty of middle and upper class people voted for Trump. We didn’t see them making fools of themselves by frothing at the mouth during campaign rallies. We didn’t see them put signs in their yards. Instead, they just quietly pressed the button with (R) next to it when the election came. The media found a very…

To say that it was poor white people is so insulting - my Dad is a very well-off white dude in his 70's who thinks Trump is the best thing since sliced bread.

Yes, Van Jones is a gift to us. His whitelashing comment the other night made me tear up. I’m so annoyed with CNN, shit even Anderson Cooper was questioning the protesters last night and I turned him off.

And if they do name what is going on, they’ll be accused of starting a race war.

Yup. It’s a lot of high-school educated white people who are doing well for themselves but see that their children are going to have to get college degrees and gasp! actually compete with POC instead of being able to make a great living coasting on whiteness and mediocrity.

This is so so true. It’s so annoying when people try to explain it by saying “these voters felt left behind by the economy.” I live in Kentucky. Most Trump supporters I know are relatively well off (it is true, in my experience, that many do not have college degrees, but work trade or own businesses) and white. It’s…

Hello, welcome to Lifehacker. We publish guidance on lots of things that you can probably figure out how to do on your own. For example, our guide to basic personal hygiene was wildly popular.

But I do remember the Right being pretty upset when Obama took office. 8 years later, tempers cooled about it and look where we’re at.

Okay, so tell me how you’d explain to your child the people that are assaulting women right now, brandishing firearms at Muslims and gays, telling Latino children that their parents will get hauled away, chanting the N-Word in schools, proudly doing these with no shame and fear of reprisal, and how people who claim to…

Have you read his plans for his first 100 days? Just because he isn’t acting over the top doesn’t mean he isn’t going to do a lot of very stupid hateful things.

Do you have any basis for that? He controls every branch of government. He doesn’t even need Congress to implement his Muslim ban, increase deportations, remove regulations on banks, eliminate clean air rules, etc. And this isn’t difficult for him. He can delegate the job and his staffers/cabinet will do it. …

Have you seen the “Trump Day 1” posts? It’s not Trump I’m afraid of. It’s the people chanting the N-Word, spitting on and accosting women, Muslims, immigrants, and queers with impunity. IN SCHOOLS, no less.

I don’t actually think he’ll do what he says he will — most of that is impossible or likely to be tied up for years in legal battles. I’m more afraid that he’ll do what Mike Pence says he’ll do (socially) and what Paul Ryan says he’ll do (economically). Trump will bore of the daily duties pretty quickly. Like halfway…

“Republicans aren’t working to dismantle anything just for the sake of it”

So your hope is that everything Trump has said and done for the past 8 years has been a lie?

Probably true. But you can’t say kids don’t care when a bunch of seven year olds are obviously having conversations about it.

I had zero conversations with my kid about the upcoming election or anything about the candidates and my seven year old still came home telling me all about how Trump is a big bully who hates everybody and even got into a fight with my mother about it. She brought all of that home from school, so when she found out…

First, Obama didn’t control all three branches of government like Trump and the Republicans will on Jan. 20th.

“I do remember the Right being pretty upset when Obama took office. 8 years later, tempers cooled about it and look where we’re at.”

I keep wanting to send shit like this to well-intentioned friends who are trying to convince me, and themselves by extension, that things probably won’t be as bad as we’re thinking since the Republicans will reel Trump in. The only thing keeping me from doing it is that I know that they are suffering and while I’m…
