The same people you hear that refrain from, “because this is where we’ve always lived and why should we move or do something so that we can make money, they just need to bring the jobs back” are the same ones who say people in countries with famine and drought should just up and move someplace else.

They believe in ‘bootstraps’ for brown people and millenials, but not for themselves. When they’re out of work, all these companies should just bring entire factories back to America despite the fact that it’s not cost-effective. When PoC/millenials want a living minimum wage, we’re spoiled brats asking a companies to…

It’s still kinda strange to me that in an election against neo-Nazis and people reading fake news that we kinda won, that the take away was for liberals to be more caring and for us to get out of our bubbles.

When Obama ran the first time Bill Maher (granted not the best source but I thought this was pretty spot on) said something like, look if you have to blacktop driveways for a living for your brother-in-law’s shitty side business while Obama decided to go to law school, that’s not Obama’s fault.

Every time some average Joe Trump voter bitches about what Trump is doing to screw over the middle class and working class, we need to remind them they voted for this. I can no longer be sympathetic when red state residents realized they’re fucked because they do it to themselves over and over and over again.

I find it quite sobering to realize just how futile it was for us to think any different. That pit of despair you feel in your stomach after the election? That’s called truth; the truth that no matter how bad Trump is, half of the people that voted put him in power. As nice as it might be to think we make sure he…

“You have a right to your own opinion. You don’t have a right to your own facts.” Something like that.

I’ve never hated facebook more than I have after the election.

I’ll take it a step further. Because of social media, you can always find someone who agrees with you no matter how stupid your idea is. So instead of someone keeping their stupid ideas to themselves because everyone in their office rolled their eyes when they said that the moon landing was fake, they now state them…

...kind of like how nobody seems to care that Petraeus leaked a bunch of classified info to his gal pal but Hillary needs to be locked up despite the FBI never being able to prove anything.

Hey! “Experts” are only in it to get on the big government teet of free “grants”! You can pay a “scientist” to say any goddamn thing! Whores, the lot of ‘em!

Fox News did a good job of training them to believe lies.

I’m super fed up with facts not mattering. That everyone deserves their own opinion even when it’s counter to reality. All you have to do is google what you want to know, there’s a crack-pot for every lid. Experts are denigrated for being ‘elite’ instead of being appreciated for their knowledge and hard work.

We’re fucked you guys.

I seriously don’t know how to fight something like this.

Not to get all tinfoil hat-y, but you can pretty much blame a good chunk of this election result on Facebook and the spread of fake news. People spot “news” that agrees with their own beliefs and biases and immediately accept it as legitimate. Angry, old white people seem incapable of spotting fake news.

Would have been nice if CNN et al. would have been this incredulous and condescending to Trump himself, who is exactly as loony as these folks but now has actual power to act in reaction to conspiracy theories.

I posit that she is both fully aware of and embraces said toxicity, and intends to use it to her full advantage. That one is no victim.

The rich know climate change is coming. They’re well-prepared for it. But boy is it a good tool to use to turn the masses against those “liberal elites” who want you to do heinous things like buy new light bulbs and stop throwing plastic, glass, paper, and metal in the garbage!

Fuck her. Fuck her coming and going. She’s a fucking liar and a con artist. She’s running a three card monte on the system. And, no, I will not play because I want to keep my money and my self-esteem. Fuck this woman.
