We were totally undeserving of Obama, while Trump is exactly what this country fucking deserves.

He doesn’t listen anyway. He’s of the “I got mine, fuck everyone else” class of blue collar, union worker.

Me too. I called them out mercilessly until my own mother blocked me on FB and my daughter told her she didn’t want to spend time with her anymore because listening to the things she had to say was too upsetting to her. I was dis-invited to a family reunion because so many of my aunts and uncles and cousins were…

I don’t get this way of thinking at all. Here’s the thing, if someone says “white people fucked up by doing insert stupid thing here” and you didn’t do that stupid thing then why are you upset? No one is talking about you.

One of my thesis advisors was with MLK on the Edmund Pettus bridge, and has the deep scar in the front of his skull to show for it. When I asked him about that day, he described getting beaten down by a police officer, laying in a bloody heap on the bridge. I said “Holy shit, what did you do?” He said “Got up, kept…

I burned every bridge with my Trump voting family members yesterday. At first it was scary. Then it felt good.

A vote for Hillary (or Jill Stein or—in previous years—Barack Obama) only fails to matter if you’re used to voting for someone like you.

I voted for Clinton the Working Families ticket. Because, as this viral twete puts it,

So here is my question: What happens when Trump refuses to concede, screams that the election was rigged, and demands a recount? He will have his lawyers drag things out and drag as many people’s names as possible through the mud for months. How do we handle that?

I’ve talked about this on Jez before, but I live in a deep red state, with a deeply conservative family. I’ve watched with increasing disgust, anger, and fear as I’ve watched most of the people I know and love respond very differently than me to the events of this election.

I voted today with my 2 year old daughter. The voting place is at a school around the corner from our house. So, we walked there and she chatted away, as little girls do. I realize that to her it was just a nice, little walk with Mama. But for me, it was a walk that a lot of women didn’t get to ever make in our…

(last will and testament is read) (she is sold to a Russian oligarch to pay off his debts)

*Sigh* It’s just insane to me that we are unwilling (because we could figure out a way to do this if lawmakers made this a priority, but they won’t because they’re too busy cutting taxes for the rich and shit) to pay the people who care for and educate our kids a good wage. It’s insane. Of course, it’s all because…

I haven’t seen any evidence yet, but people are asking questions. Smart people. The best people.

Exactly - this is to deflect attention from his association with NAMBLA, which is well documented on the internet.

Do I believe they called him “Diaper Don?”

Right, I’ve heard stories along those lines too; I just don’t want to expect too much because that feels like a recipe for failure. “Expect the worst and hopefully be pleasantly surprised” is like my family motto. :\

I mean, come on, who’s in charge of America?”

This comment is bad.
