This right here. For all their talk about bleeding heart liberals, the right-wing people I work with fall the fuck apart when they even have it hinted at them that their behaviors are supportive of bad things. They are soooo obsessed with the notion that they are good people and could never not be good people that…

Pain and suffering is not a zero-sum game. Just because your boyfriend suffered horrifically doesn’t mean you never are allowed to be upset, angry, hurt, traumatized, or any other emotion. Telling him that you’re hurting and he’s wrong to tell you that you’re not is not tantamount to denying his trauma. You do not…

Sounds like he has a lot to figure out, probably with you not there.

Yeah, this really isn’t okay. It sounds like perhaps he’s never processed his own trauma, and thinks that being ‘strong’ and pushing feelings down is the way to move on. If that’s the case, it’s very sad for him- but him trying to tell *you* how you should feel comes across as controlling and belittling, and a whole…

That is actually textbook emotional abuse and manipulation and not acceptable in any way.

Your boyfriend is being a reductionist shitbird. You have two options:

Let me add. . . I think what needs to be added is that for many of them (including the black folk you cite) they have many of the same views. I have a friend who is black but who has not and would never vote for Trump but some of the things about black folk that come out of his mouth are quite questionable. The other…

Funny, haven’t most of the vandalism and attacks against GOP/trump supporters been debunked as their own attacks against themselves carried out for attention?

Without question this is the correct analysis of what is going on in their heads.

Not a woman but I really expect Cory Booker to be the candidate (or at least a primary candidate) in 2020. He’s a very charismatic, young, attractive black (though I think he did a DNA test and found out that he was like 45% white and 5% Native American) man who has some political experience (executive and…

I’m sort of confused with your logic here...I mean if the idea is that Trump won on racism and misogyny how would a woman of color have more success as the next Democratic nominee than a white man since as a country we’ve proven we’re OK with and even supportive of racism and misogyny? Of course I’d love to see a…

Come on, by the time election day is there, there will have been a longgg campaign and 3 debates. People will know the opposing candidate. Let’s not make this into another reality show, X Factor, American Idol, all that shit. Trump’s terrified face during his visit at the WH says it all: OMG I won and now I actually…

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 love Hillary, I voted for her without reservations, I cried when she lost.

Trump’s a bastard, but he hasn’t got us into 2 wars, opened torture camps, tanked the economy or left an entire city to drown...not yet, anyway. Admittedly, his presidency is still very young. The Shrublet continues to hold the title until Trump racks up more “accomplishments”.
