Yeah, I was not a big fan of that this morning either. Kinda seemed dog whistle-y.

Receipt for a payment to Planned Parenthood for a mistress’s abortion.
Gaslighting is the crux of the Republican agenda. If they can trick people into forgetting reality/the past, they can trick them into anything.
Mike Pence has always been corrupt as the rest of ‘em, he just has an ability to sound rational when explaining away the terrible things he’s done. Look up what he did to Glenda Ritz in Indiana. He’s the worst of the worst.
Several people I know are saying that the Republican establishment is going to stand up to this appointment. There’s no chance of that. What is actually happening is Republican racism is being brought into the light.
One of the memories from the 2004 election that still sticks out in my mind was when Gwen Ifill wonderfully moderated the VP Debate. She was a truly great American journalist and she will be missed in the coming years.
Well. I just. I.
I can’t force anyone to listen to or believe me, but reality is reality. I know what happened when I was in high school and I guess the fact that you don’t believe me or think that I’m making this up is your issue. I’m sorry that you are so distrustful of other people that you would automatically dismiss their lived…
Well, if he’d like to trade places I’d be more than willing to be called a bad guy and evil and that I “represent all that is wrong with America and the world” if it meant that I didn’t have to worry about paying for health insurance, worry about paying the rent, stop getting called a cunt, guarantee economic…
Yes, he was okay with me having teachers who openly encouraged me to vote republican. In fact, he often helped me to choose classes with teachers that did have different political beliefs as him because he wanted me to learn critical thinking skills and not be stuck in an echo chamber. I remember regularly having…
“And so, while Sanders’s description of Trump voters fits nicely into his own important agenda of bringing to light and combating devastating income inequality...”
My father has been a high school special education teacher for more than 20 years, and one thing that he makes sure to do is to show his students the PBS documentary “Eyes on the Prize.” For many of the white students, this is the first time they see footage from the civil rights movement and the first time they get…
I know, exactly. It totally undermines the “economic anxiety” theory. It was flat out racism up and down the board.
What did you want her to do? What more could she have possibly done? Get a fucking time machine and not give the Goldman Sachs speeches? She went left on everything. And people still just called her disingenuous or any other matter of things because she wasn’t their first pick.
Great, thanks for the reassurance. Again, I’ll think first and foremost of crying Bernie fans who were unenthusiastic about Clinton as I lose my health insurance. And my right to get an abortion. And my right to free birth control. And when people assault my Muslim, Black, and Latino friends. I’ll think, gosh darn…
Yeah yeah, #NotAllMen, #NotAllWhites, #AllLivesMatter, ect. ect. ect.
If the pictures/videos above represent the demographics, it’s a lot of white people.
As soon as Trump puts someone on the Supreme Court, the tide turns. I’m not sure if you are a uterus-having American, but this is very real. Mike Pence means business and he has an incredible ability to sound reasonable when supporting incredibly horrible things.
Yes, white folks did vote him in. That’s the fucking problem. They looked at their POC neighbors and said, “Nope, the possibility of lower taxes and the chance to tarnish the legacy of our first black president is worth more than them.” The white Republicans (and Independents in Name Only) were going to align…
