It’s fine as long as the welfare queens don’t get the money either.

It’s just so blindingly obvious what he’s doing. Raising up his family members, none of whom have an iota of political experience, into what he obviously hopes will be a political dynasty, having continuous rallies, treating his cabinet picks like they’re to be revealed on a reality TV show... this is straight up cult…

“The crooked media won’t pan the cameras! No, wait, don’t pan the cameras, you crooked media types!”

It’ll be hilarious if the networks give the him the same 24/7 coverage as during the campaign, only to show his crowds getting smaller and smaller as his tour regresses, until he’s forced to cancel more than half of his appearances, a la Sarah Palin’s bus tour.

this is very true. some people have bought into the ‘American dream’, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps narrative so deeply that they refuse to see some of the fundamental unfairness in American society that keeps people down.

The problem with many poor white people is that they refuse to acknowledge that they are actually poor. Which is why they repeatedly vote against their own interests. Then they want to point the blame at everyone other than themselves when things continue to not work out for them. When their food stamps get taken…

And frankly, I’m sick of people blaming Trump’s win on ‘poor disaffected whites’ -- white people of every stripe, educational level and financial status voted for him in droves.

“He did a fraction of what Hillary did.”

They think they aren’t bigots because they don’t believe they feel direct hatred toward a minority.
What they fail to understand is that by voting bigots into power, they are as responsible for the injustice that occurs to minorities as the people actually committing them.

Oh they have access to these resources you laud, where else would the goblin king of Briefart news have capture them in such numbers?

I can never decide if the ones who voted for him because of the bigotry are the bigger assholes or the ones who just couldn’t be bothered to care about bigotry because it didn’t have an immediate impact on their lives are. I’m leaning towards they all deserve to suffer these next 4 years in the same hell they…

“Let’s face it, he’s going to look out for corporations, to make things work for them, to bring jobs back home,” Terry said. “And as things trickle down — as they’re going to because it’s America — the little guy will get something, too.”

So he’s treating the President of the United States like a gym teacher treats a fat kid?

“As things trickle down...” that guy should look up where we get that saying from.

His “thank you” tour just turns my stomach. Focus on learning the basics of government, because you skipped 8th grade social studies, instead of basking in an echo chamber.

So, I realize that most Trump voters may not identify themselves as bigots but they are certainly bigot adjacent. So pardon me while I give no fucks to their sense of remorse now. I’m a little too busy trying to find a way to protect my friends, family and myself because of the empowered dick heads who think his win…

On the one hand, I do feel a smidge of pity for some of these people. On the other, fuck them. I’m a poor white person who needs change too, but I’m also neither a bigot nor a fucking idiot so I’m really over the “poor white people just wanted change!” narrative. It feels patronizing and infantalizing. The only people…

I can’t feel sorry for them either. Trump never at any point told them how he’d build the damn wall, and clearly these people have a...negative, like -% understanding of politics and diplomacy. It’s all very simplistic. It’s all very student council president: “I’m going to make the school lunch people serve us pizza…

Yes, they can!

Long shots of the recent Trump “thank you” rally showed the venue to be half-empty. How quickly fades the bloom on an orange, racist rose. He’s gonna need a Reichstag attack to keep his followers sufficiently crazed.
